Nice place in a quiet neighborhood

Overall, the house is as advertised. The only real issue we had was the outside deck and the chairs and the cushions have not been cleaned, and were very dusty . Also, the yard is very spotty with grass missing in large chunks, which makes for a lot of dirt tracking back-and-forth into the shoes and the house. The place itself is very nice. Beds are very comfortable, kitchen is very functional communication with the owners was very good no issues with the neighborhood very quiet close to the small lake and within 15 minutes of grand Haven. Overall, we enjoyed our stay for the few days we were there.

Lovely vacation

My family and I wanted to get away before school started and we found this location last minute. It was a wonderful property that had everything that we needed. Such a quaint adorable location super close to the beach. My kids had a blast playing at the sandy beach, it was super close to Michigan Adventures, And we also had the opportunity to dine at some of the local restaurants. Overall the vacation was a success, the property was exactly what we needed, and I would recommend it to any other family looking for a quick getaway!

Great Location

The best thing is the location of the property and the ability to walk to Lake Beach and to some really great restaurants. However, the property needs some updating, some of the furniture should be replaced and the master bed needs to be replaced as well. It makes too much noise everytime you move on the bed. Excellent bike trail right by the house but no bike rentals near by. It would be a great amenity to have a couple for guest, even if you charged a small fee for use during the stay.

Just alright

Photos make the place seem much nicer. The place needs some major updating and one of the bedroom doors fell off the first night. The owner couldn’t have it fixed during our stay so our friends slept with no door. Many changes to the amenities with the new owners and despite the inconveniences, they could not accommodate our one request to extend check out by one hour. Beds were uncomfortable and the kitchen ceiling was comically low. Also the house didn’t seem like it had been thoroughly Covid-cleaned before our stay.

SpingLake home

The owner of the property closed the day we arrived. There were some complications due completely to the transition however the new owner was quick to reply and helped with everything very quickly. The home worked well as a home base for us to explore the SpringLake and Grand Haven area, lots of shops, restaurants, and a little beach maybe 5 min walk away that was perfect.

Relaxing getaway

Firewood, bicycles and beach towels were listed as provided somewhere, but we didn’t see any. The place still fit our needs well. Not a fan of the plastic mattress covers. Made sleeping noisy and hot. Couldn’t figure out how to adjust the volume on the tv. Deck area was nice.

Nice weekend stay for our family

It was great place for our weekend stay with our adult children to attend a family reunion nearby. It is on a quiet street and close to a nice walking path and the public beach. It was clean and well stocked with towels and dishes. A nice weekend place to stay to enjoy the area.

This cottage was exactly what my family was looking for in order to have a great short weekend with extended aunts and cousins. It's surprisingly large inside and has 4 spacious bedrooms; the outside deck and fire pit ensured that we had all the room we wanted for time to laugh and relax. Plus, the public access beach is only 3 blocks away and is perfect for time in the water without crowds. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice family time in Spring Lake

The cottage was just as the pictures were in the posting. The cottage was clean and the location was very convenient (very close to the bike trail and to Spring Lake). We brought kayaks along and put them into Spring Lake (there are two locations close to the cottage for public access). We used the bike paths many times throughout our stay. The neighborhood was very quiet also. We also enjoyed the complimentary muffins that were left for us when we arrived, it was a nice surprise. We also used the deck many times for outdoor dining, which was enjoyable for our family. Our only suggestion for area of improvement would be to have the beds provided with a full set of sheets (not just the fitted sheet over the mattress). We had a great time at the house and visiting the area.

Great Quite Location

We really enjoyed the fact that the property was 2 blocks from the lake's beach yet located at the end of a side lane. It was quiet, quaint, and had a great patio and fire pit. Great for 6 or less people. 8 is possible and will work with good weather.

About the host

Hosted by Courtney

Hi, I’m Courtney, a pediatric doctor. My husband Matt and I have been watching this area like a hawk for quite some time, just waiting for the perfect place to come available.

Matt’s family is connected to this area through multiple generations. His grandmother used to teach swimming lessons right here at Lakeside Beach.

Anyway, the perfect cabin finally popped up and we grabbed it. We then spent months choosing just the right furnishings to help it feel like a home away from home for our guests. We chose a round coffee table so there are no hard edges for kids to scrape. We chose a leather couch because it can roll with the punches.

Bottom line, we are super excited to finally unveil our passion project to you and we will do everything in our power to make sure you have the vacation of a lifetime.
