Lovely cottage in a great location!

Jerald’s cottage was just lovely for our small group in town for a wedding. He was such an accommodating host. The property was clean and in an amazing location walking distance to downtown, which had much to offer! The backyard was asortable and its amenities such as lounge chairs and a fire helped us relax in the evening.

GH Cottage

What a wonderful little cottage in the middle of Grand Haven. It might appear tiny, but it held 6 of us. The only downside is that there is only one tub/shower. But, if you plan, you will not have any problems. They have a small half bath off of one of the bedrooms downstairs. As an architect, I love that they didn't destroy the interior of the house at the Living Room, Dining Room, Entry and Bedroom. I loved the plaster ceiling detail and how the walls curve into the ceiling. Thanks for letting the beautiful history of the building shine through. I also loved the tiny little "hobbit" diamond window. The backyard was very lovely. The cottage is located only 2 blocks from Washington Street which is one of the main streets in town. I grew up in GH, so I loved the fact I could get anywhere by walking. I didn't meet the owner, but he responded quickly and answered the few questions I had. Coming back to town next year and will see if I can get this house for Coast Guard Week!

Great cottage in downtown Grand Haven!

We loved our stay here! Charming little house just a short walk from the main street in downtown Grand Haven and to the channel. Very clean, smelled great when we walked in. Beds were comfy and clean, bathrooms were clean and well-stocked. Beautiful backyard with shade was perfect after a long day in the sun at the beach. Would recommend this cottage!

Grand Haven

The house was smaller than could be appreciated in the pictures and the floor plan was a bit odd. Basement bedrooms are cold but there is an electric fireplace. All in all well worth it given the location near the waterfront. The backyard was quite interesting but unfortunately we didn't have time to use it to its fullest.

What a fun find for our weekend in Grand Haven! We enjoyed walking for ice cream and enjoying downtown both nights. The cottage is quaint and very nicely restored with modern necessities. Lots of blankets and linens. The backyard swings and seating area was a great place to relax. Thank

Wonderful Time

Cottage Charm is a delightful place to stay. Each of the rooms was well decorated with updated finishings. Everything was clean. Kitchen was well-stocked. WiFi was great and easy to connect to. Backyard and grill were used a lot. Just blocks from everything. Neighbors were very friendly too. Definitely would stay again. Only suggestion might be a dehumidifier for basement. Not a significant issue by any means but would improve lower rooms for allergy suffers.

A Grand Haven

Nice classic old-style home with updated features. Great location for a short walk to harbor or stroll downtown. Was perfect for our family with two teenage sons. I would definitely stay here in the future whenever we are back visiting Grand Haven. Just a quick update- photos show a coffee pot however they have added a Keurig Machine- just in case you want to bring along your favorite K-Cups.

Perfect for us

This property was perfect for us (a retired couple). More room than we needed (there are 3 bedrooms, sleeps 8 max). Quaint architecture, very cute cottage. Everything worked. Jerad was very accommodating and easy to work with. We have been vacationing in Grand Haven for over 30 years, and this property is one of the best we've stayed in - better than most of the fancier condos we've rented in the past. Centrally located, quiet - everything we could have asked for. We have told friends about this place, and we will visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Jerad Syswerda

Host profile image
Having been part of Grand Haven's Wonderful Summers for years and years, (just can't seem to get enough of it.) and Long before we purchased our cottage ,we would walk from the Marina to downtown shopping and restaurants and pass by "Cottage Charm" on the way secretly wishing to stay in such a Charming Cottage (hence the name) We haven't been able to retire quite yet in this beautiful town of Grand Haven but until then , you can rent Cottage Charm and see for yourself how special it is.

Why they chose this property

When this property became available it was a dream come true. It is literally close to most everything for the Summer Vacationer, and just far away enough to escape the Noise of the Traffic and the Sand in your britches. You can hear musical fountain from the property most nights and even people watch on the front porch as they stroll past coming to and fro the downtown events.

What makes this property unique

We are only two blocks away from most things. The trollies at chinook pier run several times a day and can take you to the State Park or to the Beach. Or how about less than a three minute walk to Central Park where they have Live music on Tuesday nights or an occasional wedding on the weekend ,or four minutes to the Library , or Lucy's Deli . Or walk across the street and get your hair done. We are close folks, and we supply most things ,paper products,linens, towels, ( but not beach towels) even baggies. Come join us, you'll be delighted. We'll leave the light on for you. Thank you for your inquiry, Jan and Jerad
