Inn Details

The Comstock House is an elegant Eastlake brick style home located in Big Rapids, Michigan. D.F. Comstock built this extravagant home in 1896, where it later became the home of the Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity and now the Johansen Family has restored this home back to its original state.

Beautifully furnished with antiques throughout, the house reflects the decorating style of the late 1800’s to early 1900’s. The Victorian color scheme, grand fireplaces, and gorgeous mahogany woodwork restored showcases the five original stain glass windows. Enjoy a relaxing stay in any of our three victorian Bed & Breakfast rooms and wake up to a delicious, unique, gourmet breakfast. Two rooms even feature claw foot spa air tubs big enough for two!

Whether it’s a romantic getaway, small wedding, or even a business meeting, the Comstock House’s ambiance is sure to please everyone.

    This photo is taken from the library looking into the room where the wedding ceremony was to take place. We had 53 chairs set up for seating in this one room and the bride and groom stood in front of the fireplace. They decorated the mantle and put on the chair covers to make this wedding beautiful and the colors matched the house perfectly! As you can see not much decoration is needed! The house says it all!The Jennie Marcia Room features this ornate queen size bed with a fireplac and private bath.
    This was a table set up for a wedding. We have these centerpieces to rent out if needed! We set up 60 inch diameter tables that can seat 8 at a table.This photo was taken from a postcard dated in the late 1800's. This is what the house originally looked like when it was built in 1896.
