    Signature Dish

    Eggs Benny a la Twin Gables Inn
    A delicious dish built on a lightly toasted and buttered English muffin which is then covered with scrambled eggs and topped with a three-cheese sauce. Steamed brocolli surrounds this dish and it is garnished with plump grape tomatoes and finely chopped scalliions. It is a true crowd pleaser!

    The B&B owners graciously upgraded our room free-of-charge since we were there in the off-season and pricier rooms were available. Our room had a king sized bed and gas fireplace. The breakfast provided in the morning was hearty and delicious (the cinnamon scone was the best I’ve ever had). The inn’s Common Room was comfortable, clean, and quiet. Complimentary hot beverages were available all day, as was a computer with internet service and lots of info about things to do in the area. Came home feeling very relaxed and refreshed after my stay at Twin Gables.


    Best Saturday night in a long time

    My fiancee and I needed a date night and chose this little place because it is so close to Grand Rapids. The hostess was very helpfull, the breakfast was great, the rooms were fine-although our bed was a tad uncomfortable. We like to watch hockey and the TV's in the rooms are quite small. -Thats OK we found something much more fun to do. ;-) I already have plans to stay again.

    My husband and I went to Twin Gables for a short weekend retreat and couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. We stayed in the Vintner's Loft, which was removed from the main house and off by itself and enjoyed the solitude. The Innkeeper was wonderful and breakfast the next day was utterly delicious!

    It was a nice enough place, but the inn keepers weren't around much. We explained that we had to leave earlier than the 9:00 breakfast and were told someone would be up to at least to accomodate something on a lighter note. We waited in the morning and knocked on their door several times, to no avail. We just put the keys on the counter and left.
