We stayed in the Woodland Suite for two nights and it was awesome! Clean, comfortable, and a very romantic atmosphere! The home cooked breakfasts were brought to the room hot and we’re so delicious and filling. Jerry was so knowledgeable and helpful. They brought in a wonderful massage therapist for us. I highly recommend this place !

This was a beautiful, clean, well taken care of Home. Pictures do not do this place justice. We stayed in The Garden Retreat, and it was perfect for 2 people. Lots of room, extra clean, everything you needed, even a wine bottle opener, which we needed! I viewed all the rooms after we checked out, and all rooms are exceptional! But when we go again, we want to stay in The Garden Retreat room again!!, It’s a little house or cottage, situated right behind the big house, but you have your own private entrance into your room. OH, I can’t forget, the BREAKFAST WAS DELICIOUS too! We will go back again, that is certain!!! Thank You to Jerry and Paula, great people, and a great place to stay! I highly recommend! A+++++

My wife and I stayed at Garden Grove this past weekend for our tenth wedding anniversary. We both agreed the overall experience was very positive.
We stayed in the Sunflower Room which includes a gas fireplace with armchairs facing it and a jacuzzi tub. Quite comfortable and we enjoyed relaxing by the fire each night.
Breakfast was really good and better than most B & B’s we have stayed. The menu included a bacon cheese omelette, vegetable quiche, and sausage with eggs. Each morning we had fresh fruit, juice and coffee.
The innkeepers Jerry and Paula were very friendly and helpful when it came to recommending local restaurants, breweries, wineries, and other attractions. They also made arrangements for an in room message.
I would highly recommend Garden Grove. We plan on staying there again on our next weekend getaway to SW MI Harbor Country.

Anniversary get-​away weekend. Garden Grove helped us book massages, dining, wineries, and more. Much better than staying at a busy hotel or motel. Located close to everything but at the end of the day far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet. Close to marina to charter a yacht, close to dining at famous Tabor Hill, and about 10 minutes from the casino for the rainey days. Owners are amazingly friendly. I earned some major brownie points bringing my wife here!

Garden Grove was our first bed and breakfast experience and I was very impressed. The pictures really do not do this inn justice and I can only assume that the few bad Unilocal reviews must’ve been flukes. Jerry and Paula were super nice and very accommodating and hospitable from start to finish. The Rose room (which I thought looked way too pink when viewing the pics online) was roomy, quaint, and super clean with an attached bathroom with a wonderful jacuzzi bathtub. The grounds of the inn were gorgeous with lots of lush plants and quiet sitting areas. The breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit, melt-​in-​your-​mouth blueberry pancakes, eggs and sausage links. And to top it off, the inn is only a 5 min bike ride (they have lots of bikes available for use if you don’t bring your own) from a couple of wineries (which we loved) in one direction and a local beach (which we loved) in the other. I am definitely now sold on Bed and Breakfast inns and we plan to come back to visit as soon as possible.

The lavender room is fabulous. Great interior design, modern and very clean. The food was fantastic, fresh fruit and home made pancakes severed in the room. This is one of the best B&Bs in the U.S. or abroad.

This was a wonderful, close (coming from IN), quiet getaway for my boyfirend & I. The first time for Valentine’s weekend, we stayed in the Rose room. The first time we stayed in Rose room, it was a bigger room and had a mini-​frig and jacuzzi tub. The 2nd visit during the summer, I chose the Sunflower room which had a gas fireplace and the jacuzzi tub but with a balcony this time, no frig. However, with the balcony, it was a smaller room than the Rose but just as nice.
All breakfasts were divine. During our first stay, we had pumpkin pancakes with sausage, eggs, fruit & juice. And the next day was a wonderful veggie quiche with asparagus & fruit! Her quiche is phenomenal! During our 2nd stay, we had banana nut pancakes with sausage, eggs, fruit & juice. And on the 2nd visit we had her famous quiche again, so good! And both visits we had her cherry-​rhubarb cobbler, which was delish!
The owners, Paula & Jerry, are very friendly and really helped to make us feel at home! They were very knowledgable of restaurants and things to do in the area. The area is great and only a short drive to many different attractions. I was pleased and am happy for our first stay and our return trip to our new favorite Bed & Breakfast!
Great price for a wonderful stay!

