Orchard House Bed and Breakfast Business Description: Situated on 12 beautiful acres of farmland just outside the historic and picturesque Village of Granville, Orchard House Bed and Breakfast blends timeless farm style with the modern comforts of today. Our decor features antiques and artwork from throughout the world, including a handcrafted dining room table carved from reclaimed wood from Ohio barns. Our gourmet breakfasts are locally sourced and highlight products from central Ohio farms and businesses. Whether you decide to walk the grounds, feeding llamas and collecting chicken eggs, or explore the local downtown or countryside, Orchard House is prepared to make your stay as relaxing as possible.
Originally built in the 1850’s, Orchard House Bed and Breakfast is located on 12 acres in Granville, Ohio and has been home to local prominent members of the Granville community. In the 1950s, it was the first licensed home for alcoholics in Ohio, The Daley House. Saved from demolition in 1969, the house was restored as a family home. The former Granville Manor Bed and Breakfast operated on the site in the 1990’s. After passing between several owners over the last decade, Orchard House is again a bed and breakfast, offering an atmosphere cognizant of its long history with all the modern comforts expected of superior lodging.
Orchard House’s farm offer guests the opportunity to interact with our resident animals, including llamas, sheep, and numerous poultry that roam freely from pasture to pasture. We offer a special package that allows for guests to lend a helping hand on the farm, experiencing all aspects of animal care. White-tailed deer and other wildlife indigenous to Ohio continue to walk the land, from the Christmas Tree Forest to our orchard. Living in harmony with our natural surroundings, as the sun sets, sip a glass of wine and enjoy the beauty that unfolds before your eyes.
Whether to escape the city for a weekend in the country or to visit or spend time with someone you love, Andrew and Don welcome you to our farm to enjoy some country relaxation in sophisticated style.
Orchard House celebrates the history of the time it was built through its guest rooms. The Walden Room honors the rich literary accomplishments of the New England transcendental authors, including Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, and includes a queen sized bed and detached private bath. Looking abroad, the Barbizon Room respects the artists of Europe, and their invaluable contributions to combined knowledge of painting and the evolution of technique. This room features a king size bed and an attached bath.

Orchard House…not your typical B&B. I mean that in the absolute best of ways. Orchard House is a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The rooms were charming, clean, and tastefully decorated. I tend to avoid B&B stays because I find that most have overwhelming Victorian décor…much too busy for my tastes, and Orchard House was just what the décor doctor ordered. I chose the Whitman room for my stay, which I found to be incredibly comfortable. The bed wrapped it’s arms around me like a cloud. The linens were soft yet crisp. The bathroom was immaculately clean and modern, complete with Gilchrist and Soames products.
Interesting conversation was at the top of the order during wine and cheese hour with the wonderful proprietors, Don and Andrew. And talk about a fabulous breakfast? Try hot corn cakes served with hot pure maple syrup, perfectly done brown sugar bacon, a heaping bowl of fresh strawberries, cold fresh orange juice and hot coffee. The food is heavy on natural local products and the quality shows. Andrew also makes some killer jams in his kitchen, and I managed to take away a jar of what is sure to be a blue ribbon winner at the Ohio State Fair this year…Carrot Cake Jam. My elderly mother has managed to down the whole jar…she thinks it is just this side of heaven!
My only regret was that I had to check out early when a possible appointment in Columbus became a reality and I had to quickly pack and be on my way. You can be assured that I will be visiting Don and Andrew at Orchard House again.

I was tired of staying in the traditional hotel and was looking for something unique. I found it at Orchard House. It really is like staying at a farm, without the work. The rooms are decorated tastefully, while maintaining the integrity of the centuries old farm house. You have your privacy, as the owners live next door, but don't worry, they are never far away if you need something. Just ask and they will take you to see the animals out back (llamas to baby chicks...don't miss the lamb, he's precious). The evening wine and cheese gathering is the perfect time to relax and casually chat with Andrew and Don about Orchard House, as it seems like everything, including the names of the animals, has an interesting anecdote to accompany it. Find out the history of the farm house and all that went into the renovation. Waterloo, the baby lamb, was born there, so you can hear about that first hand. From animals and artwork, to the interesting lamps, old books, hand crafted and antique furniture (the dining room table is spectacular), you can spend hours browsing this B & B as if you were in a museum. Homemade breakfast and fresh baked goods, combined with the unique charm and comfort you will find at Orchard House will keep you coming back when you are in Granville or just need a short respite from City life. For those of you who are wondering, the rooms are clean and very nicely decorated; the bathrooms are fully renovated. Sure, it looks and feels like country, however it is only a few short miles to the Denison campus. I highly recommend Orchard House to any Denison parent or visiting alumni. Students at Denison love family visitors, but they are still plenty busy on the weekends and typically can't entertain you every minute. You will have moe than enough to keep you occupied during your visit to Orchard House. What a great place to stay!

My wife and I stayed 3 nights for a nearby wedding and could not have asked for more. They've got all the big things sorted – beautiful rooms, amazing home-cooked breakfasts, beautiful common rooms, all the usual amenities in high quality – but what makes this place particularly special is their attention to small details: like complimentary home-cooked pastries, quality coffees and teas available at all times; a superb and original decorative/artistic sense; Netflix and Pandora on demand; making and then turning down the bed morning and eve; and much more… And the setting is also special, with animals around but by no means invading or causing allergic reactions for my typically quite sensitive wife. Enjoy a hearty breakfast and take a walk through the fields out back before going about your business in Columbus or quaint Granville. A pleasure all around!
