    Gorgeous house

    The house was absolutely beautiful, very clean, and it was comfortable. Our only vaguely negative is maybe label the switches, but we also had fun playing the "which light does this go to" game so it really wasn't an issue. The hosts were extremely prompt with replies and were very helpful. I would definitely stay for a longer period if the opportunity arose.

    History Buffs and Prospective Locals Welcome

    This is an adorably quaint house. Those who appreciate history and connection to a community will really enjoy their stay. Sam and May are very kind and supportive hosts as well. There are vintage pieces throughout the house and are lovely to see. The hardwood floors are gorgeous but do note there is some creaking if you have light sleepers. Also, I would recommend young children to walk with shoes or barefoot as socks can be slippery on the wood. If you have a larger vehicle, I would plan on parking in the street. Our 2022 jeep compass fit in the garage but only could open one side of doors with some limited space.

    Great property, close to great amenities, just as described. Clean, cute, and served the purpose for our needs. We just needed a place to rest our heads overnight for an event at Van Andel Arena and were on our way the next morning.
