My wife and I had a tremendous experience at the port city Victorian inn. Our host Barb and Fred are meticulous caretakers of this property. It's like they spent the last 25 years updating and remodeling this home so that my wife and I can enjoy one perfect day. The property is unbelievable and it's detail and quality and cleanliness and almost matches up to the friendliness and charm of the hosts Fred and Barb. Highly, highly recommended we're going back !

Barb and Fred have mastered the art of being gracious, informative and attentive hosts in a beautiful and comfortable historical home.. They know the Muskegon area well, their recommendations for things to do and places to eat were spot on and their breakfast is memorable. Save time to relax on the second story sun porch. Simply awesome. Mike and Colleen Joliat 8/17

Our stay at the Port City Victorian Inn was a fabulous stay. We enjoyed the home relaxed feel, great conversation at breakfast and excellent breakfasts. Our hosts were very friendly and great to talk with about the history of the Victorian Inn. It was a like a trip back to the mid 1800's with conversation about the Muskegon area during that time period. We would definitely recommend a stay at the Victorian Inn.

The Port City Inn is a wonderful place to stay on the West side of beautiful Michigan. The Inn is a amazing Victorian mansion preserved with such care and attention to detail. The breakfast sunroom filled with natural sunlight was great place to start the day with a delicious breakfast! The breakfast cannot be missed: the first morning we had- omelettes, sausage, fruit, hashbrowns, fresh orange juice, toast; our second morning we were served waffles, eggs, strawberries, bacon, pineapple & banana compote topping, and fresh orange juice! We stayed in the Captain's Room that had a great sitting area, and a very nice patio overlooking the water- also a jacuzzi tub and fireplace! The Inn had plenty of parking and great access to downtown and a very nice paved bike trail. Fred and Barb are welcoming and go above and beyond to be sure all guests are comfortable. Fred and Barb are a wealth of information on the history and happenings around Muskegon. We had a great visit and felt very at home. We enjoyed our conversation with our hosts and look forward to visiting again!

Fred and Barb have wonderful hospitality. The B&B was so inviting and home like. The room was romantic, beautiful and clean. Enjoyed waking up to the water and boats out the window each morning. Breakfast was delicious and the fellowship around the table with the other guests was wonderful. Every little touch in decor helps add to the Victorian feel and beauty. We are so thankful we had the opportunity to spend our weekend away at this B&B. Also, the beach was a short drive and a beautiful board walk within 3 minutes walking; was able to watch a beautiful sunset. Thank you again for an amazing weekend!

Our fifth Wedding Anniversary stay was celebrated at the Port City Victorian Inn this past week. We received such a warm welcome from the inn keepers Barb and Fred . They both were outstanding hosts. Amazing beautiful unique antiques in a very comfortable atmosphere. The breakfasts were generous portions and accommodating to your dietary needs. Plenty of great places to dine, and awesome naval history to tour including a submarine. The Port City Victorian Inn is truly Muskegon Michigan GEM¿¿

What a delight it was for us to spend a few nights here a few weeks ago! Barbara and Fred were very warm and welcoming. We enjoyed the hospitality they have created in this Victorian inn. They have decorated it with beautiful antiques and memorabilia. Everything is spotless from top to bottom. Our breakfasts were delicious and so enjoyable shared with the other guests. This was the nicest B&B we have had the pleasure to stay at. I wish we had more time to spend in this little gem in Muskegon and will definitely stay here if we have the chance to visit again.

Fred and Barb have spared no expense in renovating and decorating this wonderful home, which was built by one of the founders of the city. They gladly share their knowledge of Michigan history and are absolutely delightful hosts.

We fell in love the Queen Anne room on our first visit and coming back felt like coming home , only better ! My husband is vegan and they made a special breakfast for us . Love their sweet puppies . Barb & Fred are helpful and interested in helping you get the most out of your time in Muskegon. The location could not be better minutes from Lake Michigan,downtown, and wonderful walking paths along Muskegon Lake .

Absolutely awesome experience. Nicest place I have ever stayed!
5 on July 03, 2016
My wife and I took a little weekend get away and had the good fortune to book a room at the Port City Victorian Inn. We stayed in the Captain's Suite and my wife and I could not have been more impressed! The inn keepers are some of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet and the Inn itself is an absolutely stunning Victorian mansion. Breakfast was excellent; they took great care to avoid certain foods with my wife's food allergy, and the food was delicious. We would stay here again in a heart beat!
5 on July 01, 2016
This was perfect for our little anniversary getaway. We had not complaints! The hosts were fabulous and we would go back in a heart beat!

I have been coming to Port City Inn every year for the last 22 years. As a director in the Miss America Organization I am in Muskegon each year in June for the Miss Michigan Pageant. This is always my first night stay and my favorite night of the entire week. Barb and Fred love this home and it shows in every detail. Highly recommended for any travel needs.
4.4 on June 30, 2016
The Port City Victorian Inn is a lovely B&B. We stayed in the Alexander Rodgers Suite, which was spacious and elegant. I especially liked the canopy bed. The decor throughout the house was historic and beautiful, and the hosts were knowledgeable and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and filling; Barbara was very considerate about my lactose intolerance. We enjoyed renting the bicycles they had and riding the lakeshore bike path. All in all, a very nice get-away.
5 on June 27, 2016
Fred and Barb have a lovely, historic home which they are gracious enough to share with others with their B&B. This was our first B&B experience and will not be our last. Fred is quite the historian and we looked forward to the morning history lessons. Barb is a gracious host and a great cook. We wish we could have stayed longer!!
4.6 on June 26, 2016
Darcy and I loved the room, with it's romantic bed and it's romantic shower/whirlpool; the hosts were very friendly and helpful, with knowledge of the history of the house and the area; the back porch offered a fantastic view of the moonrise, just as the front offered a nice view of the sunset; the location had nice places to walk to right from the room; we would do it again, and hope to get the opportunity one day.

My husband and I spent 2 nights in the captain's room. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire place, and the view of Lake Muskegon from the balcony. Barbara fixed two wonderful breakfasts while we were there. Loved all of the details in the historic home!

Where do I begin! Port City Victorian Bed and Breakfast is the most magnificent place I have ever stayed! You cross it's threshold and are transported back in time! I remember my first stay here years ago and I never tire of coming back! Fred and Barb are the most lovely Inn Keepers. They pride themselves on beautiful hospitality, cleanliness and making sure their guests feel at home. I have stayed at several B&B's which claim to be Victorian, then you sadly discover the inside is not up to par. NOT the case with Port City. The inn is everything you would dream a real, grand Victorian home would be! Barb has beautifully decorated each room with historical accuracy and the most charming of details. In fact, every time I visit I discover new antiques, art works, and furnishing that I had not noticed before. So if you want the greatest pancakes on the PLANET, a quite serene evening, gorgeous sunset view, and as close to a home away from home as you can get, stay at Port City Victorian Bed and Breakfast! You will not regret it. You will cherish the memory of your stay and want to come back as I do!
4.4 on August 11, 2015
Our stay was wonderful. It was quiet and relaxing. I enjoyed sitting on the patio in the morning. The food was good. Barb and Fred were charming. Fred recommended some great places for dinner. It was located in the center of everything we had planned. Would definitely recommend this to anyone traveling to Muskegon.
3.8 on May 24, 2015
This year will be our 3rd. Every time we stay, we are planning to come back before we even leave. Atmosphere is charming and the owners are very friendly and accommodating. The food is superb and rooms are very clean.

You can't help but be impressed with the splendor of this 137 year old home. The rooms are some of the nicest I have ever seen. I would go back there whenever I have to go through Muskegon.

Fred and Barb are great hosts.

