Peaceful Waters

We rented this home as a little getaway after quarantining for many weeks. Upon arrival, the first thing that we noticed was how clean the house was. It was also stocked with everything we could possibly need - extra blankets and night lights in every bedroom, fans, space heaters, games & children's books, pool floats galore, etc. The owner has thought of everything to make your stay easy and he also reached out to me more than once to make sure everything was going well with our stay. The pool was also great - the water was clear and warm and there is so much room on the deck to sit, eat, etc. It was also really nice to have access to the garage. We loved our stay!

Family Getaway

My hat goes off to Robb, the owner, and Ashley the property manager.   They both are wonderful people to work with. The house, pool, pool toys / accessories, and backyard areas are amazing.  We pulled up in front of the house and thought that the house would not be big enough for my extended family of 14 siblings and young children.   Well, you open up the front door and see that the house extends to the rear where the pool and backyard is located.  As it turned out, we spent the entire five nights at the house...!!   We enjoyed it so much that no one took any day trips into Grand Rapids or the surrounding areas.  Well, my brother-in-law and I did make a quick trip down to the Gunn Lake casino which was about a 25 minute drive.  ;-)    We also took nightly trips to the Red Caboose Ice Cream parlor which was a about a 15 minute drive.  As you read in the other reviews, Mike's Pizza and another ice cream place are right around the corner.  Walking distance for both.  There were at least three large umbrellas affixed to the tables on the deck which were perfect for those who try to stay out of the sun.  Everyone was able to be together on the two decks and pool area.  The gas grill, large beach towels, and sunscreen near the rear patio door were nice touches.  We have a lot of older children, nieces, nephews, non couples, etc.,  that need their own bed and Peaceful Waters' bedroom layout was pretty good.   If Robb could squeeze in two twin/full beds in one of the bedrooms that have a Queen, that would be ideal.  The fully stocked Kitchen and other necessary stuff that you may need while on vacation were already in the house.  The coffee bar is a hit.  Has anyone mentioned that there is another full size refrigerator in the garage..?? BONUS..!!  

My sister-in-law was not a big fan of the fire pit out back because she dropped a burning marshmallow on her bare foot one night.  Well, it was not the fire pit's fault.  She was not paying attention to the burning marshmallow on her stick and was more worried about the graham cracker and chocolate falling out of her hand.  A burning marshmallow on bare skin..??  Ouch..!!   I cannot add any more positive comments than what the other guests have shared in their reviews.  I have been researching vacation homes for my family since 2015 and I read ALL house reviews with a fine toothed comb.  The reviews you are reading on Peaceful Waters are spot on..!!   The photos in the gallery and the doll house views of the house are excellent.  Did I mention that Ashley and Robb were wonderful to work with...??   We were so impressed with GR Vacations Homes that my family is considering returning to Peaceful Waters every year.  My family is VERY picky about the vacation homes we are spending money on and if they are excited about returning to Peaceful Waters and the other homes that Robb owns you can bank on the fact that Peaceful Waters will not disappoint.  Enjoy.   

Annual Family Vacation

We had our family reunion at the Alto, MI house and enjoyed our stay.   The house had plenty of room for our extended family.  My son is confined to a wheelchair so the ramp and multiple bedrooms on the main floor were very helpful.   He was able to access the house, deck, pool, and yard easily.  The beds were cozy and comfortable.  The deck was spacious and had plenty of seating.  The kids enjoyed the fire pit and the s'mores (those supplies were provided along with roasting sticks!)  The yard was private and had plenty of room to set up our corn hole games.  Mike's Pizza had great pizza and pasta just down the road and the local ice cream shop was within walking distance as well.  We all enjoyed the pool and sitting out on the deck drinking coffee and eating breakfast in the morning in the beautiful MI weather.  We had a great time and Ashley was readily available to answer questions and help with anything we needed.  Robb, the owner, was easy to work with to set up our stay as well.  

Family Reunion

We enjoyed our stay in Alto very much. When you pull into the driveway the house looks quite small but don't be alarmed, the house is spacious and lovely inside and the deck and back yard are large with many amenities. We really loved the fact that all the light switches and kitchen cabinets/drawers are labeled which made being in an unfamiliar environment so much more comfortable. There were many small touches that made the home very welcoming, including a fully stocked coffee bar that kept our family very happy.

Wonderful Home

Clean, spacious, extremely well kept & affordable.
