With the five year anniversary of the Nordic Pineapple soon approaching, we thought we'd share some of the things that were important to us when we started this Inn and are still important to us today!
Let's face it, Valentine's Day can be a bit of a challenge if you haven't picked out something special for your sweetheart. Finding the perfect gift can be stressful, but in our opinion, Valentine's Day is a time to stick with the classics. When you're visiting our little town of St. Johns, these are some of the best gift ideas you will find!
We're so excited about the new things we will be offering this year, that we couldn't wait to share them! We have been hard at work (with still some left to go), getting ready to delight our friends and guests in the new year.
At the Nordic Pineapple, we are all about "the Experience."
What happens at the Nordic Pineapple for Christmas?
When it comes to Christmas decorating, the Nordic Pineapple takes it to another level. We have eleven trees to decorate, four mantles, the stairs to the second floor and what we call a Gnome Overload.
If you've ever seen photos of the beautiful dishes we've posted on social media and wondered how Chef Greg creates such delectable breakfast choices? Or have you stayed with us before and loved the breakfast so much, you aspired to prepare some yourself when you got home? Now's your chance as Chef Greg shares some of his favorite recipes!

Our little town of St. Johns, Michigan has a great selection of trails and parks. Whether you're looking for a cool morning walk, a summer time swim or a chance to lace up your ice skates, the Mint City won't ...
It's a little unusual for Innkeeper's to have a 1700 square foot living space inside of their bed and breakfast. Most innkeepers might essentially live in guest quarters with their kitchen and living spaces as part of the inn. That is not the case for Kjersten and Greg.
There's always something to do in our great city of St Johns and you can learn more about all of them by visiting our Things to Do page. When it comes to events, our local festivals are some of the best around. These are just some of the great events you can ...

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:)
It could be argued that central Michigan has become the best golf destination in Michigan in recent years with some great new golf courses and several classics. Connecting it all is highway 127, just a duck hook away from our Inn.

I mean is there really even a debate? My kids might think so, they love a good hotel pool. Me on the other hand, never. I would rather stay at a Bed and Breakfast before a hotel any day.
Here's why. First and foremost it's the food. The gourmet breakfast is the way to my heart. The Nordic Pineapple prepares from scratch some really delicious offerings...
I think St. Johns has been moving in a forward direction for a few years now. By forward, I mean it's a place where people not only want to live, but want to stay and play too. There's been a shift in the mind set that in order to be entertained we have to go to Lansing or Grand Rapids. Don't get me wrong, I love these places too, but it's...
