Comfy Home Surrounded by Forest

This home was perfect for our family. Nice sized kitchen, dining room and living room, plus a private yard surrounded by forest. I docked a star for accuracy of listing simply because the description states it can sleep ten, yet there are only enough beds for four people (which, to be fair, the description does only list three beds). We had five people, so my youngest slept on the couch (not a sleeper sofa). There's no way this house can sleep ten, unless people sleep on the floor or camp in the yard. But, if your group has 4 people, or 5 and one is willing to sleep on the comfy couch, then this place is perfect!

Quiet spot in the woods, but close to town!

We lived in Ada for 35 years and recently stayed here while visiting friends and old haunts with our dogs. We enjoyed the quiet spot with beautiful pretty lit trails to Walk the pups. The house could use some TLC, but is clean and comfy.walk the pip

Issues with allergies

We stayed 1 night out of a 3- night stay. My husband got extremely itchy and congested after only 6 hours in the property. I got a scratch at the back of my thrat and our friends who visited for the evening stated it smelled moldy. My husband died have a history of allergies but never this severe. I have no allergies and i was uncomfortable. Fan and light in bathroom was disgusting. Sink in kitchen was not cleaned well. There were wet spots on ceiling, so feel there was mold. Table was also unacceptable with lots of stains. I would just be careful if you have a tendency towards allergies.

We loved our stay. We had plenty of space to enjoy time together. We played games, walked the trails, and enjoyed the beautiful nearby park with a walking bridge over the river. We had 6 in our group. Two of us slept outside in a tent. If you have more than 6 people, you might run low on dishes and towels. But, for six of us, it was perfect. Just make sure you realize there are only places in beds for four bodies. :) The listing says this, but it could be easy to miss since it is listed as a “sleeps 10” property. Communication was great. We would stay again.

About the host

Host profile image
We grew up nearby and live next door in an 1870s farmhouse. We have several adjacent properties and love being able to walk to work.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy the change of seasons and being in the river valley with wildlife, fertile soil, and lots of fresh water.

What makes this property unique

The privacy and beautiful surroundings. Being close to the shops and restaurants of Lowell and the greater Grand Rapids Area. The short commute to so many trails, parks, rivers, and lakes including the Great Lakes!
