Excellent stay for a wedding weekend
Our son got married at Railside and this place was perfect for our stay. So close to the venue and we enjoyed a great dinner one night in downtown Byron Center. Also walked the Kent Trail a few times which was beautiful! Close to groceries, gas etc. Property was beautiful, spacious and clean. Groomsman stopped by on their way to the venue and enjoyed a nice lunch. We got subs from the catering menu at Subway in town. They were so nice and helpful and it was really good! Excellent stay. Would highly recommend!

Visiting family in Grand Rapids
We had a wonderful stay. The place was perfect for visiting with family especially if they require it to be handicapped accessible. The back yard and porch were fantastic We saw a bald eagle, hawks, blue birds, herons, deer, and the neighbor’s cows. It was peaceful and quiet and yet only five minutes from the shopping area. Lovely place.

What a great place to stay! Everything was what was online. One of the best places we've stayed. We're from the state of Wyoming, and the back reminded us of home. So peaceful. The hosts were great! It was bitter sweet to leave. We had 7 people with us, and there was plenty of room. I would recommend this location for your next stay!

Great place!
This place was such a blessing to us! We stayed with our entire family and elderly father while our mother was in the hospital for surgery. This home provided us with a comfortable place to call home for the week. Every detail was amazing, the handicap accessibility was much needed, and the decor was bright and cheery! There is so much room that it never felt crowded and our teenager was able to have much needed space for quiet downtime. Wonderful property owners too!

Huge/Nice place but they had quiet time hours?
We didnt realize that owners were living on the 2nd and 3rd floor. Its not a big deal until we seen a note on the wall that quiet time is between 10pm and 8am. There was nothing in the listing about that. Overall we try to keep it down we did not have any issues during out stay. Its a great place for alot of people. The place is huge!

We greatly appreciated the cleanliness, size, value, and location of this property. The Christmas decorations were a pleasantly surprising touch, as our visit was over Christmas weekend. It made the holiday extra special for our young grandchildren! The hosts were a joy to work with and were most responsive to inquiries. Many thanks to them!

Our family was in town for a wedding. We were impressed with the spacious bedrooms, cleanliness (I wasn't expecting that as they allow dogs) and how well the place was stocked with towels, sheets, access to washer dryer, etc. Great place to hang out and watch movies in the evening. Cute vintage Christmas decorations, too! Highly Recommend.

Great place to stay for a group!
We had so much room! Our group was 6 women that were both family and friends. One girl is disabled and my mom struggles with mobility. The hostesses were attentive and everything you needed was provided, right down to a set of reusable insulated coffee cups with different colored sleeves to keep track of cups. We enjoyed playing games at the dining room table that had seating for 10 people and we watched a movie in the living room that had 2 couches and 3 recliners and tons of movies, books, audio books, etc. The kitchen had plenty of room and every utensil, bowl, plate, pan, and measuring item we needed. There were 3 bathrooms, so plenty of space for 6 women to get ready in the morning. I really can't say enough positive things about our stay!!!
