Hello My Traveling Friend,

Welcome to the Barn Swallow, our beloved Dairy Barn!
This fully updated and accessible first floor lodging accommodates 4 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.

Quaint barn
The pictures didn’t do it justice. It was a beautiful space and so roomy. My family loved all of the movies and amenities. I really liked how kid friendly it was. It was so nice to have a crib and high chair for my one year old. Thank you so much for letting us stay here in Barn Swallow. We will DEFINITELY be back!

HI my name is Valerie and husbands name is Todd. 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 about 8400 and your space about 3000sqft for the 2 bedroom unit. So, from the living room, to the den/game room, bedrooms, dining area, porch and fenced in back yard, it's all big, which 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 benefits of Barn Swallow, is the country setting, so close to everything, AND besides space & more space, the 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
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 everyday!
