Mike was extremely easy to communicate with during the whole process! Property was very clean and more spacious than the photos give it credit. Super close to everything downtown and was very comfortable to hold my larger group! Will definitely recommend and rebook in the future.
The rooms are large. Everything worked great, from the appliances to the snow shovel. We chose the property for the location, but were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable we were. Plus, Mike responds right away to any questions. Thanks for making our stay easy!
Family from WI and MI could stay together for a local wedding. We celebrated our Christmas together in the living room the night before the wedding. Very comfortable and homey!
We came over from the UK, for the graduation of our daughter at Grand Valley State University. Really well placed for downtown and restaurants etc. Property very well equipped and cosy. Parking easy. We would look to stay here again when visiting Grand Rapids.
This house is in a great location. It is walking distance to down town, restaurants, coffee shops. It is close to the freeway so easy to get to other parts of the city. It is an older house but has been nicely renovated. It has lots of space and is stocked with everything you need.
It is in a safe, quiet neighborhood.
Mike is easy to get a hold of and responds quickly to any inquiries.
We have stayed at both of his properties and have not been disappointed.
We will definitely be staying again when we get back to Grand Rapids.
This was our second time staying here. We love the house for its location amenities . We are able to walk downtown From the house and it has everything you need.
The cottage provided the perfect place for our family stay for a long weekend! It was centrally located for all activities planned. The house had plenty of room and was very well stocked (dishes, cooking, linens, soaps / detergent, paper products -- all we needed). The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of parking. Everything was in perfect working order. We were happy we opted for this rental vs. staying in a hotel. Thanks, Mike for making our stay so enjoyable!
We stayed in this house for 3 months, mike was very easy to reach. It was close to the hospital where we needed to be.

Perfect home base for our group
We really enjoyed Mike's home in Grand Rapids. It had a big kitchen and dining area for cooking/entertaining, we appreciated having designated parking, and we were an easy walk to many popular bars/restaurants. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for comfort and convenience for a group of 8-10 people.
