Beautiful cottage on the river

Charming cottage on the Grand River. Peaceful, relaxing setting with so many choices how to spend your time from watching a movie on a big screen TV, kayaking in the river, cycling on a bike path and more.

River getaway

This is a charming little home on the river. It is clean and well stocked. The host is super nice and helpful. If you stay during the winter, bring slippers as the floor gets cold. I was told about this in advance and was prepared.

Family Time!

We stayed at J's Place while visiting family in the Grand Rapids area. From the moment we met Mary Alice, we felt welcome and cared for. She is such a thoughtful host and this can be seen in the house and amenities. The house was spotless and bright and comfortable. We spent mornings and evenings relaxing by the river and enjoying the peace and quiet. Highly recommend!

Best place in the area

J’s Place covers all the bases. First, it’s beautiful. The house, the view, being right on the river with two deck areas to enjoy…it’s perfect. The house is clean and has everything you need in terms of kitchen and bath supplies. A/C is exceptional. Everything in the house is so comfortable (especially the bed). The location easily gets you wherever you need in the area within 10-15 minutes. Mary is there if you need her but otherwise you won’t even know she’s around (and she’s one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet). Don’t hesitate. You’ll be so happy you picked this place.

A lovely weekend getaway

We really enjoyed our weekend on the river at J's Place. In addition to a nice view of the Grand River, the space was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed to make a home away from home for a few days. Mary Alice is incredibly nice and made sure we had everything needed, especially when we faced bad weather! A great place all around.

lovely renovation on riverfront

The owner went to great expense to upgrade this property including a new entertainment system a beautiful kitchen. The bathroom was small and you could not adjust the showerhead, they probably should replace that. The kitchen was great but the cooking pans and griddle we’re not good. Very convenient to Grand Rapids that’s why we stay there. The property next-door was a real eyesore, our owner tried their best to shield it with window shades. Mary Alice did a great job getting us settled in. We had two great dinners pizza at the Jolly pumpkin and a fancier dinner at butchers union
