We had an 'off-season' deal ($102/night incl. tax) which was good value for money. The house is great and the rooms are nice, with comfortable beds and a lot of space. The shared areas are as described by previous reviewers, and we enjoyed using them. The breakfast was very tasty, with good coffee - you do need to come down... More

Beautiful old home, with fantastic architectural details. Lovely porch and gardens. Our room was the "sunroom" with a comfortable queen bed. There was a window air conditioner in our bedroom and central air for the bathroom and sitting area. Not sure why. We did get a little warm at night in the bedroom area because we don't like the noise... More

We really enjoyed the Boyden House! It was a different experience than other B&B's we have stayed at. The hosts are much more hands off... Which was a style we liked though it may not be for everyone. The house is stylish, not fru fru which is cool. We like to walk, and it was only a half mile from... More

Our room was very nice with a comfortable bed, balcony and flat screen tv with a dvd player. The rooms are on the second floor. There is a library on the second floor with dvds, cds, books magazines, restaurant menus and the history of the inn. There is also a small kitchen on the second floor if you need to... More

We were not greet upon arrival but were finally acknowledged ("Are you staying here?") and shown to our room. The room cleanliness was okay but there was no soap for the shower (only a hand pump next to the sink). The coffee grounds consisted of about 3T in a very old Ziploc baggie. For $280, we expected MUCH more.

We stayed at the Boyden House from Sunday 6/19 til Tuesday 6/21. Upon arriving, we were greeted by the owner. He showed us around and gave us some tips on where to go in Grand Haven. Our room (the Executive Suite) was very nice. Breakfast was excellent (especially the baked oatmeal)! Overall, we would definitely stay here again. Short walk... More

I can't say enough about this B&B. The Boyden House is beautiful. The rooms are amazing; each different from the rest. The service from reservations to check out was great. Breakfast was delicious. I wish we could have stayed longer and will definltey back. The Boyden House strives to make it's guests feel at home, and it definitely succeeds with... More

I had planned a weekend getaway at the Boyden House April 15th-17th to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. This was our first visit to Grand Haven, as I'm used to traveling to the Caribbean for getaways and vacations, but wanted to do something out of the ordinary; something to explore a little closer to home. I wanted to unwind and enjoy... More

My boyfriend and I were guests at the Boyden House a week ago. We had the most wonderful experience there! The breakfast was excellent! The oatmeal was my favorite. :) We had the Cabaret Room which featured a sitting room and a double jacuzzi. If you are looking to be romantic, the Cabaret Room is the room to get. Honestly,... More

We had reservations for a previous weekend and live near Detroit and called the day of to cancel and they were so understanding and kind. The inn keepers rescheduled us. Then they gave us an upgrade for no additional cost. The breakfast was amazing! Especially as a vegetarian. We definitely plan on returning.
