    Every January my two sisters and I go somewhere in the Midwest where we all live to celebrate two January birthdays. We have fun wherever we go but I must say this year our choice of the Mill House Inn added some very special memories! The coziness, peacefulness and charm of the Mill House created a haven for us; we enjoyed shopping and eating dinner in the small village of Grand Rapids and loved the step back in time feelings we had as we walked along their Canal on a well kept pathway; the Maumee River just over the way helped us imagine early life in this special Ohio village. Our hosts Kathy and Ron treated us like family; the food was amazing. Kathy makes the most incredible scones and then for breakfast we had a delicious bread pudding made from scones--oh my goodness--my mouth waters thinking about it! If you want a relaxing weekend, one with the simple pleasures of companionship in a quaint setting, this is a highly recommended spot.

    All rooms were neat, clean, and decorated nicely. The location along the canal and the Maumee River is outstanding. After a walk along the canal and the riverbank, we sat on the patio and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere that only a river can provide. The rooms were extremely quiet and the beds were so comfortable that we fell asleep immediately after we went to bed and did not wake until morning. The Innkeepers Ron and Kathy were genuinely friendly and made us feel at home. It was like staying with a sister and her husband instead of strangers.Kathy went out of her way to provide a delicious breakfast that accomodated a special dietary need. I bought the ingredients when I got home to make it myself! We will definitely be returning when we are in the area again.

    What a respite! Kathy was a wonderful cook and host, providing delicious scones, thoughtfulness, good coffee, and delightful conversation. The river just outside the gardens was a delight to listen to and walk beside in the morning. We will definitely be returning here again.

    My wife and I found this B&B through a 2000 publication titled 'Bed, Breakfast & Bike Midwest'. We arrived early, and parked at the inn, while we went on our 35 mile bike ride around the area. Once we returned, we checked in with Ron and Kathy. They were both very hospitable, and gave us a brief tour of the B&B including our room. After moving our bikes under the deck and putting our bags in the room, we sat outside and enjoyed the patio and scenic view of the river. The Munk's provided us with snacks, water, and pop for the afternoon. They also had menu's from local restaurants so we could view what was available for dinner. After dinner we returned to the inn, and found home made scones for dessert ... a very nice surprise and quite delicious. There were movies/DVD's available for watching in our room. We stayed in the 'Ruth Thomas Room'. This room ha a queen sized bed with a twin bed and a private bath. The room was fairly spacious, very clean and comfortable. I rated the room a 'met my expectations', as I would have prefered a couple of chairs in the room for reading. The common area of the house is very small, and can only accomodate a few guests at a time. On a cloudy/rainy day. the house becomes somewhat 'small'. The dining just missed an 'outstanding' rating, due to the breakfast. While the breakfast scones were very good, the remainder of the breakfast food available (choices and quantity) was very limited. Part of this may have been due to Kathy having to leave early in the morning. But compared to other B&B's, this was an average morning meal. I would recommend this B&B to others.
