Boyden House looks nice from the outside, great front porch.  BUT it’s falling apart.  The chair in our room had four extremely wobbly legs and I feared it would break if I sat in it.  The sofa in the common room sunk to the floor when sat in.  Some people call old charming but here it’s uncomfortable and unsafe.  Blinds in our room were broken.
Breakfast is one option served from 9:00-9:30 with no flexibility.  Not very accommodating.

Falling apart

This is a beautiful bed and breakfast and the location was excellent to walk to downtown.  The room was very clean and comfortable.  My complaint is that the breakfast was the skimpiest breakfast I have ever experienced at a bed and breakfast especially considering the cost to stay here.  The breakfast consisted of yogurt with granola and fruit and a couple of slices of ham.  We did walk to a wonderful bakery for a cinnamon roll because we were still hungry.  This will probably keep me from staying here again.

Disappointing Breakfast 

This beautiful bed and breakfast has many lovely rooms to stay in .  The home is centrally located to multiple eateries and shopping downtown.  As well as several other towns you may want to see.  Shelly manages the home and does and outstanding job.  She prepares wonder breakfast daily, and baked cookies in the evening.  She overs you great hospitality and conversation.  Shelly thank you so much for making our vacation there fabulous .

Highly recommended bed and breakfast.

Stayed at the Boyden House over the 4th this year, in the honeymoon room. Pros: great location… easy walk of 7 blocks to main downtown. Honeymoon room has its own entrance and small private balcony. Shelley was friendly and made a good breakfast. Cons: room is very tired… furniture and bed are old and need replacing. Small frig in room would be ideal since only frig is a steep 2nd floor up in main house. Carpeting is old brown shag. Blinds in definite need of repair. Water pressure in shower is very low and takes a long time to heat up.

Great location, tired room

My husband and I love to walk when we visit cities and the Boyden House is a 5 min walk into town. The neighborhood is beautiful, well lit, and we always felt safe walking back at night. We stayed in the Safari Den room that is quite spacious, but I must admit it needs a new paint job. Its so dark in that room even with the lights on and blinds open. Some furniture could use replacing, there were some noticeable rips in the fabrics. I will say though the Safari Den room seemed private away from other rooms a bit and with nothing but the kitchen and dining area below us we never felt like we weren't disturbing anyone. Our host and Innkeeper Shelly, was so great! Always greeted you with a smile and gave us the inside scoop of what was happening downtown. My only other suggestion to the management is to maybe list on a board what will be served at breakfast in the morning. We had baked Oatmeal and yogurt and my husband was not a fan, we probably would have skipped it if we would have known ahead of time. So some pros and cons but nothing that we felt ruined our stay and we would absolutely stay here again.

Location, location, location!

Beautiful place!  Lovely room with plenty of space, very clean, beautiful grounds. Exceptional hospitality, delicious breakfast on the porch.  We only stayed one night but would gladly go back for a longer stay.  Highly recommend it!

Wonderful!

My teenage daughter and I stayed here for 2 nights as we traveled around Michigan. The House is beautiful from the outside, and I absolutely love the front porch. Shelly was very welcoming, and it smelled like her afternoon chocolate chip cookies when we arrived. Everything we could have needed was in the room. We stayed in the safari den. Parking is very convenient. Within walking distance to downtown, although we did drive. Would recommend!

Super convenient to downtown Grand Haven!

It was such a great stay and breakfast was amazing both days. We would definitely stay here again in the future. Shelly was very kind and hospitable. The location is great, within walking distance of the downtown area and even the beach. Cabaret Suite was very cute, private, and had everything we needed!

Best B&B in Grand Haven

Our host met us at the door when we arrived.  From that point forward we had nothing but a positive experience.  The house was beautiful, clean, and well maintained.  That goes a long way.  It will be difficult to not compare all future B&B experiences with this facility.  It was a great location for Grand Haven.  We will stay here again in the future.

Exemplary Bed and Breakfast

We stayed here for our wedding anniversary. 
Pros: The hostess was very upbeat and friendly. The home is very cute and parking was good. We stayed in the Love Nest and the room was spacious. The balcony was nice. The breakfast was decent. Location was easy to find. Covid restrictions were followed and it felt clean and safe. 
Cons: The bed was SO UNCOMFORTABLE. It was so hard and our bodies ached so much that we actually got up early on our last day and left to go catch a nap at home. They should at the very least put a mattress pad on the bed. It might be better to just replace it altogether. The lighting was terrible. I have bad eyesight and moving around after dark was difficult. The common areas were not available. No furniture on the cute porch because of Covid. The "walking distance " to downtown was a bit of a stretch but more active people would enjoy it. 
Overall this would have been a great stay, but we will not be back because of the beds, which seem to be an issue in multiple reviews. Please fix this Boyden House owners!
