Perfect Location to Enjoy Holland's Charms

Couldn't have picked a better house for cooking and enjoying dinner on the screened porch, walking to ice cream each night, and kayaking on Lake Macatawa. We lucked out and had breezy evenings that cooled the bedrooms down perfectly at night. Would definitely stay again!

It’s a cute cottage. We didn’t spend much time there as we were at family functions during our trip. The cottage has everything we needed while we were there. We will definitely stay here again if we need to while in the area. Easy walk to the beach!

Wonderful week in Holland

Holland is our favorite place to visit in the summer. We had a lovely week in the cottage. Wonderful location, adorable clean cottage, comfortable beds and enjoyed eating outside on the deck in the back. Craig was very responsive as a host. There were some unseasonably hot days but we made it work.

Great Stay! Amazing Location!

Craig has an awesome location off a relaxing and quiet road right in the heart of the Ottawa Beach area. House is perfect for a family vacation with crazy close walking distance to the general store for morning coffee or nightly ice cream as well as walk or bike distance to the beach! Craig couldn’t be more accommodating and easy to work with. Screened in front porch was the best every morning and evening. Despite some very nosy curmudgeon neighbors who sadly are just old, crotchety and angry about sharing their beautiful neighborhood to non-residents, this was an awesome stay for us. We hope Craig and the other short term rental setup homes in this area succeed in being able to rent to good families for years to come. More people and their families need to experience this quiet and relaxing town :) We will be back.

The cottage in Holland is in a great location! It's half a mile from the Lake Michigan beach, and across the street from Lake Macatawa. I had beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and it was a lovely time. The landlord/host (Craig) is incredibly nice, helpful, and was quick to respond when I reached out. Things to consider: It's an old house, so be prepared for that (creaky floors, spiders, etc.). The cleaning crew could be better, as there were cobwebs, dusty vents, etc. If there are multiple people, you want to bring some extra towels. Overall, it's a fun historic home in a great location that allows dogs. It's a perfect place to enjoy the lake life in the summer in Michigan.

Loved staying at this quaint cottage. The location in the historic district, access to the private beach and the ability to bring our dog makes it extra special. We enjoyed sitting out back on the deck and using the screened in porch. We stayed here 4 years ago and the new AC makes such a big difference. We will be back!

Wonderful stay in Holland

My family and I had a lovely stay! We’ve gone to Holland nearly every summer for the past 30 years and stayed at many cottages near/on the boardwalk. This was definitely one the nicer cottages we’ve stayed in. It worked perfectly for our family and was truly in the ideal location.

Holland Cottage

Very comfortable cottage including the beds which sometimes aren't quite so. These were lovely as was the living room furniture. Located in a charming cottage community just a short walk from the entrance to the state park beach. About 15 minutes to downtown Holland and other attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. And so did our pup!

Beach Cottage Bliss

Craig’s beach cottage could not have been in a more perfect location for enjoying the lake life. Having three kids 5 and under made the ability to walk everywhere a huge plus for us, after a slow morning enjoying the kitchen's cute breakfast nook we could stroll down to the beach, then back for lunch and rest time, then a one minute stroll to the famous General Store for fantastic ice cream, and back to the beach again for the most beautiful sunset. Plenty comfortable accommodation, and amenities. We were very sad to leave and would return in a heartbeat.

This was our first visit to holland. The cottage was in a great location to easily walk to the beach and to several places to eat and have ice cream. We would definitely stay here again. It is not a party house it is a quiet neighborhood so do not expect otherwise.
