Awesome place for multiple families

This place is really be perfect for two large families or three small families. We loved that it was peacefully tucked away in the woods and still walkable to the beach. Such a relaxing place to get away to and plenty of space for the kids to roam!

Awesome Place!

I booked this place for my wedding weekend for some out of town guests. The property was awesome! Great outdoor space with a fire pit, cool vintage feel, and great location if you plan to rent a boat across the street!

Michigan invites Texas to Beat the Heat

We were in town for a family gathering with family from Detroit area and Houston Texas. House hit all the boxes. Great screened in porch to contain kids and enjoy nightly card games, great gathering areas with living room and family/combined kitchen area. Grill for summer cooking just off the kitchen. Washer and Dryer for those who needed it and large garage and front entrance with ping pong and plenty of parking. We brought lots of yard games and this yard did not disappoint - played whiffle ball, corn hole and kan jam that we brought- Horse shoes, basketball and ping pong that were provided. Great outdoor fire pit area with plenty of wood - we brought our outdoor theater and had great movie nights with smores and the big screen. Plenty of bathrooms for a large group and 6 separate rooms for sleeping. Cooking supplies provided in stocked kitchen. Walking paths and bike paths too. You can get to lake Michigan through a path that is outlined for you - and Lake Macatawa - Eldean marina is just across the street where you can rent a boat slip if needed. Short drive to downtown Holland as well. Great location if you have a family or friend gathering - we would come back !

Fantastic Home Near Holland!

We thoroughly enjoyed this wooded, creek side home in Macatawa! It was a perfect place to relax and enjoy a peaceful getaway. Upon arrival, we unwound by the creek and surrounding nature with a 1 mile trail loop walk. Then we ate dinner at New Holland Brewing Company and enjoyed a bonfire. Friday was spend at Watertrail Ventures for some canoeing and kayaking. It was great taking a break from the daily routine and take in the serene environment. We walked to the private beach which is .8 miles from the house. If you enter 2432 Valley Dr into your GPS, it will safely navigate you to the beach without getting harrassed. The locals we interacted with were actually very friendly! We also spent a day at Laketown Beach which is very nice, but no where near the size of the private beach this property offers. It's for sure worth the walk! There is a gravel parking lot you can drive to as well which would cut your walk time by at least half. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I would highly recommend and consider staying here again!

32nd street house

We were in Holland for a graduation, and family and friends joined for the celebration. The house worked out very well for us because of its spacious size, plenty of parking, and lots of beds. The house was stocked with everything we needed and more. The trees and creek provided a very nice outdoor atmosphere. Everyone in our party enjoyed their stay.

Michigan reunion

We were needing a place to stay close to Saugatuck(hometown) so that my family could come and join us from the other side of the state and Ohio. We had five grandchildren who were aged from young teens to eight years old. The house was perfect in that everyone had their own space but the communal spaces were many and big enough. The teens loved the shuffle board, basketball, ping pong and all the board games. The adults loved the privacy (and the nearness of the lake and Wiersma’s which we all remembered from when we were kids)! Thank you, Wade, for having such a great place to meet up!

Beautiful Property

We loved staying at this home. Spacious, plenty of activities, and management was excellent and incredibly responsive. We did have several issues with local residents while attending the private section of Lake Michigan beach associated with the property, and chose to attend other local beaches for the remainder of our stay.

Walk to beach wasn't bad from the house, it was do-a-ble. Parking space provided did cut off about 10 minutes. Beach was crowded on Sat and Sun, but totally cleared out for the week. We happen to be a family of TV watchers and WIFI signal was pretty frustrating in the main room. Overall, lots of room for all of us and plenty of room to break off into small groups. Had a great night for somores in the fire pit.

This Could Become a New Family Tradition!

I planned this stay as a celebration of my retirement with family and friends primarily from the Midwest. It looked great online per the description and pictures, however, everyone who visited was very impressed with the location and accommodations that they were asking when we could do this again! It was very rainy the first weekend but there was SO much to do inside, we found plenty to entertain ourselves inside the house/garage (shuffleboard, ping pong, board games, plenty of room to spread out). The location feels very secluded although it is only a short walk to the marina (to rent boats) and Macatawa Park. Private access to Macatawa Park was an unanticipated bonus (especially on the 4th of July when we received an invitation to watch fireworks on the beach)! Kim (property manager) was super receptive to our emails and questions throughout the rental - she even went out of her way to find and later deliver new horseshoes that were missing from the horseshoe pit! This could likely become a new family tradition!

Rainy stay, wonderful house

Our family of 8 adults, 5 children stayed here 3 nights. The house was perfect. Location, cleanliness, open space. We all loved it. The only downside was that it rained most of our stay so we were unable to do some of the things we wanted to in the area. Would definitely recommend for a large family getaway!
