Family visit to see whitecaps game
Wonderful visit! We came to Michigan to visit one of the whitecaps baseball players. Perfect location! Walked to the ballpark, enjoyed the river, caught lots of fish, sat around the fire pit. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend.

Peaceful riverfront getaway
This cottage is so cute and cozy. It’s the perfect combination of rustic and modern living. The wood accents and cabinets made it feel like we were out in the country. The light fixtures, dimmers, and ceiling fans were very contemporary. The Michigan decor and Grand Rapids media gave it a Pure Michigan flavor that made me proud. The view of the river was spectacular, especially in the morning. My husband enjoyed walking off the deck and dropping his line right in the water. The baseball game was kinda noisy but the view of the fireworks afterwards made it worth while. This is a great, cozy property for relaxing. Thanks Maryann and Shawn. You have a gem.

Fishing trip
We stayed at the River House for two nights and it was everything we could have asked for and more. The location on the river and views from the deck and river wall in the backyard were awesome. Everything I needed, or needed to know, from the hosts of as provided and communicated quickly. Would definitely recommend and stay again myself.

Lakeview Sunrise
Amazing location with tons of natural light in the house. Feels like your almost on a boat with the water view. Very private with no neighbors on either side. Hosts went above and beyond in response to my initial request. Views of sunrise, moon over the water, fireflies, and fish popping out to catch their lunch, were all enchanting :)Will be coming back!

Quaint and Comfortable
Location is close to Grand Rapids and easy to drive to downtown. House was remodeled recently and was clean. We spent time sitting by the river relaxing and that was nice. Great communication with home owners-they were very accommodating. Water does have strong sulphur smell in shower but plenty of bottled water available for cooking/drinking. Neighboring house looked sketchy but no issues. Only suggestion is to wash deck, mow grass, and tidy up the outside of the house and yard. Owner let us know about dirt in front which was no big deal. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the fun things to do in the area!

Wildlife wonderland. A little oasis.
Deer, turtles, fish, woodpeckers, ducks, and so much more surrounds this home. The sunrises on the river are absolutely breathtaking. There is a ball park near by and some nights you can even watch fireworks from the porch. The home was clean and so cozy. We loved our time here so much that we extended our stay. The hosts are wonderful honest people that communicate well and are more than happy to help resolve any issues. We would love to come stay again.

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 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.

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.

We are a local couple located in the greater Grand Rapids area. We love our city and providing a space for guests to relax in nature while being close to enough to experience all that Grand Rapids has to offer!

Why they chose this property

We feel the stretch of the river that our house is located on is one of the most beautiful in the city. Each season offers a different spectacular view and it is a very comfortable space to rest and rejuvenate.

What makes this property unique

Our property is a hidden gem that makes you feel like you are in the middle of nature but not far from the action of the city.
