At Willow Pond B&B

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. From the horseback riding, petting Rascal the dog and the warm and inviting breakfast conversations with the owners, I definitely will keep it in mind for future visits.

I'm gluten free and Claire went out of her way to make me food that I could eat. It's a cozy, nice place in the country and the owners are great. It was a wonderful place to spend our 40th Wedding Anniversary!!

Had the opportunity to stay at Willow Pond bed and breakfast with two girlfriends this past weekend. The contact beforehand was professional and pleasant. Upon arriving we were met by Jerome, and then Claire. The was an instant peace and I knew God had sent us there. The home was beautful and comfortable. The outdoors were also spectacular and full of beauty. Did I mention the breakfast. Claire is an outstanding cook and to top it off, she accomodated my gluten free needs. Yum!!! Mostly, however, it was the warmth, comfort and care Jerome and Claire showed toward us. Just like being home. Needless to say, were had a wonderful stay and I personally hope it won't be long before I will revisit that experience.

My oldest daughter surprised me with a weekend only an hour from our home at Willow Pond B&B. I had never before stayed at a B&B so had no idea what to expect. Well, first of all, the room was spacious, comfortable, clean and well-decorated. Jerome and Claire were magnficient hosts and the horseback ride that Jill took us on was especially enjoyable. Loved the cookies and breakfast. I would highly recommend Willow Pond for a relaxing getaway.

Rooms were very nicely furnished. Hosts were pleasant and friendly. Setting is fabulous!

As always we were made to feel more like family than visitors. We love the casual atmosphere and warm hospitality. Our time with Jerome and Clare is filled with fun and interesting conversation and Clare's breakfast is second to none.

We had a wonderful stay At Willow Pond. The inn keepers were great! I will be staying again soon. The breakfast was delicious and the rooms were super nice.

We came here for a relaxing getaway. We enjoyed the country location, welcoming hosts, generous sized room, clean bathroom and pretty views. Highly recommeded.

Claire and Jerome were fabulous hosts. The property was gorgeous, very quiet and secluded. We were able to relax in the hammock by the pond. We bought a package that included champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, dinner by the fire and breakfast in bed. It was all perfect. I can't wait to go back.

We had the most wonderful stay from start to finish. Claire and Jerome were so hospitable. We couldn't have asked for more in a bed in breakfast. My boyfriend and I were looking the perfect place to have a quiet weekend away and we found it! We stayed in the lavander room and it was beautiful! The room was very spacious and comfortable. The house and property are breath takingly gorgeous!! Claire made the most wonderful pumpkin pancakes for breakfast in the morning and then we went out on the most amazing horseback ride. We had so much fun and our guide Jill was so sweet! I can't say enough about how wonderful our experiance was! We can't wait to go back!!

Thanks for the break from the busyness of our lives! We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the food and fellowship!

My stay At Willow Pond was very nice. The place is really in the middle of nowhere and I found it to be a very pleasant experience. The hosts were very gracious with our requests.

I had an excellent time at the Inn at Willow Pond. It can absolutely be described as a country get-away. It is not for someone who expects to be in a town, though, as the nearest "town" is about 9 miles away. However, this more remote location lends itself to beautiful scenery, a farm with chickens, horses, ducks, dogs, and cats, and an overall feeling of serenity. The breakfasts are also fabulous. Claire uses eggs fresh from the chickens outside, as well as fruits, vegetables, and herbs from her own garden. Breakfast each day was truly a treat and I dream of the homemade cheddar biscuits! Many, many thanks to Claire & Jerome for a wonderful stay.

Claire and Jerome are outstanding hosts! We felt right at home. I cannot have Gluten and Claire met us at the "door" with wonderful gluten-free cookies and prepared a wonderful breakfast each morning that I enjoyed tremendously and I never felt deprived.

Good attention to detail; worry-free stay; Claire & Jerome were friendly & accommodating...Bottom line: I'd consider a return visit.

this was the best bed and breakfast i have ever stayed, i stayed for one week and felt like i was leaving friends. claire and jerome made me feel relaxed and at home. i have been having trouble sleeping but was able to sleep here 8 hours with out waking up. WOW I feel so relaxed. the food was outstanding, my room was perfect, my bed was wonderful. i was so sad when i departed. I had such a great time i all ready booked another week next year. if you want to stay with friends this is the place, please make sure you leave me some cookies, ask jerome to tell you some jokes.! and dont forget the huge on your way out Rock Hood

My husband and I stayed here on a Saturday evening. The owners were very nice and friendly. The room was nice and very cozy! The breakfast was delicious!!!! Would definitely go back!!!

Homemade breakfast, wonderful surroundings and great owners!

If you want a place that is clean, relaxing, friendly, with a feeling that you belong there, this is the place for you. It has a feel that you are at a relatives house for a visit. Claire and Jerome has such a sweet spirit about them.

The owners are very sweet! Location is nice and peaceful too.

My new husband and I stayed here on our wedding night. Claire waited up for us to get there after our reception. We loved the Northwest Room! We both agree that the breakfast we were served in bed Sunday morning was a great way to start our honeymoon of Bed and Breakfast stays! We didn't think that the meal would be topped by the other B&Bs we would be visiting and we were correct! Loved the whole experience!

this experience was more than i could have ever dreamed for. i cant wait to go back again and i definetly plan on going again. kelly zuckerman

From the candlelight dinner to breakfast in bed, everything was amazing. The walk around the property and seeing all the animals, and such a quiet getaway. We will definately be back

We loved being able to truly "get away" to such a nice atmosphere. There was plenty to do around the property (walking around, playing with animals, snowshoeing, etc.) and Claire and Jerome are so accommodating and pleasant to be around. They do a great job of making your stay whatever you want it to be--whether it's just relaxing or being active or planning specific activities. The food was amazing, and we highly recommend the Cooking with Claire option if you're looking for a fun activity to do while there!