Barbara and Fred are wonderful hosts. They really take the time to make you feel at home. The Port City Victorian is absolutely breathtaking. It is definatley a place we will be returning to. They take pride in there home and it shows. Barbara went above and beyond to help me make this weekend very special for my husband and I. We were there for our 10 year Anniversary and have so many new and wonderful memories that I can hold her accountable for. Again Barbara and Fred thank you from the bottom of our hearts Jim and Rachel Herwig So. Milw, WI

MF and I have just completed a two week trip around the upper midwest, including staying in seven different bed and breakfasts. The Port City Inn is among our top stays. Lovely old house, well-set-up room (rather dark walls, but that's part of the decor). We were greeted by two inquisitive and VERY small dogs (about as big as my shoe, but I wear size 18). They obediently pulled back on command, but not until my wife fell in love with them. Good night of sleep, fairly decent place to set up my laptop and check email, and they served us breakfast early because we had to leave to catch the ferry! Fred and Barb(?) were great hosts ... MF said she liked them the best of the various hosts we had. Perhaps the biggest drawback is that the handrail on the steps up to the second floor was rather low. Conclusion: if we come back to Muskegon we'll stay here again.

Best part of this B&B is it's proximity to the bicycle trail from downtown Muskegon to Pere Marquette park on Lake Michigan. The house is in great condition and immaculately decorated and kept, the Innkeepers were warm and welcoming with conversation and service. As a coffee snob I was let down at breakfast, but the juice was fantastic. Pancakes and bacon with some fruit so nothing fancy.
4.8 on August 13, 2014
This beautiful and spotless B&B has been fashioned with the comfort of guests first and foremost. We stayed in the Queen Anne's room which had a great view of Lake Muskegon as the sun rose and set each day, and we were impressed with the ability to completely control the temperature in our suite with just a touch of our handheld remote. Our bathroom was equipped with a two person bubble tub which was a great way to unwind after a day at the beach. We have stayed in several B&Bs before, but the maturity of this B&B is on display as soon as you enter the home in the multitude of beautiful antiques, Victorian décor, and the detailed history of this home originally built by one of the founding industrial fathers of Muskegon in 1877. Kudos to Fred & Barb who have meticulously preserved the history of this home for their guests and the City of Muskegon. A great front porch with a view of the lake and a second story deck both amply equipped with comfortable furniture and lots of flowers provide an excellent outdoor oasis to kick back & relax. The inn was full during our stay so our breakfasts were not as elaborate as what we were expecting, but as a parent of six children I completely understand meals of individuality cannot be produced for many people at the same time. Maybe next time, we will be back………..

The Port City Victorian Inn, bed and breakfast, was ornate... everywhere we looked in our room, in the parlors, in the dining rooms, there were figurines, floral arrangements, and furnishing to capture the eye and imagination of a bygone period. This is not a place for someone who would have problems with visual sensory over load. For it is amazingly well decorated throughout. We stayed in the Rose Room, it was most comfortable, and well appointed: from the wall coverings to the canopy over the bed. to the ornate lamps. The upper level deck at the rear of the building... WOW what a great gathering space, relaxing space, quiet space. The only draw back was that we had places to go to, people to see, while in the Muskegon area and did not spend enough time at the Inn. This Victorian Inn requires more time, in it, to really appreciate the treasure that it is.
5 on August 04, 2014
I stayed at the Port City Victorian Inn with my wife for our second anniversary and had a delightful time. Fred and Barb made us feel like we were part of the family. Breakfast was different each day, keeping our taste buds on their toes. The PCVI was a great respite between our antiquing or sunset trips to the beach. My wife and I are already planning out visit to the PCVI next year!
5 on July 30, 2014
My wife and I spent two nights here and were very happy with the accommodations and breakfast. Fred and Barbara (and their dogs) are great!

Recently my husband and I were looking for a place to stay in Muskegon as we were catching the Fast Ferry the following morning to Milwaukee. We were not going to arrive in Muskegon until almost 10 pm the night before, so we were undecided as to whether to spend the money to stay at Port City or opt for a less expensive place to stay. We chose to stay at Port City Victorian Inn and we are so glad we did. We cannot say enough about Barbara and Fred, the mansion and the rehab they very successfully tackled, the decor, the cleanliness and comfort, the food...everything was phenomenal! The attention to detail is unbelievable! The breakfast was perfect! We only just met Barbara and Fred and felt that we knew them for years. Over the last 20 years of travel we always try to stay at bed & breakfasts or historical inns. Port City Victorian Inn is our new favorite. As innkeepers ourselves, we know the hard work and passion Barbara and Fred have put in their bed & breakfast. This is a must stay if you have the opportunity! Gary & Susan, Lemont, Illinois
4.8 on July 07, 2014
We spent a long 4th of July weekend here, and had a fantastic time! We rode our bikes or walked to a number of events in the downtown Muskegon area. The Inn itself is beautiful, relaxing and spotlessly clean! Our room was comfortable and cozy, and the shower had excellent water pressure for luxurious showers. We had delicious, plentiful breakfasts all three mornings. The owners, Barb and Fred, are very friendly and hospitable and offered great suggestions on what to do in the area. I definitely would recommend Port City Victorian Inn for a romantic getaway!

Spent 2 nights at the Port City Victorian Inn in June/July, 2014. What a lovely home with views of the Muskegon Lake. We loved the easy access to the bike trail and downtown. The breakfasts were hearty & delicious. We hope to return in the future!
5 on June 24, 2014
My wife and I stayed here June 12-14. The Inn is beautifully restored and the Inn keepers are extremely hospitable. Our room was the Roger's room with its own jetted tub and lake view. The breakfast's were delicious, fresh fruit, thick french toast and excellent omelet. We enjoyed seeing Muskegon, the Silversides, area shopping and great restaurants. We highly recommend the Port City Inn and Barb and Fred.

They have a beautiful house. You won't be disappointed.
5 on May 07, 2014
Never having been to Muskegon and not sure what to expect regarding our B&B experience, we ended our stay more than satisfied with the experience. Barb (who, by the way, is a master in the kitchen) and Fred, the owners, are first rate people and the Inn is just outstanding. Would stay again and highly recommend it--Bob Cooper
3.4 on May 04, 2014
Driving up to the Port City Inn we weren't expecting much. The neighborhood you go through to get there is rather run down. On entering the house, however, one is pleasently surprised with the beautifully decorated foyer, dining room, sun porch and bedrooms, each with fireplace and private bath. Also spotless. Barb and Fred are gracious hosts without being invasive like some B&B's we've stayed in. Thought the room rates were a little high though. We could only stay one night. Breakfast was just ok. If they lowered their rates a little I would recommend a stay. We paid $200 a night with no hot tub. $175 a night we might want to come again.

Wonderful place to stay while visiting the Muskegon area.....Everything about the Inn and Barb and Fred were perfect. You feel like you have known them as friends for many years. The Inn is stunning! Garry and Valorie

My daughter and I stayed in Anastasia's Room while attending the Unity Christian Music Festival and loved it! Fred and Barbara were wonderful and gracious hosts! Visiting with the new resident puppies was definitely a bonus. We both truly enjoyed the back deck and look forward to visiting again in 2014!

My husband and I spent the weekend in the Captain's suite at the Port City Victorian Inn. My husband did the Luge and we attended the Party in Your Parka event at the Muskegon Sports Complex. It was so nice to come back to the warmth of the B&B including the easy to use gas fireplace in our room. Breakfast was at 9am and started with a beautiful yogurt parfait. When we checked in Barbara asked if we had any requests or preferences for breakfast and had noted my dietary restrictions that I added to our reservations. The decor at the B&B was so beautiful. There were so many details, but everything still felt fresh and uncluttered for the amount of decor. I would highly recommend spending your weekend in Muskegon at the Port City Victorian Inn.

My boyfriend and I were visiting from Florida. We had a great romantic night away at this cute and cozy B&B. We stayed in the Captain's Room which had a giant jacuzzi tub next to the bed and the warmest fire. The ambiance was just right, with the fire glowing in the background while enjoying champagne in the hot tub to warm up from the freezing temperatures outside. Our room had a fantastic view of the lake with a cute little porch. It also had a sitting room with a couch and bench for added comfort. The B&B is within miles of some fantastic restaurants. For dinner, we chose to go to Hearthstone, for its eclectic menu. Great food, great wine, great atmosphere. Barb and Fred were fantastic hosts! Breakfast was out of this world! Barb made fruit parfet, eggs, bacon, pancakes and home-made apple cinnamon pecan syrup. The syrup was truly delicious, I've never had anything like it. We enjoyed their company and chit chatted about the house's history and unique architecture. We had such a great time. If you're in the area, you should definitely stay at the Port City Victorian Inn! We will definitely come again.

