    Innkeepers were very accommodating, plenty of wonderful food for breakfast. Not too "foo-foo" but very clean and lovely! Comfortable bed and good shower! They provide bicycles and helmets for plenty of day bike rides.

    We have stayed in b&b's about half a dozen times and have never enjoyed such generous and delicious breakfasts. We stayed 3 nights and were delighted every morning to have a lovely basket filled with piping hot and delicious food delivered to our door promptly at 9:30. Each breakfast included a different variety of fresh, perfect berries, melons, and other fruits. Day 1 was Michigan blueberry pancakes with the best scrambled eggs and sausage links. Day 2 was red pepper, zucchini, and cheese quiche accompanied by seasoned red skin and Yukon gold potatoes. Our last day was apricot stuffed french toast with grilled Polish and breakfast sausages. I know this is a lot of detail but the Welsh's really give new meaning to the breakfast part of bed and breakfast! Our room (the Garden Retreat) in the coach house was beautifully decorated and absolutely immaculate. There was a spray of beautiful orange gladiolas to greet us and lots of other thoughtful and classy touches- like lovely soaps and bath salts and assorted teas (my favorite, Constant Comment). The grounds are beautiful with lots of pleasant spots to sit in the shade and read. We ate our breakfasts at one of the umbrella tables. Also enjoyed riding the bikes to the nearby beach. Paula and Jerry have spared no expense in making their b& b a top shelf place to stay. I couldn't recommend it more highly!

    Wow, what a place!

    I truly enjoyed the experience. The Garden Retreat is beautiful, the bed was so comfortable. I walked the yard and enjoyed the birds chirping, the gorgeous flowers and the beach sunset was fascinating. Paula and Jerry are special people, they know how to take care of you. The breakfasts were out of this world. Don't pass this place up ... Don't miss this beautiful place!

    First experience at a B&B.

    Garden Grove is a beautiful place. The innkeepers Jerry and Paula have done a excellent job with their B & B. We would definitely recommend anybody looking to stay in Harbor Country to book a room at Garden Grove. It is very clean, comfortable, cozy, and breakfast was delicious! Location is great because you're right in the middle of the local towns to see. Jerry and Paula understand your needs for a enjoyable stay. We would stay here again without a doubt!
