Inn Details
Perfect historic district location; period décor, modern amenities; warm hospitality; generous breakfasts, afternoon treats, evening wine & apple dumplings. We have ground floor rooms for those that don't do steps. Each room has a spectacular view of the river or our beautiful English garden. The rooms were beautifully decorated, extremely comfortable and impeccably clean. The restored beauty is the perfect place for you to rest and get away from it all. Enjoy the rocking chairs and a swing that overlook the river, a two person hammock and other seating that is located out amongst the cherry blossom trees in the English garden, a tandem bicycle or just regular ones and much more! Teresamarie has been said to have the gift of hospitality. She has been in the culinary field since she was 14 years old and has many specialties for you to enjoy. You will never go home hungry! If you require a special diet, she will fulfill your needs. Before building the Housley House B&B from ground up, she ran a B&B in California, close to Lake Tahoe and she has brought a little bit of California to Ohio in her cooking. The Innkeepers live in their own attached area so the guests get to enjoy the entire historical house (excluding the kitchen) for the gatherings. So this is the place if you are wanting to gather with family or friends in the parlor, library/tea room or formal dining room. We even do murder mysteries and lantern walks. The Housley House B&B is perfect for that intimate wedding, elopement or renewal because the innkeeper - Teresamarie is a licensed officiate with over 15 years experience in making that day the perfect fit for the two of you! There is so much to do while visiting the Housley House but if you should decide not to "do" a lot of activities, and just want to relax, hide and getaway......this is the place! Read our reviews! They say it all! Then come see if they are true and you decide.

Signature Dish
Green Chili California Breakfast
As a child Teresa Marie spent summers at her Aunt and Uncle's Bed and Breakfast in York Beach, Maine, called The Pink house and then later on in her years she ran a Bed and Breakfast herself in the Sierra Mountains of California close to Lake Tahoe and it was here that she fell in love with all the different types of local foods and when starting up her own Bed and Breakfast in Grand Rapids, Ohio she decided to bring a little of California and a little bit of York Beach Maine to Grand Rapids, Ohio. This wonderful Breakfast dish has just a little bite, combined with 3 different cheeses and fluffy eggs starts your day off on the right foot and will keep your tummy happy until its time for lunch downtown at one of our awesome restaurants. Teresa Marie's bread pudding, specialty scone and hot punch are visitors favorites. But the thing that Teresa Marie is really known for and goes beyond for is her gift of hospitality and serving. That is what people return for. To be spoiled and relax.

PLEASE!! Check out www.housleyhouse.com. My husband and I just got back from a one night get away and WOW! The house itself is FANTASTIC and a model for what a victorian B&B should be, but it's the hosts Teresa and Don that make it the most pleasurable, dare I say, life altering experience (I'm talking FANTASTIC people). Anyone who wants to get away from it all - I recommend w/out reservation. Although, yes, reservation is required. Teresa also does weddings. Did I mention the food?? OMG! THEE BEST! We will definately be going back. Bill and Kim Moll

I had never even heard of Grand Rapids, OH until I had to find lodging for a wedding. I really enjoy helping out "Mom & Pop" businesses so I thought I'd look for a B&B. The Housley House popped up on a bed and breakfast site and after comparing it to others in the area I decided to book my evening! I am so excited that I did! My husband and I have never stayed in a B&B before, so we had no idea what to expect. Teresa and Don were so inviting and welcoming that I had no worries about our choice! We stayed in the "Lily & Walter" Room. It was very nice, little small, but cozy. The bathroom was just outside the bedroom, and was very clean and very large! Bonus for us girls! The entire house is a beauty, outside and inside. You feel like you are stepping back in time with the decorations and furniture. Teresa made us our breakfast, cinnamon and white chocolate chip scones with sweet cherry sauce, AMAZING!!! Teresa was very friendly, yet professional, and her and Don sat with us during breakfast telling us stories about their home and their lives together. What a warm, fun and happy couple Teresa and Don are. They make you appreciate the smaller things, and if you're lucky, they'll tell you the name behind the "Lily & Walter" Room

My husband and I were looking for a quiet peaceful place where we could relax and get away from our busy hectic life. Although it was only 1 1/2 hours from our home, we felt like we found a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. We loved EVERYTHING about The Housley House! Our two night stay was delightful. Our hosts were so gracious and by the time we left on Tuesday, it seemed like we knew Teresa Marie and Don all our lives. We stayed in the Dillen Room. The room was furnished with beautiful antiques, as was the entire house. The Housley House is exceptionally clean; well decorated; welcoming; comfortable; friendly--all the attributes you look for in a getaway. My husband and I spent a lot of time swinging on the huge front porch, surrounded by the beautifully decorative gardens. The view and peacefulness of the Maumee River brings a soothing and romantic experience to this setting. From the moment Tom & I stepped into this place, we felt as though our hosts bent over backwards to make this a truly relaxing and inviting place. I can tell Teresa Marie takes pride in creating the homemade breakfasts and evening treats she serves as each came out as a work of art and tasted fabulous (oatmeal pancakes with fresh blueberry syrup, scone with orange glaze, blueberry bread pudding, strawberry shortcake) Yum!!! To top it off, Teresa Marie directed us to area attractions such as the Isaac Ludwig Mill and Providence Metro Park historical mule drawn canal boat ride. She also printed us off discount coupons for our evening dinner with friends. We found the entire experience most outstanding and we are looking forward to attending one of the upcoming events planned. When you stay at the Housley House, you will be intrigued by the amazing story of the paths that led Teresa Marie and Don to Grand Rapids and proud owners of the Housley House. Don't forget to ask about the matching candelabras.

Gary and I chose the Housley House B&B as the location for our wedding and honeymoon and it was perfect!! There is absolutely NOTHING that TeresaMarie or Don could have done to make our stay any more memorable or more amazing! Teresa anticipated our every need and want and provided before we even knew we wanted it! She is the queen of spoiling and I can't recommend the Housley House any more highly. She gave life to my dream wedding by performing our ceremony at sunset in the softly lit English Garden...I will never forget how wonderful she made our stay. We didn't want to leave and actually stayed a second night; unwilling to leave the beautiful house and our gracious hosts. We will most certainly be returning soon!
Yummy!
