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.

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.

Fabulous location and charming property

The location of this property was fabulous. A short walk to the beach and connected to very cool paths to the state park and lake Michigan. The area is quaint and historic, and the house was very charming. The furnishings could use some updating, but the things were very clean and comfortable.

Great location

The location to the beach can't be beat, but furnishings are showing wear and it could use a refresh. No window coverings in some bedrooms and bathrooms. Wouldn't recommend for those traveling with toddlers or folks with mobility challenges, but good for others looking for a porch with a view and short walk to ice cream and the beach.

Charming cottage

We had a great stay and the location was excellent. We enjoyed lots of time at the beach and biking on the bike paths. Some furnishings and fixtures could use a bit of repair, but that’s to be expected in an older home. Overall it fit our needs very well.

Very good

This house is straight out of the movie Dan in Real Life. From the porch you can see the water with sailboats and such. Ot was very relaxing. Everything you would need is provided. The walking paths are great leading to the private beach and the other way to Holland State Park. You can walk to the General Store and to get ice cream. We would definitely stay here again.