We were lucky enough to join Claire and Jerome for a weekend away. What a pleasant relaxing getaway!

The weekend that my wife and I spent at Willow Pond, was paid for by our dear neighbor as a thank you. Our stay was wonderful...cozy fire, warm cozy bed, dual shower, exceptional cousine, scenery, kind attentive hosts and yes even the nosy playful cats all helped provide a wonderful time away from the city for my wife and I. My wife and I enjoyed out stay, we plan to return at a later time to celebrate one of our anniversaries. I would strongly recommend Willow Pond as a place to stay and visit.

Have to travel up this way for business once a month and was looking for a comfortable place to stay on a regular basis. I avoid hotels and motels whenever I possibly can, and donn't mind putting in the extra $$$ to stay someplace cozy and relaxed without the claustrophia and sterility of just four walls. Loved that I could linger in the common area downstairs in front of the fireplace. Would have brought my suit had I known there was a hot tub! Next month while there I intend to take full advantage of the upstairs area for relaxing, if time allows. Claire and Jerome were such great hosts, it was hard to pull myself away from breakfast to get back on the road. The only reason the room didn't get 5 stars was because I couldn't keep the TV working. Because no one was in the room across the way, I did sneak in to relax in front of their TV before turning in for the night. I'm sure that issue will be resolved before my next visit. And am really looking forward to it!

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and that you are coming back so soon! The TV issue has indeed been fixed--it was only batteries in the remote--glad it was such an easy fix! I wish (I had known when you were here.) Do bring your suit next time--there's nothing like soaking in the hot tub when it's snowy outside!

My partner and I had stayed at willow pond and what a wonderful stay. The room was so warm and inviting, We were met at the front door by our wonderful hostess Claire and she gave us a tour of the house, which by the way might I add was so wonderful and really made you feel at home. Her husband Jerome was great telling wonderful stories and getting us both to laugh so hard we cried. My partner and I sat down later in the evening to talk with them about our own ideas of starting up a bed and breakfast and what a wonderful wealth of knowledge they both were to us. I can’t wait to go back and do it again, Thank you, Thank you Thank you….. -Daniel & Nathan Hillsdale, Mi

Very restful stay,the hosts were so nice and warm and welcoming and interesting. Good conversation, wonderful stories, great bed, delicious breakfast, yummy,warm home-baked cookies. A very clean, inviting natural setting. We would stay again if we ever have the chance. We highly recommend the B&B at Willow Pond

I couldn't have pictured a more relaxing weekend. Our stay was PERFECT! Very, very affordable and relaxing! This was just what I was looking for in a weekend getaway. We booked our 2nd reservation before we checked out :) Claire and Jerome are very warm and loving people who have opened their homes up to share with everyone. We cannot wait to go back!!!

Willow Pond is a wonderfully beautiful quiet setting. Clare is a wonderfully warm hostess and Jerome is a man with a joyous heart that always has a story to spin. We felt more like family than guests. Highly recommend it!

This B&B is out in the country so if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing stay this is the place for you. We spend the day a Meijer gardens and then headed here for the evening. The grounds are well maintained and the house and room were charming. The hosts are very friendly and provide a large and delicious country breakfast. After dinner in Ionia (a small town with great architecture) we hit the outdoor hot tub under the stars just steps outside our room. Can't wait to go back.

Beautiful, tranquil setting -- loved the resident ducks, chickens, and horses. The room was charming, clean, and comfortable. Our delicious breakfast included fruit/yogurt parfaits and relaxed conversation with our hosts. Would recommend to anyone looking for a cozy country getaway. Kelly B

Jerome and Claire are the most gracious hosts! They became instant friends. It felt like I was home, without all of the work! The food was incredible and it was so quiet and peaceful! The conversation was the best, so inspiring and encouraging. We pray that we can come back soon for a visit! God bless you both!

Willow Pond B&B has become our favorite get-away. Claire and Jerome are the perfect hosts and make their guests feel truly at home and welcome. From the well-appointed rooms to the beautiful property and excellent food, I cannot think of one thing that could be improved. Great value too!

My wife and I stayed there for our honeymoon. Claire made no mention of the fact that we were both women when she greeted us, which we appreciated. We were treated like any other couple. The breakfast was fancy and delicious, with excellent presentation. Both Claire and Jerome made conversation with us in the mornings. I was able to ride one of the horses on my own which was a wonderful treat. The house was impeccably clean. We enjoyed our stay so much.

Even though it rained both days of our stay, we enjoyed a lovely stay with Claire and Jerome, plus the kitties. Who would have thought that a room in the house's lower level could be so comfortable and feature such a fabulous shower? Breakfasts were creative and delicious, and the genuine welcoming warmth has added At Willow Pond to our "keeper" list of B&Bs.

Had a wonderful, relaxing getaway! Jerome & Claire both make you feel very much at ease and welcomed. Loved and appreciated the horseback riding. Would highly recommend this B&B.

I took my wife for a long weekend getaway for our 12th anniversary. I went with their Sweetheart/Anniversary package. It was a great value and a very nice addition to our stay. I could not have picked a better place to stay. Claire and Jerome are wonderful hosts. Their home is beautiful and very comfy. Claire's cooking is dangerously good! I honestly don't have a non-positive thing to say about the B&B and our stay there.

Claire and Jerome are such a sweet couple and very accomodating. Claire learned vegan recipes to accomodate our dietary needs and prepared a most beautiful and romantic candlight dinner by the pond to help us celebrate our anniversary. The atmosphere is so comfortable, relaxing, peaceful, and we enjoyed the animals and most of all the fellowship of visiting with the innkeepers.
