The Guesthouse Perrysburg-East side

The story of Diane Rogers has its consummate roots in nothing but food.
Born the niece of bandleader and restaurant owner,
Guy Lombardo and daughter to the Westhampton, Inne owners,
Sid and Rosemarie Rogers,
Diane jumped into the food business feet first. As a teen she studied in Lausanne, Switzerland as a Fille du Buffet and returned a second and third time with her sister Syd, to better realize the European lifestyle.
Together, they put their learning to use and began catering everything from private parties for the U.S.Open in 1979, to the Toledo Museum of Art's
El Greco exhibit. All this led to the opening of their restaurant, fittingly named Syd & Diane's.
Later, a specialty delicatessen was opened to supply the freshly made and packaged "Incredible brand" recipes that were being served in the restaurant. With no sign, no name and no phone, the women were an instant success with their devoted clientele and Diane had the chance to fine tune her incredible formulas until they were ready to hit the market.
Diane has written recipes for one of the finest cookware companies,
has served on several charity committees,
and is currently working on a cookbook.looooooo9

Together as sisters we have gone down many paths together!

This is a very interesting house with a very interesting history.
It was built in 1860 as a church. In the early 1900's 2 brothers bought it and converted it into a duplex/townhouse which they rented out. In 1982 the 2 sisters, Syd & Diane bought it for the fast growing catering business. The house needed serious remodeling, from cloth covered wiring to taking down a poured concrete garage with a sledge hammer, taking out a wall to make a much larger kitchen with tiled floor, raised garden beds in the back and front of house to grow herbs and flowers that were hard to find, putting 2 large decks on the back to be able to separate the residence from the business, building a new garage closer to the alley with an arbor that went from garage to deck with beautiful old fashioned, highly scented, climbing roses, and on and on! A year or so later, someone came knocking on the door and wanted us to open a restaurant in his "ice cream & pizza" business, located just across the alley in the back. So, in just a short time with no name, and no sign the restaurant became a huge success. Up went the wall in the kitchens and we remolded once again! Fast forward 20 years and both of us went to live with mom who was appreciative of the help and the company. That led to the creation of the bed and breakfast that was already off the ground and becoming more and more successful by word of mouth as was the restaurant. Since entertaining seems to be in the DNA of both sisters, and the location is beyond perfect with plenty of parking, the house has seen many old and new friends in and out stopping over to say hi, sharing lots of laughs, great food & drink and lots of fun!
From a Church in 1860 to 2 brothers to 2 sisters as the only owners...one comes in and feels immediately at home and comfortable.

The location is very unique in that it is steps away from downtown Perrysburg, with, plenty of parking, and very close to Downtown Toledo, Lake Erie, (bird migration watching in April and May!), The Toledo Museum of Art, The Toledo Zoo, Hollywood Casino and so much more! Within walking distance are many shops and restaurants, and May through September on Thursday Nights is the Perrysburg Farmers Market. Take a stroll around the market, (on the sidewalk of downtown Perrysburg) then enjoy the music from the back deck! Makes for a relaxing evening!
Great location but very private!
You will feel at home and very comfortable.
