About this house rental

Preface: This is our home when in Michigan, not an investor's income property. As it is relatively new on VRBO, we have very few ratings yet. However, it has been listed on another major site for a few years now and has garnered there the equivalent of a 9.84/10 rating from over 120 stays.

Preface #2: Please review our house rules carefully before requesting a booking. Please confirm in a message before requesting to book that you have read this entire listing and are accepting our house rules. Please also provide us with some background about you and your party and what brings you to Belding.


Welcome to Our Happy Place, where original Craftsman architecture meets Mid Century Modern decor. Updated amenities and warm oak (even squeaky hardwood floors) blend to give you breathing room from the hustle and bustle of city living.
Relax in the garden, enjoy coffee in the river room, nap on the sofa.
Whether you spend your day kayaking on the Flat River (just down the hill at the public boat launch), skiing or tubing at Cannonsburg in the winter, watching or driving at the spectacular Grattan racetrack nearby, golfing at several great courses or visiting Fredrick Meijer Gardens, you’ll come home to Our Happy Place to enjoy a drink and a meal, or dine out at one of the area’s excellent restaurants. Then again, once settled in, you may not want to leave the house at all! If you time it just right, you may even see the local high school band marching down the hill.

This is a beautifully preserved original vintage Craftsman home with modern creature comforts and amenities.
Downstairs are a large and comfy living room, a separate study, a sitting/TV room (the "River Room"), a spacious dining room, a fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast counter, and a mudroom at the entrance from the driveway. A convenient half-bath is near the entrance.
Upstairs are two guest bedrooms. The master ("Llama Room") has a King size bed and a recently remodeled ensuite bathroom with a large shower. The other bedroom (the "Otter Room"...) has a Queen size bed and its own full bathroom across the hall with a tub and hand shower.

The front porch and the split level rear deck are furnished for lounging and enjoying the small town view out front or the secluded garden in back.
The Flat River is visible through the trees right down the hill in Fall, Winter and early Spring.

We welcome you to relax in and experience Our Happy Place!

We loved our stay at this lovely and charming house. It is beautifully decorated with everything that you would need. It is also very spacious with plenty of room for 4 adults. The house is located at the end of a quiet street which is perfect for relaxing inside or outside on the decks. The host was wonderful to work with and attentive to our needs. We would definitely stay there again. We thoroughly enjoyed “Our Happy Place.”
