Great location & perfect for family of 4

Walking distance to downtown & beach. Short drive to other beautiful beach towns. House was in great condition with everything we needed. Quick response from owner when we requested use of beach umbrella, bikes, etc. Quiet location, would sometimes hear upstairs neighbors walking around but that’s to be expected. Queen bed was a bit firm for my liking but that’s a personal preference. Would recommend -great value nice, clean rental with all the amenities & great location.

Every detail was perfect!

The property owner has done a magnificent job making this rental feel like home! We were only there a couple of days, but never had to waste any time figuring out where things were or how things worked. Everything was made accessible and easy for us! The rental was spotless, beds were so comfortable. We loved being so close to the great restaurants and shops downtown, and only a short drive to the beach. We look forward to staying again!

HAPPY 50 th BIRTHDAY

Beautiful property located blocks away from stores, restaurants and the water. It was so nice to be able to walk in the door and forget everything else. The top floor has a great view of downtown to watch all the happenings and I could walk to any place within a few minutes. The house itself has all the comforts of home and is well maintained.

Home away from home

On our first trip to Grand Haven, the entire tone of the vacation was set as soon as we stepped into Hang Your Hat. Nancy did a wonderful job making sure the house was spotless, and that we had everything we needed. The house was within walking distance from everything, including downtown shopping and restaurants, and the balcony on Top Hat made for great people watching. We can't say enough good things about Hang Your Hat and Nancy.

Couldn't have asked for more!

From first email contact to the moment we left Hang Your Hat, Nancy was impeccable. There was nothing more we could have asked for during our stay. The location is perfect, the amenities provided, price, just everything really. So much thought and consideration has gone into everything provided. I can't speak highly enough of Nancy and Hang Your Hat. The only regret I have is not being able to stay forever :) Thanks Nancy!

Annual trip to Grand Haven

This is the fourth year my Son’s and I have traveled to Grand Haven for a late Summer trip. We really enjoyed the “Hang your Hat” location. The couches in the living room were very comfortable for movie nights. The kitchen was spacious and perfect for making breakfast each morning. The actual location was the best. One block away from the Main Street which made it very easy to walk into town for dinner. The floors could have used an extra sweeping before our arrival and as with most older homes the walls do not block noise that well. Overall it was a great stay! Thank you

Just Like Home

This was our first stay at Hang Your Hat, We will plan on staying here each time we visit Grand Haven. Nancy welcomed us like she has known us and keeps this property very well maintained. Everything you need is all in the house. I even found candles for my daughters Birthday Cake. The place is so relaxing. We didn't want to leave. You can walk to the beach, shops, restaurants and even sit outside and hear the musical fountain if you choose not to walk a few blocks and watch the show. You will Love staying here!! Thank You Nancy for the wonderful welcome. Your Love for what you do really shows in the house. So very cozy. See you next year. The Bellingers

I wish I could award Hang your Hat 10 stars!!

I looked for a place that could go for a month to work and enjoy life at the same time. I found Hang Your Hat, and I was truly blessed! This is a cute, clean, comfortable spot in downtown Grand Haven, a short walk to any place you would dream of going - cute little shops, fantastic restaurants, great night spots, and most of all - LAKE MICHIGAN! What a beautiful walk from your porch to the Grand River channel and the boardwalk to the end of the pier in Lake Michigan. I put my feet into the fantastic white sand of Grand Haven Beach, and although April was a bit cold to swim, it was just as I had remembered. The owner is very helpful but respects your time and space while you are there. The plants and look of the place makes it stand out on the street full of nice quaint homes. This place is outstanding!

Perfect in every way

Our stay at Hang You Hat was the perfect home away from home. It was exceptionally clean, which is very important to us. It was dog friendly, which was great for our Boston Terrier. The kitchen was stocked with all the dishes, spices and all the small appliances & pans you would need to prepare and serve meals. We invited friends and family for cookouts. the gas grill was very clean with plenty of propane. The location is perfect - just far enough way from the riverfront noise but within a couple blocks of the boardway and downtown. Lots of restaurants in the area - once you are there, you don't have to drive. Walking distance to the beach as well - and the house has a wagon to haul your stuff. What a great deal!! And the owner, Nancy, goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. We plan to rent again in the Fall for a long weekend.

Hang Your Hat in Grand Haven! 5 Stars!

We had a lovely stay at Hang Your Hat in Grand Haven, even though it was short. We came for a wedding so we really didn't get to spend time with our friends, as they were the parents of the Groom. This location is excellent, you can walk to the main street of town from here & there are lots of restaurants & cute stores for shopping. I highly recommend Morning Star Cafe for breakfast. The Kirby House is also excellent, the Tuscan Mussels were outstanding. We loved the town, loved the property. It had everything we needed for our stay except a flashlight for when the power went out, lol! The power outage didn't last long so we were good with the flashlight app on our phones. The power outage was city wide & had nothing to do with where we staying. We loved everything about our visit & we intend to come back for a longer stay when we can see our friends and when they aren't in the midst of a wedding. Grand Haven is a lovely place and Hang Your Hat is comfortable, inviting and has everything you could need for a short or long visit. Our host Nancy is charming and we will be back to hang our hat in Grand Haven, at Hang Your Hat! Jenny & Dave

If you’re looking for a place to “hang your hat” while in Grand Haven, look no further. This home is located literally about a block from town! You can walk or bike to everything, which is a huge perk when staying in Grand Haven.

Great stay, not a bad word to say

We stayed for 3 nights, just me and my SO. The property is walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in Grand Haven which was wonderful, even closer than they looked on the maps we looked up. The house was clean and the AC kept it nice and cool. We had upstairs neighbors, and it is just a regular house, so we heard some footsteps and creaks, but nothing intrusive. The price was the best we'd seen of any other property close to it in size or location.
