Once we arrived it was easy to call the listed number and get let in, which happened quickly despite our being after the agreed upon arrival time. Skylar then showed us around and left us to enjoy the room. She had their two children with them which was fun and gave the space more of the local family feel. We didn't hear them during the rest of our stay so no worries about late night cries etc. The house is beautiful and our room had a private bath with a huge jacuzzi tub. There was a window ac unit as well as a fan so we stayed comfy at night and even outside fireworks weren't too noticeable. We were a handy 10 minute walk to a multitude of restaurants and cute parks plus the river walk. There was also a parking spot at the house so we could leave the car and not worry as we walked in the city. The breakfast was especially tasty and Skylar made extra effort to accommodate our dietary needs by making something totally different for me (veggie hash with toast and yogurt all vegan). The fruit, juice and coffee for all were tastefully laid out and made for a refreshing breakfast experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would stay here again!

Just returned from a wonderful stay at The Lafayette House in Grand Rapids. My daughter and I were…read morein town to attend a concert at the Van Andel Arena. Did I mention it is WALKING DISTANCE to the Van Andel??!! Note the walk back is gradually uphill. A couple that we spoke with during breakfast mentioned they also walked back. The husband said he has a bad knee and felt it a little bit on the return but would definitely do it again. Todd and Skyelar's home is beautiful and bright. We stayed in Room 2 which is also bright yet cozy at the same time. Our room had a Keurig coffee maker which was great! I will just have to remember to bring some tea with us next time as we love our tea. I didn't think to ask for any so I can't fault anyone but myself! The bath products are provided and smell amazing! I actually wrote the name of the brand down as I am going to order some for home. We really appreciated having an extra power strip in the room. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious with local products. Cinnamon raisin bread French toast, bacon that was perfectly prepared, fresh fruit, orange juice and hot coffee. I look forward to returning to The Lafayette House!

We enjoyed the heated pool outside during the day and the jacuzzi tub in the room in the evening. This was a wonderful way to spend our mini moon after our wedding! We will definitely be booking again in the future. We would love to try out another themed room.

The B&B was right next to the lake and had an amazing view. All of the lake side windows had breathtaking lake views and the B & B in itself was wonderfully decorated! The aesthetics of this place were modern beach house. The room was well decorated as well and was very clean. It was spacious and it had all the amenities that we needed. In the morning the breakfast was delicious and homemade! Coffee was fresh and really good. Overall it was a fantastic day and I would highly recommend to a friend.

We were fortunate enough to come across this elegant bed and breakfast while searching online for a last minute weekend getaway. Our dog shares the same name as this B&B so we took that as a sign that this was our place. We stayed in the Lilley Suite. It was especially beautiful. The bathtub is perfect. I've never left a review about a bathtub. This one is just exceptional in terms of how comfortable it is to soak in. We loved our breakfast and the coffee. Patrick, and everyone we met, were welcoming and fun to chat with. The dining room is so special! We loved the plants and the ambience. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The Lilley Mansion is absolutely delightful in every way!

The owner and operator, Patrick, is a gift to the lakeshore community. He is a visionary artist and it is evident in everything he touches--from the way he decorated the manse, to the way he plated the food--everything has an artist's touch. Cassie, who really is the engine behind the operations, is one of the best event planners I have ever interacted with. She is cool, calm, collected and an absolutely brilliant problem solver. Together, these two come together and bring to life everything you didn't even realize you wanted or needed at your special event. The rooms are absolutely luxe, and each bathroom is equipped with an amazing soaking tub. All of my 36 guests who attended my intimate wedding could not stop raving about every single detail. I will be forever grateful to Patrick, Cassie and the entire Lilley team for taking such exquisite care of us. We will remember our wedding because it was perfect down to the tiny little details. If you are looking for a unique wedding experience, this is the place to have it!

I've been to two weddings at River Edge Bed & Breakfast and both were spectacular. I was a…read moregroomsman at one of the events and thought everything was orchestrated wonderfully. The property is beautifully maintained and the staff is kind & helpful. I'd consider this venue more of a natural (beautiful landscape) & classier location rather than a party spot. There are plenty of scenic locations for photography and the pavilion is great for hosting guests. Overall, I'd highly recommend River Edge B&B as long as you treat the venue with respect & follow the rules of the owners. Regarding rules - They are the same as other outdoor venues I've been to: No outside alcohol, City noise restrictions, treat the property with respect. Overall, nothing but good things to say about this venue. I hope to visit again soon

The venue is absolutely beautiful and and we had a beautiful wedding there. I had some feedback for…read moreBill (the owner) and tried to give it privately but I now feel that I have to share this with prospective renters for this venue. Some of the other reviews are absolutely correct, they will sit at a picnic table and watch you. This is in the contract that you will sign but there's nothing like seeing it in person to make you feel judged and watched. They do allow you to serve alcohol but there is extreme judgement there that you would want to serve it and they are waiting for things to go wrong. They do have 2 handicap spots but if someone tries to park there that is handicapped they will tell you that you have to move your car. They prefer the aesthetic of no vehicles parked down there. There are spots for beautiful pictures but be firm in what you want and what your photographer thinks are the best shots. Bill is adamant that he knows when and where to take the phots and does not like to hear otherwise. Again, I tried to share this with him in private and his response was to attack my character. This is obviously something that he has been told before and he does not care to hear it. I will not share everything that he said but his last words: "In my opinion, you have just demonstrated what a totally unreasonable, inconsiderate person you are. I wish you had been up front with us in the first place, which would have given us the foreknowledge and opportunity to to decline the wedding. Examine Yourself!!"
