What Is the Barn Swallow Manor
Built in the early 1900s, the original dairy barn and horse stable was fully converted in 2008-2009 and updated in the summer of 2022. The property boasts 11.5 charming country acres with beautiful views and a creek running through the center. Feel free to walk our fields and see turkeys, hawks, crane, deer, and possibly a bald eagle.

We stayed here for my daughter’s bachelorette party. It was the perfect space!
Very well stocked, well-kept and spacious property.
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.
My family spent our Christmas weekend at Barn Swallow and the place was awesome. Plenty of room for everyone.
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.
Loved the big space and eclectic style. We loved the story behind the building and will definitely be back again next year for our annual girls trip.
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!!!
We were there for less than 24 hours, but it was perfect!
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 spent 5 nights with our children and grandchildren. Pros: Lots of space. With 4 gathering areas for different activites for our group. Convenient location. Close to lots of options for anyone of every age! Really well stocked kitchen. Lots of thoughtful extras from hosts. Good lay out for people with children who need a quiet space away from larger the group, so they can nap or sleep eariler at night. Back porch and back yard were enjoyed greatly by our granddaughters. Tons of books, videos and games. Thoughtfully decorated with fun and eclectic vintage decor. Cons: Westwing didn't cool like the rest of the house. Very close to other residents (house) on the property. This didn't effect the quality of our stay however. We never heard any noice from anyone else on the property. We were disappointed in the farm aspect of the property. We didn't see anyplace that we could walk other than the fenced in back yard. We ran out of toilet paper and host refused to provide more...seemed rather odd since so many other things were provided. It wasn't the cost of purchasing more toilet paper that bothered us as much as having to make a special run into town just to get more. The recliners were comfortable but it was very hard to put the foot rests down. Anyone with a handicap (or who is elderly) had to have other family members help them lower the footrests.
Stayed at the Barn Swallow for our niece’s wedding in Grand Rapids. Great location and accommodations!
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 place is incredibly spacious. We stayed there with our three kids, their spouses, and their three kids (11 total) and had more than enough room. We also hosted two parties for family members who live in the GR area. Great screened-in back porch and a great yard. The house was extremely comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for large groups. And Valerie was an awesome, accommodating host!
We were in town for a wedding, so didn’t have much time to take advantage of the games and DVDs with which the place is stocked, but appreciated having a bed for everyone and a big table to sit around for breakfast or a late night snack. We were able to make a plan for sharing the bathrooms (with our size and aged group, we would have appreciated one more), so it was a great stay. Thoughtful touches throughout (including a well-stocked coffee bar!), clear instructions for WiFi, where to find things both inside the house and in the surrounding area, and check out. Very kind and responsive hosts (we struggled with the door code).
Clean, quiet and hospitable
Place was spacial and relaxing. Hosts were nice and great at communicating. This is a no problem stay. You will love it.
We enjoyed our stay at this wonderful location, with plenty of room for our party of 8. We really liked sitting on the back patio and enjoying the view and fellowship. We appreciated that the kitchen was stocked with all of our cooking necessities as well as the bathrooms being stocked with plenty of toiletries. I would definitely recommend this place!
Absolutely excellent accommodations. Eclectic stuff but brand new kitchen, bedrooms baths, towels. Great place to stay for awhile.
We loved the location, it was just far enough out of town to have some space but easy to get to shopping and our family events in town. Hosts were helpful and onsite to answer questions. Thanks!
Everything was absolutely beautiful!! The house was clean, very well organized and stocked. It literally had everything we needed and more. Would definitely recommend staying here and we will be back!!!! Great accommodations!!!
