Great visit
Check in was an easy, house was exactly as pictured, very clean and lots of little extras that were greatly appreciated. Only criticism was the bed was very very firm, just not my preferred style. Great place if I visit Grand Rapids again I would rent this house again. Lots of stuff restraints …. Near by.

Labor Day wedding weekend
We had a wonderful stay. We were there for a wedding on Labor Day weekend. The house was in a perfect location for all the festivities we needed to attend. Pre-check in communication with Tracey were answered promptly. The house had everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you.

Family Vacay
We enjoyed our stay here. We didn’t read close enough to the description to notice that the 2 queens were upstairs, and my mother-in-law has bad knees, so my in-laws ended up sleeping on the twin day bed & pull out trundle downstairs. The stairs are pretty steep and I slipped down a couple once or twice. I made my 3 year olds sit down on the stairs to go down. It was pretty warm upstairs but not unbearable (temps outside were in the 80s and the thermostat was downstairs). The beds were comfortable and it was super clean. The shower downstairs was pretty small & the upstairs shower didn’t have a ton of water pressure. Multiple TVs though out the house was a nice touch along with an assortment of snacks and games. The location was pretty close to all the things we wanted to see in Grand Rapids (children’s museum, zoo, & sculpture gardens).

Nice, but fell short on a few items
House listed with 2 Q beds and 4 twins. The Q's were comfortable but, there were 2 twin beds and a day bed. One twin was a metal cot and the other leaned towards the wall and was not level or stable. The day bed was not comfortable as well. There were 6 adults, and the bedding was a problem. The upstairs blinds did not have rods and could not turn open or be closed by hand. The master was missing the covering on the ceiling light revealing exposed bulbs. The outdoor furniture was filthy and we had to wash it before use, the yard was not ready for summer use and there was no wood for the firepit. However, the house was clean and well designed with an industrial vibe. Kitchen was nice with a cute coffee bar area, and the living room and furniture was comfortable. Would have given 5 stars if not for the above comments.

Beautiful Home! Super Clean! Very Pleasant Stay!
Rented this VRBO for a girls weekend away in Grand Rapids. There were five of us; we were very comfortable in this lovely home. The location was close to downtown for a quick drive to dinner, Meijers Gardens and to see the Lantern Show at the John Ball Zoo. We enjoyed our time just sitting in the living room catching up. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here for our annual guys weekend. It was a good location for checking out all the breweries in Grand Rapids and pretty close to a lot of restaurants. House was as advertised and there were a lot of nice touches included like snacks, coffee, and lots of towels.

Wonderful family space
This was our home base for a wedding weekend. Ourselves and four adult children had plenty of room and space to spread out. Updated and decorated very nicely. Kitchen space was fabulous. Very well equipped with lots of surprise extras. Wish they had larger dining table, but the stools at the kitchen island added extra seating. We did not use the back yard, but is fenced & has a nice outdoor eating space and fire pit. Not a fancy neighborhood but very close to local bars & restaurants and a 5 minute drive to downtown GR. Highly recommend.

Holiday Gathering
This property is a great venue to have a small gathering of family for the holidays. We hosted breakfast for seven adults and two small children. It was perfect. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare food. The first floor has plenty of room for everyone to move about and the kids could play. Parking is the best! This house has a large pad for off street parking which is great. I would highly recommend this house.

A charming, comfortable home on the west side of Grand Rapids
This is an incredible property. The house is beautifully decorated, and me, my sisters and niece felt right "at home" the second we arrived. We were in GR for a family wedding and it was convenient to everywhere we needed to be; only 5 minutes to downtown, 10 minutes to the Meijer Sculpture Garden, and 15 minutes from the wedding venue. The host was easy to communicate with and responsive, which made the process so much easier. We enjoyed all the special touches: the candy, the snacks, instant oatmeal, popcorn, and even ingredients to make s'mores. Everything we needed was right there, so the host made a special effort to make us feel right at home. I will definitely be coming back here the next time I'm in Grand Rapids. This is a special find. You won't be disappointed! I highly recommend this property.

Wedding Weekend
The bridal party and myself stayed here before my wedding at the John Ball Zoo. The location was perfect, being ~4 mins away! The house was clean and stocked with snacks. We loved the open concept on the main floor which made getting ready the morning of super nice for everyone to still be together while getting our hair and makeup done! We also loved all of the parking available in the driveway. Highly recommend staying here!

Great home base for our daughter’s wedding.
We were in town for our daughter’s wedding. The house worked out excellent - from the location, layout, cleanliness, ease of parking, etc. We had 8 people total for one of the evenings and there was plenty of room. it was very well stocked in kitchen and there were plenty of towels and linens in the bedrooms and bath. Quiet neighborhood too. We would stay again with no hesitation and would recommend to others.
