A beautiful home in Grand Rapids for a girls weekend. 4 comfortable bedrooms and two spacious full baths. Every amenity provided and excellent communication with our host before and during our trip. Easy navigating the city from home base and we took trips to Grand Haven, Saugatuck and Holland. The Fulton Market on Saturday is a must experience and we also attend an Art & Crafts festival by the river which was fun.

This house was a great place for our family vacation with 3 kids and 4 adults. So many nice accommodations like coffee bar, desktop fans in every bedroom, and kids’ sidewalk chalk. Very clean. The location seemed to be close to every place we wanted to go - zoo, children’s museum and sculpture garden. Thank you for the hospitality!

Prior to our stay I had a few questions and Tracy answered them promptly. The home was very clean and the pictures are accurate. We were a group of 6 ladies that take a trip every August, by far this was the cleanest home. The amenities in the home were outstanding, Tracy has thought of everything you could need. If you’re looking to spend some time in the Grand Rapids I highly recommend staying at this home. I normally do not leave reviews, but this home deserves 10 stars.

Thank you for your kind words. So glad you ladies had a good time and enjoyed the house. btw...someone left a fan in a bag by the back door. Do you have someone close by that can pick it up this week or should I donate it?

We visited Grand Rapids for a girls trip to the Frederik Meijer Gardens. The location of this property was very convenient to everything. The house is large and clean. There were six beds (one was a trundle) which accommodated us well. Ample parking at the house and nice outdoor space. I would stay here again.

Nice property! It is close to Grand Rapids attractions. This area is not in close proximity for walking to attractions, you must have a car. FYI! Great parking and area outside if you want to sit outside in the back there is a fire pit. You will need to get your own wood. The kitchen is spacious and there is a nice dining table for sitting. It has one first floor bedroom if someone cannot use stairs. We enjoyed our stay with our group of seven!

I rented this house for me and my adult children to attend a wedding at the John Ball Zoo. Location could not have been better (3 minutes away). The home is beautifully remodeled, very clean and perfectly well equipped. We cooked in one night and the kitchen had everything that we needed. We would definitely select this home again. Thank you to our host!
