Breakfast is always an event at the Inn, and is included in your room rate. A typical breakfast starts with peaches in a cloud, fresh seasonal fruits, our famous blueberry coffee cake, or lemon poppy seed muffins. The main course includes numerous guest favorites such as Apple-cherry crisp French toast, Egg strata souffle’, Belgian waffles, Fluffy omelets, Sweet-tangy kielbasa sausage, and cheesy basil potatoes. Dietary restrictions are no problem as we go out of our way to accommodate our guests’ needs. All our breakfasts are homemade with farm-fresh ingredients and we use local Michigan farmer’s market harvests whenever possible.
In 1853, E. A. Fenn migrated to Michigan from New York City. As did so many early settlers, he opened a sawmill, and the settlement was thus called “Fenn’s Mill”. Several years later the name was changed to Fennville. Birds Eye Foods is one of the largest employers in the city, so you know there are plenty of quality vegetables served in the excellent restaurants in the area. Check out the Blue Goose, or Su Casa. Did I hear the word “goose”? That brings up another topic: the annual Goose Festival held in October. Entertainment, vendors, parades—all add to the fun. Lake Michigan and the Allegan Forest both provide venues for all sorts of outdoor activities. There’s hiking, cycling, horseback riding, hunting, bird watching, golfing, kayaking, canoeing, and dune rides. Winter brings snowboarding, snowmobiling, and skiing. Top off your day with a visit to Crane’s Pie Pantry for some hot chocolate and a sweet treat! For a calmer day, let’s attend the Water Front Film Festival, and then tour the Fenn Valley Winery. We’ll meet you there!
Indeed, Southeast Michigan is a fertile region, known for its rich farmland. Visit the Holland area, just northwest of Fennville, in the spring to walk among thousands of tulips. Stop by The Gary Crane Farm to pick blueberries, raspberries, apples, and more. Or ask our bed and breakfast innkeepers about nearby farmers markets, and take home a basket of fresh produce.
Outdoor recreation enthusiasts will enjoy downhill ski areas within 35 miles of Fennville. Ski the scenic Bittersweet Ski Area in the beautiful Kalamazoo River Valley, or the lovely wooded trails of Timber Ridge Ski Area. Cross-country skiers may enjoy the trails of nearby Saugatuck Dunes State Park or explore the good dozen golf courses in the area that are open to Nordic skiing in winter.
Downtown Fennville has a charming historic Main Street. The town comes alive at the beginning of October with The Fennville Goose Festival. Quirky and fun, complete with a parade, pet show, wild goose chase, and gosling run, the festival is well worth a trip to a Fennville bed and breakfast.
