    Perfect In-Town Getaway

    May 03, 2013

    We were looking for something different for our anniversary. We have stayed in other bed and breakfast but wanted something with a bit more privacy. German Village Guest House was perfect. The details in the house were amazing, especially the kitchen. My wife loved the flowers, chocolate covered strawberries and champagne. Some great dinning and sites within walking distance. We had a wonderful time.

    warm feelings

    December 26, 2012

    This was our second time at GVGH. We have stayed in both Whittier suites, and other than the second floor being up a rather steep flight of outdoor steps both suites are equally lovely. You feel comfortable and cared for without a sense of invasiveness. The B&B experience begins with a welcoming pitcher of tea and cookies. In the morning you select from a tasty array of breakfast foods available in the kitchen of your suite; even the table is set and ready for you. After a day of exploring German Village (galleries, gift shops, restaurants) you come home to a cozy living room, well appointed spa bath and a very comfortable bed. When you leave, and unfortunately you eventually must, you take with you a sense that you have just visited a friend who knows you well.

The rooms of our suite were very comfortable and we had a very nice stay. Thank you so much.
