BEDROOMS ARE MADE WITH COMFORT IN MIND

Four beautiful themed bedrooms await you. The upstairs bedrooms have high definition televisions with free Xfinity Cable--just in case you need some quiet time away from friends and family. All four bedrooms have top quality king mattresses and WIRELESS PHONE CHARGERS on each night stand. The master bedroom (the HOLLAND room) has an en-suite with double sink and large rainfall shower with high windows and skylights. All shades in the master bedroom are controlled by remote controls. The MACATAWA and SAUGATUCK rooms have beautiful windows and furnishings. A full bathroom lies between these two bedrooms. The WOODLAND room in the den/ basement has a beautiful view of the surrounding woods. The bonus room has a twin over twin bunk bed. Another full bathroom is located between WOODLAND and the bonus room. Finally, 2 portable memory foam twin mattresses with linens are available if needed.

LAUNDRY IS NO PROBLEM

Although you are on vacation to relax sometimes you just need to run a quick load of laundry. We installed 2 washers and 2 dryers to help alleviate the congestion of a large group.

WHERE CAN I PARK?

We provide for all guests a two car garage with garage door openers! There is also ample parking in the driveway for additional vehicles should you need more space.

FUN STUFF TO DO? OF COURSE--IT'S HOLLAND!

The things we love the most about this home, besides the house itself, are the local accommodations. We have two full wooded acres and a stream in the far back of the property. Lots of wildlife, especially turkey, squirrels, deer, and woodpeckers, make our two acres their home. Walk up the street for a few hundred feet and you will find Sanctuary woods, a nature preserve with trails and bridges. In addition, there is a bike path directly in front of our home. You will see joggers and bikers and people walking their dogs most of the day. The bike trail network in the Holland area is extensive and runs for many many miles in all directions. Bike rentals are available locally, and the marina is just a one minute drive north. There you can rent slips for even very large boats that you can take directly onto Lake Macatawa, or even Lake Michigan, which is just a stone's throw away from the shipyard. A boat rental company is adjacent to the shipyard. There you can rent boats (of all types), paddle boards, kayaks and more. Lake Michigan has limited public access sites, so we are fortunate to be a mere 6 minutes from Laketown Beach. A little drive will get you to larger parks--Saugatuck Dunes, Oval Beach, or Holland State Park. You can get to beautiful downtown 8th street Holland in less than 14 minutes and quaint downtown Saugatuck also in 14 minutes. Both places have fantastic restaurants and shopping. There are so many things to do and see in the Holland area! Please review our detailed welcome book for our personal choices for restaurants, entertainment, and more!

Tranquility Meets Convenience

This was one of the best houses we’ve had the pleasure of renting. The hosts clearly thought of everything you may need during your stay. The home was spacious to provide moments of peacefulness and places to gather for family time. We enjoyed hiking Sanctuary Woods a few steps north from the home, and riding our bikes towards town. A 5 minute drive to Laketown Beach yielded a fabulous spot for sunset watching atop the dunes. Overall, this property is in a great location, terrifically scenic, and full of modern amenities to make your vacation great—we would love to return!

You will find everything you need for a relaxing get away here. It is well equipped with the comforts of home. The hosts are very communicative, and take great pride in their home and it shows. Our favorite place was the expansive back deck that overlooked the beautiful gardens. Deer and turkey wandered through regularly.

Can’t say enough good about Jayne and The Holland Retreat! 5 stars is not sufficient, but will have to do.

Perfect family retreat home

We stayed at Jaynes home for a family weekend and couldn’t have picked a better spot. Upon arriving, the house was incredibly clean and spacious. The bedrooms all had comfortable beds. The kitchen was stocked with any equipment you could possibly need and we cooked A LOT! The hot tub and fire pit area were excellent touches, especially since our weather wasn’t perfect. It was a 5 minute drive to an easy market for most things we needed. We will be back for sure!

One of the best VRBO homes in Holland, MI

We thoroughly enjoyed our Thanksgiving weekend at Holland Retreat. The home is very clean and well stocked with all necessities. The kitchen is large and well equipped - the drawers are even labeled to ensure everything is where it belongs! Many amenities. Great family home. Limited dining room space for larger gatherings, but accommodates 8-10 people comfortably. Would definitely return for future stays in Holland MI.

