We had a fantastic girls weekend at the house. This is the absolute perfect location being walking distance from downtown and Hemlock Park. We loved everything about it. It was spacious and perfect for a large group. Mike was also a great host and quickly answered all questions. Hope to stay many more times in the future!

Read the review

Good space with lots of historical character. We used it well for our pre-xmas family gathering. Good location for downtown and the river walk. Comfortable beds, plenty of parking. Fairly well stock w/dishes, glasses, flatware, etc.Kind of sparsely decorated and the furniture is a bit too small for such large rooms. Could use spare chairs and blankets in the bedrooms. Back bedroom is unheated. Some small details need to be worked out like doors latches, towel racks, kitchen organization, etc. Cleaning crew could do a little better in the kitchen. Expect road noise from M20.Hoping this is an on going project house and the minor things are addressed as we plan to stay again.

Graduation weekend

This is a stunning home that was perfect for my large family. The water was frozen upon arrival and our host quickly found us another home for the busy until it was fixed. My daughter was able to get beautiful graduation pics in the house. We had a fabulous time with plenty of bedrooms and space for games. We will be back

state golf

We were in Big Rapids for the State golf tournament and stayed at the house with the 5 sets of parents. The house was well located and offered enough privacy for those that wanted it, and enough space for us to socialize together. The only negative comment that I can make is there wasn't enough comfy furniture for lounging with this big group. Everything else was great!! Thanks

Fresh updates made to the house while keeping its original character. Tons of room. Very clean. Close to campus. Could be a little more "chill" space...larger couches in common area to gather for renters. Overall great price and place to stay.

Nice, clean property, lots of bedrooms.

Minimal seating, 2 small sofas for five bedrooms. No lighting in living room. This property has a lot of potential… as we think it’s a new VRBO. Overall, it’s clean, safe, spacious.

Unique and comfortable stay

If you love architecture, this is the place to stay! I could not stop admiring all the intricate wood work that was preserved when the house was updated. So spacious for my group and very comfortable. Planning another getaway in the spring and hoping this will be where we call home for the weekend.

Alumni weekend stay

Overall good stay at this place. We had some issues with the furnace, but Mike did his best to make sure that someone came over right away to look at it right away and without being able to get it fixed, was able to place some heaters to make sure we are comfortable throughout the rest of our day. I would assume this is a one time occurrence.. the house is very comfortable and accommodating as we had five people stay in all of the rooms. Large tv. The only thing missing were coffee cups as we were able to make coffee and ended up using our yetis so it all worked out. We look forward to booking it for the same time next year with the same group.. thx.
