Peaceful
What a great place to stay! Everything was what was online. One of the best places we've stayed. We're from the state of Wyoming, and the back reminded us of home. So peaceful. The hosts were great! It was bitter sweet to leave. We had 7 people with us, and there was plenty of room. I would recommend this location for your next stay!

Great place!
This place was such a blessing to us! We stayed with our entire family and elderly father while our mother was in the hospital for surgery. This home provided us with a comfortable place to call home for the week. Every detail was amazing, the handicap accessibility was much needed, and the decor was bright and cheery! There is so much room that it never felt crowded and our teenager was able to have much needed space for quiet downtime. Wonderful property owners too!

Huge/Nice place but they had quiet time hours?
We didnt realize that owners were living on the 2nd and 3rd floor. Its not a big deal until we seen a note on the wall that quiet time is between 10pm and 8am. There was nothing in the listing about that. Overall we try to keep it down we did not have any issues during out stay. Its a great place for alot of people. The place is huge!

A Great Stay!
We greatly appreciated the cleanliness, size, value, and location of this property. The Christmas decorations were a pleasantly surprising touch, as our visit was over Christmas weekend. It made the holiday extra special for our young grandchildren! The hosts were a joy to work with and were most responsive to inquiries. Many thanks to them!

Plenty of space, super clean and well stocked.
Our family was in town for a wedding. We were impressed with the spacious bedrooms, cleanliness (I wasn't expecting that as they allow dogs) and how well the place was stocked with towels, sheets, access to washer dryer, etc. Great place to hang out and watch movies in the evening. Cute vintage Christmas decorations, too! Highly Recommend.

Great place to stay for a group!
We had so much room! Our group was 6 women that were both family and friends. One girl is disabled and my mom struggles with mobility. The hostesses were attentive and everything you needed was provided, right down to a set of reusable insulated coffee cups with different colored sleeves to keep track of cups. We enjoyed playing games at the dining room table that had seating for 10 people and we watched a movie in the living room that had 2 couches and 3 recliners and tons of movies, books, audio books, etc. The kitchen had plenty of room and every utensil, bowl, plate, pan, and measuring item we needed. There were 3 bathrooms, so plenty of space for 6 women to get ready in the morning. I really can't say enough positive things about our stay!!!

Good place for families
We spent 5 nights with our children and grandchildren. Pros: Lots of space. With 4 gathering areas for different activites for our group. Convenient location. Close to lots of options for anyone of every age! Really well stocked kitchen. Lots of thoughtful extras from hosts. Good lay out for people with children who need a quiet space away from larger the group, so they can nap or sleep eariler at night. Back porch and back yard were enjoyed greatly by our granddaughters. Tons of books, videos and games. Thoughtfully decorated with fun and eclectic vintage decor. Cons: Westwing didn't cool like the rest of the house. Very close to other residents (house) on the property. This didn't effect the quality of our stay however. We never heard any noice from anyone else on the property. We were disappointed in the farm aspect of the property. We didn't see anyplace that we could walk other than the fenced in back yard. We ran out of toilet paper and host refused to provide more...seemed rather odd since so many other things were provided. It wasn't the cost of purchasing more toilet paper that bothered us as much as having to make a special run into town just to get more. The recliners were comfortable but it was very hard to put the foot rests down. Anyone with a handicap (or who is elderly) had to have other family members help them lower the footrests.

Family Reunion
This place is incredibly spacious. We stayed there with our three kids, their spouses, and their three kids (11 total) and had more than enough room. We also hosted two parties for family members who live in the GR area. Great screened-in back porch and a great yard. The house was extremely comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for large groups. And Valerie was an awesome, accommodating host!

About the host

Hosted by Valerie Drummond - Allen

Host profile image
HI my name is Valerie and husbands name is Todd and our Co-Host's name is Diane. We are kind, friendly and inviting people. I have lived in the Byron Center area my whole life but Todd comes from the East side of the state. Building our Barn House was the most exciting and rewarding project and dream I have ever accomplished. There is nothing I don't like about our home, and I am blessed to have been able to save this old barn before it became dilapidated beyond repair and turn it into something so many people can enjoy. I often say this old barn has stabled cows, horses and people, but the people have loved it most! I know I do!!

Why they chose this property

Everything about Barn Swallow Manor is oversized, the total space is about 8400 & your space apprx 3700sqft. So, from the living room to the den/game room, bedrooms, dining area, porch and fenced in back yard, the size makes it very comfortable and inviting for a large range of guests. Barn Swallow is country living at its best! Quiet and peaceful yet we are centrally located and close to everything!

What makes this property unique

Probably the most unique thing about Barn Swallow, is that it is a completely renovated dairy barn in a beautiful country setting. Only 3 mins from Tanger, and 15 minutes to Grand Rapids or the Casino with beautiful surrounding fields and privacy yet so close to everything! The Barn House itself has space & more space, an added bonus that there aren't any steps coming into the barn house! Which means it's easy and accessible to everyone especially with all those suitcases.

The whole 1st level is handicap accessible and we have the walk-in tub, that you can also use the shower feature.

We have a huge 3 season porch! And a large 4 burner gas grill on the way
along with a "smokeless" fire pit. (Both should be installed by the end of March if not sooner.)

The fenced in back yard has a private walking/jogging track which is another feature you don't see every day!