Myself, my husband and our teenage granddaughter at Port City Victorian Inn in October 2013 for four days and we were delighted with the unique excellance of the rooms and attention to detail. We had travelled from England, stayed a short time in Texas and then travelled up to Michigan to visit friends. This home has been furnished with love and perceptionn by the wonderful Christian couple, who made this visit to Muskegon so unforgettable. The rooms were very clean, comfortable and welcoming. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for our hosts and the breakfasts were delicious, Barbara constantly endeavouring to see that our individual tastes were catered for. We would not even consider any other accommodation in Muskegon, if we were to visit again. We would have loved to stay for longer, it was so restful and we felt at home the whole time we were there.

We spent our honeymoon night there. The hosts were amazing and the home was gorgeous! Just the best!

We have stayed at other B&B - this one is outstanding
4.6 on September 17, 2013
What a wonderful inn! Fred and Barb covered all of the details and made our stay one to remember. We stayed one night but we wanted to stay another after we saw this beautiful home.
4.2 on September 10, 2013
We stayed in the Rose Room for two nights while visiting MI Adventures. This was a wonderful, interesting home. We loved our room! Felt like a home away from home. We had a wonderful breakfast both days. The owners were also very accommodating when I had roses delivered to the house for my husband for our anniversary and even helped keep it a surprise by putting them in our room while we were gone. If we visit MI Adventures in the future, we will be staying here
4.4 on September 05, 2013
Owners were great, very friendly, open and accommodating. Lots of history in the house. Would very much recommend!

The Port City Victorian Inn is a treasure and well worth the time and price. The rooms are historic,yet modern ammenities; the food is fantastic; the collective knowledge of the area bountiful; and the location idea for those exploring the under-advertised destinations in Muskegon.
5 on August 13, 2013
Barb and Fred were wonderful. Home is BEAUTIFUL and food was fantastic. Will stay again on our next trip to Muskegon - an amazing destination.
5 on August 05, 2013
We had a wonderful weekend in Muskegon. We were busy attending events at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp and picking up or daughter. Fred and Barb's B&B offered a close and convenient place to stay with all of the extra bells and whistles. We stayed in the Queen Anne room with its view of Muskegon lake. We enjoyed the biking path along the lake. Barb's restaurant recommendations were spot on and we also enjoyed the back deck for a game of scrabble and a glass of wine. We'll be back!
5 on August 04, 2013
Lovely hosts. Impressed by the cleanliness and attention to details (separate make-up towel, toothbrush holder, etc.). And it's nice to be staying in a neighborhood vs. in a commercial area like many hotels/motels are in. I would definitely stay there again.

We stayed 3 nights. The room was lovely. The house was super clean. Breakfast was scrumptious. Used their bikes for a ride on the bike trail along the lake. Water view. Muskegan beach was beautiful. Would definitely recommend this lovely B & B!

Amazing place to stay 2nd time we've visited. The innkeepers treat you just like family.. pleasant and helpful. would recommend it to individuals that want to get away and truely relax. Will definately visit again. ..
5 on August 01, 2013
My wife and I came here to celebrate our 1st anniversary, and had an outstanding time. Whether it was chatting over morning breakfast or on the back porch in the afternoon, Barb and Fred always made us feel welcome and treated us like family. I still can't get enough of Barb's fantastic cooking, even thinking about it now makes me want to book another trip to muskegon. Our first stay was on our honeymoon and we picked the same room for this stay, the Alexander Rodges Suite--it was just as imaculate as it was on our first stay! Had it not been for all the running around my wife and I had planned we could have easily spent the entire trip just lounging on the porch or in the sitting room. The bed in our room was very comfortable, and if the happy expressions on the other guest's faces at breakfast were any indication; the other rooms are just as wonderful! To anyone who is looking for a B&B to stay at in Muskegon; you can't go wrong with Port City Victorian Inn; luxurious comfort, wonderful food, and you are only a few minutes drive from downtown Muskegon! P.S. A big thank you to Fred and Barb for having a few extra bandaids for my blister worn feet, I really appreciated it! (and so did my feet!) Also a big thanks for suggesting the Hackley and Hume historical houses; they were amazing!

Fred and Barb operate a wonderful B & B. The Queen Anne room offered north and east views of Muskegon Lake as well as a double jacuzzi (very nice after a bike ride). Their home is conveniently located for Lake Express travelers. The second floor deck is quite nice and the food is very, very tasty.

Beautifully restored home in a great location. Close to beach, ferry and walling/bike path.

My daughter stayed there two nights while attending the Miss Michigan pagent. She had nothing but great things to say about the Inn and her stay. It was clean, luxuriously comfortable and wonderfully close to downtown. Her view of the gardens was wonderful. She felt like a princess and I knew she was safe and well taken care of.
5 on June 28, 2013
My Husband I went to this B & B because I had chose it years ago and needed a special occasion to stay. So our 25th anniversary came and away we went. Barb and Fred were great hosts. They gave us special attention but also gave us our free time. This was one of my favorite stays! They helped us find a Spa when our first choice called 2 hours before our appointment to cancel. We went to Salon 297 and had an excellent couples massage. Barb gave us a travel magazine of Muskegon and that was very helpful. And of course the food was excellent - that's the best part. We were able to visit with Barb and Fred and learned a lot about the house and town. They are well informed. And I loved it was a Christian based home. Thank you for opening it up for the public! Great place.
5 on June 24, 2013
Fred and Barb have owned this B & B for 20 years. It is a relaxing, clean, very well maintained, hospitable establishment. Owners take time to converse and answer questions. They are very knowledgeable about the region. We enjoyed the top floor veranda under a shaded pergola and plush cushioned outdoor furniture, relaxing in the jacuzzi, and the Queen Anne suite. Rooms are large and well appointed, a model Victorian showplace operated by caring, attention to detail hosts. There are many historical sights in the area. We also recommend Hearthstone restaurant.

We really emjoyed our time at the the Port City Victorian Inn. As I am allergic to cats and our friend we were visiting has 3, the inn was the perfect answer. Our hosts, Fred and Barb were gracios and shared breakfast and conversation with us. We took advantage of the glorious porch sitting in a nice breeze with our friend and sipping iced beverages. We had been many years ago but had forgotten which one we had visited. This time we took a card so we will remember for next time.

This was our first stay at a bed and breakfast. We were greeted warmly by Barb and Fred who own and operate this lovely B&B. They take great pride in their home and business. Our room was lovely. Softest ever robes, plush towels in a very tastefully decorated and clean room. The upstairs balcony was spacious and relaxing. We also enjoyed our breakfast and conversations with Fred and Barb. A delightful, relaxing, and romantic stay.

We were between business calls on our wedding anniversary. Barb arranged flowers and wine in the room and it was perfect. What a lovely, relaxing 24 hours between work. Dinner recommendations were right on, the room was so comfortable we slept as if we were in our own bed, and a delicious breakfast was waiting in the morning. Hope we're able to visit again soon!

Our stay was nothing short of abosultely amazing. The service and care was beyond any expectation, and the food was fantastic. the room was terrific, and the views were wonderful, our 1 year anniversary is unforgetable thanks to their wonderful care, establishment, and service. My wife and I have added them as one of our favorites places and will return again in the future. I have reccomended my boss and team members to book a visit with them.

Port City was clean, beautiful, cozy, peaceful.....outstanding. Barbara and Fred were gracious, helpful, and attentive. We were seeking a break from our busy, hectic work schedules and we certainly found relaxation in this hidden gem!

