We visited Grand Rapids for a girls trip to the Frederik Meijer Gardens. The location of this property was very convenient to everything. The house is large and clean. There were six beds (one was a trundle) which accommodated us well. Ample parking at the house and nice outdoor space. I would stay here again.

I rented this house for me and my adult children to attend a wedding at the John Ball Zoo. Location could not have been better (3 minutes away). The home is beautifully remodeled, very clean and perfectly well equipped. We cooked in one night and the kitchen had everything that we needed. We would definitely select this home again. Thank you to our host!
