Relaxation in Grand Haven, MI

This was a beautiful home, located among trees, close to the beach. The space was clean and comfortable, there was a nice breeze from the lake, and we saw deer and squirrels in the tree area. The owner couldn't have been nicer or easier to deal with.

Great spot for a lake trip

Overall, great spot for a lake trip! Pros - Honore was very responsive with communicating on specifics with the property and area, and met us upon arrival to walk through the house and gave some recommendations. Home was well appointed, and beautifully decorated. Had tons of extras provided (grill, fire pit, cooking utensils, beach items). Pretty quiet / private area and street for being so close to the beach and a short drive / bike / walk to “town”. Beautiful views, especially from master bedroom balcony. Overall, too many to list! Improvements - To be fair, she recently moved back in the home full time, which changed the home layout some, which wasn’t a huge deal but would have been nice to have known sooner. Also, her home has a lot of artwork in it, which was beautiful, but was somewhat nerve racking with 2 small children. Home seemed to be on a bigger hill than expected, so we had to drive my mom down to the parking lot daily, but I probably just didn’t read the reviews / property info enough. Overall, would still highly recommend, just want to be fair with the pros and cons!

Wedding Weekend

This house was perfect for us during our daughters wedding weekend. Since we were from out of town the house let us feel like we were at home instead of a hotel. Very close to beaches and downtown Grand Haven.

Relaxing Getaway!

This was our second time staying at Virginia Cottage and we loved every minute. The cottage is clean and spacious with many amenities. We loved being able to walk right to the beach, bike into town, and stroll around the neighborhood. The neighbors are friendly and Honore is great to rent from. We will definitely return with our family again!

About the host

Hosted by Honore Lee

I am fortunate to claim Grand Haven as my hometown. This is a beautiful lake-shore community where family and friends reside and gather year-round. I have enjoyed sharing my dune-side retreat with visitors from near and far since 2009, when the house was rebuilt and fully furnished. After a 2 year hiatus from the rental business, I am now back at it and looking forward to guests!

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family for over 100 years. The original home was a small, single-story cottage with a wide front porch on a sandy dune. While the dune is still sandy, the home not be maintained as it was, and so we tore it down and re-built on the same site. It now is oriented toward the lake, with a full second floor and an open plan on the main level. I love it here, and to share the lake breezes and comfortable setting with travelers.

What makes this property unique

Grand Haven can be a bustling town in the summer, and we feel that our dune-side location offers privacy and relaxation while still within walking distance of the action. In addition, the beach is expansive and inviting, just a downhill walk away! A favorite sunset viewing spot is at the top of the public staircase, "Weber's Stairs"-- grab a drink and join in for a toast to the day!