We stayed in the The Captain's Cabin Suite and we had an excellent night. The bed was huge and comfortable and the waterfall Jacuzzi tub was very relaxing. Barb and Fred were lovely company but they were also very respectful of our privacy. The whole house was very neat and clean with a nice "homey" vibe. We had an excellent experience at the Victorian Inn and we plan to stay again.

Port City Victorian Inn exceeded our expectations. The owners knew a lot of history about their town and next time we visit we will take time to tour some of the historic buildings they told us about. Our room was wonderful, which was the Captains room. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice weekend getaway or a romantic night.

What a marvelous stay we had in your fabulous Victorian mansion! Our room was so beautifully decorated in the Victorian period yet included the modern conveniences to which we are so accustomed. We loved walking through other rooms in the house and were amazed at how beautifully you had accomplished the decor in this manner. The breakfasts in the sunroom were delectable and so beautifully presented. We just wanted to linger and linger over coffee visiting with Fred and Barbara. Since we were both raised in the area we enjoyed reminiscent visits to familiar places and then appreciated come "home" to our relaxing stays at your wonderful Bed and Breakfast. Thank you!

My wife and I wanted to get away for the week end, and after searching the web, decided to travel to Muskeon, and stay at this B & B. Thank you Barb and Fred for making our stay a wonderful experience. From the super clean room with such high end amenities, to the beautiful outside gardens, to the delicious breakfasts, and the beautiful Victorian decor of this home, our stay could not have been more enjoyable and relaxing. We especially enjoyed the breakfast conversations with you and the other guests. This setting was just spot on. If we are ever in this area again, we will definately stay here again. Thanks for making this a special trip for us. Bob & Nan, Zionsville, In.

This place is very good and our stay was very much enjoyable and relaxing.I would definitely recommend their place. The owners are very friendly and the house is very nicely decorated.

My Wife & I stayed in the Captain's Cabin to celebrate our 4th Wedding Anniversary. The room was absolutely beautiful and the Jacuzzi tub was a real treat. Fred & Barb showed us around their incredible home and it's lovely gardens while sharing it's history and some personal stories with us. Barb is a wonderful cook and we looked forward to the treats she lovingly prepared for us each morning and for the conversation and fellowship we shared with them afterward. Thank you, Fred & Barb, for a wonderful stay! We left looking forward to our next stay at Port City Victorian Inn to visit with our new friends, the Schossaus. -- John & Amy (August 16-19, 2012)

The hosts Fred and Barb were most gracious. We were very late arriving because our ferry was delayed, but were welcomed with open arms. The room was very clean and well-appointed. The breakfast was fresh, homemade and delicious! I wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely come back again. Thank you!! -Pam and Trevor, FL

My husband and I had the privilege of staying at this beautiful B&B this past weekend while attending a nearby wedding. I highly recommend this Inn for anyone who's looking for a quiet, clean and beautiful B&B with wonderful hospitality and delicious breakfasts. We stayed in Anastasia's room and although it's the smallest, we managed quite nicely. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room very quiet at night - no one running down the halls, no doors slamming, no loud tv's from the next room. These are all things that one would have to put up with while staying in a hotel. Also, loved the beautiful window above the shower that let in the morning sunshine which brightened up the whole area. Barb and Fred made us feel at home, and their Yorkies, Sam and Oscar were a delight. We will definately return someday! Lynn & Ted

My boyfriend and I were in Muskegon for Bike Time so we didn't stay in the room that much. I would defiently go back to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of the outside deck and view of the lake. The Anastasia room is small but very cozy. The dual head shower was quite enjoyable.
5 on August 06, 2012
My husband and I had business in Muskegon and had to do an overnight stay. I went to the B&B website and found the Port City Victorian Inn. So glad we stayed there. The gardens are beautiful and the decor has a true victorian charm. Barb and Fred were great hosts and gave us some wonderful ideas of where to have dinner and attractions to see. We had a restful stay. Thanks again! The Sandquists

From the moment I first saw the picture of this quaint, picture perfect home, I knew it was a place I wanted to spend my wedding night and nights thereafter. Especially after seeing the breathtaking picture of the Alexander Rodgers Suite. All I could do was rave about how beautiful it was and show off to all my friends the awesome place we found through bedandbreakfast.com, and this was all before our stay even took place. Barb and Fred allowed us to check in early to accommodate the Bridal Party for pictures at the Port City Bed and Breakfast, which was such an awesome thing to do that they didn't have to do. They helped me out with allowing me to spread my wedding dress out in another suite while ours was being prepared. The room was clean, supplied with everything we could possibly need from shampoo to Q-tips, and had its own air conditioning unit, we could control. The first night we stayed was the most relaxing atmosphere I had been in for a long time! The sheets were soft and cool, the bed was soft and comforting! I felt at peace here. Barb and Fred were down to earth people, who truly wanted to share what they had. The deck out back was an oasis to us, for our reading in the shaded comfortable breeze. The breakfast is not overly fussy. Down to earth, delicious, and home style favorites! This place is more than just a bed and breakfast, its a home. A home that these wonderful people have invited us to share with them. Our only regret, is that we had to leave. We HIGHLY recommend this beautiful home in this beautiful town to make part of your memories, as they truly touched our hearts with the care and consideration Fred and Barb put into each day at the Port City Bed and Breakfast. We will defiantly be making this place our annual anniversary visit. Love, Keith & Marjorie Phipps

This is def an old school B&B. Lots of frills in the room, fake flower bouquets and lots of signs with do and don'ts. The room was big and clean but the bed sagged in the middle. The food was excellent. But I was surprised by the bill. The room rate quoted does not include taxes so expect to pay more. And we were asked for a $10 cash deposit for the key!
Innkeeper Response
By the description that this writer gives, he is referring to our 1911 Victorian bathroom in the Rose Room Suite that is totally original as it was first installed – you can say it is "Old School"! To the uninformed, as pertaining to collectable antiques in there pristine original condition, the fixtures in this 101 year old restroom is priceless! From the original mosaic tile floors and walls to the Kohler pedestal sink, stool, and original tub to the nickel plated water piping and fixtures, it is all original and in perfect running order. One would have to know the value of such things in order to really appreciate the rareness of such items. The Port City Victorian Inn was built some 137 years ago in 1877 and has been completely restored from the roof to the ground level which includes the entire infrastructure. All of our bedding in all five-rooms are in perfect condition as is noted in our room diaries and review comments on our web site. The fake flowers that you refer to are all silk arrangements. If you preferred, you could have requested that we charge your credit card for a dozen fresh-cut roses or an arrangement of fresh flowers added to your room…plus taxes, of course! And as for your comments that you were "surprised by the bill that it didn't include taxes", you shouldn't have been, because all of our room and pricing are shown on-line and it states "Plus Taxes"…taxes are always added on after you make your purchase. And as for the $10 deposit on the room-key, is because the keys are often lost and I have to hire a Locksmith to come and replace the key. All deposits are always returned when we get the key back.

Barb and Fred have a meticulously detailed Victorian Home and treat their guests like family. I can't think of a better place to stay in the Muskegon area. They are gracious and warm. They also have the cutest little dogs, Sam and Oscar - how can you NOT feel at home. I highly recommend the PCVI and I can't wait to return myself.

I stayed at the Port City Victorian a few weeks back for an impromptu visit to Muskegon, and our stay could not have been more enjoyable and special. Fred and Barbara were the most welcoming hosts, and, to my friend and I, were almost like an "Aunt and Uncle away from home." Our room was all ready for us the moment we arrived. Upon settling in, we were met with a charming room that still had a strong sense and character of a Victorian home guest bedroom. (Each room in the home is uniquely a different size, with a different story and different character to it.) Fred and Barbara knew that later that day, we would be returning at a rather late hour from an event that evening, and they were as accommodating as if my own family knew I was to arrive home at such an hour. In the morning, I was met by most wonderful breakfast company, a special social aspect about staying at this Inn. It was a neat experience sharing a meal with all who had stayed in the Inn that night, learning a little about each guest's travels. Barbara had prepared a delicious and healthy breakfast, with a plentiful hot tea collection to boot. After our breakfast, and a lovely table conversation regarding the Muskegon area and its history, Fred and Barbara graciously shared with my friend and I the details and history of the Victorian house itself. And a fascinating tale it was! Complete with pictures from the original construction, a photo album illustrated the home's story for us, decade by decade. As a final touch, Barbara set up the home's player piano to perform a delightful melody in the parlour, as she showed my friend and I the pieces, authentic to the 1800s, which remained in the home to this day. I couldn't have asked for more hospitality and friendliness. And the knowledge of the both the house and the Muskegon area transformed the stay into a most enriching experience. If I find myself in the area again, I certainly would love to return to the Inn for another stay.

