Review The Housley House & English garden, Grand Rapids, OH

Photo Album

Whether it is an intimate wedding, ladies group, retreat, business meeting or just a place enjoyed by our over-night guests...The Housley House Engish garden is a place that will touch your heart.The beautiful Walter & Lily room is on the ground floor and has all the extra's you could want.  The private bath is very spacious and elegant.
Another view of the Walter & Lily room.  Centeral air, flat screened TV and much more!The beautiful Rose Room with its magestic sleigh bed, overlooks the English garden. it has it's own private sitting area where you can enjoy a private breakfast or a piece of pie that Teresa marie makes fresh everyday for the guests.
The Dillin room is just one of the beautiful rooms that guests can stay in. The very spacious room has a TV, 4 poster Rice feather bed, breakfast nook as you enjoy the breath-taking view of the historical Maumee river and Front St. of Grand Rapids, Ohio. The Dillin room has has a private bathroom that has a 2 person jaquzi and shower.While staying in the spacious Dillin Room, you can enjoy the village and historical Maumee River below as you sit and have a glass of wine or breakfast in the privacy of your room.  Can you imagine viewing the Applebutter festival and it's crowd of 78,000+ from here?!
The Dillin Room's private jacuzzi is a wonderful place to add romance to your night!Our goal here at the Housley House B&B is that when you visit here you feel like you stepped back in time to Grandma's house.  Whether you are sharing time in the living room by the fireplace enjoying the flames or watching tv as you sit on the feather couch.
Each evening brings a new sunset full of new colors for you to sit and enjoy on one of the many swings that line the historical Maumee river that is in the front yard of The Housley House.
