March 20, 2013
My Husband and I were just married at the Queen's B&B on 3.16.2013 and it was perfect. We were married inside by the fireplace and it was a very sweet romantic setting. Marla and Joe took very good care of us. Made sure every detail of our wedding was attended too. We were able to view the inn at various time to get decoration ideas but we only needed a few. Most of the items blended into our theme and they have many options to choose from. Marla even polished all the silver to make sure it shined perfectly for the wedding ceremony. While we were getting ready for our day were were given fresh baked cookies and beverages. Such a small sweet detail but made all the difference when you have a really busy day and don't get a chance to eat really. Those cookies hit the spot! We were able to use every inch of the inn and no request was ever denied. The Ladies used the upstairs while the Men took over the Tavern. Each lending there own charm to the event. After the ceremony we left for our huge reception and the rooms were kinda left scattered with personal items in the rush of getting prepared. After a very long day I was dreading to come back to clean off the bed to crawl into it. When I walked into the room I was amazed it was all cleaned up. Everything neatly sorted and stacked. Bed was turned down with chocolates bedside. Again just another perk of a well thought service from Joe and Marla. Again we couldn't have been happier with how everything went on our special day. We will surely stay again and recommend this venue to anyone wanting a romantic wedding...or just a comfy stay overall. See you soon! Jeanette & Clay

We had a delightful getaway! The house is very comfortable. The bedrooms are charming. The hosts are warm and friendly. All the details are in place. We frequently stay at bed and breakfasts. This one is a gem.

My husband and I met up with two other couples we've been friends with for years. We had have a wonderful time catching up with each other at the inn. There is comfortable furniture to relax and visit. We felt right at home. Breakfast was delicious and the innkeepers were so nice. We'll have to go back!

February 17, 2013
Marla and Joe provide a warm welcome, clean and well-appointed cozy rooms, well-stocked library of books and movies, homemade cookies, and a delicious multiple-course gourmet breakfast. This is a very well-tended immaculate historic home. Topping it all off is a more than century old tavern which has been preserved by the hosts who value it as a step back into history for those who enter. (The tavern is non-functional, but a wonderful peek into the 19th century.). We heartily recommend this B&B.

5 out of 5What a Wonderful B&B!
October 28, 2012
In all my years of staying at B&B's, the Queens Residence is the best! The building and period furnishings are terrific. The library, the living rooms and dining rooms are fantastic. Joe and Marla have done an excellent job in making the whole house comfortable. The breakfasts are outstanding! I did not take advantage of the hot tub, but it certainly looked wonderful. My room(s) were great. Thank you. (the Cuban exile)

My wife and I were in the Ann Arbor area for business and found this lovely Inn for an overnight stay. The room was very well appointed and the service was exceptional. The breakfast was more than we expected and the coversation around the table gave a great start to our day. We would highly recommend The Queen's Residence.