Was a nice quiet stay away from the city life! We stayed in the Sunflower room which had a gas fireplace and nice jetted tub. Breakfast was delicious with a veggie quiche one morning and jam filled French toast the next, with juice and fruit too!
The owners were friendly and really helped to make us feel at home! They were knowledgable and not invasive at all! The area is great and only a short drive to many different attractions. I was pleased and am happy for our first stay ever at a Bed & Breakfast!

Good fun adventure.
It was a surprise present for my bf and a few friends surprised us and showed up as well. The rooms were great and so was jerry! Breakfast was really good and we felt very welcoming.
The hot tub in the room was very worth the extra money. It was a hop skip and a jump from the vineyards tasting locations and just down the street from journeyman and the casino.
Thanks for making our stay wonderful! We will come back in the summer.

This is the first B&B that I’ve stayed at and I had such a wonderful time! From the moment I walked in the door I felt like I was right at home. Paula and Jerry, the owners, made our stay very pleasant. I stayed in the Rose room, which I absolutely loved. Breakfast in the morning was very delicious! I will definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, relaxing weekend!

I had SUCH a great experience here. The owners, Jerry and Paula, couldn’t have been nicer and more accommodating. The breakfast was wonderful and they had great suggestions for fun places to go during our stay. The rooms were so cozy and clean. I loved every minute of it! Will be going back soon!

This is maybe the 10th time that we have stayed at Garden Grove. We love the west coast of MI and Garden Grove. We always stay in the Woodlands Suite which is lovely and huge. The suite has a walk-​in shower a jetted tub, a small kitchen, a separate sitting room and a king bed. Look out the window into trees and you will see carved animals in trees looking back at you.
Jerry & Paula are great hosts. They know the area well and have tons of suggestions on where to go and what to do. They are always willing to make last minute reservations and get us a table or call on our behalf for anything we need Both are accomplished in the kitchen and breakfast is always good. If in the area, head to Garden Grove.

Garden Grove is missing the most important ingredient of a good bed and breakfast.
We have stayed at many other b&b’s and almost all of them have been great. Most provide large rooms and great amenities but it is the wonderful personalities of the owners that make them special. Simply put, the owners make you feel at home. Make you feel that they really enjoy having you visit. They smile and it makes you happy that you chose their b&b for your stay.
Unfortunately, Garden Grove is at the other end of the spectrum. We did not mind the small room, limited public areas or lack of amenities because all were reflected in the price. And all would have been insignificant if the owners were anything like those described in the above paragraph. Unfortunately, both owners do not seem happy with running a b&b and it is noticeable. Ever feel like someone who has overstayed his welcome? Not a great feeling when it is only the first day of our visit and you have another two to follow.
The bottom line is Garden Grove is perfect if you only need is for a low price room. But we have stayed at a number of b&b’s in the area over the years and, if you are looking for a great b&b experience, the others would be a far better choice.

We spent the weekend here for our fifth wedding anniversary. We loved our stay! The house and our room were beautifully decorated without being overdone and tacky. We stayed in the Sunflower room, and enjoyed the in-​room jacuzzi. Jerry and Paula were very nice, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the local restaurants and activities. My wife is gluten-​free, and Paula got some gluten-​free scones from a friend that owns another B&B in town that bakes them. The morning of checkout, Paula gave us an anniversary card and a little present.
All-​in-​all, we felt very much at home and would definitely go back.

We just came back from a stay in the garden room, and loved it! The people were so friendly and accommodating, the room very clean and nicely put together and the area was great for bike rides and walks. A shirt drive to a bunch of wineries and really close t the beach. My hubby and I will definitely be back!

