We had a very comfortable stay while attending our niece’s wedding near Grand Rapids, Ohio. Your welcome basket was enjoyed as well as refreshing drinks in the fridge. The beds were very comfortable. The antique stores in Grand Rapids were an added bonus.

Older house but very clean with comfortable beds. They had everything we might need while using the house. A birthday banner and plates were left for us with some treats. Very nice of them. Would definitely stay there again.
There is a landing down at hill. There's a fire pit and dock. Only downfall was it was rocks instead of sand but still nice little area to make smores or sit by the fire.
Beautiful scene to wake up to. You can see it from the kitchen/ dining area perfectly.

We loved staying by the Maumee River. We grew up close to this river, brought back lots of happy memories. We loved the Welcome basket and all the amenities. They provided so much in the way of snack, food and drinks. Thanks so much for the Welcome Basket.I did have some computer issues but was probably on my end not theirs.

4th of July Weekend

We really enjoyed the river access and brought our ski boat to the house. The views from the back of the house were great and being able to boat from Grand Rapids to Napoleon was ideal. We even stopped in at Lallys Marina next door for a ski rope and bag of ice.

Clean and Cozy

This was a great place to stay! We were in town for the weekend visiting family, and the location couldn't have been better. The house was clean and cozy, and the river view out back was just gorgeous! The host provides a lot of little extras to make you feel comfortable, and we had a really great time.

Home Away From Home

This is our second stay at this property and we loved it! The owners are incredibly thoughtful and we loved the basket of goodies! We were there during a very hot time of the year and the air conditioning was great. The house is very clean and there's plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and relax. There are several places to eat within 15 minutes or so, and the kitchen is well appointed if you want to make easy meals at the house. We really enjoyed sitting in the back yard watching the boats on the river and taking in the beautiful sunsets.
