About this property

Pet Friendly and peaceful setting!

This quiet house is snuggled back away from the Leonard boulevard with a beautiful view of the valley. The homes' history suggests it used to be a carriage house! The main house by the road used to be a parsonage, but behind the main house is our carriage (guest) house, so the servants quarters would have been above the lower carriage storage on the second floor. This is where you, our house guests, will sleep. There is a fully furnished kitchen and bathroom (shower only) with comfortable seating on the upper and main floors. Outdoor seating behind the house and on the back patio helps you relax while watching nature and listening to the outdoor sounds. Within walking distance to the local Lamont Park and historical cemetery, you can take short walks around our little town. The house is currently showing it's "age" and we have plans to renovate the attic space. Please keep in mind this is a VERY OLD house and it will not be perfect. There are cracks/paint touch ups and small repairs that need to be done during the winter months when the prime vacation season is finished. But its' imperfections add character, right?
The pool (open June - August), fire pit and sports court are available for our guests.

Charming cabin

Overall this was a very nice stay for my family and dog, especially if you're just looking for a peaceful place to hunker down.The only things I would want anyone to know before booking is that the cabin is right up against some woods and, thus, bugs. My daughter found a tick on her and there were several stink bugs and prolly pollies trotting around. Not a big deal unless you have bug phobias. Also, the path to the house is not paved, so you may want to take that into account with your luggage and footwear.

Great stay!

Great location for the event we came for in Grand Rapids! Although it wasn’t an issue for us, the twin beds listed were air mattresses that you have to blow up with a supplied pump. There were 3 twin-size air mattresses. We had a great stay!

Relaxing stay at great location

Country living in a small village along the Grand River just outside of the Grand Rapids metro area… We were able to visit with family living in GR during our several week stay which made it very convenient for us, but also allowed us to do multiple days trips to Lake Michigan and other regional locations as well. Accessing the property’s relaxing pool was great. Communication with Heidi & Kyle during our stay was just the right touch of being responsive to our needs while allowing privacy as well.

Quaint and cozy

Not really comfortable for 5 as advertised. The futon was in disrepair and there were no twin beds as listed in the amenities. Very cute place for two or 3. Very peaceful. Would stay again, just with my spouse and my pups only.

Great for a Couple

This property is very nice. The house is in good shape especially for the age, the bed and futon are on the second story which was not a problem for us. The heated pool was an added bonus and the setting behind the main house is great!

First time in Michigan

It advertises as a 1 bedroom that sleeps 5, with one queen bed, 2 twin beds, and a futon. There was not 2 twin beds….there was 2 air mattress’….not comfortable at all! Also I’m glad we didn’t have 2 more because there wouldn’t have been enough blankets. We actually went and bought some. Just walking around in our socks they got pretty dirty. Would have enjoyed a tv and more seating in the living area. Yes the area is small but you could make it work.

Convenient and dog friendly

Grateful for a place that will allow our puppies. Owners very friendly and accommodating. Little house is old and historic so know ahead of time not to expect a typical “newly remodeled” rental…it does show its age. Good place for us to use as a home base and to sleep as we had a weekend full of activities at GVSU. Perfect size for the two of us and our pups!

About the host

Hosted by Heidi Parcher

Host profile image
The Parcher family consists of 4 young men, three wives, 2 grandchildren and their parents. All four are out of the house, but stop by frequently. We have home schooled the boys and they are now enjoying their early twenties.

Why they chose this property

If you are looking for a quiet peaceful home to take a rest, this is the place! Enjoy some "down time" relaxing in our pool. We are 5 minutes away from Allendale and Coopersville. We are 15 minutes away from downtown Grand Rapids and 30 minutes from Grand Haven beach.

What makes this property unique

This unique home qualifies as historic!
Built in the 1830's, there are many stories this house could tell. The most profound piece of information is that the main house was built for a Methodist pastor and his family of Lamont. He would have parked his horse and carriage in the house you will be staying in and possibly have some servants living in the upper floor to help with the estate. Remember, this house has little dents and scratches because it is so old. We try to save our projects for the down time during the winter months. So, keep in mind you will be visiting a OLD house in the COUNTRY with country smells and country critters outside and possibly a couple bugs inside when the weather warms up or cools down with the weather changes.
