The house itself was great. It offered a lot of space for our family and the kitchen was well stocked. Unfortunately, we had an incident happen where our car was damaged by falling ice from the roof. We reached out to the host and after some back-and-forth, we asked her not to reach out to us anymore and we would settle the issue with VRBO. She then sent the property manager to the house at 10:15pm, which felt like a violation of our privacy. It was the night before my mom's funeral and the last thing I wanted to deal with was this issue. The house was great overall but we would not recommend parking cars side by side in the driveway, even though the posting states you can park 4 cars in the lot.

This house was perfect for a college friends reunion. Each room was well-equipped with thoughtful amenities, the kitchen, layout and decor was great. Location was perfect to get to downtown with a short drive and loved that we could park four cars.

The house was ideally located (a mile walk from downtown) and was a great layout/design for a family stay (or as in our case, a group of colleagues in town for a conference). Definitely would stay again!

Four brothers met for annual get together. We enjoyed a car show, drag racing and oval track racing. The house location was perfect for all events. Grand Rapids was beyond our expectations for comfort and activity. Local restaurants were very good. The house was comfortable and had plenty of space. Kitchen and baths were especially nice. Very nice stay.

We loved our stay at this property! Owners were easy to work with, check in worked well, it was beautifully decorated with lots of small unexpected touches. Spacious kitchen had everything we needed and the bathrooms and bedrooms were all lovely and well stocked with towels and bedding. This house set a high bar for future rentals to exceed!

Excellent stay!

My siblings, mom and I stayed here for my sisters 40th birthday (6 people total). We were very comfortable and had everything we needed in a home away from home. It was immaculately clean. Beds were all comfortable and we felt like we had plenty of space. The kitchen is well appointed. We cooked dinner one night and breakfast all 3 days and had everything we needed. Both showers were great and the bathroom towels were nice and soft. The owner responded very quickly to a question i had prior to the trip & communicated check in instructions with door code the day before our stay. Location is great too. We walked to the zoo one day & downtown is just a quick 5 minute drive. Would absolutely recommend this house and the owner.

Weekend visit with adult kids

We had the best time at this beautiful home. It may be the nicest VRBO we’ve ever stayed in, and we’ve stayed in a lot. Every detail was thought of. Linens, sheets, and towels were the highest quality, furnishings were new and tasteful. There are too many extras to mention all but the water bottles in the fridge coffee, tea to go cups and plenty of cooking supplies made it feel like home. The home is walking distance to downtown Grand Rapids and the neighborhood felt safe with sidewalks everywhere we wanted to go. We hope to return soon!

Perfect home away from home!

The host thought of everything! We loved staying here to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday with a girls trip to Grand Rapids. The location was perfect, the house was spacious and clean, and the host was communicative. We will stay here again if we are in the area!
