About this property

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.

Such a peaceful weekend close to the city but nestled in the country

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying on this beautiful property. The host was quick to answer my silly questions, and the house is just so quaint and homie. The only downside was the tv was in the upper bedroom area and we enjoyed playing games around the table but wanted to watch the basketball games as well! We’d also recommend putting a pathway to walk down to the house the grass was so mushy we were terrified of ruining your grass! Otherwise we plan to stay again during the warmer months! Our dogs LOVED their stay as well, great spot for the entire family including the fur babies!

Convenient and dog friendly

Grateful for a place that will allow our puppies. Owners very friendly and accommodating. Little house is old and historic so know ahead of time not to expect a typical “newly remodeled” rental…it does show its age. Good place for us to use as a home base and to sleep as we had a weekend full of activities at GVSU. Perfect size for the two of us and our pups!

About the host

Hosted by Heidi Parcher

The Parcher family consists of 4 young men, three wives, 2 grandchildren and their parents. All four are out of the house, but stop by frequently. We have home schooled the boys and they are now enjoying their early twenties.

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.
