About this property

Cottage in the Woods

Relax and enjoy the serenity of the woods behind you and the lake view in front of you. This warm, inviting cottage just yearns for a family to come and enjoy its amenities. Step inside this adorable cedar cottage and leave your cares behind.

Step on to the front porch and feel the Lake Macatawa breeze waft over you as you watch the boats glide by in the summer.

Curl up with a book on the sofa in the sunroom and enjoy the privacy of the back yard while you drink in the sunshine or listen to the rain falling softly around you. Whatever the season, this cottage will be a welcome respite from the rest of the world!

A full side yard allows for space for the children to play or a picnic for the whole family. What could be better?

Note: If you need more space for your guests (up to 6), add Listing #100316 (only 2 cottages away) to your rental.

Perfect spot

We loved our time at the cottage! The space was perfect for what we needed (3 bedrooms, a space for the kids to play, close to the water and downtown Holland, clean and homey). Chris was a great property manager- friendly, responsive, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable.

Beautiful home, perfect location, great owner

The house is gorgeous and had everything we needed. If you're looking to cook, the kitchen is great and the dining area lovely. There is also a screened-in porch out back which was a nice place to have coffee in the morning. There were a few questions we had during our stay and the owner responded quickly and provided us with all of the information we needed. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend the property and the owner.

Get Away

It was clean and well appointed! The location was really great. We liked that the master was on the first floor and our daughter’s room was upstairs! We are fairly tall and one of us is 6’6 and the furniture was comfortable! The only suggestion we would have is to have an electric griddle for guests to use!

Beautiful quiet spot

The house is on a quiet street in walking distance from the marina. It is clean and has an airy pleasant atmosphere. We had only 4 of us so the 3 bedroom house was perfect. I appreciated the ease of check in and out with this location. The key instructions and checkout instructions were easy to find and easy to follow. I will book this again. Especially if we bring our boat next time.

Tulip Time In Holland

Great location. Fair price. Very quiet place to retire with the family after a day of looking at tulips. Hostess was very helpful. Place was furnished well and provided with all the necessities. Would stay here again and definitely recommend this VRBO.

Great Family Vacation

We enjoyed our family vacation at the Cottage in the Woods. The house was very clean and the rooms were comfortable. The owner was great to work with and very accommodating. The only thing I would advise is the basement is clean, however maybe not suitable for adult sleeping as it is dark with very low ceilings. Location is great for this property with easy access for our kayaks/paddleboards just a short walk down the street. We would definitely stay here again.

Good for families

This house worked super well for our family of 3 with a 2 year old. I stayed upstairs with him and the bedrooms share a bathroom in between and can be completely closed off from the rest of the house. The carpeted stairs were very quiet so I could walk around without waking my toddler. There’s lots of bed options for kids-pack and plays and a toddler bed upstairs. Even a changing table and high chair!The only thing we needed was a gate for the stairs but it wasn’t a big deal. One thing to mention is that you definitely cannot see the lake from the house. Maybe if you look very hard across the street between the neighbors landscaping. Otherwise no view! But we found the house very comfortable and good for families with children.

Family Friendly Retreat

As two families of young children. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage. One family shared the master with their 2 year old. Meanwhile, we stayed in the upstairs bedroom which adjoined (via jack-and-jill bath) another bedroom for our 2 & 6 year old. There was plenty of space for the kids to play and relax plus the home was equipped with kid-friendly amenities (ie. night lights, booster seat, high chair, small crib, etc.). Short drive to beach and downtown Holland for shopping & dining. Very clean and well-stocked. If anything, the description on this site undersells the property which boasts more than listed here. Highly satisfied with our stay.

Perfect family reunion house

We stayed here with our grown children and grandchildren for a family reunion in the area. The layout of the home worked well for us. The great room was comfortable, though written instructions to use the Roku television control would be helpful. The location was great, the lot was very nice and loved the front porch in the shade of the large trees. There was plenty of parking space for our three vehicles. The kitchen was well-supplied and easy to work in. The screened in porch was lovely, too. A larger television would be appreciated in the upper lever bedroom than 12”. The master and other queen bedroom televisions were great sizes. The home is a short drive to a world-class beautiful Michigan beach. Our grandchildren loved fishing off the dock in the marina just down the street around the corner and the channel. The tree swing was enjoyed by the kids while we sat in the lawn swing nearby. The neighborhood was beautiful. We would definitely stay here again.

AWESOME!!

We have vacationed along Lake Michigan as family for about 17 years but this is the first time we have stayed in Holland. Absolutely loved the location of the house. It is very close to the Holland State Park and with it being across the street from Lake Macatawa it feels like you are right on the lake. Previous reviews are accurate that the pictures doe not do the house justice. The living room has two - three seat sofas which can't be seen in the pictures so plenty of seating for everyone. The table was expanded to seat six for us. The bathrooms were very nice and plenty roomy. I would recommend that if you are staying in the master bedroom and want to use your own products in the shower that you bring a caddy that can hang on the shower door as there is not shelf other than a soap shelf. The master bedroom is HUGE! LOVED the front porch. The pictures make it look very dark but it was perfect. The shade was a little cool so maybe pack a sweatshirt even if it is going to be warm while you are there so you can enjoy the porch. The back porch is great but it comes off the master so it isn't easy to use early in the morning if someone is still sleeping or getting ready in the master. The kitchen is well stocked. Paper towels and toilet paper was also well stocked. We had a couple of questions for the owners while we were there and they were quick to reply. I can't say enough good things about this rental! Looking forward to staying here again in 2024!!

Very clean, lovely house

The house was sparkling clean and in a nice location for both summer on the lake and fall hiking at Mt. Pisgah. Note that the neighbors are very close, so not at all private and no coffee maker, k-cups only. The owner was flexible when we were running late checking out, which was very much appreciated! Thank you!
