Do Not Recommend
After many VRBO rentals, this is our first negative review. There were many issues, but here are the top 3: Old and uncomfortable beds Too noisy inside (very loud fan blower on furnace) and outside (highway traffic) Musty odors and sulfur water odors As we heavily rely on reviews, we did not heed our own advice as we were lured in by that river view and the assumption that it would be quiet. Our usual stays in GR are at hotels. If you take the time to read the negative reviews, the complaints are all the same and spot on:: old and uncomfortable beds; musty odors, sulfur water odor; overpriced; repairs needed; dirty; mice, bugs, and spiders.

Hold your nose
I would not recommend this property. The sulphur smelling water made us not want to cook or shower. The bathroom and bedroom doors didn't latch, the bedrooms were small, the yard needed mowed and the porch needed sweep. Not worth the money.

This was a great stay for after a wedding. It has a great location that is just off the highway but also tucked back on the water.

Convenient and peaceful
This is a conveniently located property on a quiet river stretch. I would call the accommodations comfortable. It felt like a friend had allowed us to stay in a well-worn family cottage for the weekend. Served our purposes.

Grand River view
View of River was lovely and the home was comfortable and well appointed. Communication with owner was excellent. Only negative is that the lot next door has an abandoned house that is in disrepair, which is an eyesore.

Very homey, appreciated the abundance of cooking ware as well as bedding. Seems that the owners are used to a vast array of guests so they are prepared for whoever may be utilizing the rental. Definitely would visit again!

Like staying at grandmas house
This house reminded me of staying at my 90 year old grandma’s house: Do you have to wash the dishes before you use them? YES Are the beds old and uncomfortable? YES Does the water smell like sulfur to the point that you avoid showering? YES Are there mice in the kitchen? YES Do you spend your time there apologizing to your family about the state of things and offer to get a hotel room instead? YES Location was good, close to a lot of amenities. Quiet road.

A nice getaway on the by the river
The getaway delivered on what was described. This place was very warm and inviting. We were not able to take full advantage of the amenities outside, due to the weather. Would definitely return for full use.

Great proximity to downtown Grand Rapids
Great proximity to downtown and did the purpose for a 1 night stay. When we arrived there was quite a bit of water on the one bedroom floor that we just had to put towels over. Also the water has a terrible sulfur smell. Besides that ita a cute house on the river within reasonable driving to downtown.

Very enjoyable Birthday Weekend
The property owners are very nice and communicate very good. The property itself is really nice with beautiful views of the river. The fire pit is nice especially with it being located by the water. The rooms were comfortable and we didn’t feel cramped in the house at all. I would recommend giving this property a shot especially if visiting Grand Rapids area.

Getaway With Grandsons
Clean and cozy but still enough room for all 6 of us. Grandsons loved fishing the river, just off the deck by the firepit. When asked what was the best part of the trip, it was unanimous- fishing in the river.

Lovely Spot
Driving up to the location was a bit odd, the properties on either side of this VRBO were a bit unkempt. No worries though, this property was pretty well maintained! Inside was quirky, but well stocked. Outdoors the concrete area by the river wasn’t quite ready for guests-fire pit hadn’t been cleaned out recently and the slab had a couple pieces of long wood debris that looked like that’s been fished out of the river ? Other quirky thing was there were multiple window units for AC as well as central AC so cooling was uneven in all the rooms, it was HOT this past weekend so we definitely noticed that. Plenty of sleeping room for everyone though so we stayed cool enough. Overall just needed a face lift and a bit more attention to detail. Nice location related to downtown GR and very beautiful mornings on the river.