We were so impressed with the Port City Inn in Muskegon. We stayed in the Queen Anne room. What made the stay so great was the attention to detail that Fred & Barb put into the Victorian inn. We got to see all the rooms & they were all unique and original. There's no doubt that our stay wouldn't of been as memorable if it hadn't of been for Barb & Fred. Chef Barb's breakfast was phenominal. Already planning next year's visit. Dan & Cheyne

The B&B is located very close to the Lake Express ferry dock, so it'd be a very convenient place to stay for visitors coming over from Milwaukee. Nice people and a very stay at the B&B.

We stayed at the Port City Inn this weekend and couldn't have been more pleased with our accommodations. Our room was the Captain's Quarters and I absolutely loved it. My boyfriend surprised me with the room and walking in and seeing a big jacuzzi and fireplace next to the big, inviting bed was more than I ever could have imagined. If you are visiting Muskegon or even just looking to escape, skip the generic hotel and indulge yourself in one of Fred and Barb's rooms at the Port City Victorian Inn. They have the perfect touch of historic rooms with all of the modern day amenities. Plus their hospitable personalities and easy-going nature made for a perfect stay. Breakfast was delicious and served over a homestyle atmosphere with the other guests. I highly recommend staying here. There was nothing I would have changed except maybe staying longer :) Thanks for your getaway, Fred & Barb! -Holly and Sean

The rooms were fantastic, and outstandingly clean! Wonderful, friendly host and hostess. Breakfasts were delicious. Barbara and Fred were a wealth of information for sightseeing ideas and dinner suggestions. Hugs to Oscar and Sampson (the Yorkies) ...they were very well behaved and fun to have around. Ellen & Chet

We really enjoyed celebrating our 10 year anniversary at Port City Victorian Inn. We loved our room, our bed and our jacuzzi. The food was delicious and different. The only reason I rated Cleanliness with 2 stars was because I there were quite a few cobwebs and spider strings throughout the home. It was nothing "gross" or "disgusting". My husband didn't even notice, but I did. We would definitely visit again and thoroughly enjoyed Barb & Fred.

The home contains the finest quality of furnishings and amenities. It is extremely clean, inviting, and comfortable in everyway. Barb's breakfast was one of the best we've ever enjoyed at a B&B. Fred and Barb are warm, friendly hosts who go out of their way to make sure your stay is a positive experience. I would highly recommend this B&B. Prepare to be pampered.
4.4 on September 22, 2011
We went for our honeymoon, and it was such a lovely visit. We got to stay in the room with the turn of the century bath fixtures, and highly recommend it. Just beautiful! Very comfortable, warm and inviting. We both love history, and felt as if we had stepped back in time.
3.6 on September 20, 2011
We were given this "outing" as a gift from our children. It was wonderful. We were the only guests on this Monday night, and it was very quiet and relaxing. One big plus for us, was that it was near Lake Michigan and we walked along the beach and channel that leads to Muskegon Lake. There are plenty of places to walk, plus a nearby bike path. The breakfast was not only delicious and healthy, but was served in a beautiful sunroom. If you are looking for a relaxing get-away, where you feel pampered, and you enjoy gorgeous Victorian furnishings, this is the place.

Our stay was great. Barb and Fred really made us feel like old friends. I had pretty high expectations ahead of our visit based on the website and previous stays at other B&B's. I was not disappointed. We stayed in the Alexander Rodgers Room, which we loved. The large whirlpool bath tub was very relaxing. And the breakfasts were delicious. Fresh fruit, juice, coffee and everything was fantastic. I would go back again and recommend it for sure.
3.4 on August 31, 2011
The house is charming and located in a nice and central part of town. The food was very good, the rooms charming, the proprietors helpful with info. about Muskegon-past and present.

We stayed here for one night during a week-long road trip around the Great Lakes. We stayed in several other bed and breakfasts during the week, and I think this was our favorite. The room was extremely clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. Also, the dual-head shower was an awesome bonus! Great place to stay, and we would definitely stay again if we were in the neighborhood.

Port City Victorian B&B was amazing. The innkeepers were really nice and helpful. The Inn was really clean and beatiful. The decoration is amazing. The breakfast Barb made was delicous. From the Inn i could see Muskegon lake, which was beatiful. The Lake Michigan beach was only a few miles away. In Muskegon people were really nice and made us feel welcome. I am staying in that Inn the next time I visit Muskegon and i recomend it to all those who are looking for a place to stay in Muskegon.
4.2 on July 30, 2011
We had a wonderful time during our stay at this B&B. The rooms are very clean and everything was in working order. The house is over 130 years old but you would never know it once your inside. It really does not have the appearance of being old and is almost like stepping back to when this classic house was new. The Inn faces the water and the view from the street is beautiful. We also trailered our motorcycle and their was ample parking for our car and trailer on the street in front of the Inn. The water view from the street in front of the Inn is very nice. I suggest dinner at Jacks on the beach where we enjoyed two superb sunsets. As for Fred and Barbara they are excellent hosts and we enjoyed talking to them during our breakfast. We plan to come to Muskegon next year for the motorcycle rally in July and will try to book early to stay at their B&B.

Thank you so much Barbara & Fred for everything. You made our pre-wedding organisation weekend and family gathering before the wedding absolutley wonderful!

We highly recommend the Port City Victorian Inn. The innkeepers are delightful and very attentative. The Inn is beautifully decorated and very clean. The covered back porch is a wonderful place to visit with friends or relax with a good book. Breakfast was delicious and Barb is very willing to accommodate any special dietary needs. Much nicer and better value than a hotel. We will definitely return to the Port City Victorian Inn the next time we travel to Muskegon!
4.4 on July 16, 2011
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The proprietors were friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely breakfast with waffles and bacon. It is a bit expensive for the area, but we truly loved this quiet getaway. While the area is quite industrial, the B&B is near the dunes, beautiful historic homes, the naval museum and near North Muskegon, which is very lovely.
4.0 on July 11, 2011
Very nice, clean rooms and friendly owners. My only regret is that I didn't have more time to spend at the B&B - we had too much other stuff going on in town. Beautiful front porch and a nice upper outdoor deck in back.
5 on June 28, 2011
We were very pleased with our stay at Port City Victorian Inn, everything was perfect! Barb and Fred were great hosts and took care of every detail for our accomodations in their beautiful home. Upon arrival Barb had maps and a booklet with Muskegon infomation for us as well as an excellent suggestion for dinner after a scenic drive. This B&B is in an excellent location with view of the lake and a marina, situated on a park like lot. We loved our stay with Barb and Fred in Muskegon and will be visiting again; we highly recommend Port City Victorian Inn.

A weekend at the Port City Victorian Inn was a surprise birthday present for me. The inn was breathtakingly beautiful. The rooms were immaculate. The innkeepers, Fred and Barbara, were very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend the Port City Victorian Inn. It's the perfect place for a romantic getaway.

The right hosts are the key to a B&B stay, and this Inn has the right hosts!

