REVIEWS
"It was such a treat to be right on Lake Michigan and to be able to see it from the house. We liked the vintage feel of the house, like stepping back in time. The views from the enclosed porch, the deck, and the upstairs window were spectacular. We could hear the waves at night, lulling us to sleep.. Our children enjoyed swimming and playing on the beautiful private beach. It was a fabulous experience all around!"
Jackie M.

"We had a lovely stay at this vintage cottage on Lake Michigan. There were plenty of beds/bedrooms for our family and the beach was beautiful. The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived. This is second house we have rented with BVW Unsalted and we've had a great experience both times."

Amazing location!

We had a wonderful time during our stay here. The view is amazing and we were fortunate to have weather making daily beach time possible. We spent most of our time down at the beach or playing games/eating meals in the screened in porch to enjoy the view.

Beautiful location and welcoming hosts who responded quickly to small problems even on a holiday.

Wonderful location, it really was steps to a great beach. There was no air conditioning, but they brought fans and most of the time we had a breeze from the lake. Really terrific spot!

Wonderful location for family getaway

5 adults and 4 children, we enjoyed the proximity to the beach, beach chairs and a parasol were provided, ate outside every evening overlooking the lake, used the bbq provided. Property was clean with plenty of beach/towels and bedding, a couple of games and puzzles, plenty of books for when we took a break from the beach. Steps up to the front of the house for entry, and a staircase down the dune to get to the beach, managed well by our 3.5 year old. Lovely location for a great price.

Location was beyond anything we had imagined- amazing beachfront access. Description of property is accurate- quaint cottage. Be prepared to appreciate the older amenities- also, no dishwasher and one full bath for our 8 guests was a bit of a shuffle, but all of this information was clearly disclosed before booking. Being August, we knew it was a gamble to have no air conditioning. One night was very HOT, but the other evenings had the beautiful lake breeze we were hoping for. Fans were provided in each room, which we appreciated. Affordable property in a breathtaking location with quick access to all Holland has to offer!

Attention to little things would make it better.

Nice to hear the water break along the shoreline in the mornings. Beautiful sunsets! The bed frames need updated - too noisy every time you move. The hand railings are worn/chip away and need maintenance. Also, the stairs to the beach need cleared of the growing grass. The water pressure at the upstairs sink needs to be reduced.

Glorious Lake View

We had a wonderful Father’s Day gathering for my family of all adult children. Being where there was a view of the lake from the house when it was chilly and a nice deck/overlook area to sit when it was warm was good for my Lake Therapy.” We are a close knit family so it works for us, but the sleeping quarters are not very private. Quaint and basic - old fashioned kitchen with updated appliances. Some of the pans needed attention before use. It was a bit of a challenge to find. There was a sign by the driveway but still very difficult to see the number to see which house was correct.

Misrepresented

The property at night is almost impossible to find. The driveway was not even possible to get close to the house because of garage damage. The stairs were so steep our older friends had to check into a hotel. The overall condition of the bathrooms was unbailable ( pipes glued and just sticking thru the walls) for a fee of over $ 400 a night the facility should be user friendly. We own the largest parking lots and event centers in the US Gate Ten Events. The presentation of this unit leaves much to be desired.

Had a great family gathering

Overall a good experience. Just a few comments: My son-in-law has allergies so the lack of a good ventilation fan in the bathroom, the caulk in the shower showing evidence of mold and the shower curtain hanging so low that it touched the floor and not able to dry out was not a good combination for him and he had a day of not feeling well because of those issues. Also you may want to replace at least one of the boards on the walkway as it passes the upper patio deck area. The board in questions is very spongy and possibly could let loose and allow someone to be injured.

great views, cozy, not fancy. Needs a few small improvements

Overall, cozy and fine for my small group (3 adults). Although house sleeps 12, I would not recommend more than 8 people, as only 1 shower and only 8 chairs for dinner tables (1 in kitchen, one in front room). Kitchen was in need of some inexpensive but essential items: there were only 4 forks, but plenty of spoons, plates, cups, and cooking pots, mixing bowls. Needs: cheese grater; can opener (existing one not functional); FORKS!!; an 8x8" and/or 9x13" baking pan to make lasagne, cornbread, casserole, etc; more plastic storage containers for leftovers There was plenty of cookware for stovetop, but not much appropriate for use in the oven.

Location is majestic..BUT...

This property location and view is stellar. However, the management of the property seems to be lacking. I was not happy with the lack of CLEANLINESS and some very simple items that were either broken completely(e.g. outdoor grill, cabinets) or in dire need of attention. A handyman could quickly and inexpensively fix some of the things that need attention but after emailing the property managers I received no response. I'd stay in the area again for sure but this property really needs some TLC!!

A great stay on a beautiful property!

I rented this property with a few other friends and we had a great stay! We were nowhere near capacity of the property which allowed us all to socially distance as much as possible. The beach is just a few steps down and the view from the top of the bluff by the house is gorgeous! The house is nice enough with a cottage feel but also plenty comfy and in a great location close to Holland and other attractions. I would definitely rent this property again. Thank you for a fun stay!

All about Lake Michigan

This is exactly what we were looking for on a Lake Michigan—sunset views, lake access and enough beds for our group. It was just as advertised and management was very responsive when we called about an appliance problem. The stairs to the lake serve a number of nearby houses so you can expect some people walking through the property. Easy to rent a boat or jet ski on Lake Macatawa and drive it back to the property for day use. Easy drive to Downtown Holland. Would definitely consider renting again.

1930s cottage with panoramic lake views

It was what I expected and what I was looking for __ in a beach getaway. An old-school, cottage style feel & smell (musty, but in a cottagy camping way) --goes away when you open windows. I loved the old beadboard walls, light fixtures, Knotty pine and openess. There were four of us and it was very comfortable. I think many more than 6 it would be crowded (at least for me). It has a user friendly kitchen, old windows with latches (very cool), cupboards that don't close right (perfect). Heated main bath (works like a charm) w/stand-in shower. Two bedrooms face Lake Michigan. The swimming and views are incredible! Stairs are probably 60 but easy to walk up & down. _ Really nice location. Quiet & private. Nice neighbors.

Beautiful View

The property was as advertised. It’s not big, not air-conditioned, and the water pressure and temperature can be funky. But we knew all that going in. The location is ideal, and the view is perfect. Our kids loved the beach. With plenty of shade and lots of fans, it didn’t get too hot inside. Check in and out were easy. The neighbors were friendly. We will have great memories from our vacation on Lake Michigan.
