Incredible Stay!

Myself and my college golf team stayed in this home for a few days for a college golf tournament at Grand Valley State and the home was just what we needed! Super clean, spacious, and just as advertised! Extremely convenient location as well for anything on or around GVSU’s campus. Will definitely stay again in the future when we are in the area!

Quiet neighbourhood and clean home

We had a happy week staying here. Rooms were very clean. Steps down to the garden from the upstairs balcony would have been helpful as think we would have then used garden more but very minor issue. House was well appointed and easy to stay in.

Well-accommodated home in quiet neighborhood

This home was a perfect landing spot for our family of 4 while visiting our son at GVSU. The neighborhood is quiet, lovely, and safe. The home has everything we needed and was comfortable. The host answered questions in a timely manner and helped us to feel at ease. We will be back!

Long Weekend In Grand Rapids

This property was wonderful. Clean, close to everything Grand Rapids (and Lake Michigan beaches), and very spacious. We had 7 people (my family & my sister's family) and there was plenty of space to stretch out! Ben was very responsive and professional. Would definitely consider staying at this house again!

Stay for GVSU Graduation

Amazing property in quiet neighborhood. The description does not do it justice. Ben has this house well maintained and clean. Could not have asked for better accommodations to host my family while we attended our daughters graduation.

About the host

Hosted by Ben

Host profile image
I'm a husband and dad who loves to be outside and doing just about anything active with my family. We love to visit new places and make memories but have had too many poor experiences with accommodations not being as expected and hosts that are less than professional. I have a passion for creating truly outstanding experiences so my goal is to give you the best and most hassle-free vacation stay of your life! Let me know if there is anything I can do to make your trip truly special.

Why they chose this property

Phenomenal access for whatever you are looking to do. Less than 2 miles from the campus of Grand Valley State University but in a quiet neighborhood that feels nothing like campus if that's not what you are in town for. 20 minutes to downtown Grand Rapids and 20 minutes to the white sand beaches of Lake Michigan. There are shops and restaurants to enjoy right around the corner or get out and explore the beautiful parks and countryside West Michigan has to offer!
