The Perfect Setting
We needed a quick, one-night stay with family and this was the perfect house. Super easy check-in, comfortable beds and clean. We loved the retro touches and the multiple places for guests to sit and enjoy the view. We also appreciated not having a huge cleaning fee and were happy to do a quick cleanup. Thanks for making this easy!

Great family weekend
We stayed for just the weekend to attend a wedding for our family. There were six of us and we had a fantastic time. The views were beautiful and the cottage was clean and fully stocked with what we needed. Harriet was an amazing host and we hope to come back again!

Beautiful location on Lake Macatawa
Older house in a perfect location. Loved sitting by the lake. Loved watching the sun rise and the moon shine on the water. Just down the street is Ottawa Beach on Lake Michigan and Holland's famous red lighthouse. Our stay was very pleasant.

Overall a wonderful family stay being right on lake macatawa and close to great restaurants in Holland. Love the beaches there. But watch out when getting out of the shower. I tripped, fell on my head, and ended up in two hospitals for parts of two days. Other than that it was avery enjoyable state

It is a perfect location on Lake Macatawa and walking distance to Holland State Park. The house is a perfect beach house. We enjoyed the fire pit at night, canoeing during the day, and beautiful sunsets at Lake Michigan. I'm looking forward to another visit!

Love the View and Location
Our family stayed for several nights (adult children). The home overall was very clean but has older appliances & furniture. The appliances worked but we did not try the dishwasher. The living room furniture rockers are very uncomfortable due to the age of them & the decorative pillows need replaced. We had a great time & enjoyed sitting outside and around the firepit. We enjoyed riding bikes (we brought 2) but had to take turns as the other adult bicycles located in the garage had flat tires & the beach style bicycle brakes did not work. There was one adult bike we could use but it was difficult to ride for anyone on the shorter side. I'm not sure if the children's bikes were functioning properly. We enjoyed using the canoe as well. The window air conditioners kept the home fairly cool, and fans are provided throughout the home which was nice. The air conditioner in the bedroom was very noisy when the compressor ran. The noise was bothersome when it was time to sleep. We used the gas grill and everything worked great. We loved the extra parking spaces as well. It was great to have the washer and dryer to use during our longer stay. I would recommend newer towels and additional wash cloths be provided. Also, we noticed that if someone was using the shower and warm water was turned on at another sink in the house, the shower water would briefly turn cold. Please note that there is only one shower available. The main bathroom is only a tub. Overall, we had a really nice stay!

Great location
The cottage was in a great location for our trips to Holland State Park. I was most disappointed in the air conditioning. There were 2 window units that kept the cottage fairly well cooled, but we had to leave the a lot of doors open for that to be possible. Also, for us, there were too many knick knacks that had to be moved because of the young children. We enjoyed the view of lake Macatawa. The multitude of geese (and their droppings) was unfortunate, but not sure how the homeowner can prevent them from being on the lawn. Overall, we made the sleeping arrangements work, enjoyed the view of lake Macatawa and were so glad the place was so close to the park!

This charming home was fabulous
The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is I agree with another reviewer… some of the windows do not lock and the windows in the lake side have no covering. No shades, curtains or anything… This home is an older home but it has such charm and character… It was spotlessly clean… very impressed. We even found a deck of cards that my teen enjoyed… The photos of the view on the listing do not do justice. It’s such a beautiful view. Close to everybody g. I just can’t say enough about this property. We would absolutely boom again. Thank you so much

The house was well appointed. Clean and more spacious than I expected. Really liked the areas across the back with windows facing the lake. many comfortable chairs and a large couch. Instead of futons there are pull out couch/beds. One in the breezeway between the garage and the house. The other is in the dinning area. It happened we did not use either. Only down side, the bed my husband and I slept in was too soft for us. Might be perfect for others. We used the dishwasher twice. Second time it put a puddle on the floor. 7 of us plus an infant stayed full time at the house. Another 8 had hotel accommodations. The house was home base with all of us gathering for meals. There was plenty of comfortable easy space for the family to mix and mingle. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

ehhh
A few things I wasn’t happy about.. the fire pit that was said to be there was nowhere to be found. Glad I didn’t buy wood ahead of time. Many windows were open/unlocked and the front door was left unlocked. Anyone could’ve broken in and hidden in the house to wait for people. We are 2 women in our 20’s so that’s very concerning to us. The shower head was covered in soap scum and didn’t feel like the water was clean bc of that. We wanted to do laundry but couldn’t bc there were wet towels in the washer. No idea how long they’ve been there. No fence or window coverings so it’s very exposed. The location by the water was nice and staying for 1 single night was fine but I don’t think I could’ve stayed longer and been comfortable.
