Yelton Manor Bed and….SKIP Breakfast!!

We played around with the Sharpies again this morning!!!

And our iconic South Haven pier and lighthouse!

We live on one of the most beautiful shorelines in the world.

We never get tired of it, we never take it for granted, we celebrate it endlessly.

And we love when it inspires our guests with the same sense of awe.

Come and share it with us!

Here’s another picture perfect evening on Lake Michigan. 

 Kerry Mark Salon and Day Spa is a full service day spa right downtown South Haven and walkable from Yelton Manor’s front door.  I don’t know about you, but when I take a holiday I always tie it into some personal care, a manicure-pedicure, a massage, definitely!  Kerry Mark Spa has expert massage therapists and I especially like their romantic “Couples Massage”, side by side in a beautiful setting, aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.  Staffed by absolutely wonderful people, you’ll love this spa!

We are asked to host 1000s of weddings every year. We only agree to a handful of them.

Choosing The Manor for such an important event is a lovely compliment to us, but in reality most weddings are much too large for our inn to accommodate. We don’t have the space, the parking, the staff, the know-how, even the bathrooms.

And though Elaine surely loves doing The Chicken Dance, we simply aren’t in the wedding business.

We are happy to make recommendations for wedding locations that we think are wonderful and better suited for such large parties, just ask us.

If you are thinking of a more intimate event, like an elopement, with just bride and groom (and perhaps one other couple as witnesses), we are delighted to host a lovely ritual for you at The Manor.

Elaine is ordained to officiate, Robert takes great photos. All for no more cost than your overnight stay. And The Chicken Dance is only upon request, we promise.

The Manor celebrates engagements, honeymoons, commitment ceremonies, anniversaries, birthdays, friends and family reunions, girlfriend bashes, life celebrations of all kinds, every day. Solo retreats, romantic escapes and small group getaways are what we do best, so that’s what we do. You will surely feel the magic of 25 years of joy and laughter–it’s in the air!!– when you bring your special occasion to us.

And, here’s a happy footnote: When you come to The Manor to be private, romantic and quiet, you won’t end up stuck in the middle of a riotous whole-house wedding party. Gotta love that.

This beautiful article was published today in Michigan Blue Magazine, Spring 2012!!

We had a great garden party and hope you enjoy the photos too!

Your one stop center for information on all things South Haven, Michigan is the local Visitor’s Bureau.

Lodging, attractions, dining, festivals, shopping, the works, it’s all in one easy stop here.

And, of course, when you are a guest at Yelton Manor Bed and Breakfast, we’ll customize your options with exactly what you want to do as well as offer our own suggestions.

Each morning at Yelton Manor B&B we post a little newsletter at the sweets table which includes the 10 day weather forecast, a bit of headline news, info on what is happening in the resort, an inspiring quote, and the most important info of all: what time the sun sets.

Nothing resets the spirit like a Lake Michigan sunset.

Our guests send their photos and we post them here.  Need some “ahhhhhhh time”? Come here and surf the photos.  Better yet, come and be in the photo yourself.
