About this cottage rental
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.

This property was in a quiet, lovely neighborhood, and it was situated in the back yard of the owner's house right next to the pool. The first level had a small kitchen with a table and chairs with two additional upholstered chairs that were comfortable for sitting and reading a book. The 2nd level was a large loft with a queen bed and an additional piece of furniture that could be used as a bed. The host was very responsive to any of our questions, and we appreciated that we could bring our dog. We liked the small-town feeling that was only 30 minutes from Grand Rapids where you can explore a bigger city. We also visited Holland and Muskegon while we were there and enjoyed those cities.

While this was a fine place to stay for a bit, I wouldn't choose to stay here again. The carriage house is cute but older and quite worn down, and I ran into several spiders and bugs indoors. The window AC unit struggled to cool the space, so I had to leave the windows open the whole time—if it had been peak summer heat, it wouldn't have been manageable. The pool was also green and, for me, unusable. Finally, the front lawn features a massive, highway-sized political sign that felt a bit imposing and made the overall environment feel uncomfortable.
