This was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast, we can’t say enough about how great Ruth and her staff are. The Castle in the Country is beautiful, the breakfasts are delicious, the beds are sooo comfortable. From the fresh baked cookies, coffee, trail mix and help yourself to microwave popcorn available all the time, they really think of all the little extra things to make your stay awesome.
We did the Elopement Package and couldn’t be happier, a worry free away to get married. With all the extras to make it even more special. Thank you so very much for making our stay and wedding wonderful! We will be back😁
We will definitely be back as this was a much needed "break" from our everyday life. The small towns are like walking through a hallmark movie. The property and rooms are beautiful as well as comforting like were in our own home. Beds and pillows are amazing which you rarely see when leaving home in my opinion. Everything was wonderful and we had a fantastic time. Staff was so kind and helpful and you can tell they truly care.
Our room was very well decorated and cozy upon our arrival. My wife loved that the bathrobes were provided for our use. We definitely felt special. The fireplace adds a nice touch as well. The part that really blew us away was the service. Ruth and the staff really go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect and provide extra little amenities that you would never find in a hotel. Breakfast was exceptionally good and the staff does a great job waiting on you. We will definitely be back during the summer time where we can walk the trails and use the outdoor fireplace and kayaks.
This was our first experience together at a b&b and it was even better than we expected! We stayed in the sir Lancelot suite and it was beautiful. The shower and tub were both amazing and relaxing and the indoor fireplace was really romantic. The breakfast they provide was so amazing I could’ve stayed a whole week just to try everything. The grounds were very well kept and romantic. The staff was super helpful about things to do during the day in nearby towns as well. The couples massage was a very relaxing experience and the picnic basket we had was amazing. They truly made our anniversary memorable and more romantic than I could’ve ever imagined. Would definitely stay here again.
Perfect place for a romantic getaway. Everything about this place is delightful. The staff and the innkeeper are extremely helpful and accommodating. Each room has its own theme and is decorated beautifully. It’s located on 65 acres of forestry which makes it perfect for taking hikes to the nearby lakes and ponds. Everything we ate was made from scratch and was so delicious. Each amenity was thoughtful and planned. This place is extremely detailed. I’m so impressed with the service and the staff’s knowledge of the area. They gave us great recommendations for dinner, day trips, and fun things to do. We loved having hot cocoa in the twinkle light gazebo on the pond and walking the grounds. We are so happy we stayed here and we will definitely come back. We loved staying at the castle! Would recommend!
My husband and I stayed in the Camelot room. The whirlpool and shower are heavenly. The food is scrumptious, the grounds are lovely (walking around is a pleasure) and Ruth made sure we were satisfied with everything. Would recommend this place for anyone who wants to get away from it all.
Very lovely B&B. Has 2 buildings which are on a large, very secluded area with some good walking paths. The staff were very nice and did a good job of telling us about the area. The menu for breakfast was fantastic.
Loved the grounds, the staff, and the breakfast. The rooms were beautiful (romeo and juliet), loved the fireplace, jacuzzi, and lighting. Very quiet and peaceful all around. Loved talking walks through the wooded trails. Breakfast was relaxing and delicious. I really appreciated how the staff led so well and didn't make us guess where to go, or what to do. Cookies and milk, and snacks were a great touch. We also loved the lights outside and the fireplace on the patio. Truly an experience, and set the tone for our peaceful weekend away from our 4 young boys! Loved it and I'm already recommending this place to friends!
For the last several years, Castle in the country has been our favorite getaway place to celebrate our anniversary. The owners pay meticulous attention to detail where it matters. The comfortable rooms, delicious breakfasts, friendliness of staff and gorgeous setting in the Michigan countryside helps the stress to fall off. Highly recommend!
Castle in the Country thought of everything! We very much enjoyed our stay. Ruth was very welcoming and professional. The room was very clean. The whirlpool tub was wonderful!! We had a little trouble with the lock on the paddle boat and kayaks, but were still able to take the boat out for a spin. We will definitely return!
Me and my husband were celebrating our 2nd anniversary. It was our first time at a B&B .and it exceeded my expectation by far. The room was awesome! The staff was very nice and helpful. We stayed for two nights and breakfast was included which was really good. We definitely will be back.
My husband and I stayed in the Castle and had such a relaxing and amazing weekend. The staff is extremely knowledgeable about the area and was so helpful in sharing with us good area restaurant options and activities to do. And breakfast was delicious! We have an annoying amount of food allergies, but Herb and Ruth were so accommodating and gracious. The room was beautiful as well as the grounds. We highly recommend it and hope to return in the future!
Perfect Christmas gift for my husband. A very special weekend getaway. The Castle and Castle Keep are beautiful and unique. Room was comfortable, cute, and not old fashioned. Loved the real fireplace! Loved the jetted tub. Breakfast was delicious! Herb is a great chef! The property is AMAZING. Next time we'll do an easy run or bring our cross country skis. Want to come back and kayak, too. Great dinners at Grill House and Salt of the Earth. We'll definitely go back to both restaurants. Great couples massage at the Castle Keep. Can't recommend Castle in the Country highly enough!
Sept. 2106 - Enjoyed everything (except the road noise) immensely. Very detail oriented and we felt like house guests. A sign up sheet for the kayaks and paddle boat might be helpful. We'll be back.
We returned in Jan. 2017 and enjoyed another luxurious stay. Accommodations and food were again tremendous. We're fans for life!
Right from the beginning it was a magical experience. The landscape and the facility are breath-taking and the staff's hospitality is off the charts amazing! We stayed in the Romeo and Juliet Suite and it was almost tear worthy on how clean and beautiful it was. The relaxing Jacuzzi tub and ultimate comfy bed helped us unwind from the craziness of our daily routine. In the morning an gourmet 2 course breakfast was prepared with a side of fresh fruit. Going for a walk down to the dock after breakfast and looking over the water with the morning mist still linger as the sun climbs in the sky was the perfect place for the proposal! At night there is hanging lights by the gazebo where we danced under the stars; which is a must do for any romantics out there. All the beverages tea, coffee, and hot coca was absolutely delicious and the added personal touches like the home made chocolate chip cookies made us feel special and unplug from the world. 10 out of 10 on our score, we will tell everyone to come and stay here. The best decision we had to begin our lives together. Thank you all at Castle in the Country for making this trip a memorable experience.
