About this property

Modern Guest Suites in Beautiful Wooded Setting, Steps to Lake MI Sleeps 6

Pine Nut/Pine Cone Guest Suites overlook a beautiful wooded setting, with visibility to Lake Michigan. Direct beach access to spectacularly wide, pristine stretch of private Lake Michigan beach frontage. Enjoy Lake MI shoreline walks, sunbathing, volleyball and evenings spent watching sunsets around any of 5 Association bonfire pits perched on the scenic dunes (tables, ample wood and roasting tools provided). Ideal for small family getaways, enjoy nearby private tennis/pickle/bball, 2 children's play areas, fishing, biking, hiking, windsurf and kayak opportunities, U-Pick blueberries, Holland’s bountiful farmers' market, and the nearby restaurants and shops in quaint downtowns of Holland, Saugatuck and Grand Haven.

Our Guest Suites offer a slightly unconventional, but new and comfortable, separate living quarters on 2 levels with combined living/sleeping spaces with 2BR/2BA, 1 fully-equipped Kitchen and a kitchenette, with all modern amenities and a balcony for morning coffees or a quiet outdoor workspace overlooking peaceful wooded setting.

PLEASE NOTE: A single flight of stairs required to access either guest suites (one flight down or one flight up). 2 street level parking spaces provided; additional overflow parking available off-site via stairs. Not handicap accessible. Access to the Lake Michigan beach front also requires stairs and walking, approximately 5 minutes.

Both levels with A/C and 300 mbs WiFi throughout, large screen Roku Smart TVs. Linens/towels, beach chairs/umbrellas and numerous books, games, puzzles and toys - just bring your bathing suits! Bring your own bikes or rent nearby for fantastic bike trails past blueberry farms north to Grand Haven and south to Holland. Bring or rent kayaks for lazy days of paddling on the Pigeon River/Pigeon Lake.

6-7 night minimum stays for prime Summer months, with lower Spring and Fall rates and shorter minimum stays.

ABSOLUTELY NO large, loud gatherings, weddings. NO pets or smokers, please. We are part of a charming, tightly knit and very closely-situated community of small cottages (where noise travels easily) with nearby neighbors who enjoy this quiet beach-front setting. We wish to preserve their goodwill. We are looking for guests who will be respectful of these parameters. Thank you for your understanding.

Part of a historic private cottage association (since 1906) surrounded by a combination of unique turn-of-the-century classic cottages and new homes, rolling dunes and wooded trails, with access to Pigeon Lake, docks, newly resurfaced tennis courts, beach volleyball, superb hiking and bike trails, children's play areas, beachfront fire pits (stacks of wood provided) and picnic tables. 15 minutes' drive to loads of excellent dining options, breweries (New Holland, Big Lake, Odd Sides, etc.), antiques and art galleries, Holland Farmer's Market, blueberry picking and quaint shopping in nearby Holland, Grand Haven, Saugatuck and Douglas. 45 minutes to Grand Rapids dining, breweries (Founders, The Mitten, Brewery Vivant) and exceptional cultural offerings (Meijer Gardens, Grand Rapids Museum, Ford and Grand Rapids Children's Museum, etc.).

Enjoyable lakeshore getaway

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A short walk to the beach - just what we needed. Host was very accommodating. A great experience!

Great location, great property, awkward interaction with hosts

I can say nothing but great things about the property; The location is quaint in a beach association with a long stretch of private beach and the home itself was nice, clean, and spacious. Unfortunately my party had a few interactions with the hosts that made our stay a tad uncomfortable. Twice the hosts interrupted us at the property. The first time was just to stop by and make sure we had no issues, however the second time they interrupted our vacation to ask us to move one of our vehicles from the designated parking spot so that they could park their own in the garage. It wasn't a huge deal, but the whole interaction left my party feeling like our privacy was invaded and it broke our immersion of having the house to ourselves.

Great place to stay on Lake Michigan.

Our family had a great time staying here. There are two separate areas which was nice for the grandparents to have their own living space and area. Private beach was great. Bonfire on the beach the kids loved. Would definitely book here again.

would stay again

Everything was as pictured and as described, either in the posting, or in separate communications with Kim. Kim was amazing as a host...I tried not to bother her beforehand, but when I did, she responded promptly; she also reached out to me as she thought of things that might improve our stay. It is very clear ahead of time that there are a lot of stairs. but to confirm, there are almost 40 between the two house levels, so depending who is staying, guests might need to pre-plan their moves! We were grandparents with two early elementary kids, and Gpa had "the penthouse". We worked it out, but for some, it could be too many stairs every day. FYI, neither (apartment) is at ground level. Also along the line of stairs, there are 65 to get to/from the private beach boardwalk Additionally, boardwalk and single boards trail is about a 3 minute walk to beach. I am NOT a very physically active person, but I had no trouble at all--just pointing out for others. Kim made very clear what the accessibility issues would be; she does point out that one can drive part way. I would recommend driving to the little park that is below the house, and taking the public boardwalk (perhaps those were her instructions, but I didn't pay attention as I didn't need them). EVERYTHING we needed was provided!!!! I was impressed. The neighborhood was quiet (were we lucky??). The beach is amazing! Not that Kim has anything to do with it, but this is one of the few wide beaches left along the Lake Michigan shores. My only regret is that we could not see the lake from the house except for a sliver when sitting on the balcony, but we spent so many hours at the beach in the morning and in the evening/sunset, that it didn't matter . Definitely would return!

Great for able-bodied guests

This property looked as good as the photos—modern and clean. The house had the amenities we needed for our family. It was tricky to discern the layout of the house from the photos and we now understand why—the house is split into three floors with the garage being on the main in the middle and living spaces above and below. This is perfect for two families traveling together but not so great for those who are not as able-bodied of which we had two in our party. Just wanted to note for those who don’t do stairs well. Beach access was also a bit tricky for those not as able-bodied. Not as direct as we had planned for. We had also thought we were provided at least two parking spots with the garage pad but one was already claimed. While we had parking it was not what we thought it would be. I would not recommend more than two cars for your party. Overall, this place was nice and provided us with what we needed. There were just a few things we wanted to note for future guests.
