Greencrest Manor
Bed and Breakfast

Greencrest Manor, a mansion in the French-Normandy style of architecture, offers pastoral serenity as reflected by the surrounding beauty of Michigan's St. Mary's Lake.

Located just seven minutes from downtown Battle Creek and halfway between Detroit and Chicago, this European manor is an ideal stop for business executives looking for a comfortable alternative to hotel accommodations. Begun as the private home of one of Battle Creek's most prominent residents, the estate was used as a Catholic monastery during the 1960's, and some 25 years later, Tom and Kathy VanDaff restored the manor to its former glory.

Greencrest Manor's spacious reception and banquet facilities accommodate up to 200 people, and eight beautiful rooms, six with private baths, provide overnight lodging. The VIP Suite, popular for those seeking a romantic interlude, features a double whirlpool, fireplace, and large down sofa. All rooms are air conditioned and come with cable television and telephones. Lovely rolling meadows serve as the perfect venue for special-occasion garden parties and weddings.

Greencrest Manor is set in the elegant tradition of Europe's finest hotels, but the warm and casual atmosphere reminds one of home. It quite simply is a retreat to European yesteryear with all of the conveniences of modern-day America -- an invigorating experience you won't soon forget.
