Big house

The house was clean and tidy. We were there to just sleep and not entertain. I would say that for our family preferences, we’d stay in a more quiet area of the city. This part of Grand Rapids while charming is busier than we expected. This is no fault of the host. Her description of the home and what was included was spot on. It is an old house but VERY charming and cozy. Lots of great coffee shops and eateries nearby etc. Good value and stay overall.

Calvin Graduation

We had a lovely stay at this house. Room for everyone and close to Calvin University. We all came to celebrate our daughter's graduation!! House was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Only a few downsides (that are unavoidable) it is located on a very busy street(lot of road noise) and only one bathroom for 6 adults 😉. Other than that, we truly enjoyed our stay.

Why they chose this property

Welcome to our new home! We are happy that you are here. As you might be able to tell, this is a house with history. In fact, we are the home’s fourth owners since it was built in 1910 by a nephew of Grand Rapids’ founding settler, John Ball. Ball’s nephew Waldo was a furniture salesman who represented some of Grand Rapids’ biggest furniture manufacturers. We have taken inspiration from this history, and the largely unmodified state of the home, in selecting furnishings, many of which are period and from right here in Grand Rapids.

Your stay with us is integral to our work in preserving this beautiful home. We do not operate a short-term rental business with multiple properties but are using Airbnb and VRBO to fund the restoration work described above and to share a bit of Grand Rapids' history with its visitors. In the meantime, please know that we are working hard to remedy the home’s few issues.

Thank you for helping us ensure that the home's beautiful façade will proudly greet the people of Grand Rapids for another hundred years.