My BF and i went to this place in January. Not much business… anywhere. we knew that. We wanted to get away for a couple of nights. Jerry the owner sent me an email with links to things to do and places to eat. He gave us this information again when we checked in (on a weekday). We didn’t meet Paula his wife.
The next morning we had breakfast. We cleaned up the room a bit. I put the bed sheets on the floor. Big mistake!!! We went out for the day. I phoned jerry at 4pm to tell him we prefer not to have bacon in our 2nd breakfast (17 hours notice). He respondedvery rudely with «you should have emailed me your dietary preferences ahead of time.» In the same rude manner he wanted to know why i stripped the bed. He said they do not wash the sheets everyday if they do not need to be treated. I honestly felt like he was scolding me. I apologized for his inconvience, and said goodbye. He did not respond. He just hung up.
The 1st breakfast that paula delivered to our door, i thanked her. She kept walking and said you’re welcome over her shoulder. The 2nd breakfast she delivered to our door, my BF said thank you. Again, she kept walking and over her shoulder, said, «uh huh.»
What kind of b and b owner behavior is that!!! I have been in the hospitality business a long time, and i have stayed in b and b’s in Ireland. The b and b owner in Ireland could not do enough… and she was at full occupancy.
My bed was not a queen. It was a full. We stayed in the garden retreat. The wet bar sink needed a plunger. I made them aware of a hairline crack in the champagne class (not our fault). They did not thank me. We will not go back, and i will not send anybody to this place. Back to Door County!

We have stayed in many B & Bs over the years & we have never met owners who were not very pleasant– actually Paula was nice but Jerry seemed to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed for 3 days! We told him we had stayed here before & there was no welcome back, nothing. He just was not friendly, chewed us out for where we parked (we parked behind his car & just temporarily, until we unloaded the car). He talked to us like we were idiots!
We had to change rooms due to my husband’s health issues (our oversight, not his) and we thanked Paula for her help & he was just rude.
So many other places to meet nice innkeepers. Grounds are lovely, breakfast was nice, he was helpful with suggestions but… we must have caught him on 3 rough days —
We won’t return–

Wow! What a great stay!
My girlfriend and I went for a wedding in Union Pier and could not have picked a better place to stay. First off, Jerry and Paula are amazing inkeepers. They are helpful, friendly and incredibly great cooks. We stayed in the Arbor Room. The bed was great, and the room was very clean.
I cannot wait to go back!

For our third anniversary my girlfriend Cindy surprised me by staying at the Garden Grove bread and breakfast. I thought that it was utterly amazing.
The location was fantastic to go sight seeing and vineyards. Also we stayed at the sunflower room, which had lots of great touches. We had popcorn and chocolate provided, our room had a lovely fireplace, and even a jacuzzi!
The innkeepers Paula and Jerry are absolutely lovely, and the breakfasts were utterly amazing and delicious. Even though we arrived late, Jerry welcomed us with open arms.
If you are looking for a great getwaway, make sure to come here and tell them Cindy and Eric sent you!

My wife and I have spent about six fun filled weekends at Garden Grove Bed & Breakfast. We have stayed at several different B&B’s, but this one is by far our favorite. The owners (Paula & Jerry) are extremely friendly, helpful and great cooks to boot (the breakfasts are so good)! The rooms are nicely appointed, especially our favorite room — The Woodlands Suite (very spacious with king sleigh bed, two person jacuzzi tub, wifi, firdge & wet bar, gas fireplace, and a sitting area with large windows. The grounds of the B&B are beautiful as well.
Union Pier is a wonderful location for a weekend get-​a-​way for Chicagoans. Only about an hour away, but such a different vibe. Once at Garden Grove the B&B itself is so nice we often spend a good amount of time just enjoying our space there, but there is a ton to do within a short drive. The beach is nearby, the B&B has bicycles you can borrow for free, there are several wineries a short drive away, lots of restaurants to choose from, a casino, an outlet mall, fruit picking orchards, golf courses etc. Definitely something for everybody. It is also a very relaxing place to go off season as well and have found the locals to be especially friendly when staying there off season. Paula and Jerry are very knowledgeable about the area and if you let them know your interests they will provide you with good recommendations of sites or activities to take in.
I strongly urge anybody looking for fun weekend away from Chicago to take a look at Garden Grove; it is such a great choice for celebrating a special occasion or just for a fun, relaxing get-​a-​way.
