Joy, we're so glad that you spent your family get together with us, and that the property worked out so well for you. We look forward to your return!
Our stay at Jackson Woods was perfect for our annual couples' trip. The house, set in a quiet neighborhood, was clean and exactly as described, with four king-size bedrooms providing ample space and privacy for each couple. We appreciated the convenience of having our own bathrooms. The location was good, with a bit of a drive to breweries and LMCU Ballpark, but we expected that. The backyard firepit was the perfect way to unwind on the last night before heading home. Highly recommend for a group getaway!
Plenty of room for our whole family, from grandparents down to the grandchildren. House is in great shape and super clean! The ping pong table was a big hit with the kids.

My family came in for a wedding....house was spacious and clean. If you have kids, there was a kids room that would sleep 6 children (2 bunks with additional slide out mattresses). Great property, clean, great amenities. Made our stay stress free.

Our family of 10 spent a lovely weekend at this property. Our children range from age 17-1 year old. This home was perfect for all of them. We really appreciated the amount of bathrooms and large bedrooms. Our smaller children loved all the toys and the hot tub was a plus! We will definitely be back!

Perfect location and layout for our family; Grandma, her children and grandchildren! Kids loved the hot tub and fire pit for s’mores (bring your own sticks and wood). Grandma liked first floor bedroom. Plenty of bathrooms for everyone! The only downside was no cable TV. We had to stream and figure that out but management was very helpful!

Home was clean and spacious. We did have an issue with the key entry, but it was quickly resolved with a backup plan. Location was ideal with 20 minutes access to all our wedding destinations, including downtown Grand Rapids. We found the home lacking for nothing we needed to prepare and serve meals for our group. Very Nice place. We would stay again.

Excellent attention to details and cleanliness. We'll furnished kitchen except the

From a senior point of view there were areas for improvement. Steps in garage and going outside from laundry room with railings. Grab bar by toilets.
