Battle Creek, MI is... ~1 hr 30 mins from Niles, MI ~1 hr 50 mins from South Bend, IN ~2 hr 45 mins from Chicago, IL Greencrest Manor is a French-Normandy style estate, surrounded by extensive formal gardens, and sits overlooking St. Mary’s Lake. It was first home to George R. Burt, son of a Michigan lumber baron, who came to Battle Creek to pursue a business career. He and his wife, Nellie Zinn, vowed to build a home in their favorite picnic spot overlooking St. Mary’s Lake & was designed based on their travels in Europe. In the early 1960s, the estate was purchased by the Catholic Church and was used as a seminary for nearly 20 years. After falling into disrepair for some time, the property proudly re-opened to the public in the late 1980s as a bed & breakfast. The current owners have since expanded and turned it into the breath taking beauty it is today. We can't wait for you to experience the exquisite tranquility of Greencrest and hope you fall in love with it as much as we did.
