About this property
Renovated Dairy Barn with 5 beds, 2.5 bath, SPACIOUS!
Hello My Traveling Friend,
Welcome to Barn Swallow.our beloved Dairy Barn. I am sure that you will love our spacious accommodations and the many thoughtful amenity's in our 5 bed option! You can also check out our two bedroom listing if you are traveling with less people.
This fully updated and accessible FIRST FLOOR lodging accommodates 12 guests (and two pets) of all ages and abilities. We do not allow cats however due to allergy issues. We do require our guests to crate your dog when you have left the house. We have (2) 3x4 crates for your use.
Enjoy comfort and privacy inside and 11.5 country acres outside, close to restaurants, Tanger Outlet, hospitals, Gun Lake casino, Grand Rapids, and much more.
The 1st level of our Barn House is perfect for family vacations or simply gathering with friends.
What Is the Barn Swallow Manor?
Built in the early 1900s, the original dairy barn and horse stable was fully converted in 2008-2009 and updated in the summer of 2022. The property boasts 11.5 charming country acres with beautiful views and a creek running through the center. Feel free to walk our fields and see turkeys, hawks, crane, deer, and possibly a bald eagle.
The Space: You will have the entire FIRST floor to yourself and lodging is completely separate from the rest of the house, and surrounded by farmland and very few neighbors.
Handicap Accessibility: The house is accessible for people of all abilities. Built with every situation in mind, this home has 36” doors, is step free and barrier free, and has two different powerlift reclining chairs. Bathing is easy with an oversized shower and walk-in tub. If you need a shower chair, please ask ahead of your stay.
Energy Efficient: The house is built with Earth friendly “green features” including energy efficient windows, closed cell spray foam insulation, and geothermal heating/cooling forced air with energy efficient in-floor radiant heat. Even in the worst of weather you will have electricity with our whole house backup generator.
Family Friendly: We provide two roll away cribs, a pack & play, changing table, highchair, baby utensils, plastic kid bowls and bib. Two of the bedrooms have chairs that turn into beds, perfect for a child to sleep in their parents' room.
Bedrooms: Spread out into four bedrooms. The four queen beds and one king bed each have four pillows with two different levels of comfort and extra blankets. Touch lamps are at most bedsides. All nightstand lamps have USB ports. We also have 2 Chairs that convert to single beds and a hide-a-bed couch in the living room that can sleep 2.
Bathrooms: The two full bathrooms and one half-bath are fully stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towels, and hair dryers.
Kitchen: The kitchen has everything you need to prepare your food, plus there is a closet full of extras like a blender for smoothies, George Foreman grill, waffle maker, Instant Pot, crock pot, and electric griddle.
Dining Area: Seat 10-12 people around the table. Enjoy the coffee bar with a Keurig and complimentary K-cups. there is also a regular coffee maker for larger groups.
Living Room: This spacious area has two couches, four comfortable loungers, and a workstation perfect for longer stays and business trips. Kick back with the Roku and plenty of movies and books.
Den: This smaller area is stocked with several games, including classic Nintendo, houses a desk/table with a printer, and offers comfortable seating.
Laundry: Take advantage of the washer and detergent, dryer, iron and ironing board.
3-Season Porch: This 12x3’ room is private/unshared and comfortably furnished. (We have a Large 4 burner grill coming and a new fire pit coming by the end of March)
Fenced Back Yard: Enjoy a walking/jogging track and the lush lawn, perfect for a game of Corn Hole.
A true home away from home!
The entrance to the First floor accommodations is through the front door which has a digital code, once you are in the foyer there is a second coded door to your private space. Parking is out front and the pole barn and garage is not a part of the rental.

About the host
Hosted by Valerie Drummond - Allen

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!
