History

The Inn was a boarding house at the turn of the century. We like to imagine that Great Lake mariners & Singapore lumbermen stayed here then.

At one time the Inn was the private residence known as the "Jackson House" locally -- the house was open to the Butler St. town parks then. In the 1980's Art Galleries were added to the Water ST. side of the property. In 1994 Linda & Louie Brooks became the owners and the house was restored to its original state to become the marvelous IVY INN.

The Innkeepers:
Linda - Owner
Susy - Manager

Linda and Susy are both life-long generational locals and have known each other since High School and are still good friends. Both Linda and Susy continue to have a wonderful time in Saugatuck and would love to share it with you.
