Paula and Jerry made me look like the perfect boyfriend. I took my girlfriend out to Garden Grove B&B and I don't think it could have been any better. The room was very comfortable. The area was beautiful. The breakfast was so delicious. Garden Grove is perfect for a getaway and makes it easy for guys to really be good their ladies.

I've been meaning to write a review because Garden Grove left an awesome first impression! Paula and Jerry Welsh are kind people, always smiling and helpful but give you the space you need for quiet, peaceful relaxation. They offer great packages for an awesome price! I would recommend Garden Grove to anyone. I look forward to returning to Garden Grove in the future.

We just stayed the weekend at the Garden Grove (Lavender Room) and had a great time. The room was great - good size, nice amenities and very clean. The only oddity was that the wall in the bathroom didn't go all the way to the ceiling, so there is little privacy while using the bathroom. The breakfasts were fabulous and delivered piping hot to the door each morning. The hosts were wonderful and full of helpful information. You must try Soe Cafe - excellent food. I hope to make it back to the Garden Grove again. Everything was simply perfect.

As one who has never even thought of staying in a B & B, I was a bit hesitant when my husband surprised me with a romantic weekend getaway - to a B & B! But from the minute we pulled up to the property - I was hooked. We met Jerry during check in who is a wealth of local information! One of my B & B concerns - over - friendly innkeepers - was immediately put to rest. Jerry was the perfect combination of hospitality while respecting our privacy. Another of my B & B concerns was cleanliness...the condition of the room (we stayed in the beautiful Woodland Suite) was spotless! A bonus perk - Jerry put my husband in touch with a massage therapist that travels to the property for in - room massage - absolutely wonderful!! I think the Garden Grove has spoiled me and the hotels I used to enjoy have something to live up to!

Garden Grove Bed & Breakfast exceeded our expectations. It was our first time at a bed & breakfast. Future bed and breakfast stays will be held to a very high standard because of our experience at Garden Grove. The garden theme and decor was very well done. Every room was very clean and comfortable. Great location right off the highway and in the midst of the Wine Trail. We would definitely consider staying there again and recommending our friends. The hosts, Paula and Jerry, are thoughtful, helpful and friendly.

My husband and I enjoyed a marvelous weekend at the Garden Grove B&B in Southeast Michigan. We stayed in the Garden Retreat which is a lovely first floor room in the carriage house on the Garden Grove property. Painted a beautiful yellow with cobalt blue accents, the Garden Retreat lived up to its name as a restful, enjoyable room. The double Jacuzzi accommodated us perfectly; the gas fireplace provided excellent romantic atmosphere. Breakfasts were terrific, in particular, a vegetable quiche and strawberry cinnamon coffeecake delivered to our doorstep on Sunday.

This BnB is a treasurer. The old farmhouse is located in a resential area, but once you turn down their long driveway you'll realize your in your own, beautiful, seculded world. The gardening and grounds are kept immaculate and the landscaping is top-notch. The house is well-appointed and large - but the layout makes it very cosy. To top it off Jerry and Paula are very friendly and helpful. We were there for an early morning 100mile bike ride..and Paula got up at the crack of dawn, 3 hours earlier, to make us breakfast! Great place - we'll be back.

We stayed Sunday and Monday for obvious reasons- it's less expensive and attractions aren't as busy. Garden Grove is beautiful, especially in the fall. We went to the casino, did the wine trail, went shopping at Lighthouse flake. Garden Grove was right in the middle of where we wanted to be!

We stayed 3 nights in the Woodland suite over the summer, and had a marvelous time. The room was clean and beautifully decorated, we had all the amenities we needed, and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the selection of movies to choose from, the game system, and the jacuzzi in suite. The breakfasts were delicious! They had unique, tasty recipes served at your door right on time every morning. The gardens around the building were beautiful, and the owners were friendly and helpful. We also used their free bike rentals for a ride in the country - though, the bikes were quite old, they worked fine. The location of the b&b is great as well - near to Warren Dunes State park, and the small, quaint towns of Union Pier and Lakeside, also not far from New Buffalo. We will definitely stay again! Thanks for a nice time!
