The Space:

The Drumlin Suite at The Inn on Jefferson is a stunning example of modern loft living housed within a piece of Grand Rapids history. Formerly a historic rug shop, this side-by-side suite offers a unique multi-level layout with soaring ceilings and abundant natural light—ensuring no neighbors are above or below you.



The ground floor is designed for gathering, featuring a sun-drenched living room with a 65" flat-screen TV and a fully equipped chef’s kitchen. The kitchen includes seating for four, premium appliances, and a Keurig stocked with complimentary coffee and tea. A full bathroom with a walk-in shower is conveniently located just off the main living area.



Upstairs, the loft level is the heart of the home. The primary bedroom features a built-in King bed with a Tuft & Needle mattress, integrated USB power, and its own private, modern ensuite bathroom. Adjacent to the bedroom is the glass-walled den, a "cool" architectural feature that allows light to pour in while providing a dedicated workspace with an electric standing desk and ergonomic chair. For additional guests, the den's comfortable sofa pulls out into a queen-sized bed, and the sliding door can be closed for evening privacy. Blackout curtains are provided for the glass walls to ensure a restful night's sleep.



Comfort is guaranteed year-round with radiant floor heating and individual AC units on both levels. For entertainment, all three televisions feature YouTube TV with local and cable channels, plus easy access to your favorite streaming apps. You will also have access to one dedicated space in the attached garage. Please note that garage parking is shared and can be tight for oversized vehicles; street parking and city ramps are available as alternatives.



Guests enjoy full private access to the entire suite, including the main level and the loft, with a shared entrance through the building's main lobby. To maintain the integrity of this historic property, we require a two-night minimum stay on weekends.
