Sorry, we were working hard to open up the driveway so you could get to the house. We lost a lot trees in the storm! CALEDONIA TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Two EF0 tornadoes touched down as storms rushed through West Michigan Thursday night, the National Weather Service has confirmed. The NWS confirmed one twister touched down in southern Kent County in the Alto area and another was reported in Barry County.

About the host

Hosted by John Wenger

Host profile image
We grew up nearby and live next door in an 1870s farmhouse. We have several adjacent properties and love being able to walk to work.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy the change of seasons and being in the river valley with wildlife, fertile soil, and lots of fresh water.

What makes this property unique

The privacy and beautiful surroundings. Being close to the shops and restaurants of Lowell and the greater Grand Rapids Area. The short commute to so many trails, parks, rivers, and lakes including the Great Lakes!
