Arrived at 4:30pm and tucked into a great room in the Main building. Grabbed a bite out and came back to relax. I had a hectic week at work and it was so good to sleep so soundly- 10pm to 7am straight through, which I never do. Lovely balcony off the room that I would have loved to use if the weather was a bit nicer. Great stay, highly recommend.

A very cute and quaint bed-and-breakfast with beautiful grounds and beautiful rooms… Hillary, the owner is exceptionally hospitable and cooks breakfast every morning. It’s about a mile to the beach… You could walk it, however, it’s a rather long walk, depending on the heat… Parking is limited, and I found that going later in the day, and during the week was much more convenient… there are not many options for food in the area, but the town of three Oaks is nearby, and New Buffalo and has more of a selection… I would stay here again.

Hilary was a perfect hostess. We were trying to find a place open Saturday night to get coffee but couldn't find any. I texted Holary for recommendations and she made a small pot for me when we got back to Garden Grove. So thoughtful and tasty too! Our room was very nice, Breakfast was tasty, and the resident cat was adorable and sweet. We also loved the grounds. We would stay here again!

We enjoyed every nook and cranny of Garden Grove! We felt relaxed as soon as we entered the home. Hillary is the best innkeeper and her attention to detail is amazing. Homemade, delicious breakfast and coffee each morning and even s’mores kits were available for an evening bonfire. The Rose room was super clean, pretty and well appointed. Love how close the beach was (maybe one mile and free parking). She has bicycles and beach chairs you can use. We loved our stay and will absolutely return!

Romantic, Beautiful and Clean!
Beautifully decorated for the style home and absolutely perfectly cleaned! Breakfast was included and it was delicious both days we stayed. The bed was on the comfortable side and the gas fireplace in our room was amazing. We were able to book in room massages and the therapist was wonderful and did a great job. The jacuzzi felt amazing and had nice jets and had plenty of room for two:) Also was close to many things to do including outlet malls, two casinos and breweries. One thing they should change immediately and that is to upgrade the old school TV!!

Perfect B&B in Harbor Country
Wonderful BnB in Harbor country. Owners could not have been more thoughtful and kind, including in dealing with social distancing, masks, etc. Charming accommodations, lovely grounds, close to lake and Red Arrow Hwy. Breakfast was excellent - homemade. Special shout out to Bruno, the owner's cat, who though a senior citizen now still enjoys lounging regally in the garden for all to admire-

Wonderful place to stay!
Great B&B in a wonderful location. It was very close to the areas we wanted to explore--mainly Three Oaks and New Buffalo. The breakfast each morning was delicious. It's a very relaxing, pleasant atmosphere inside and outside (I bet it would be wonderful to enjoy the grounds during Summer/early Fall there).

We came here on our wedding anniversary and it was a wonderful relaxing stay. A warm and delicious breakfast was brought to our door in the morning. Perfect, for eating a romantic breakfast together in our room with the fireplace. The fireplace in our room and jacuzzi tub were amazing for our weekend get away. They really exceeded our expectations. The nearby towns were cute and we had plenty to do. There was a quiet beach within walking distance. We were quite impressed!

Sorry you are reporting the fireplace was not in working order. Much as a pool is not available in January, we have turned off the pilots to the fireplaces in the summer. (96 degrees) for obvius reasons. Quite sure you didnt ask about the fireplace as we would have had a chance to explain.

This cute B&B was so well put together. The place was exceptionally clean. It was so cozy and quiet. The owners were absolutely amazing. Breakfast was delicious and different every morning. Paula makes the best blueberry pancakes and almond loaf. I would go back again and again. Be sure to get the prime rib from Skips and the lava cake for dessert.

Wonderful place to stay in great location.
We spent two nights at Garden Grove and enjoyed our stay so very much. Paula and Terry are very nice and talked with us about nearby things to see and do and places to dine. The breakfast both days was luscious and served on the beautiful front porch room where we could watch and hear the birds. The gardens are gorgeous and surround the house. Our room was very clean and well-decorated. We would love to go back.
