Four brothers met for annual get together. We enjoyed a car show, drag racing and oval track racing. The house location was perfect for all events. Grand Rapids was beyond our expectations for comfort and activity. Local restaurants were very good. The house was comfortable and had plenty of space. Kitchen and baths were especially nice. Very nice stay.
