Grand Rapids's short-term rental market moves fast

Summer and fall events

June through September is the peak, with August strongest. Festivals, craft beer travelers and trips to Lake Michigan beaches fill rentals.

A smaller, stricter market

Grand Rapids has far fewer rentals than similar cities because the rules limit entire-home rentals. That leaves room for hosts who are set up correctly.

Healthcare and conventions

Medical Mile visitors, business travelers and conventions fill midweek stays outside the summer peak.

Owner presence is the rule

Licensed rentals in the city generally require the owner to be present, so most stays are rooms or small bed-and-breakfast style properties.

A host's guide to Grand Rapids turnovers

Grand Rapids is known for its craft beer scene, the Medical Mile, downtown arts and festivals, and its position about 30 miles from Lake Michigan beaches. Visitors come for summer events, business and conventions, and fall color season.

Because of the city's licensing rules, short-term rentals here tend to be rooms in owner-occupied homes, bed-and-breakfast style properties and rentals in mixed-use districts. Hosts who are present often handle small turnovers themselves, but many look for a cleaner for busy weekends and longer stays.

What a Grand Rapids turnover usually includes

  • Stripping and remaking every bed with fresh linens, and restocking towels in each bathroom
  • Cleaning bathrooms top to bottom, including shower glass, grout and drains
  • Cleaning the kitchen, running the dishwasher and clearing the fridge of guest leftovers
  • Vacuuming and mopping all floors
  • Cleaning shared spaces and guest rooms in owner-occupied homes
  • Wiping porches, decks and outdoor seating
  • Handling winter grit and snow tracked into entries
  • Restocking supplies and following your access routine, such as a lockbox or smart lock
  • Taking after-clean photos so you can see the finished place without being there

Rules to check before you host in Grand Rapids

Short-term rental rules in the Grand Rapids area depend on where the property is and what kind of building it is. This is general information, not legal advice.

  • Grand Rapids licenses short-term rentals mainly as home occupations through the City Clerk, with a limited number of licenses for renting a room in your own home.
  • Entire-home rentals and accessory dwelling units are generally not allowed in residential zones.
  • Owners must be present during stays under the room-rental license.
  • Michigan use tax and Kent County hotel-motel tax apply to short stays, and platforms may collect some of it.
  • A zoning ordinance rewrite is expected, so rules may change.

Rules change often. Confirm current requirements with the City of Grand Rapids Clerk's office and Planning Department.
