What a gorgeous property! Need to relax and be totally taken care of down to the detail?? Then this is the right place for you…we stayed in Tulip room. The Garden House bnb was beautiful, every room has a waterfront view, cleaned immaculately, water toys available, delicious gourmet breakfast daily. The coffee is AMAZING. Todd and Shannon clearly care about the guests here. You can tell they are living their dream and passion. Todd is the energizer bunny. He knows what you need before you ask and is like a lightening bolt running around serving and helping you. Todd did a complimentary boat ride at sunset and it was honestly the icing on the cake for us. He is so sweet!! Breakfast is very tasty! Everything is just perfect. Book now!

My husband and I stayed here after the New years holiday for our 25th anniversary. We could not believe how gorgeous this house is! It's incredibly clean, smells wonderful thanks to the candles around the house, and the view is BREATHTAKING!! Todd and Shannon take the best care of you while you are there. Todd cooked us a delicious gourmet breakfast both mornings and told us tips about the area, things to do and other helpful information. Also, we stayed in the Rose room and it has it's own deck overlooking the lake and a jacuzzi tub. Another nice touch. I can't wait until we can return. Thank you, Todd and Shannon. We are recommending this place to others too!

I want to start out by saying I NEVER leave reviews. I just need to make sure and leave for this!! My friends and I all stayed at the garden House B&B. Todd (the owner now) had taken it over from lil. Him, his wife and son made sure we had the best experience as possible. The food was AMAZING! the rooms where very clean. They were cleaned every morning it was great to come back to vacuumed floors. The grounds were out standing. I have nothing bad to say about this B&B. My friends and myself will not hesitate before booking with The Garden House B&B.

The rooms throughout this beautiful home were so spacious, clean and relaxing. You did not feel like you were spending time in someone else's place. You felt welcome to roam the three levels and sit and take in the quietness of the house and the lake. Kick your shoes off at the front door and enter to a scenic view of the lake. The security at the front door, assured you that you were safe and would not have to worry about anything. Todd, your host has lake "toys" available for your use down at the dock. Even fishing poles! His morning creation of food, (calling it breakfast, just isn't right) appears on your private balcony at your leisure. No rush to get up at a certain time to eat. Each morning was fun to wake up to see the creative and healthy treat he made for us with our personal food choices. The gardens maintained by Shannon were beautiful and fragrant. The many hummingbirds entertained us each morning from our balcony as we watched the beautiful lake come to life. Wish you much success, Todd and Shannon.

Wow! What a wonderful experience we had! Todd & Shannon were excellent hosts. They have a beautiful home, right on the lake, with a large dock that offers a small bar for guest use, fire table with chairs and lounge chairs to relax and soak in the sun. A deck with a hot tub that overlooks the lake where you experience beautiful views. Each guest room has a lake view with a deck and private seating where you can be served a delicious breakfast homemade by Todd. There's something for everyone: relaxation, water activities, historical sites, hiking, shopping, so many dining options, wineries, and so much more. This weekend was beyond our expectations. Thank you Todd and Shannon!

Staying here is better than any hotel or resort at the lake. The house is beautiful. Besides your room, there is a gorgeously furnished living room to sit in and enjoy the views, and another sitting room downstairs with a pool table. The owners (Todd and Shannon) are so kind and chatty at breakfast, but then you don’t see them the rest of the day. This makes it feel like you aren’t staying in someone’s house, even though you are. Todd gave us a ride in his boat one morning to show us around, and allowed us to use his kayaks, paddle boards, and lily pad. We spent a whole afternoon just swimming off the dock and relaxing. This was probably my favorite part- we had the amenities of the lake but it was private as opposed to staying at a resort that would be flooded with people. Todd made absolutely delicious and beautiful breakfast platters at whatever time you wanted them each day. Having it on your patio instead of at the table with all the other guests was perfect. Our room (the rose room) was I believe the most private feeling option since the door was at the end of a hall and the patio was separate from the other room at that floor. The room was beautiful and we loved seeing the water out the sliding glass doors. I will recommend this place to anyone interested in a trip to the lake, and would definitely stay here again if we ever came back. It is a 10 out of 10 stars!!

I don’t know where to begin…from the time you arrive to the time you leave you are treated like royalty. The hosts, Todd and Shannon, are so welcoming and ensure you have the best stay possible. The breakfast each morning is a wonderful, culinary delight. Having breakfast served to you on your own private deck overlooking the lake is amazing. The Garden House B & B is a beautiful place to stay!

We stayed 2 nights on New Years Eve and New Years Day and cannot express enough of how nice our hosts Todd & Shannon were and how comfortable the facility is. Loved every minute of our time. Beds are comfortable, view is fantastic, breakfast delicious with wonderful presentation, conversation with the owners when we wanted it was intriguing.

We LOVE the Garden House B&B! It's absolutely perfectly clean and *right* on the lake! Todd serves your breakfast on the balcony and honestly, that was my favorite part. Both Todd and Shannon are amazing hosts - so friendly and willing to discuss activity/dining options. We loved this place so much that we are gifting weekend stays to our family for Christmas. Do not hesitate to book here! You won't be disappointed. It's the perfect place for a relaxing, unplugged getaway.

We were there for two nights for our anniversary. It's a beautiful place, right on the water. Todd and Shannon are so kind and work very hard to provide a great experience. We enjoyed shooting pool, relaxing on the deck, napping, and the gourmet breakfasts were wonderful. They have a hot tub and kayaks for guests to use. It was so quiet and peaceful, but within driving distance to the Bagnell strip. Also, Uber and Door Dash service the area if you don't feel like driving. Hope we can stay there again someday.