This home is absolutely gorgeous, completely updated, well appointed, and the location is very convenient. The hot tub, large deck and fire table were fun additions and used frequently!

Perfect Getaway

My siblings and our spouses visited Holland in October 2023. The space is perfect for 4 couples to occupy with privacy. The home is exactly as described, and everything you need is there! The owners of the home provide a wonderful guidebook with instructions and reviews of lots of places to eat and visit. The deck and backyard are fabulous. We had rain and didn't get to use them. This a lovely home, and I would return. Sharon Travis

A Wonderful Holland Retreat

What an amazing retreat! We (6 Adults, 3 Children) came to the house to celebrate a birthday, and this place was exactly what we wanted and hoped for. Four king beds made the rooms very accessible and comfortable. The basement and outdoor amenities (hot tub!) were very well used. The kitchen and grill were well stocked and ready for our big meal. The house was private and in the shade (which helped with the heat), and close to both Holland and Saugatuck. The check-in display, with the associated videos describing how to use each item, was a nice touch. We all agreed we'd come here again in a heartbeat!

Roomy, relaxing home

We had a family gathering here. We used 2 of the 3 upstairs bedrooms, plus the bedroom on the lower level so each couple had their own bathroom. All also had king beds, a plus. The arcade game was fun and several people tried out the hot tub. We also had a lovely evening around the gas fire pit. The host was great to work with. She had the most accessible, user friendly booklet and e-wall display with the main information for using appliances and check-out. Very helpful!

Holland Retreat

The Holland Retreat was a perfect destination for our family trip. The home was spacious and comfortable. We had plenty of room for the six adults and three children in our group. We had short drives to Saugatuck (Oval Beach, Sailing Saugatuck, and dining) and downtown Holland (shopping and dining). The spacious deck accommodated the full crew for meals and the basement was a perfect play area for the kids. The owners were professional and responsive. They provided useful information regarding sights to see and enjoy in the greater Holland area. The Holland Retreat will be at the top of our list when we return to southwest Michigan.

Just Wonderful

This property is a hidden gem nestled just a few miles from the City of Holland and is strategically located within a short drive of Saugatuck, Fennville, and Grand Haven. It has wonderful amenities with the property, extremely clean, and well maintained. The owners clearly care about their property and have add a few additional touches to enhance your stay. It has four large bedrooms with comfortable beds and a small bunk area if needed. The kitchen is spacious and includes a commercial grade stove. For us the ultimate test is whether we would return and the answer is a resounding -- yes.

Perfect vacation

Warm and beautiful home with every amenity you would ever need. The hosts were wonderful in every regard and go out of their way to ensure you have a great stay. The location is perfect - private wooded area in a quiet part of town, but is within walking distance of Sanctuary woods and just a few minutes from all the restaurants and the beach. One of the best things about the house was the master BR. When you're lying in bed, you 're positioned so that you can see the trees thru the skylights in the ceiling. So peaceful. We can't thank the owners enough for sharing their home with us. Will definitely be back.

Why they chose this property

This home is perfectly located. Blocks from Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa, you will find ample boat slips and boat rentals for any water activity. Dune access at Laketown Beach is just minutes down the street. A mere 14 minutes from both downtown Holland and downtown Saugatuck, you can quickly get to some of the most charming shops and restaurants in all of the midwest. A bike path at the end of the drive connects to Western Michigan's extensive network of bike trails, giving you access to a multitude of scenic parks and trails. This property is quite simply at the crossroad of Western Michigan fun!

What makes this property unique

When we first walked into this home, we were smitten by the cherry hardwood flooring and the vaulted ceiling. The windows and doors gave us a feeling we were outdoors with the deer and turkey and black squirrels. We loved the expansive deck which feels like an extension of the house with all of the comforts of a living room. 100 foot oak and maple and beach cover the wooded backyard with shade, which isn't so bad in the heat of the summer! The exterior lighting accents large trees and landscape features which will fill you with a sense of awe. It's just so darned beautiful!
