Why they chose this property

Welcome to our new home! We are happy that you are here. As you might be able to tell, this is a house with history. In fact, we are the home’s fourth owners since it was built in 1910 by a nephew of Grand Rapids’ founding settler, John Ball. Ball’s nephew Waldo was a furniture salesman who represented some of Grand Rapids’ biggest furniture manufacturers. We have taken inspiration from this history, and the largely unmodified state of the home, in selecting furnishings, many of which are period and from right here in Grand Rapids.

Your stay with us is integral to our work in preserving this beautiful home. We do not operate a short-term rental business with multiple properties but are using Airbnb and VRBO to fund the restoration work described above and to share a bit of Grand Rapids' history with its visitors. In the meantime, please know that we are working hard to remedy the home’s few issues.

Thank you for helping us ensure that the home's beautiful façade will proudly greet the people of Grand Rapids for another hundred years.
