Wonderful visit! We came to Michigan to visit one of the whitecaps baseball players. Perfect location! Walked to the ballpark, enjoyed the river, caught lots of fish, sat around the fire pit. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend.

This cottage is so cute and cozy. It’s the perfect combination of rustic and modern living. The wood accents and cabinets made it feel like we were out in the country. The light fixtures, dimmers, and ceiling fans were very contemporary. The Michigan decor and Grand Rapids media gave it a Pure Michigan flavor that made me proud. The view of the river was spectacular, especially in the morning. My husband enjoyed walking off the deck and dropping his line right in the water. The baseball game was kinda noisy but the view of the fireworks afterwards made it worth while. This is a great, cozy property for relaxing. Thanks Maryann and Shawn. You have a gem.

We stayed at the River House for two nights and it was everything we could have asked for and more. The location on the river and views from the deck and river wall in the backyard were awesome. Everything I needed, or needed to know, from the hosts of as provided and communicated quickly.
Would definitely recommend and stay again myself.

Amazing location with tons of natural light in the house. Feels like your almost on a boat with the water view. Very private with no neighbors on either side. Hosts went above and beyond in response to my initial request. Views of sunrise, moon over the water, fireflies, and fish popping out to catch their lunch, were all enchanting :)Will be coming back!

Location is close to Grand Rapids and easy to drive to downtown. House was remodeled recently and was clean. We spent time sitting by the river relaxing and that was nice. Great communication with home owners-they were very accommodating. Water does have strong sulphur smell in shower but plenty of bottled water available for cooking/drinking. Neighboring house looked sketchy but no issues. Only suggestion is to wash deck, mow grass, and tidy up the outside of the house and yard. Owner let us know about dirt in front which was no big deal. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the fun things to do in the area!

Deer, turtles, fish, woodpeckers, ducks, and so much more surrounds this home. The sunrises on the river are absolutely breathtaking. There is a ball park near by and some nights you can even watch fireworks from the porch. The home was clean and so cozy. We loved our time here so much that we extended our stay. The hosts are wonderful honest people that communicate well and are more than happy to help resolve any issues. We would love to come stay again.

After many VRBO rentals, this is our first negative review. There were many issues, but here are the top 3:
Old and uncomfortable beds
Too noisy inside (very loud fan blower on furnace) and outside (highway traffic)
Musty odors and sulfur water odors
As we heavily rely on reviews, we did not heed our own advice as we were lured in by that river view and the assumption that it would be quiet. Our usual stays in GR are at hotels. If you take the time to read the negative reviews, the complaints are all the same and spot on:: old and uncomfortable beds; musty odors, sulfur water odor; overpriced; repairs needed; dirty; mice, bugs, and spiders.

This was a great stay for after a wedding. It has a great location that is just off the highway but also tucked back on the water.
4.0
I would not recommend this property. The sulphur smelling water made us not want to cook or shower. The bathroom and bedroom doors didn't latch, the bedrooms were small, the yard needed mowed and the porch needed sweep. Not worth the money.
8.0
This is a conveniently located property on a quiet river stretch. I would call the accommodations comfortable. It felt like a friend had allowed us to stay in a well-worn family cottage for the weekend. Served our purposes.
8.0
View of River was lovely and the home was comfortable and well appointed. Communication with owner was excellent. Only negative is that the lot next door has an abandoned house that is in disrepair, which is an eyesore.
10.0
Very homey, appreciated the abundance of cooking ware as well as bedding. Seems that the owners are used to a vast array of guests so they are prepared for whoever may be utilizing the rental. Definitely would visit again!

This house reminded me of staying at my 90 year old grandma’s house:
Do you have to wash the dishes before you use them? YES
Are the beds old and uncomfortable? YES
Does the water smell like sulfur to the point that you avoid showering? YES
Are there mice in the kitchen? YES
Do you spend your time there apologizing to your family about the state of things and offer to get a hotel room instead? YES
Location was good, close to a lot of amenities. Quiet road.

A nice getaway on the by the river
The getaway delivered on what was described. This place was very warm and inviting. We were not able to take full advantage of the amenities outside, due to the weather. Would definitely return for full use.

Great proximity to downtown Grand Rapids
Great proximity to downtown and did the purpose for a 1 night stay. When we arrived there was quite a bit of water on the one bedroom floor that we just had to put towels over. Also the water has a terrible sulfur smell. Besides that ita a cute house on the river within reasonable driving to downtown.

Very enjoyable Birthday Weekend
The property owners are very nice and communicate very good. The property itself is really nice with beautiful views of the river. The fire pit is nice especially with it being located by the water. The rooms were comfortable and we didn’t feel cramped in the house at all. I would recommend giving this property a shot especially if visiting Grand Rapids area.

Getaway With Grandsons
Clean and cozy but still enough room for all 6 of us. Grandsons loved fishing the river, just off the deck by the firepit. When asked what was the best part of the trip, it was unanimous- fishing in the river.

Lovely Spot
Driving up to the location was a bit odd, the properties on either side of this VRBO were a bit unkempt. No worries though, this property was pretty well maintained! Inside was quirky, but well stocked. Outdoors the concrete area by the river wasn’t quite ready for guests-fire pit hadn’t been cleaned out recently and the slab had a couple pieces of long wood debris that looked like that’s been fished out of the river ? Other quirky thing was there were multiple window units for AC as well as central AC so cooling was uneven in all the rooms, it was HOT this past weekend so we definitely noticed that. Plenty of sleeping room for everyone though so we stayed cool enough. Overall just needed a face lift and a bit more attention to detail. Nice location related to downtown GR and very beautiful mornings on the river.

Cosy property near to everything
Nice property on the river, comfortable and cosy. We went in summer, the A/C units were noisy but did its job. Deck on the river and river view was amazing, what was not so great was the crumbling house to one side and an RV parked on the previous property. Only issue we had was with the well water having strong iron and sulfurous smell, strong enough to invade the drawing room. Very nice owners, courteous and prompt in all response. Overall a pleasant and comfortable stay.

Pros: the view of the river, responsiveness of the host, proximity to GR, water cooler for drinking water Cons: the water has a really strong rotten eggs /sulfur smell so washing hands and showering was very unpleasant plus I wouldn't use the washing machine; too many bugs/spiders inside the house; the bed we slept in was very old and not comfortable
