River getaway
This is a charming little home on the river. It is clean and well stocked. The host is super nice and helpful. If you stay during the winter, bring slippers as the floor gets cold. I was told about this in advance and was prepared.

Family Time!
We stayed at J's Place while visiting family in the Grand Rapids area. From the moment we met Mary Alice, we felt welcome and cared for. She is such a thoughtful host and this can be seen in the house and amenities. The house was spotless and bright and comfortable. We spent mornings and evenings relaxing by the river and enjoying the peace and quiet. Highly recommend!

Best place in the area
J’s Place covers all the bases. First, it’s beautiful. The house, the view, being right on the river with two deck areas to enjoy…it’s perfect. The house is clean and has everything you need in terms of kitchen and bath supplies. A/C is exceptional. Everything in the house is so comfortable (especially the bed). The location easily gets you wherever you need in the area within 10-15 minutes. Mary is there if you need her but otherwise you won’t even know she’s around (and she’s one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet). Don’t hesitate. You’ll be so happy you picked this place.

lovely renovation on riverfront
The owner went to great expense to upgrade this property including a new entertainment system a beautiful kitchen. The bathroom was small and you could not adjust the showerhead, they probably should replace that. The kitchen was great but the cooking pans and griddle we’re not good. Very convenient to Grand Rapids that’s why we stay there. The property next-door was a real eyesore, our owner tried their best to shield it with window shades. Mary Alice did a great job getting us settled in. We had two great dinners pizza at the Jolly pumpkin and a fancier dinner at butchers union

A lovely weekend getaway
We really enjoyed our weekend on the river at J's Place. In addition to a nice view of the Grand River, the space was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed to make a home away from home for a few days. Mary Alice is incredibly nice and made sure we had everything needed, especially when we faced bad weather! A great place all around.

Beautiful River Cottage for up to four adults
This cottage is beautiful, freshly updated, very clean and right on the Grand River with a great balcony and dock. It is more spacious than it seems from the pictures, plenty of room for four adults. Excellent location if you want to be close to Grand Rapids while enjoying a more laid back, less busy setting. Highly recommend Archival Brewing and Blue Water Grill for incredible food and drink in beautiful locations within a five minute drive. The home is also close to Oasis Hot Tub Gardens, a very clean and private hot tub spa that is excellent for relaxation. Mary Alice is a great, very nice host. She lives next door and prefers to meet in-person for check in, but provides total privacy during your stay. Please note, there is one bedroom and one bathroom. There is also a fold-out couch with a queen mattress in the living room, and the other couch is comfortable to sleep on if the fold-out is too soft for you. Plenty of towels, linens and pillows provided. I highly recommend this cottage and plan to return in the future.
