Minutes from Holland, minutes from the beach.

The location is perfect for a visit to the Holland area. Visits to resort towns are a reasonable drive for a day of sight seeing. The cottage is immaculate and well equipped for visitors. It is in a quiet, wooded lot and was a good size for us and our small dog. The home has wifi but does not have cable.

Great Easy Host and Perfect Location

First off, we live in Colorado in a resort town, and I grew up in West Michigan, so our expectations were high, and met. We had family staying east of hwy 31, and in Saugatuck, and we attended a wedding at the Felt Mansion. The location for this was perfect. My Mom is 83 and has some mobility issues and she navigated the house with no problems. Great easy walks with our dog Jake. Kathy is a great communicating host, but not too much :). Thank you Kathy!

Grandson 10 year old vacation

This is our last grandson to take on a 10-year-old vacation all by himself with Grammy and Grampy. We had wonderful weather in Holland, Michigan and he enjoyed everything we did and was disappointed when he heard we were leaving the next day. He lives in a really large house in Ohio, but he thought this house was wonderful.

Great place!

The house was super clean, nicely decorated, had comfortable beds, and stocked with all the kitchen necessities. The backyard with fire pit was the perfect place to relax and take in nature. Short drive to state park, breweries, restaurants, etc. Also easy access to the short Sanctuary Woods trail.

Cozy place!

Great location, close to everything yet the backyard makes you feel like your deep in the woods. Great firepit area. Lots of places to walk our dog, getting her good and tired before we went out to visit some wineries as well as our favorite restaurant (Bowdies in Saugatuck). Would stay here again.

Perfect getaway

We picked this house due to proximity to so many different parks and tourist-y. This was exactly what we needed with two young kids on our first family vacation. Everything was easy from check in to check out. The space was clean and exactly what it said on the listing.

Great Location

Great location close to the Saugatuck dunes state park/Saugatuck/Downtown Holland. Well placed to enjoy those aspects, plus close to one of the only public beaches in the area. House rules were very descriptive, but no unduly so.

1st trip to Michigan

We had a great week staying at this pet-friendly home in Holland, Michigan. The area is very nice for walking the dog and views of Lake Macatawa were only 2 blocks away. The house is a little drive from the downtown area, and about 20 minutes away from the state park beach access, but it didn’t deter us from getting to see and do a lot of fun things in the area. We loved Holland so much we are considering retiring there someday!

Relaxing Stay

We had a very nice and relaxing getaway! The house is cozy and comfortable and very well-equipped. We enjoyed the family of deer that would come daily in the woods behind the house. The house is private and tucked away yet close to all amenities. It was the perfect escape for our family. Saugatuck is 15 minutes away and we enjoyed shopping there and taking scenic drives and walks. Big thanks to Kathy for letting us enjoy her lovely house and for her great communication.

Terrific location, cozy surroundings

We lived in the area for 35 years and were returning for a visit with family & friends. This cottage is in such a lovely area, a few miles out of town and very wooded. Close to hiking trails, Lake Macatawa harbors and all the fun things in downtown Holland without being in the center of town. The fall colors were awesome in Mid-October and we enjoyed campfires in the backyard in the evening. Kathy was a superb correspondent and we appreciated that our pets traveling with us were accommodated - they had lots of space around the house to stretch their legs.

We enjoyed our most recent stay near Lake Macatawa. The location is great for walking down near the water and around the neighborhood. Downtown is an easy drive. We found a nice trail to walk out to the Dunes and the Lake near Saugatuck. We would highly recommend. Thank you for everything. Tim

Weekend getaway

We had a fun weekend at tulip time and exploring local breweries! We enjoyed the fire pit a lot (helpful tip: bring a lighter and roasting sticks and buy wood). Cute house to stay in- kitchen was well equipped, nice outdoor area, plenty of wash rags and towels. The shower head is pretty short (at 5’8” I had to duck to wash my hair). Perfect place for 2 couples or a family of 4!

Very nice home in a very shaded nature scape. We saw deer, new born bunnies, various birds, etc. The hostess provided Everything we needed for our stay, plus some extra "goodies" upon arrival. This property is close to the water, shopping, restaurants, movie theaters, various things to do, beaches, etc. We made so many awesome memories that it was sad to end our family vacation.
