Historic cottage by Holland State Park and Lake Michigan

This vintage beach cottage is located in the sand dune hills of Historic Ottawa Beach resort area. Bike paths, sidewalks and board walks surround this cottage giving you access to Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa. Walk down the hill and go to the General Store, climb Mt. Pisgah, or walk along the channel into the state park and watch the boats go by. Go the other direction and walk along the upper or lower board walk until you get to the sandy beach of Lake Michigan. Enjoy the sun and surf and don't forget to stay for at least one of our magnificent sunsets.

Please note that there are 2 parking spaces designated for this cottage. The walk from the parking area to the cottage is about 100 ft. I have 2 extra parking passes if needed for another parking area a little farther away.

Lovely cottage near Lake Michigan. We stayed just a couple days, but we had everything we needed. The beach was a short walk and the sunset was gorgeous.

Some things great...some things not so much

The house was cute and the historic details were fun. The location is absolutely amazing, with a short walk to the beach, ice cream, bike paths, and hiking trails. However, saying that the property is air conditioned is a bit of a stretch. The property has window units, not central air. The main first floor unit is undersized for the square feet needing cooling. Upstairs, the main bedroom had a AC in good working order. One bedroom didn't have AC at all, and the third bedroom had an AC, but it did not really keep the room cold at all, even though the unit said it was set at 64. This was really hard on my 73 year old mother in law, and hard on the complainers in our group :). The dishwasher did not work, something to do with the water not flowing through the tube to the machine (we tried a few ways to fix this with no avail).

Great Stay

Great cute place to stay. Historic home. You park in a lot near the home and walk to the house. No street or garage for parking, but the parking is free and included with the rental. Short walk to the beach and other shops on the main street.

really neat place!

the pictures really tell the story - the outdoor areas, the veranda, the rooms, the decor -- just a really neat fun getaway, right where Lake Mac and Lake Mich meet - what more could anyone ask for! The only negative is being sad to leave and wishing you could stay a little longer!

Sister Reunion

This was a perfect place for my 3 Sisters and myself having a weekend Reunion. It was within walking distance of the Holland Lighthouse and that made it great for one of us who loves Lighthouses. The area had some great restaurants that we enjoyed and the Farmers Market was great fun on Saturday too. Harriet the owner was very easy to reach and get assistance as we needed.

Wonderful little place with charm

I loved this stay and would totally recommend it. The walk to the lake is fabulous. My only hesitation in recommending it was, as described in the great communication from the host, was the parking and wayfinding was pretty tricky since we got in late at night. Providing a precise GPS location would have definitely coming in handy.

Location was excellent and was peaceful and quiet. It was a short walk, or drive, to the beach. Everything we needed was there except it would be good to provide shower soap in both bathrooms and not just shampoo.
