Family Christmas
Very beautiful, quiet and comfortable. We were hoping to ski and tubing at Cannonsburg but the weather did not cooperate. Found other activities for the family in Grand Rapids and the 28th st area.

Wonderful house. Spacious, clean and well stocked.
The house was perfect for our family. It was spacious and allowed for privacy when needed. The house had everything we needed and more - the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook our Thanksgiving dinner. There were toys for our kids to play with, extra blankets for the cold nights and more. Everything was clean and tidy and the location was perfect.

Italian Villa Private Escape
Exceptionally well maintained and furnished home. Modern exterior with surprising Italian Villa decor inside. Floor plan and activities available kept three generations of family happy and entertained, with children from one to seventeen. Heated salt-water pool was comfortably used even on cool days. Delightful VRBO!

GRAND RAPIDS VACATION HOMES

Hi, I'm Robb Baar!

I started renting out my home after being transferred to Minnesota for work. The positive feedback from my guests was nothing short of amazing! Since then, my brother and I have expanded our portfolio to include three more properties, and we take great pride in delivering an unforgettable "home away from home" experience to our guests.

I, Robb, am a financial adviser helping clients find the most efficient way to pay the least amount for college and maximize cash flow during retirement. Over four years ago, I moved to Roatan, Honduras, an island in the Caribbean. When I'm not assisting clients, I indulge in my passions for fishing, scuba diving, and traveling while working remotely.

Meanwhile, John holds down the fort in Michigan, ensuring that our properties are well-maintained and our guests' needs are met. Together, we've assembled an exceptional team to guarantee that your stay with us in West Michigan is nothing short of top-notch. Don't just take our word for it – our hundreds of 5-star reviews speak volumes about our commitment to making your Grand Rapids Vacation Homes experience a resounding success!

We sincerely appreciate your choice to stay with us. We look forward to hosting you!

- Robb, John & the Grand Rapids Vacation Homes team :)
