2 Bedroom House in Byron Center

Hello My Traveling Friend,
Welcome to Barn Swallow Manor, our beloved historic dairy barn turned country retreat on 11.5 peaceful acres. From the outside, it may look like a quaint barn — but step through the door and you’ll find a surprisingly spacious, open home filled with light, comfort, and thoughtful touches. Designed in a warm mid-century modern style, the space features many original pieces personally curated to capture the charm of that era, bringing back fond memories for those who love its timeless character.
Our fully updated, step-free first-floor guest suite offers privacy, space, and every comfort of home — just minutes from Tanger Outlets, Gun Lake Casino, Grand Rapids, and local dining. We are also close to Holland, Saugatuck and Gun Lake (Yankee Springs).

Our History
In the early 1900s, Barn Swallow Manor began its life as a sturdy dairy barn and horse stable, standing watch over the rolling fields and quiet creek. A century later, in 2008–2009, it was lovingly transformed into a welcoming country retreat, with a thoughtful refresh in 2022. While preserving the barn’s rustic character, we infused the interior with mid-century modern design and original pieces personally curated to reflect the beauty and simplicity of that era. The result is a space that feels both timeless and inviting — a place where history, style, and comfort come together to welcome families, friends, and travelers seeking peace and room to breathe.

Summary: Loved it-inside & out. Just wish the grounds weren't quite so wet-so we could have walked all the great outdoors! But that is Michigan weather. Hope to go again.

Summary: Ad Accuracy/Arrival: The description and pictures do not do this place justice! I stayed here for 3 days and two nights with my kids when we came up for a ballet event at the Peter Martin We've Theater @ Grand Rapids Ballet. We were bowled over the moment we pulled in the driveway. There's just no way the pictures can really convey the actual size of this space and it is SO PRETTY!!! Space: Normally a place of this size would seem sparse and spartan but Valerie and Brendan have just went all the way with making this space into a comfortable and well appointed home. Amenities: There is nothing, and I mean nothing missing. Shampoo, conditioner and soap in the shower; stocked towels and toilet paper; laundry detergent and dishwasher soap; full range of cutlery and dishware; every appliance and service accessory you can imagine (keurig, iced tea maker, four slice toaster, pitchers and carafes, tea service etc.) and a large variety of coffee, teas, sweeteners, condiments etc. The bedrooms have extremely comfortable beds and the fold out twin beds are actually comfortable! Between all of the cabinets and amenities, it's like there's a miniature Bed Bath & Beyond store neatly tucked into this house! My kids my hours playing games from the massive selection in the second living room (because who doesn't have two living rooms?) and an equal amount of time devising ways to extend our stay 🤣 the dog crates in the three seasons room were such a convenience! Exterior: There is an actual concrete sidewalk style walking path out back in a fully fenced in backyard. The beautiful stainless steel grill on the back porch is no doubt going to be awesome for the summer and the benches convert into picnic tables! Host/Hostess: Valerie was absolutely one of the kindest and most patient hosts to date!!! She even came down and met our fur babies and we chatted for quite a while; she told us the history of the home and how it came to be, which was so lovely! She messaged me back within 5 minutes each time I reached out to her. Valerie and Brendan are amazing! Overall: We didn't want to leave! We're already planning on a return trip just to have fun at the house! 10/10 A+
