A Midsummers Night(or Day) dream!

That's right...come to the Milford Guesthouse Bed and Breakfast
and you might think your in a wonderful dream place this summer.
The weather has been so summer like...nice and sunny and warm! And it seems to only rain at night! The pool will surely cool you off, and help you relax as you gaze upon the gardens.

OH my, we have had lots and lots of guests this summer! Our pool as really been enjoyed! What great guests we have had...Back in early June...the weddings, from great wedding guests, to the bridesmaids, and the bride enjoying their pre-wedding party here. The day of the wedding, arrival of the hair stylest and makeup people turning these already lovely ladies even more lovely in preparations for the big event! Mom of the bride and even Grandma where here to join in the excitement! The Guesthouse was a-hopping, and it was great fun. All were able to enjoy a luncheon as everyone got ready.

All of June and so far in July, we have had some very cool, interesting guests. They have come from all over to visit family here in Milford. Graduations, weddings, anniversaries, reunions. It warms my heart to have everyone enjoying the facilities.
The weather has been great most of the time, however we did have a pretty big storm blow threw one night. (didn't loose power..thank goodness) but, lots of stuff blew in the pool...and wouldn't you know, a guest wanted to go for an early morning swim! Upon checking things out, we discovered not only was the pool a bit dirty, a dead mole was in there too!(too bad for the mole!) Anyway, upon our sincere apology about the condition, the mole was fished out, and our guest went in for the swim, claiming he lived on a lake and the pool was cleaner the a lake! He didn't mind, and afterwords enjoyed breakfast, poolside, with his lovely wife.

We had a wonderful family here, to visit other family members, and they ALL came over for breakfast one morning. We had a houseful of 8 and they enjoyed blueberry pancakes and bacon and egg pizza! The kids all loved it. After breakfast they all enjoyed a dip in the pool, and after that went to Kensington and did the water slide there! All had a blast!

We have been fortunate enough to have met guests from all over the county this summer, as well as the world! California, Florida, Colorado, Minnesota, Arizona, New York, Pennsylvania, Sweden, Germany, and even many local people, Livonia, South Lyon, Commerce...the list goes on and on.

So, now we have August already at our heels!!! Summer will be gone before you know it. There are lots of festivals and events going on in Milford and Kensington Metro Park, you wont want to miss. Make sure and book a few days here at the Guesthouse and enjoy!
Cant wait to meet you!
