About this property

Charming waterfront cottage right on Lake Macatawa

Great lake views from an enclosed sun porch, with swimming and fishing right in front of the cottage at the end of a private sixty foot dock. 3 bedrooms with room to sleep 6.

Summer season is mid-June through mid-September.

A fifty percent deposit is required upon reservation, plus $150 cleaning fee, $250 admin fee and $250 refundable security deposit. The balance of rent is required three weeks prior to move in. No smoking or pets please. Temporary daytime boat docking of renter's watercraft only allowed with owners' advance permission. ONE MONTH (28 DAYS) MINIMUM RENTAL PERIOD

Relaxing and cute cottage

My family and I had a great vacation at this cottage. There is a lovely screened in porch to hang out on and watch the sunsets and it is bike-able to beaches and the city of Holland. It is a very nice place for a smaller group and the host is on top of everything!

Holland

The property was situated right next to the lake, and we had no surprises on expectations. We will definitely be going back in the future. The hosts were incredibly gracious.

Would give more than 5 stars if we could. Loved it.

The view of the lake was outstanding. Right off the lake. The owners can't be beat. They responded to any text questions within minutes. They met us at the cottage and gave us a tour and information. They had suggestions for things to do. We felt like we were good friends. Would recommend this and hope to be a returning guest!!!

Lovely Traditional Michigan Getaway

This cottage is classic Michigan! Not too fancy or complicated, but perfect for a week get away to cooler weather and a slower pace of life. The owners are lovely and splendid landlords. The location is ideal—we’d rent this property again!

Lake views

Great location and we all enjoyed chilling in the screened porch, looking out over the lake. Great shopping, beaches, tennis courts and parks near by. Great communication with the owner. Would definitely return!

Perfect for us

We throughly enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect for our needs and the house was clean and well-kept. The screened porch was definitely the highlight, but my son also loved having his own space in the attic bedroom. Joel and his wife were excellent hosts, meeting us at the house, offering advice and tips, and even lending me a bike for the week.

This is a cute little cottage right on Lake Macatawa.

The hosts of this cottage were very accommodating. Very clean and has everything you need. It does not have a dishwasher but that is not something that is needed. This cottage is right on the water but has a fence with a gate that makes it secure for the kids to be in the backyard.

Slice of Nostalgia on Picturesque Lake

Quiet sunsets over Lake Macatawa (Holland, MI). There was an abundant supply of all things needed for a comfortable vacation (bath towels, dish detergent, Kleenex... you name it, they had it!) We thought about renting it again for next year...Oops! Already booked!) Highly recommended!

Fantastic House on Lake Macatawa!

This house is fantastic. Very clean. Exactly as described. Incredibly comfortable. Location is perfect—right on Lake Macatawa—with a screened in porch on the back that faces the lake. You are minutes from wonderful downtown Holland, 10 minutes from Saugatuck, and half-an-hour to Grand Haven. One last thing: the owners are marvelous. They met us at the house at check-in and showed us the property and explained everything. Plus, they are genuinely warm, wonderful people. In short, this is a fantastic house and I plan on returning many times in the future.

Great stay

This rental is exactly as promised. It is a charming cottage right on the lake with wonderful views of the summer sunset. Everything was clean and ready to go upon arrival. The owners met us at the home to give us a tour of the house, the yard, and the dock. They also gave us some restaurant and entertainment suggestions that we did utilize. For a week in late July, we had interesting weather (mid 60s and rain) but didn't run out of things to do. We were six adults and two kids 3 and under and had a great time.
