Great cottage with beach access!

The cottage and location are wonderful. Matthew was very accommodating and very quick to respond with any questions. He is also flexible with check-in and check-out time, which was extremely helpful. The place was very clean and had all of the necessities for a few night stay.

We have been renting in the Macatawa area for 15 years. This by far met our expectations. Clean, modern and well equipped. Nice view of Lake Michigan from the patio. Super comfy beds and nice modern kitchen. Looking forward to returning next summer.

Great Location and a Wonderful House

Our stay here was excellent. Matt was a great host and answered any and all questions we had before and during our stay. I would highly recommend this house to any small groups of friends in Holland for a weekend. The short walk down to the beach was wonderful and the house itself was amazingly clean when we arrived. Next time I am in town and need a house this will be my first choice if it is available.

Host profile image
Born & raised in Holland, Michigan, I recently moved back "home" (I live in the cottage next door) after living in California, Seattle & Asia for the past 20+ years. You will see my wife & I during your stay as we are very active with sports, outdoor activities and of course the beach/lake.
