History

Established in 1989.

In 1927, construction began on the Tudor Revival house designed for auto baron Irving Jacob Reuter and his wife, Janet. Mr. Reuter was General Manager and President of the Oldsmobile Corporation. The Reniger Construction Co. of Lansing completed the 10,000 square foot house early the next year with "countryhouse" plans drafted by Harold Childs of East Lansing. Named "Medovue" by the Reuters, the property currently sits on 15 acres with the original pergola, swimming pool and gazebo as well as an artesian well, fishpond, annual and perennial gardens, and nature trails.

In 1989 the property was renovated and converted to an Inn, restaurant and banquet hall. It is now owned by Gary and Donna Nelson.

Once again, the gracious spirit of the past thrives throughout the Inn, with its wealth of fine antiques, massive fireplaces and handcrafted woods and, as it once was during the Reuter's tenure, fine dining and hospitality are the order of the evening at The English Inn.

Occasionally, when you may least expect it, you come across a spot in the world where time seems to have stood still, where graciousness of spirit and personal attention to detail still thrive, where the hustle and bustle of the modern world are shut and the lingering taste of a good Burgundy on your palate is all that matters. The English Inn is just such a place.

Beautiful establishment. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Bartender took great care of me and offered drink advice leading to one of the best cocktails I've ever enjoyed. The food was delicious, all four in my group were beyond happy with their food choice. We will be back to sample more. The English Inn is well known in the area for their great food as well as their bed and breakfast. You won't regret it.

From the beginning, I did not have a good experience planning my wedding at English Inn. Prior to 2017, I sincerely loved English Inn the few times I went (pretty landscaping with good food), hence my reason for planning my wedding there. I had a lot of problems reaching the Wedding Planner for weeks. My fiancee and I put down a deposit in May 2017. Shortly after, we realized that our dream wedding was in another location. I reached out to English Inn hoping to donate my deposit to another grateful bride, as I understood my nonrefundable deposit was not likely to be reimbursed, even 1.5year in advance. Not only was the owner rude, but accused me of "blackmailing" by offering to change my 1 star review if their company was willing to be charitable to our community. I am disappointed in this company and their poor customer service. I would not suggest this venue to future brides. Giving is what makes the world go 'round and this company is only interest in making money. Good place for dinner, but not the kind of people I was hosting my dream wedding.

My husband and I went to celebrate our 1 year anniversary, and it was a wonderful experience. The service was superb, and the food was the best meal I've had while dining out. It's a beautiful inn with a stunning view. I can't recommend this place enough!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the English Inn and it could not have been more perfect! Our guests raved about the food, the grounds and the superior service that was given. Amber, our wedding coordinator, was so professional and helpful from the very beginning until the end. Anything that we missed, she thought of. Rebecca was in charge of our cocktail hour and our reception, and she also was fantastic. She would check in and make sure everything was going well and kept everything moving. All of the staff was very helpful and accommodating and I can't say enough about the beautiful facilities.
