About this property

Cozy apartment getaway in Holland

Nestled in the heart of the city of Holland, enjoy a reprieve from your busy lives and experience the community offered at this unique retreat.

This home originally operated as the parsonage connected to a local center city church and was eventually purchased by Brownson Properties as part of a mission to offer a welcoming space for all people to enjoy the City of Holland. After Jeannette, the owner of Brownson Properties' recent passing, her family has chosen to continue to host those looking to experience her beloved community as a legacy of her commitment and belief that 'God's intention is for people to love and be loved.'

Once you enter this cozy home you will enjoy peaceful privacy on the upper level of this brick, 2-story home. Spacious bedroom with hardwood floors and king bed offers a sunny view of the quaint Westcore neighborhood. A separate family room provides a space for reading, reflection, and conversation and is also equipped with a small kitchenette for late-night snacks and morning coffee. Though there is not a full kitchen, there are many amenities that will make your stay pleasurable. The common room is equipped with a mini fridge, microwave, Keurig, and a toaster oven. A full bath completes this floor. The outdoor patio is available as shared communal space on the lower level.

Plan your day exploring the unique opportunities Jeannette was so passionate about. Take a walk to Hope College, Kollen Park, the Civic Center bountiful Farmer's Market, and enjoy endless window shopping along the heated sidewalks found in the heart of the city. Kayak or hike at Macatawa River Greenway, take a short drive to Holland State Park, spend a day on Lake Michigan and look forward to a memorable meal at the wide variety of great eateries. Worship, volunteer, and reflect while enjoying a famous Lake Michigan sunset.

Build new relationships and a community you can come back to whenever you feel the need to restore and refresh. Jeannette created this opportunity with you in mind!

*Please note that this is an apartment on the second level of the home.

REVIEWS
"We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful upstairs loft. We visited during the Tulip Festival and the location was perfect. We were lucky to meet the owner and enjoyed visiting with him. Would recommend to stay in this beautiful neighborhood lined with tulips"
Jennifer S.

"I enjoyed my stay at this location. The inside was serene and peaceful and the neighborhood was quiet (and particularly beautiful in the spring with the tulips and trees in bloom). I would stay here again and hope to have the opportunity to do so in the future."
Wendy P.

"We had a great time! This upstairs space was just what we needed while in Holland. With so many delicious local restaurants, we didn't need to worry about having a kitchen to cook in. We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood in the evenings, looking at the beautiful homes and flowers."

Tip toe through the tulips

Tulip Festival

My wife and I drove to Holland from western Wisconsin to visit for the Tulip Festival. The accommodations we had were 10 PLUS! The location was perfect for walking to everything we came for (and we're seniors). The owner was a very kind person and takes personal pride in the ownership of this rental. If we ever come back this would be our first choice.

Quiet, clean, pleasant neighborhood, walkable (sort of long) to downtown. Reasonably priced for what it is, basically a comfortable bedroom with a second room. As the listing says, there isn't a full kitchen, just a microwave and coffee machine and a small fridge. There is an outstanding breakfast place a short walk away (The Biscuit) so you won't miss preparing breakfast. Owner lives in the other half of the house and was very pleasant.

Great location, Cute space, Nice Owner!

We had a great time in Holland and we enjoyed our VRBO well enough. It was cute, clean, and well located, but the bed which was extremely uncomfortable and the room was very hot, I barely slept either night we stayed. If I did it again I'd bring a nice pillow or comforter to soften the bed a bit and just plan for a cooler weekend.

Wonderful intimate escape in the heart of Washington Blvd. Historic District

My wife and I were looking for a place within walking distance to downtown Holland for a long weekend, and found this wonderful getaway that is about a 20 minute walk from there. We were also able to walk to Washington Square, which was a neat bonus! The space was immaculate and well furnished, and the owner, who lived downstairs, was extremely friendly and gave us the space we needed. It was just like a hotel suite! Overall, a great experience - we would both highly recommend!
