The Nordic Pineapple Bed and Breakfast
Summer 2019
Welcome to the first addition of The Nordic
Pineapple’s Quarterly Newsletter. It is hard to
believe that it has already been almost a year
since we embarked on this exciting journey. We
have met the most amazing people and can’t
wait to see what the future holds. We wanted
to share some interesting facts, upcoming
events, recipes and other fun tidbits with all of
you and we hope that you will find this
newsletter informative and fun. We hope to see
you the next time you find yourself in mid-
Michigan.

Travel Tip:
Mark your baggage as fragile. This is a great way to
ensure that your baggage is handled correctly. Your
luggage is kept at the top because of this, which will make
it one of the first bags to be released.

Kids of The Inn
We thought it would be fun to highlight what it is like to grow up in a Bed and
Breakfast. Garret and Gracie both help around the inn by helping with laundry and
stocking rooms. They also enjoy visiting with guests and taste testing new recipes.
Garret has spent his summer hangin’ with his friends, having nerf
wars, playing Pokémon and swimming in our family pool.
Gracie has spent the summer having sleepovers with her girlfriends,
playing on her computer and just overall relaxing.
Mom is ready for school but both Garret
and Gracie think summer should last forever.
New at The Inn
We now offer bikes for you to
borrow and explore the area. We
can even add a sack lunch to your
stay, allowing you to enjoy a picnic
on your adventure.

was in a lovely neighborhood. The owners were super nice and eager to
tell the history of their historic bnb. They provide a delicious
breakfast homemade that you would think was made by a professional

area!!!!“