The Port City Victorian Inn Bed & Breakfast is a beautiful treasure. The rooms and the common sitting areas are very nice and comfortable. The room amenities are wonderful and the bathrooms and tubs are incredible. The innkeepers are very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended. If we return to West Michigan we'll stay again and maybe try the Captain's Cabin Suite.
5 on May 01, 2011
The ambiance and furnishing are incredible. The hospitality and cooking are superb. I had an unplanned weekend in Western Michigan and stayed at the Port City Victorian Inn - more or less by random - and I was very glad I did. I highly recommend the Port City Victorian Inn to any business traveler (like me), who is looking for a refreshing change of scene from the cookie-cutter hotels OR to anyone looking for a quaint relaxing getaway for a battery recharge. Make sure that you ask for the business rate and ask if the homemade Apple Strudel will be on the breakfast menu!! Victor

My hubby & I were looking for a relaxing place to reconnect. The Alexander Rovers room was exquisite. It wasso beautiful, clean, top notch. We felt like royalty. The whirlpool tub, bedding, sitting area and views were perfect. Thank you Barb and Fred for the yummy breakfast, coversation, history and stay! We promise to spread the word and to return!
5 on February 28, 2011
We had never stayed at a B&B before, so we were a little worried it wouldn't hold up to the pictures. Once we got there, everything turned out much better than expected! We stayed in the Captain's Cabin, and if we go back we're getting the same room. The jacuzzi is amazing, and the hospitality can't be beat! I can't say enough good things about this place.
5 on February 23, 2011
We appreciated our stay very much at Barb`s and Fred´s B&B. They do a wonderful job. The room was very cosy (although they look bigger on the Internet) and very clean. The breakfast was delicious and Barb&Fred are very lovely. We could tell they both have this business because they are innkeepers from the heart. They love people! The prices are ambitious but the service, cleanness and ambiance justify it entirely. We perfectly recommend it for a wonderful get-away. The landscape of Muskegon is amazing. Great state parks and incredible public beaches where you can walk for miles. We just loved our entire trip. Birgit&Andy
4.8 on January 17, 2011
Very nice place to stay.They have done a great job at converting this home to a bed and breakfast. Fred and Barb are very nice people,very knowledgeable about the home and the surrounding area. We stayed four nights and you could very well tell they enjoy what they do. The home is decorated beautifully.
5 on January 02, 2011
We visited the Port City Victorian Inn for a new year's weekend getaway, and we couldn't have been happier. The inn is beautiful and well decorated with period furnishings, but also has the modern appointments like jacuzzi tubs and wireless internet. Fred and Barb were wonderful hosts and always a pleasure to talk to; and breakfast was delicious and something to look forward to each morning. You can tell they take great pride in having satisfied guests. Also, it's worth mentioning that despite the wintry weather, Muskegon offers some nice attractions year round...great restaurants, a fantastic winter sports complex, terrific lakeshore scenery. This was our first B&B experience, and we'll definitely be back again. Thanks!

Beautiful B&B in a nice residential location. Well kept up and the hosts were very friendly and interesting. Each room has its own special flavor. The room we were in had a beautiful view and we slept very very well. I would highly recommend this Bed & Breakfast.
5 on December 05, 2010
We do not live very far from Muskegon. We made plans for the day which included staying at a Bed and Breakfast as opposed to staying at a motel. We had a very relaxing experience. We both love antiques and compliment Fred and Barbara on their beautifully decorated victorian home. Breakfast was fantastic and the conversation was awesome. We would highly recommend staying here and hope to return someday.

Outstanding does not describe this B&B enough! Warm and inviting from the begining to the end. The home is full of history and views. Breakfast was a delight. can't wait to return. CCK&DEZ

Hello everyone, Staying at the Port City Victorian Inn was a real treat. Barb & Fred were wonderful hosts - warm, friendly, & informative. We stayed in the Queen Ann Room and would highly recommend it. Everything was exquisite! We felt completely relaxed, comfortable, and at ease and enjoyed every minute. Breakfast was very good, although I would have gone for stronger/starbuck like coffee. In this economy it's not an easy choice to splurge on a beautiful B&B, but we're glad we did - it was worth it.
4.4 on October 03, 2010
We stayed in the Queen Anne Suite in mid-September. The room was beautiful, as was the entire facility. The breakfasts were wonderful. The proprietors are friendly and helpful. They offer many historical details about the house and the surrounding city.
4.6 on September 01, 2010
This was our first time at a B & B and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Barb and Fred are very nice, the place is so pristine and they out in a LOT of work in to making it perfect. The bed was comfortable (we stayed at the Rose room), the decor was tasteful, the bathroom was original to 1911 (even the shower head) and breakfast is not served too early but at a time that was very convenient for us (9 am). I highly recommend this place.
4.8 on August 27, 2010
This was my second time at PCVI. Barb and Fred are great! The Inn is beautiful and meticulously decorated and cared for! The rooms fabulous! The breakfasts delicious! What more can I say? Do NOT waste your money on hotels or motels. Port City Victorian Inn offers comfort and hospitality that you will not find elsewhere. Can't wait for my next visit...
4.6 on August 11, 2010
Exquisitely preserved in minute detail with popular modern features: spa tubs, individual room A/C-heat, flatscreen TVs with cable and DVD, 4-star bedding! Leave time in your travels to enjoy your bedroom, the house's sitting rooms, patios, grounds, and ambience. Barb will guide you to Muskegon's sites of choice with some bargains to boot. Fred is always up for a lively conversation. They were especially accomodating to our last minute changes in plans; certainly will facilitate any guests travel needs.
5 on August 03, 2010
Our room was spacious since it was really two rooms and was light and bright. We enjoyed having a balcony with a view of Lake Michigan. Our bed was very comforable Fred and Barbara were warm, friendly and helpful about area attractions. Breakfast every morning was something different and always delicious. Loved all the gardens and the front porch to watch sunsets. If we go to Muskegan again, we would definitely stay there again.
4.8 on August 02, 2010
We have been to other B&B's in the past, but this was the most beautiful and the most memorable. Mainly it was the company and conversation with both of you, Barb and Fred, and the other guests, especially at the breakfast table that was so enjoyable. The bonus was the "homey- comfortable" atmosphere and our beautifully decorated surroundings. You're definitely on the "recommendation - list". Paul and Carol

My husband and I recently took a weekend vacation on our bicycles in Muskegon. We stummbled upon the Port City Victorian Inn. The most welcoming B&B we have ever stayed in! We were lucky enough to snag the Captain's Room. The room (and the ENTIRE house) was so beautifully decorated and the resoration that Fred and Barb did with this house really brought the history of the house alive again, but it still had all of the modern convienences. Fred and Barn are very welcoming and you can really feel the love that they put into the Victorian Inn. If you are a history buff (or even if you are not) you will thoroughly enjoy learning the history. The breakfast in the morning is awesome also. Great conversations between other guests and with Barb and Fred. If you are visiting in this area- THE PORT CITY VICTORIAN INN IS THE PLACE TO STAY!!!!!

We have only stayed in one other B&B in the past and we were very, very pleased with it. However, this one is by far exceptional even in comparison with the other, which bosted of an association with Abraham Lincoln. I guess I am just lucky, or can really pick them. Whatever the reason, I consider myself fortunate to have had the experience to sleep here.

We spent three wonderful days at the Port City Inn and can not say enough good things about it. The Inn is beautiful and our room, the Captains Quarters was spectacular. It had an in room hot tub, flat screen tv, and a little porch. The owners were very kind, made a wonderful breakfast, and were helpful in terms of things to do in the area. We had a great experience and plenty of privacy. Highly recommended.

This will definitely be a weekend to remember. Fred and Barb were wonderful-very hospitable. They made us feel welcome and right at home. The rooms are exquisite and the surrounding beaches are breathtaking. Between the sparkling waters, gorgeous sunsets, and Barb's delicious cooking, it was quite difficult for us to leave. We cannot wait to come back and experience everything Muskegon has to offer in the winter months.

Recently visiting the west side of the state, we happened upon this delightful B&B. It is the experience that we have shared with many friends. Our room was more than we expected and the bed very cozy. Our breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented. Fred and Barb are wonderful Inn Keepers, their hospitality and kindness speak volumes about their award winning inn. Romeo, Michigan

We visited Port City Inn for our 25th anniversary. We enjoyed hearing about the history fo the home, tastefully and artfully decorated rooms. Barb and Fred enjoy what they do and it shows. They were also able to accomodate our special dietary needs. I felt like a queen!

