Amazing weekend away!
I could not be more impressed with the accommodation, communication, cleanliness and vacation essentials that this property came with. Both the owner of the home and the property manager went above and beyond to make sure we had a perfect weekend. I reached out to the property manager with a question and had a response and answer within minutes. If you are looking for a great place to stay in the Grand Rapids area, I highly recommend staying at this property. 10/10!

Wonderful house. Spacious, clean and well stocked.
The house was perfect for our family. It was spacious and allowed for privacy when needed. The house had everything we needed and more - the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook our Thanksgiving dinner. There were toys for our kids to play with, extra blankets for the cold nights and more. Everything was clean and tidy and the location was perfect.

Family Getaway
Our family of 13 (3 sisters plus our husbands and children) rent a home in Michigan every summer. We typically do a lake house but decided to try a house with a pool instead this year. It could not have been better! The home was beautiful, clean, spacious and filled with everything we needed. There was so much to do between the pool, bounce house, game room, kids play house, and garage full of outdoor toys. It’s also a short drive to Grand Rapids for even more entertainment. The property manager was great about checking in to see if we needed anything, and detailed check-in and check-out instructions were sent prior to arrival. We have been doing this for over 10 years and everyone agreed that this was the nicest rental we have stayed in. We were all very impressed! Thank you for a great week with our family.

Italian Villa Private Escape
Exceptionally well maintained and furnished home. Modern exterior with surprising Italian Villa decor inside. Floor plan and activities available kept three generations of family happy and entertained, with children from one to seventeen. Heated salt-water pool was comfortably used even on cool days. Delightful VRBO!

Beautifully kept Home on private lot
This house is close to Grand Rapids, but still in the country. We enjoyed our time by the fire and even a dip or two in the hot tub. The beds and couches were comfortable and the dining table sat 10, perfect for our group! Owner was attentive and quick to answer any questions we had. We would definitely recommend!

Great family vacation home
We had a wonderful time. The home is completely stocked from coffee to beach towels. Easy communication with Robb. We have stayed at numerous homes like this over the years and this one rates at the top of the list. For those that want to have a fun day at the beach, Millennium Park in Grand Rapids is tremendous.

Group of friends stayed here for a wedding we had in town instead of hotel. Place is amazing and exactly how described. Pool and hot tub made the place perfect. Management staff had outstanding communication and even with the rowdy group we had made sure we were still able to have fun without getting neighbors upset.

Wonderful family home
My family and I loved our stay at this home. It has a beautiful location and lovely pool. It is well stocked for anything you may need to cook. There is a fire pit that we did not get a chance to use, but hopefully we will on the next visit. The checklist is easy to follow. The only suggestion I would make is to state you should leave by the door next to the garage, since you can lock this door when you exit. VERY GOOD value.

It worked out perfect with the 3 levels for the sleeping arrangements. It gave everyone there privacy. The home was clean and had all the amenities you would need and more. The welcome basket was very much appreciated, especially by the kids. We are a music family so we enjoyed the Sonos home sound system. The location was central for all our needs. Thank you Robb!!
