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!

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.

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.

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.