We had a great weekend XC skiing at the winter sports complex at Muskegon State Park. But the highlight of the weekend was retreating to the Port City Victorian Inn. This is a great B&B. Wonderful, comfortable beds in large, well-appointed rooms. Nice, updated bathrooms (ours had a whirlpool tub!). The bathrobes were a very nice touch. The home is beautiful and the breakfast was great. Our hosts were friendly and helpful with our weekend plans. Overall, a great B&B and agreat weekend.

For the past 30 years we have been spending our anniversaries at various B&B Inns in Michigan. Port City rates as one of the very best. Everything was top notch. Good breakfast, lovely grounds,and very clean and comfortable.
4.8 on July 15, 2009
I arrived mid May with no reservation, on a motorcycle, having missed the CAT Ferry. I was made most welcome and when I saw the room I was overwhelmed! My only wishes were that I could have stayed longer and that my wife had been with me. Very period, but with all the modern amenities. I have never stayed in a B&B which I would recommend more positively. Absolutely perfect place to stay!! Bruce Steele Riverview, NB, Canada

We were welcomed at the door by the owners, Barbara and Fred, and our luggage was carried to the room for us! My wife and I were in the "Rose Room" where we had a HD TV, a fire place, and a private 1877 original bathroom that was just fabulous! Breakfast in bed was just a special treat and unbelievable delicious. You all have to come and experience this B & B for yourselves! We will return…

We stayed in the Captain's Quarters the first 2 nights after the wedding. It was simply wonderful. The room is spacious with a jacuzzi and private balcony. Breakfast is absolutely delicious. We plan to return for special anniversaries.

We had a number of special circumstances occur prior to our arrival. Each fully accomodated. This was a beautiful home, with awesome accomodations and excellent staff

"And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that he would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt his existence." Bertrand Russell
"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours" Richard Dawkins
I was thinking about the qualities God must have. The Abrahamic god that is, with his omnipotence and omniscience. What must it be like to govern all of creation, and yet be concerned with life forms on this planet? To the amoeba, we are god like beings. Imagine how they would regard our cities and vehicles, not to mention the vast oceans. Yet do we regard them at all when going about our daily activities? When driving to work? When building a new city, or destroying an existing one? Does the soldier consider amoeba's when fighting for his life, or the business man when structuring a new deal? Of course they don't. To believe otherwise is ridiculous.
In the unending expanse of space and time, do we appear, to the one being who created it all, as anything more than the lowly amoeba; swimming about and mating in our pool of slime? Surely there must be life on other planets, as the building blocks of life are commonplace in the universe. Is there any difference in how we accommodate the paramecium and the amoeba in our mundane lives? Of course not, but how godlike and eternal we must appear to them!
Consider the vastness of space and the ongoing cycle of creation and death and the being we call God that presides over it all. The universe is expanding at such a rate that we will never see the light from stars forming on its outer edges. The Universe will cool and, essentially die, before the light ever reaches us. Is the God being aware of itself in the same way we are, or is it a kind of "hyper awareness"? Does it know it is omniscient and omnipotent, or is it merely going about its duty, completing the tasks for which it exists to complete?
Try to imagine the God being as an entity who observes; an entity which can begin an event like the big bang and see it through to the creation of a place like Earth; a being that effortlessly glides over the whole of the vast universe in observance of all, yet still concerned with micro managing the miniscule activities of life forms on Earth.
How would the reverence of the amoeba and paramecium affect our ability to build and advance? Would their devotion and love change the mind of a developer intent on turning their slime home into a landfill? Would they thank the developer afterwards for punishing their ill behavior? The answer, of course, is most definitely not! It's silly to think otherwise.
We are but one incarnation of life's process. If we are destroyed, by whatever method, life will continue, If not here then on another planet in this star system or another; possibly in another form, another incarnation of the amazing process of life. If the amoeba dies, life here will also continue, although its death would disrupt an ecosystem, life would continue… for a time at least. Even if they did die and the rest of life followed, that doesn't mean they don't exist elsewhere in this expansive universe in the same or another form. The point is, life equals more than life on Earth. Life is the result of processes allowed to work their magic in ideal settings.
Does the God being know he is a god in the sense that we think of god or gods? Is he aware of a duty to create? Do thoughts like "I am a god and must create" betray a sense of pointless ego? What is ego really unless there is someone to admire you, Or rather someone to compete with you? Does the powerful man's ego depend on the look of admiration from the destitute man? No it doesn't. Only his success and standing among his equals, and peers will effect his ego. Are there other God beings to justify this sense of ego? Jealousy and ego, in my opinion are not two of humanities best attributes, so it seems a bit trite for a God being to possess them as well.
We believe in ourselves. We believe we can do something, or we believe we can overcome apparent insurmountable odds. In the absence of possible failure, "belief" becomes "know"! Does the mathematician believe he can solve the mathematics of String Theory or does he know it? Does the same mathematician know or believe he can solve 2+2? He believes the first one and knows the second one of course. It all depends on the existence of possible failure.
So would the God being believe in himself? Does he know he is a God? If he believes IN himself, then that assumes the possibility of failure when it comes to his duty. Would "God" be a state of existence acknowledgeable to a being that is the only of its kind? It would be just as ego driven and borderline psychotic as the man who fancies himself a god due to his indomitable strength and power over the amoeba!
Atheism is simply the lack of belief in god or gods. It is within this definition that I claim God to be an atheist. If the major religions are correct and he is the only one then he obviously can't believe in other gods, even if he wanted to. If he is the only god ,solitary and wandering the heavens, and believes in himself then that assumes failure, so it's highly improbable that he believes in himself. Therefore it is logical to assume that..
God is an atheist.

Rising steadily and triumphantly from the ashes, Argentina has proven as colorful, passionate, and enduring as the phoenix. To be sure, the Argentinean appeal – natural wonders alongside a vibrant and eclectic culture – has lured both visitors and immigrants for centuries, but since the country's financial disaster in 2001, Argentina has another irresistible weapon to add to its arsenal: it's cheap. Its capital city is the child of such stock – European by nature and Latin by nurture, what results is a savory mezcla of the two worlds that pulses with energy through the night: Boho-chic on a budget, if you will.
Artists, writers, musicians, and dancers have flocked to Buenos Aires to take part in the dynamic cultural scene and cafés, bistros, and bars have sprung up under every Jacaranda-adorned veranda. If you're in the city during its winter months (July-August), make sure to attend La Rural in Palermo, the enormously popular, annual agricultural fair, where you'll meet the sleekest, fattiest, and prettiest of cattle, among other livestock. You will eat – and you will eat well – while in this fair country: the BBQ is succulent, varied, cheap, and abundant and the empanadas are hot pockets of flavor.
And as for drink? Just head to Mendoza, the more exotic and less pretentious Napa-Sonoma of South America. You can bike from vineyard to vineyard, tasting top-notch wines at affordable prices, and horseback across the Andes. There, you can attempt to summit the formidable Cerro Aconagua, the highest peak on the American continent. Visit the breathtaking waterfalls of Iguazu, the swampy Esteros del Ibera teeming with diversity, and the Perito Moreno glacer in Patagonia, the southernmost end of South America, where the wind is frosty, the ice crystal, and the end of the world just a boat ride away.

