Beautiful Place
This place was Gorgeous. Beautiful property with a nice deck and fire pit area. The upstairs was a bit warm and there wasn’t an air conditioner in a window to turn on unfortunately but the windows did open which helped a bit. There are 2 bathrooms but only one of them was usable as the other one was too small for us to even sit on the toilet with the door closed. (Maybe kid friendly?) Over all, this place was amazing. Fully stocked kitchen, with the exception of the fridge of course. It was a nice home away from home and it was very close to the art fair which had tons of amazing crafts and artists.

Fun in Holland
This home was very clean and updated with modern amenities. There is a nice deck and separate seating area around the firepit. We walked to a pleasant restaurant and rode bikes along the many bike paths. We had a very enjoyable time.

Perfect house for lake vacation. Comfortable and clean. We did see an unusual number of ants in the house so they may want to treat for that.

Graduation getaway
I was supposed to take my daughter on a trip to California as a present for graduation from nursing school. But Covid. So we settled on Holland. The location of this property is just excellent. We were a very short drive, or a 10 minute bike ride to either Ottawa Beach or Tunnel Park Beach. You are only ten minutes from downtown Holland, which is one of my favorite downtowns. Lots of shops and restaurants. The farmers market was EPIC! The property was perfectly represented by the photos in the listing. Clearly, it was very recently remodeled. If felt new throughout. There were LOTS of bed options for myself, my daughter and her two friends. All of the beds were very comfortable. The entire property was very clean! There were tons of towels (beach and shower). The kitchen was well stocked and the utensils were like new. We had a wonderful bonfire at the firepit. The only negative thing we had to say about the property was the trendy, cutesy marshmallow roasters were completely useless (haha) They were very cute and creative, but you had no ability to rotate your marshmallow over the flames. We loved our stay, and would absolutely come back. Great property!

Cute looking home
This house gave us the space we needed for our girls weekend. The decor was darling and enjoyed the patio and location. We loved the fire pit and being so close to the lake. Our one complaint is that the house was absolutely filthy. It had cobwebs and spiders everywhere. There were also many items left behind from previous renters scattered throughout the house (I.e., baby bottles, toys). This was particularly disappointing to us because the renters would not allow us an early check in because the house was being cleaned, however It is clear an actual clean was not completed. Overall, this house provided us with our basic needs for our trip.

We spent a long weekend up on the lake and this was the perfect place to stay! It’s in a quiet little neighborhood, just a few miles from downtown. It’s perfect for a group to all be together and have plenty of space. I’d definitely stay again!

Cute Red Cottage
The red cottage was very clean with plenty of beds for the 5 adults and 5 grandchildren. There are 2 bathrooms, but one is VERY SMALL. The only “issue” we had was with the air conditioning. It is extremely loud and the NEST unit would reset to 75 every night and the bedrooms would get very warm. Other than that, this is a lovely older home that has been completely remodeled and was a nice rental for our vacation!

4th of July Weekend - Great Location!!!
We stayed here for 4th of July weekend. It's about 1/2 a mile from the entrance to Holland State Park/Beach, which allowed us to get to the water early. The kitchen was immaculate and had all the accessories. All appliances are new. Well stocked! The living areas were comfortable and the beds were clean and very nice. The upstairs kids room was perfect for our 3 and 4 year olds. The outdoor fire pit was a hit and there was plenty of seating for family. We were able to get everything we needed at the General Store down the road, the store on the beach, and Walmart/Meijer are just a short drive away. Only downside: there aren't any beaches you can easily walk to. The next street over has some lake houses with private lake access (no sandy beaches), and many seemed threatened by high water levels. It's a nice neighborhood to walk around. Overall, excellent stay! We'd consider staying here every time we visit western Michigan.
