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.

My sisters and I stayed this month at the Housley House B&B for a Murder Mystery and had loads of fun. We got to play dress up with all Teresa's formals and the guys got decked out too. Dinner at Miss Lily's restaurant aka Teresa was exceptional with scallops and stuffed mushrooms made just for us. We can't wait to come back and see the pretty cherry blossoms in the garden. Thank you for your special touch left in our rooms. We will tell our friends and see you soon!
1.6 out of 5Shockingly terrible experience
March 04, 2013
The Christmas decorations were still all outside stacked by the entrance. We woke up Teresa from a nap upon arrival and walked into a house cluttered with stacks of personal papers with books and magazines throughout the papers. There were only two water bottles in the guest refrigerator upstairs and both were opened and used. The water pressure was terrible and overall very unwelcoming. Teresa left while we were getting freshened up, so when we came downstairs we had to call her for instructions. When we woke up, she was no where to be found again and she sent us to her restaurant for breakfast, which was less than stellar food and service. The whole stay felt like we were intruding on her time and personal space even though we were paying guests. After reading other's reviews, I totally feel jipped out of a good B&B experience. Absolutely terrible experience and will return to the B&B across the stress.

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
5 out of 5Gem found in Grand Rapids Ohio

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.

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.Special meal options