Johnny Manziel will be the biggest draft story around the country Friday morning because he's Johnny Manziel. But two other teams made similarly transformative moves to take their quarterbacks of the future Thursday night.
The Jacksonville Jaguars' new regime will rise and fall on the shoulders of Blake Bortles. In all the countless hours of pre-draft buzz and speculation, no one said a word about Bortles staying in Florida. Just three years removed from the Blaine Gabbert debacle, the Jaguars are going to ask another raw talent to carry an offensive roster that is still missing a lot of pieces. We have more faith in the Jaguars coaching staff this time around -- especially coach Gus Bradley -- to support Bortles with a strong defense.
The Minnesota Vikings didn't have to take such a big gamble. After getting thwarted in a bid to trade up for Johnny Manziel, the Vikings moved up eight spots to end the first round with Teddy Bridgewater. All they had to give up was a fourth-round pick. Unlike Bortles, Bridgewater will have some interesting pieces around him if he plays as a rookie. Adrian Peterson, Cordarrelle Patterson, Greg Jennings and Kyle Rudolph is a nice collection of skill-position talent.
Perhaps the Vikings settled and should have just taken Manziel in the top 10. But we expect them to get outstanding value out of Bridgewater in that spot. Among all the rookie quarterbacks, he had the traits that so often carry over in the pros. He's accurate, reads defenses well and has excellent pocket movement when pressure is around him. There will be less of a media cry to start Bridgewater right away because he was taken so low; Bortles won't have the same luxury.
The drumbeat for Bridgewater, however, will start eventually. It does for all first-round quarterbacks. These are the picks that get general managers new contracts or gets them fired.
Here's what else we learned Thursday:
2. Speaking of putting careers on the line: Buffalo general manager Doug Whaley needs wide receiver Sammy Watkins to be special. The Bills gave up their first- and fourth-round picks of next year's draft to move up five spots and get the deep threat. EJ Manuel has a surplus of weapons around him now, but we're not convinced he's the guy to deliver.
3. Don't be surprised to see Stevie Johnson on the trade block now that Watkins is in Buffalo. That's a crowded, young receiver group.
4. The Vikings traded up to get Bridgewater, in part, because Houston was waiting at the top of Round 2. The Texans reportedly are interested in dealing for Ryan Mallett. We won't have to wait long to find out their quarterback plans Friday. If they pass on quarterback again, there's a good chance Mallett will be headed to Houston.
5. The Rams were lying behind the scenes about Johnny Manziel all along. It doesn't matter how much they liked Aaron Donald -- we like him too -- they would have taken Manziel at No. 13 if they truly had any interest. St. Louis had a lot of media folks believing they were in on Manziel, but it was a smokescreen all along. They passed on him twice. And no one wanted Manziel enough near the top of the draft to give up much for him.
6. With that said, we love what the Rams did. Greg Robinson can transform their running game. Donald gives the Rams a ridiculous defensive line with Robert Quinn, Chris Long, Michael Brockers and Donald. The NFC West is scary. Sam Bradford is getting at least one more real chance to prove why he was a No. 1 pick.
7. Browns coach Mike Pettine said he hasn't changed his plan to not start a rookie quarterback this season. Good luck with that, Brian Hoyer.
8. One team that wasn't sending out smokescreens: Arizona. They had a chance to draft Manziel and they passed. They had a chance to take Bridgewater at No. 27 after trading down, and they passed. It's Carson Palmer's world, and it's an impressive looking secondary in Arizona after they added underrated hitter Deone Bucannon.
9. The Saints haven't had the best history drafting wide receivers high under Sean Payton. They took the plunge again with Brandin Cooks. He essentially replaces Darren Sproles as a new "space" player for whom Payton can cook up plays. New Orleans needs to find some young core offensive pieces, so Cooks will be under pressure to perform right away.
10. My favorite moment of the draft: When the Cowboys were on the clock with Johnny Manziel available. As Manziel said, I don't think the world was ready for that one.
This was a great night for people who root against mock drafts. It was a reminder that we usually know nothing heading into the first round. It is the kind of night that keeps us coming back, powerless to understand why we are so transfixed by a man reading names off notecards.

L.A. Reid Insists Britney Spears Would Win 'X Factor'
Excuse us for a moment while we twirl our shirts above our head, because finally, FINALLY, someone understands our love for Britney Spears. L.A. Reid, you are a wise, wise man.
The 'X Factor' judge was spotted at a New York airport recently and a paparazzo for TMZ asked him how fellow judge Britney would have done had she been a contestant on the show. His response? ""If I was a judge … she would have won."
Can we get an amen and thank you Jeeeeesus!?
On the other hand, other 'X Factor' judge Simon Cowell is supposedly concerned about Brit since she started on the show, often checking in with the show officials to see how she's doing after she had some iffy moments, including abruptly leaving during auditions.
"It's embarrassing to have an empty seat on the panel in filming sessions, as the footage is almost totally wasted," said a source to The Mirror UK. "If a great singer appears, and producers want to use the audition, you have to tell viewers why Britney wasn't there."
Queen Britney's manager, the great and powerful Larry Rudolph, came to the her defense, though, saying, "Every time Britney stands up or wants to go to the bathroom she gets accused of walking off. Everything is fine. Britney loves being on 'X Factor.'"
We're pretty sure our girl Brit is doing just fine!

Romanticism aside, I'm trying to learn from (acousitc) guitar videos I find online - especially YouTube. If you know of any you like, please put them in here. (No electric, please! :P)
The one I put below is a video I really like. The guy played Jason Mraz's "Better" beautifully.
How lovely is that?

However, in 1989, the NCAA Tournament field was not the same as it is today. When the Rebels earned their first invitation, the NCAA only selected 16 teams to compete in the prestigious NCAA Championships.
"The road to the NCAAs was an exciting journey," said Ole Miss coach Billy Chadwick. "Week after week this team put forth great effort. Anytime you beat the likes of SMU, Pepperdine and Clemson, you have had a great year."
A great year by the Rebels indeed. As a result of the successful season, the Rebels also became the first Ole Miss men's tennis team ever to finish the season nationally ranked (No. 15). The Rebels fell to Miami in the first round of the NCAA Championships, ending the season with a 17-10 record and the No. 15 national ranking.
In addition to Randall, the Rebels were paced by sophomores Keith Evans, Jamie Booras and freshman Mike Knowles. Evans reached the finals at No. 2 singles at the SEC Tournament and was a member of the All-SEC team. Booras and Knowles reached the SEC Tournament finals at No. 2 doubles, while Booras teamed with Randall for the duo's second NCAA doubles appearance. Randall capped the year by winning the prestigious Rafael Osuna National Sportsmanship Award, presented to the most outstanding collegiate tennis player that demonstrates both great skill and exemplifies sportsmanship.
Stay tuned next week for Nos.30, 29 and 28.

Lennon furious at set-piece tussles
Neil Lennon blasted Spanish referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco after Celtic were left needing a Champions League "miracle" following their 3-0 defeat by Juventus at Parkhead.
Goals from Alessandro Matri, Claudio Marchisio and Mirko Vucinic all but ended the Hoops' European hopes in the first leg of their last-16 tie. However, the Celtic boss was raging with the referee and his officials for their reluctance to punish the Juventus players for what at times resembled a wrestling match in the visitors' box.
The Northern Irishman said: "I would like to ask the Italian journalists what they made of the way Juventus marked our players. It looked to me as if they were fouling at every opportunity. The referee was warned by our players to keep an eye on it but he ignored our requests time and again."
He added: "We were getting hauled back and the referee is looking straight at it. Are the rules different in Spain and Italy to what they are in Britain? On that showing they must be.
"We played Juventus in 2001 here and (Paolo) Montero was marking Chris Sutton and the referee warned him, but he persisted with it and he gave a penalty and we went on to win 4-3, so what is the difference? What is the Spanish referee's interpretation of that?
"I pointed it out to the referee at half-time but he waved me away. I made it clear to the players to flag it up and they did.
"It is not rugby they are playing, it is soccer. There is a way to defend and we do it as fairly as possible."
Lennon, though, was reluctant to admit he made a mistake by playing Efe Ambrose, who had featured for Nigeria in their 1-0 African Nations Cup final win over Burkina Faso on Sunday and did not arrive back in Glasgow until Tuesday.
Lennon said: "He was caught for the first goal but it was nothing to do with tiredness and I felt once he got over that he was fine. There was no sign of tiredness when he goes in and should score with a header, that is down to a bad miss .
"You always ask questions in hindsight and maybe it was a bit of gamble, but I can't really criticise the team apart from the final bit of quality to get us a goal."
