The home was lovely! It was as neat as a pin and had all the amenities that were promised. I brought my whole family, grown kids and their kids and I can say everyone was happy and comfortable from us boomers to the teens and also the little guys. We had a blast and felt warm like we were in a home away from home. Thank you for all the little details, I noticed each and every one of them.

Get to Know Grand Rapids

With two small children, we decided to take a different kind of vacation built around activities that everyone could enjoy. This house was absolutely perfect for our trip. There are plenty of good sized bedrooms so everyone could be comfortable - each with their own bathroom.. entire house is very kid friendly - with a soft sectional arrangement in the living room with ottoman - perfect for our 1 year old granddaughter learning to walk. Location is excellent. Close to zoo and Meijer Gardens. Hailey, the host representative, is fantastic. They are very accommodating about check in and check on. Great property. Great stay. Thanks, Hailey!

Right on time

This property was excellent for our family. It accommodates large families and provides enough privacy everyone. The basement game table was an added bonus during our down time. The only thing we found wrong was the bathrooms needed better cleaning as there was hair left behind.

Great family home

Had a great stay at the gathering place. It was beautifully clean and absolutely as the website says. We stayed (9 adults) for a family wedding in Grand Rapids. The house is really well set up for large groups and when there were problems (not enough mugs) Hailey dealt with it straight away. I don’t usually complete reviews but I was so impressed with this property that I would highly recommend it.

Perfect family get-together

This was the perfect spot for an intergenerational get-together for our family. It was so nice to have suite-style bedrooms, with a full private bath inside each of the upstairs bedrooms. The basement game room offered a lovely place to relax and hang out. Communication with the property manager was excellent. She was proactive and very responsive to questions. The communication package also provided excellent suggestions for local activities. All-in-all, a very nice week!

Family Vacation

The property was clean and conveniently located for access to downtown Grand Rapids. It was perfect for my family (4 adult couples) as it had 4 bedrooms upstairs with their own private baths. Only suggestion would be for better air circulation in the upstairs bedrooms (ceiling fans would be nice), otherwise I would recommend to anyone staying in the Grand Rapids area. Douglas Hollman
