About this property

Pet Friendly and peaceful setting!

This quiet house is snuggled back away from the Leonard boulevard with a beautiful view of the valley. The homes' history suggests it used to be a carriage house! The main house by the road used to be a parsonage, but behind the main house is our carriage (guest) house, so the servants quarters would have been above the lower carriage storage on the second floor. This is where you, our house guests, will sleep. There is a fully furnished kitchen and bathroom (shower only) with comfortable seating on the upper and main floors. Outdoor seating behind the house and on the back patio helps you relax while watching nature and listening to the outdoor sounds. Within walking distance to the local Lamont Park and historical cemetery, you can take short walks around our little town. The house is currently showing it's "age" and we have plans to renovate the attic space. Please keep in mind this is a VERY OLD house and it will not be perfect. There are cracks/paint touch ups and small repairs that need to be done during the winter months when the prime vacation season is finished. But its' imperfections add character, right?
The pool (open June - August), fire pit and sports court are available for our guests.

This property was just as described. We had a wonderful stay! If you are staying in winter/fall months be sure to bring slippers or warm slipper socks due to the downstairs floor being cold. They do provide an extra heater which helps a lot!Also, we are not firm mattress people and that is what is provided. We were absolutely fine for a night, but if we were staying multiple nights we would want a feather topper for this bed.Thank you for a wonderful stay! We plan to come during summer months to enjoy the pool side and bonfire pit. Pickle ball court looks great, too!

Exactly as described. Small, older and clean. Perfect for our 1 night stay. Hosts were accommodating and quick to communicate. There were high winds in the area that took out the power prior to our arrival. Hosts notified us and kept us updated. It was back on by our arrival. The mattress on the bed was very comfortable. The futon was not the most comfortable for sleeping, but was fine for the night. All in all, nice accommodations and would stay again.

We chose the property because of our dogs. We stayed over the Christmas holiday, it was freezing for us Texans, but the space heater and regular hwat warmed us nicely. Make note, the tennis court has a gate to walk thru, down the lawn towards the deck/pool, house on the right. It's cute, quaint, charming and clean! The queen bed was comfortable and the pups loved the couch. Navigating stairs is a must, and all of us did fine. Too cold for pool use, but its large, well kept and has a great deck also. Take a walk around the charming community, the church plays musoc outdoors before service. Thank you Heidi and Kyle for a lovely stay

Weekend Stay

Very cute and quiet property accurate to the pictures. The pool is well maintained. Host was easy to contact. Many (10) earwigs and rolly-pollies that come out at night but if you leave the kitchen and bathroom lights on you don't see as many.

Cute Country Carriage House Close to Everything

Check in was super easy. The property descriptions were perfect and we had no problems settling in. There was a lot of room in the upstairs sleeping quarters, and we all felt comfortable. We had an emergency during our stay, and Heidi and her family were very gracious, welcoming us in for a little while until all was settled. Communication was quick, and all of our questions were answered quickly. We felt very safe and comfortable, peaceful and quiet, yet a close drive to many different activities in the Grand Rapids area. All in all, a perfect little place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Heidi Parcher

Host profile image
Your hosts will be a married couple, who live on the front of the property and both work full time in the the local community. We are enjoying 3 grandchildren with two more on the way.

Why they chose this property

If you are looking for a quiet peaceful home to take a rest, this is the place! Enjoy some "down time" relaxing in our pool. We are 5 minutes away from Allendale and Coopersville. We are 15 minutes away from downtown Grand Rapids and 30 minutes from Grand Haven beach.

What makes this property unique

This unique home qualifies as historic!
Built in the 1830's, there are many stories this house could tell. The most profound piece of information is that the main house was built for a Methodist pastor and his family of Lamont. He would have parked his horse and carriage in the house you will be staying in and possibly have some servants living in the upper floor to help with the estate. Remember, this house has little dents and scratches because it is so old. We try to save our projects for the down time during the winter months. So, keep in mind you will be visiting a OLD house in the COUNTRY with country smells and country critters outside and possibly a couple bugs inside when the weather warms up or cools down with the weather changes.
