    Our stay was absolutely perfect. Thanks to Laurel and Terry they made our getaway very enjoyable. The house and room was beautiful and very clean, warm and inviting. The service and food was excellent. They made us feel very welcome. Really enjoyed the social hour, a nice way to interact with your guests and meet new people. Thanks again! Hope to visit again.

    This place is home away from home :-D

    Awesome place! I'm a student and have a rotation at Bronson Hospital, which is super close by (a plus!) and had to be out the door at 6am! Laurel was so helpful, she made my life so easy, got me whatever I needed and put my delicious breakfast (including fresh fruit, toast, butter, jam/jelly, everything!) in the fridge for me. This place is clean, safe, comfortable, homely, and great for anybody (students, travelers, etc) :) The cookies at night were something to look forward to each evening, and the free drinks around-the-clock is so considerate. My room had a great desk for me to do my homework, and the in-room climate control was great too. I didn't get to enjoy the complimentary cable & HDTV, or electric fireplace, maybe next time! Thanks for a great stay :-D

    Fantastic bed and breakfast stay!

    Absolutely gorgeous Victorian bed and breakfast, beautifully maintained. Such warm hospitality, with excellent breakfasts and wonderful ambience. Loved our spacious third floor room, so quiet and comfortable. Enjoyed many relaxing moments on the lovely porch and in the downstairs rooms. Terrific location in the vibrant downtown area, walked to great restaurants three nights in a row, and a beautiful park is located a block away. Highly recommend The Kalamazoo House!

    For our anniversary we treated ourselves to a night out. Kalamazoo House was a perfect choice! The hosts are charming, the food is delicious, and the location is within walking distance of the city square and restaurants like Food Dance. We highly recommend it.

    What a wonderful getaway!

    Had a wonderful night in Kalamazoo. Just a beautiful bed and breakfast. Friendly hosts who cared that we were enjoying ourselves. Spent time visiting us over a complimentary glass of Michigan wine. Gave us our choice of breakfast entrees and treated us like they cared about us. Thanks for a wonderful visit to Kalamazoo.
