Large Space, Comfy and Spacious

Hello My Traveling Friend,

Welcome to the Barn Swallow, our beloved Dairy Barn!
This fully updated and accessible first floor lodging accommodates 4 guests (and two pets) of all ages and abilities. We do not allow cats however due to allergy issues. We do require our guests to crate your dog when you have left the house. We have (2) 3x4 crates for your use.

Enjoy comfort and privacy inside and 11.5 country acres outside, close to restaurants, Tanger Outlet, hospitals, Gun Lake casino, Grand Rapids, and much more.

The 1st level of our Barn House is perfect for family vacations or simply gathering with friends. The four-bedroom and two-bedroom options are never rented out at the same time to provide our guests with privacy, exactly what they need, and two pricing options.

We also do not rent out the 2nd and 3rd floors as this is our home too. Because we have self check-in and coded locks, we rarely see or hear our guests unless they need to contact us.

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.
