The Comstock House
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.
