A century later, in 2008–2009, it was lovingly transformed into a welcoming country retreat, with a thoughtful refresh in 2022. While preserving the barn’s rustic character, we infused the interior with mid-century modern design and original pieces personally curated to reflect the beauty and simplicity of that era. The result is a space that feels both timeless and inviting — a place where history, style, and comfort come together to welcome families, friends, and travelers seeking peace and room to breathe. ________________________________________

The Barn is simply a wonderful place. Comfortable, clean, spacious, well-maintained and well-stocked with lots of little extras. We very much enjoyed being able to eat together at the large dining table. The hosts, Diane and Valerie, were immediately available to answer any question with a phone call but other than that we never saw or heard them. When I arrived on Friday evening, Diane was salting the driveway and sidewalk. The driveway was also plowed immediately after the snowfall. The Barn is a great place for a cozy family gathering!
My family (ages 61 down to 3 months) were in Grand Rapids for a wedding, and stayed longer to celebrate Christmas together. The house had toys, high chair and pack and play for the babies, and was clean for the toddlers to play on the floor. The toys and children’s’ books were so appreciated. The house was large to give everyone their space, but so cozy and comfortable for us to be together. The Christmas decorations were so fun! The kitchen had everything we needed and a nice coffee bar. The heated floors are the “bomb”It is close enough to everything we needed but was so nice in its rural location. There is room outside to run around.Valerie and Diane were very responsive and accommodating. My family was so appreciative!”
Everything was just as described on the site and more! We loved the openness and accessibility to the property, inside and outside. Very clean, friendly hosts, great communication with timely responses.
We had such a wonderful time. The place was clean and spacious, and the communication with the host was easy and quick. Easy check-in, nice location, just outside of the busyness and traffic of the city, but close enough to everything in GR!
This is a very roomy place that we love to stay at! Lots of room and the kitchen has everything we need. Location is perfect and the hostess is very attentive. Highly recommend!
We loved our stay at Barn Swallow! House was beautiful, very clean, and stocked with everything we could've possibly needed and more! Would highly recommend booking for a multi-family trip!
This property is amazing! It is very spacious, clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need! The hosts wereGreat and easy to work with and the property is exactly as listed. Loved it!
We had a great stay, and will definitely return if we’re in the area again. The fenced in backyard and enclosed sun porch were the perfect hang out. Everything was well stocked and clean.
We loved our stay and were so impressed by the cleanliness and spaciousness of the home. We were in town for a wedding, and it was wonderful to have so much room to share with out of town family! Very comfortable stay, and so well stocked with everything needed for a long stay!
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.
We were surprised how well stocked the kitchen was with pots and pans. We had a wonderful time. Our teen girls youth group enjoyed cooking, watching princess bride, playing games, and telling stories. We all wanted to stay longer! Thank you Barn Swallow for a delightful stay.
The place was amazing. So much room and comfort. Everything was easy to use as there were detailed signs for use of everything. Great communication with the owners. We would definitely stay again and recommend for others
Very clean and large, well-stocked with lots of equipment so it was very comfortable. Handicap-accessible. Be aware there is a second floor that other people stay in, but access to both units is thru a common foyer and there is a security door into the first-floor unit.
The Dairy Barn was the perfect place for our family to gather and celebrate a GVSU graduation. It was clean, spacious and had everything we needed to feel at home for the weekend.
What a delightful stay. Out of the hustle bustle but so close to everything. No detail was missed. Fully stocked, clean, quiet and spacious. Great value for the space. Will definitely go back if we are in that area. Friendly host too!!
Property and home is beautiful and very relaxing. The extra ammenities were an amazing feature. The grounds are very peaceful. The home was a perfect place to stay for the weekend of our daughters wedding. All the bridesmaids stayed with us and enjoyed getting ready here together.
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!

The kitchen had everything you could want to make a large family meal! French toast and bacon for 8 was a lot of food. This is a large home with bedrooms for all of us. 3 generations of us attending a local wedding that was 7 minutes away was perfect. All on one floor was a treat. I would book this again should an event come up.
WOW! Eclectic retro done professionally and tastefully. THIS is a gem with every comfort provided -and it feels like Home with the details, thought and effort the owners poured into each room. We've stayed at many rentals over the past 33 yrs & this is one of the nicest.
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!
