I had a good three-night stay at Boyden House Inn. the cozy executive suite was beautifully decorated with wooden floors and a charming fireplace. Breakfast was nice. each day brought a unique and delicious meal served on the lovely patio. The location was ideal, just a short walk to downtown, though the trek to the beach took a little longer. The landscaping was exquisite, featuring a peaceful koi pond that added to the charm.

I had a wonderful stay at the Boyden House Inn, which offered a cozy escape from my routine. The cleanliness and comfortable accommodations were impressive, and I particularly enjoyed the warm atmosphere created by the hosts. However, the breakfast selection could use some improvement, as it felt a bit limited compared to what I expected from a bed and breakfast. Overall, it was a lovely experience, but the dining aspects could be more satisfying. 😊

I had a good stay at the Boyden House Inn. The location was perfect, situated in a quiet neighborhood yet still within walking distance to the riverfront in Grand Haven. The breakfast was nothing short of amazing, featuring unique dishes that I still think about. However, I did wish the check-in process had a bit more guidance, as it felt a little rushed. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would gladly return.

I had a great stay at Boyden House, and the location was a big plus. just a 5-minute walk into town. The Safari Den room was quite spacious, but it definitely needs a little sprucing up. the lighting was somewhat dim, and some of the furniture showed signs of wear. Shelly, our innkeeper, was incredibly hospitable and made us feel welcome. I do wish breakfast had more variety, as it was a little skimpy, but overall, I enjoyed my time there and would consider returning.

I had a pleasant stay at the Boyden House, enjoying its beautiful vintage charm and convenient location just a short walk from downtown. Shelly, the hostess, provided a good breakfast each morning, including homemade baked oatmeal and French toast that really stood out. However, I found the bed in my room uncomfortable, which detracted from the overall experience. The common areas were limited because of Covid restrictions, making it a bit less cozy than I had hoped.
