The Oaklands - Bed & breakfast in Kalamazoo - 1815 W Michigan Ave, USA

I was delighted to find this historic (1868) BnB on the campus of Western Michigan University. We had the place to ourselves. Its grounds offer gardens and magnificent oak trees. Common rooms of the parlor, porch, sitting areas are furnished with period furniture. All was spotless. We selected the 1898 suite and junior suite. Period furnishings, great bedding, adequate bathroom (remember it's an old house) and then the very reasonable cost of adjoining bedroom which had comfy sofa bed worked out well. There was privacy and comfort and economy. Breakfast needs help. The kitchen was being remodeled. The temporary breakfast room was fine. However, provisions hadn't been replenished to our satisfaction. On site personnelle was a little hard to locate in the old quarters at the back of the house. But don't let these things deter you. It was the best overall!!

Beautiful historic house, spotlessly clean. We really enjoyed our stay in this fabulous house and it is perfectly located on campus.
