Oct 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This is a beautiful, old home right near downtown Hudsonville. We were in town hosting an event at Terra Square. With a historic home comes a couple of challenges with retrofitting appliances and amenities. The dishwasher was far from the sink in a hallway cabinet, drawers were difficult to open, and the refrigerator door does not open fully. I don’t see how the host could have set it up differently given the home layout. Hot and cold water comes out of different faucets in the bathroom. You wash your face with either cold water or really hot water.You had also be prepared to climb some serious stairs to the second floor. My parents were not making it up there. Not a fault of the home or owner, just a warning. ##### Amy H. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel M. Sep 12, 2025 ##### Rachel M.
