________________________________________
• Our History
• In the early 1900s, Barn Swallow Manor began its life as a sturdy dairy barn and horse stable, standing watch over the rolling fields and quiet creek. A century later, in 2008–2009, it was lovingly transformed into a welcoming country retreat, with a thoughtful refresh in 2022. While preserving the barn’s rustic character, we infused the interior with mid-century modern design and original pieces personally curated to reflect the beauty and simplicity of that era. The result is a space that feels both timeless and inviting — a place where history, style, and comfort come together to welcome families, friends, and travelers seeking peace and room to breathe.

Great place to stay! This was our 3rd year staying here for our shopping getaway. Valerie and Diane are great hostesses who are very responsive to any questions. We are already planning to go back next year. We have 6 women in our group, a couple of them who wouldn't do well with stairs or regular bath tubs. This place has all the bedrooms on the main floor, a large living room to hang out in and a huge dining room table for playing games. Super convenient to the majority of the stores we love!

Special this year was the sand hill cranes! Nice and spacious, wonderful kitchen, beautiful decor. Owners are very responsive to needs or concerns. We will be back!

Perfect Stay – Peaceful and Perfectly Located!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this property! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly well-stocked with everything we needed and more. The attention to detail in the amenities was above and beyond – it truly felt like a home away from home.Communication with the owners was excellent throughout our stay. They were responsive, thoughtful, and clearly care deeply about providing a great guest experience.The location was perfect for our trip. Nestled in a peaceful countryside setting, we were treated to stunning sunrises and sunsets each day – such a relaxing environment. At the same time, the property was ideally situated for daily adventures to Grand Rapids, Holland, Saugatuck, and GVSU. It was the best of both worlds: quiet and serene, yet close to everything we wanted to explore.We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would absolutely return in the future. Highly recommend!Thank you Valerie and Diane for your hospitality!

Birthday trip

The property was very clean, and well stocked with a lot of things you may need. Although something that i really think should have been mentioned in the listing is that it seems people live upstairs. Not knowing this beforehand was shocking, and made the stay a little bit uncomfortable, even though we didnt come into contact with them. Also there are insturction signs for every little thing in the house, and that made the place a little less welcoming.

11/10 would recommend, we will be booking again!

Without a doubt this is one of my favorite places I’ve stayed. Everything was very clean, clearly labeled, simple instructions to follow, the CUTEST decorations, and stocked with literally anything that you might possibly need. The beds were comfy, the floors were heated so cold feet in the winter time was not a problem, there were so many little touches that were well thought out and just gave ease and comfort on every level. The views of the property were beautiful. I hope to stay here again in the summertime and enjoy the sun room more and possibly bring my dog. You know how generally there is always something you would improve at a place you pay to stay? Just an adjustment you would’ve made or a preference you would’ve had? This place was perfect. I wouldn’t change anything about it, I wanted nothing more, everything was provided that I could possibly need and the overall vibes and decor were my favorite thing. The hosts Valerie and Diane were a pleasure to communicate with and so sweet. I can’t thank them enough for this wonderful stay!

Excellent stay for a wedding weekend

Our son got married at Railside and this place was perfect for our stay. So close to the venue and we enjoyed a great dinner one night in downtown Byron Center. Also walked the Kent Trail a few times which was beautiful! Close to groceries, gas etc. Property was beautiful, spacious and clean. Groomsman stopped by on their way to the venue and enjoyed a nice lunch. We got subs from the catering menu at Subway in town. They were so nice and helpful and it was really good! Excellent stay. Would highly recommend!

This is a large home with bedrooms for all of us. 3 generations of us attending a local wedding that was 7 minutes away was perfect. All on one floor was a treat.
