This is our absolute favorite B&B! The house is gorgeous! It is peaceful and quiet! The porches and patio are beautifully landscaped. Shelly is absolutely wonderful!

Our stay was great! Centrally located to the downtown area, walking distance to most! The beach is a little further but not too far! The beds were decent, and everything was clean! Keep in mind this house is a historic house and does come with its share of creaks and old decor. Shelly the host was very welcoming and helpful. All in all I would absolutely stay there again.

Shelly was an amazing host. Highly recommend staying here if ever in grand haven.

Beautiful outside but very shabby inside. Our room was a disaster--outdated furniture and bed, filthy carpet, broken down easy chairs, floor seriously slanting, walls needing paint, etc., etc. We will never stay there again and will not recommend it to our friends. Owner was understanding and cancelled remainder of our stay with no charge--that was the best part.

I have a heavy background in architecture, restoration and historic preservation, plus I lived in Europe...and this is one of the best places I've ever stayed. It's absolutely gorgeous and super clean with plenty of places to relax and enjoy this historic property. The house was very quiet at night for a good nights sleep. The innkeeper is wonderful and makes your stay superior. LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I can't wait to return : )

We were greeted by the host at the front door. B&B is beautiful. Bed was comfortable and breakfast was very good. Grounds were well manicured. We will be booking a stay there again next year.

I was traveling through Grand Haven and chose The Boyden house as my overnight stay. This B&B has a lot of local history, is walking distance to downtown activities and convenient to access roads. Clean, kind, quiet, scenic. I will return when I get back to Grand Haven.

Lovely victorian home! Our private patio, landscaping, breakfast.

Beautiful home and property! We stayed in the Safari Room...the entrance is through the library on the second floor. The bathroom is narrow but not a problem. We were able to enjoy breakfast outside...choice of porches and seating..there is also two dining rooms inside. The breakfast food was tasty...the food is brought to you...no choices, no coffee cakes, no buffet. Coffee is put out at 8am but there is another coffee station upstairs that is always available. Shelly, the hostess-manager, was very informative and helpful. In the evening you can sit outside and watch the neighborhood wildlife (a family of deer) come by for a brief visit! You can easily walk to everything...shopping, restaurants, beach, pier, art fairs, etc. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Safari Den was a spacious, cool room

Perfect - coming back next year!

Shelly is so sweet and helpful! Loved the Koi pond. Room very comfortable. Breakfast was awesome. Beautiful house. Even saw a deer in the driveway!!

We absolutely LOVED this place. Perfect location, amazing town,delicious breakfasts, spectacular innkeeper (Shelli). Even has a refrigerator for the guests to store drinks, leftovers, etc. Both the front porch and back yard areas are fantastic to sit and read or watch the world go by. HIGHLY recommend!

Wonderful experience for our first time in Michigan and at a bed and breakfast. Quaint, walkable area, quiet, relaxing and a delicious breakfast each morning. Shelly, the host, was helpful, prompt and friendly. Highly recommend.

Amazing property. Amazing staff!

Beautiful big late 19th century house with quirky layout and traditional stylings. Shelley greeted us on arrival and was very friendly and helpful. She made us feel right at home. The room was beautiful, clean and spacious with very comfortable bed, reading chairs and private bathroom. Complimentary Snacks, water, tea, coffee and hot chocolate were available in the shared mini kitchen, with microwave and sink. Breakfast was good but no options provided. Shelley served us OJ, french toast and sausage with syrup and fresh pineapple. Plenty of juice and coffee available. The ample patio seating was a highlight and we chose to eat on the front terrace. Quiet neighbourhood 10 mins walk to waterfront/Main Street with many food and beverage options and shopping. On-site parking also available.

FABULOUS B&B in central Grand Haven, walking distance to the boutique/restaurant area, super cute and comfy rooms, classic bathrooms with claw foot tubs. All the modern comforts (eg Kurig coffee) with old world charm!

Shelly was fantastic and very nice. The house was awesome and we loved it. We we will definitely stay there again.

Always enjoy our stay at Boyden

Shelly was very nice and accommodating. The property was in great shape and the room was very nice. Close to everything. Would certainly return the next time.

Boyden House was amazing! We stayed in room 5 (Amber's Room), and could not be happier. The private terrace was amazing to enjoy a summer evening. Host was great and gave good recommendations. Breakfast was delicious. Could not recommend more.

Property was walking distance to the lake.

Shelly is a very friendly host, she greeted us and showed us around the house. The room was very clean and as expected based on pictures. Wonderful area, peaceful neighborhood, and overall great stay!

Very clean and safe

Absolutely loved our stay, better than I imagined, cannot wait to come back

Beautiful old home and friendly inn keeper.

Beautiful historic home with several areas to choose to enjoy. Porches, separate eating areas for breakfast off street parking. Shelly was so friendly and helpful. Our room was quiet and we enjoyed our stay.

Eating breakfast on the porch while enjoying the cooler temperature was great. The town was very walkable and the pier with the lighthouse and beachfront was a highlight of our trip. If we were in the area again, we would stay here and we highly recommend it.

Beautiful property within walking distance of beach & downtown. My room was great!

The Victorian decor was lovely. We enjoyed having a delicious breakfast on the front porch.

We were very pleased with our stay. The Boyden House is a beautiful place. The breakfasts were great. Shelly, our hostess, made sure that everything went smoothly. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is planning a stay in Grand Haven.
