This tasteful bed and breakfast was a delightful place to stay in downtown Grand Rapids!…read more We ran a bit late so the owners called to check on us, which was appreciated. Once we arrived it was easy to call the listed number and get let in, which happened quickly despite our being after the agreed upon arrival time. Skylar then showed us around and left us to enjoy the room. She had their two children with them which was fun and gave the space more of the local family feel. We didn't hear them during the rest of our stay so no worries about late night cries etc. The house is beautiful and our room had a private bath with a huge jacuzzi tub. There was a window ac unit as well as a fan so we stayed comfy at night and even outside fireworks weren't too noticeable. We were a handy 10 minute walk to a multitude of restaurants and cute parks plus the river walk. There was also a parking spot at the house so we could leave the car and not worry as we walked in the city. The breakfast was especially tasty and Skylar made extra effort to accommodate our dietary needs by making something totally different for me (veggie hash with toast and yogurt all vegan). The fruit, juice and coffee for all were tastefully laid out and made for a refreshing breakfast experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would stay here again!

Just returned from a wonderful stay at The Lafayette House in Grand Rapids. My daughter and I were…read morein town to attend a concert at the Van Andel Arena. Did I mention it is WALKING DISTANCE to the Van Andel??!! Note the walk back is gradually uphill. A couple that we spoke with during breakfast mentioned they also walked back. The husband said he has a bad knee and felt it a little bit on the return but would definitely do it again. Todd and Skyelar's home is beautiful and bright. We stayed in Room 2 which is also bright yet cozy at the same time. Our room had a Keurig coffee maker which was great! I will just have to remember to bring some tea with us next time as we love our tea. I didn't think to ask for any so I can't fault anyone but myself! The bath products are provided and smell amazing! I actually wrote the name of the brand down as I am going to order some for home. We really appreciated having an extra power strip in the room. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious with local products. Cinnamon raisin bread French toast, bacon that was perfectly prepared, fresh fruit, orange juice and hot coffee. I look forward to returning to The Lafayette House!

Sooney, the owner, and her family live in an attached house and are very friendly and accommodating. There's a pool and jacuzzi next to the house, and 2 fire pits for warmth and s'mores.

They've had a lot of cyclists stay with them, though I was likely wetter and muddier than their usual client. Fortunately I was the only guest that night (I just missed a family with seven children), so I took over the upstairs bathroom to wash and dry myself and my gear. Sure, a hotel room would also have served, but I felt so much cheerier in a cozy, friendly home after that long day. They are very nice and down-to-earth folks. They'll have breakfast ready when you want it (just tell her the night before) and will have you feeling like you're part of their family. During breakfast I learned about what several of their 19 grandchildren are up to, and a visiting great-granddaughter joined us too. This place is an incredible value at $60.00 per night, and I will definitely stay there again if I'm in the area. Note: This is their home, so don't expect it to be like a hotel. I don't think they have wifi, and only one bedroom has a TV. Spend some time sharing stories with them instead. Note 2: Call at least a day ahead to be sure they have a room available for you. They are often unable to accommodate drop-ins.

At $60 a night its a fantastic deal, and if you're lucky Grandma will make French toast on the same thick, sesame seed bread as she did for me. Keep in mind the owners actually live in the house unlike many B&B's, but in my opinion this was not a problem as they were friendly and welcoming but not bothersome. Cozy, clean, and a great deal. Thumbs up!!

These traditional pictures should have a Spanish/European look so I needed a place with these elements. I looked at so many venues and this was the closest one to us. The mansion is located in Battle Creek surrounded by small town farm land. You'd never know this truly hidden gem exists among all the corn fields haha The entrance is surrounded by beautiful cascading trees and lighting. The home itself is decorated with vines and hydrangeas all over. This is just the entrance! Once you see the gardens in the back, wow it's pretty breathtaking. This is a perfect venue for weddings, engagement, or any kind of photo shoot really. Our session was pricey but it's worth having these beautiful photos for life!

The view from any room is pleasing, the rooms are well furnished with big comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms and there's a fridge and small dining tables in a common area for guests. Free WiFi is reasonably fast. The water pressure isn't good when lots of people are using their showers, not a problem when the place isn't near capacity. Staffed by only one person at a time, but both workers we met were helpful, polite, friendly and pleasant. There are only four or five rooms, so they sell out often, make your plans ahead of time.
