Welcome to the Last Resort Inn, a South Haven, Michigan bed and breakfast located between Lake Michigan and the City Marina. It is just a half block to the Lake on one side, a half block to the Harbor on the other side, and Town is just a ten-minute stroll across the drawbridge.

Your Innkeeper and Artist, Mary, is in her twenty-seventh season this year ... no small feat! She and her husband, Alberto's artwork can be seen throughout the entire Inn, including The Inn Gallery, the common areas, as well as in the more contemporary penthouse suites. Their unique lodging accommodations include a wide variety of amenities including air conditioning, en-suite baths, whirlpool tubs, kitchenettes and all the comfort that you deserve. Many of their rooms have views of water, making the Inn truly special!

Offering small affordable cozy rooms for two; spacious Penthouse Jacuzzi suites for couples or families, a romantic cottage and an apartment as spacious as a small condo...this Inn offers the relaxed non-formal atmosphere you are looking for when you need to unwind and get away! Whether it's for a family reunion (we take children in the bigger units located at one end of the building) or for a romantic get-away: or for that much needed independent escape...THIS is the right place! A 66' wrap-around deck graces the front facing the gardens where guests enjoy their complimentary breakfast...and there is a gas grill on the back deck for guest use. The Inn Gallery has plenty of tables for breakfast use, or MEETINGS FOR CORPORATE RETREATS.

Artists Mary Hammer and Alberto Quiroga welcome you to a visual feast of diverse, colorful work throughout the inn.
The Inn's location in South Haven, on the shores of Lake Michigan, puts guests in close proximity to wide variety of interesting attractions. Enjoy such exciting outdoor activities as fishing, boating, and swimming in the Lake. Spend an afternoon with a round of golf or hike along the Kal-Haven Trail. Bicycles for rent make it easy to explore the town. No matter what activities you choose to fill your days with be sure to leave plenty of time to explore the Inn.
The Last Resort Inn is Mary's largest work of art. Guests will delight in the international flavor she has picked up and incorporated in the décor. In the many small historic rooms, she has on display wall hangings from places like India, Guatemala, and China! This unique artist couple welcomes travelers of all ages, as well as families, to stay here from North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia and other parts of the World.

A little bit of History: The Last Resort B&B Inn began when the building was constructed in 1883 by Civil War Captain Barney Dyckman as South Haven's very first resort Inn. It ran as a resort until 1959, when it was closed up and virtually abandoned for twenty years. The Inn was purchased and renovated from 1979 until its reopening in 1983, as South Haven's very first bed and breakfast Inn! It is now open May 1st through October. Read more in the Press Kit.
