It was the perfect middle ground for Shelbyville where we attended a wedding and Grand Rapids where we had the rest of our fun! Plus the farm animals were a very welcomed bonus.

What a wonderful place to stay. Our host welcomed us with fresh eggs from their hens with a sweet note welcoming us. They offered us fresh herbs from their garden, provided everything we needed for cooking, reading, relaxing. The suite/apartment has a big bathroom, comfy bed, dresser for clothes, lots of closet space. It’s adorable.

About the host

Hosted by Hope Staal

Host profile image
We're both West Michigan natives, and share interests in both science and the humanities: Ben is a scientist and Hope is a librarian. We love participating in choral music opportunities at our church, and we are avid outdoor enthusiasts.
Our home is located on the family farm where Hope grew up, and carries many memories. The decor for the apartment includes a cottage core European vibe with a special nod to Ireland, where Ben and Hope spent their honeymoon.
We've been guests of spectacular hosts all over the world in our travels, and it's a thrill to now offer this accommodation to others.

Why they chose this property

We soak up the peacefulness of our location daily, and hope this will be a blessing to our guests as well. It's so convenient to be within driving distance of three major cities of West Michigan - Kalamazoo, Holland, and Grand Rapids. We get to choose whether to dig deep into our country roots, or go enjoy a sophisticated night on the town - and our guests have that same choice!

What makes this property unique

The views are spectacular, and the privacy is unbeatable. We love our home, and it shows in many little details we hope will bring joy to our guests as well. We have a startup hobby farm with accompanying roadside stand, and we welcome requests for a tour. The cats, pups, goats, ducks, and chickens add a lot of interest and fun to our lives!
