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.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

It was a cute place with plenty of room. We had a great stay. Although one bed wasn't made up when we got there and the neighbors were very rude about the parking.

We had beautiful weather for our late September stay so were able to enjoy the relaxing back porch and lovely view. The house accommodated our group of nine really well. It was a very cool old house. Could use a bit of a dusting on the knick knacks and corners, and I don't suggest coming in in the dark. With the way the parking is and where the house is located, we struggled a bit. The walk to the parking lot isn't huge, but you do need to be prepared for carrying your luggage from there. The neighborhood is lovely, but there's one grumpy neighbor who informed us not to unload in front of her house (which took us literally one minute to get groceries out). But plenty of other waving neighbors as we drove by.

Some things great...some things not so much

The house was cute and the historic details were fun. The location is absolutely amazing, with a short walk to the beach, ice cream, bike paths, and hiking trails. However, saying that the property is air conditioned is a bit of a stretch. The property has window units, not central air. The main first floor unit is undersized for the square feet needing cooling. Upstairs, the main bedroom had a AC in good working order. One bedroom didn't have AC at all, and the third bedroom had an AC, but it did not really keep the room cold at all, even though the unit said it was set at 64. This was really hard on my 73 year old mother in law, and hard on the complainers in our group :). The dishwasher did not work, something to do with the water not flowing through the tube to the machine (we tried a few ways to fix this with no avail).

Great Stay

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.

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.
