Our second time

This was our second time at harbor house. Old house, but bathrooms and kitchen nicely updated. Favorite places are the front porch and big table on the back shaded deck. Ate outside as much as we could. Everyone want to go back.

Fabulous

This area is lovely and the cottage was completely charming. Nice blend of the old charm and yet new modern appliances. We didn’t want to leave.

Perfect Location

We had two goals. We wanted to spend time at the beach and we wanted to see the fireworks over Lake Michigan. From this perfect location we were able to enjoy both with ease. The walk to the beach was a breeze for our 30-somethings and the drive for our oldsters was 3 minutes from starting the car to parking it near the beach. Very easy access to the boardwalk, two places for ice cream and other nearby features. We loved our stay at Harbor House. The house itself was comfortable, only a little creaky, very nice bathrooms and kitchen.

Harbor House on Ottawa Beach

The cottage is located on historic Ottawa Beach among many old cottages, some dating from the late 1880’s. It is located a five minute walk from the beautiful Holland State Park Beach. This is an excellent location for beach walking and hiking. It has a lovely harbor view. The cottage a recently renovated kitchen and two nice bathrooms. The living spaces and bedrooms are adequate, but very noisy due to the vintage charm of of old wood floors and thin wooden walls separating the rooms. We enjoyed our stay despite the very cold weather. Holland has a lot to offer.
