10 REASONS WOMEN LOVE TO STAY AT THE NORDIC PINEAPPLE

Whether it's a cozy place to stay for the night after a trip up north or a romantic weekend getaway, women love staying at the Nordic Pineapple. We'd like to think there are more than ten reasons, but we'll stick with some of our favorites. Feel free to add more in the comment section:)

1. Large, Spacious bathrooms

The bathrooms at the Nordic Pineapple are not something you'd find at your normal hotel stay. The words spa and retreat come to mind, especially when you turn the lights down low and sink into one of our large jetted tubs. This is a large, historic home and the amenities take advantage of that space. Every guest suite at the Nordic Pineapple has its own attached bathroom with a stand up shower. Five of the seven rooms have jetted tubs and if you want to soak the day away, well, there will be no one there to tell you you shouldn't.

2. Meeting New People

Staying at a Bed and Breakfast is very social. We find travelers often look forward to a deeper connection with the place they stay. The opportunity to meet other interesting guests and find something in common, is something you are not as likely to get at a big hotel. We think you'll love the common areas in our Inn, they provide a chance to meet other guests as well as your innkeepers. We are looking forward to it!

3. The add-ons (did someone say ice cream?)

When we were deciding on the Add-ons we would offer, our goal was to offer items that had the potential to be the highlight of your stay. Some of our favorites include Breakfast in Bed, the Romance is in the Air package, Charcuterie Boards or Something Sweet! Maybe you have an occasion you're celebrating? The Celebration Cake won't disappoint!

4. 24-hour Snacks!

Since you're our guests, we provide access to snacks 24/7! The "Coffee Clutch, or Bistro" is stocked with a water station, Keurig coffee maker and assorted snacks and treats. We have one on each floor, so you're never too far away from a cup of coffee.

5. The Local Shopping

Since it's within walking distance of downtown St. Johns, staying at the Nordic Pineapple provides a shopping experience any woman would love. Several local businesses offer discounts to our guests, so make sure to ask about some of our favorite spots before you head out.

6. Our Events!

If you want to have some fun during your getaway, look no farther than our Euchre Weekend or Murder Mystery events! Both are full weekend events and provide our guests entertainment, three-course dinners and great memories. The Murder Mystery's are sold out at the moment, but you can still book a private event and gather some friends to help you find the killer!

7. The Chance to Relax.  

Our suites are designed to make you feel comfortable, to help you relax and get the most out of your stay. Take as much time as you'd like to enjoy the sunshine in a lounge chair on your own private balcony, create memories with a relaxing night by the fire or enjoy a book in your private room's sitting chair. Sometimes it's as simple as having coffee or enjoying a board game on the patio. Our goal is to make sure your stay is everything you dreamed it would be.

8. The local trails and bike paths

You couldn't ask for a better spot for trails, St. Johns boasts some of the best. Our city park has some great wooded trails with tennis courts, a sledding hill, public bathrooms and more! You can't go wrong with Motz Park either, the trail takes you around a scenic lake and when you're done you can enjoy swimming, fishing or an afternoon picnic.

For those looking for a longer run/ride, the Fred Meijer Trail runs for 41 miles and goes right through downtown St. Johns. It's a great place to enjoy a bike ride!

St. Johns is a great small town and there is always something to do. The August Mint Festival is always a time that sells out at our Inn, but there are so many other happenings during the entire year to check out.
