History

Established in 1989. In 1927, construction began on the Tudor Revival house designed for auto baron Irving Jacob Reuter and his wife, Janet. Reuter was General Manager and President of the Oldsmobile Corporation. 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.
