Cozy new built home for 2, country living with city near by

My husband and I built and designed this house (900 square foot) for simple/retirement living. In floor heating, mini split AC. There is a large pond that separates us and our son/neighbor. We often see wild life here. We have a small patio in the front and a bigger one in the back yard. There is a natural gas grill and firepit/ fire wood in the back yard as well. Our home is equipped with everything you would have in your own home for a comfortable stay. Close to biking, hiking, and cross country skiing, snow showing and sledding (pigeon creek and Hemlock crossing are geared for year round with skiing and snowshoeing). Pigeon river kayak and canoe access less then two miles away, connects to lake michigan. Boat launch less then 2 miles away, just punch in boat launch/ramp near me on your Google maps.
We are Located between Holland (9.9 miles away) and Grand Haven (13 miles away) state parks/downtown day and night life. Tulip time runs May7-15 in Holland, parades, mini carnival and street entertainment. On Wednesday's and Saturdays Holland has a farmer's market from mid May-early December. Street performers (free entertainment) every Thursday evening from 6:30-8:30 in the summer between June 15-August 17, including musicians, caricature artists, magicians, and sometimes aerial acrobats all along Holland's downtown 8th street, which also has several breweries, restaurants and a winery. Grand Haven Coast guard festival runs from July 28-August 6, filled with music, activities, fireworks, food and more.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

The Perfect Place for Two

My wife and I were in town for a festival in Holland and this place could not have been more perfect. Everything we could need and more was provided by our gracious host. One of the best stays we’ve had in our years of traveling with VRBO.

A great place to stay

We stayed at the cabin for one night, and it was perfect for our needs. Check-in was easy, the space was clean and neat, and very cozy. The host did a great job of communicating good local options for restaurants and activities, we really enjoyed the local farmer's market on Saturday morning. We also enjoyed the bird feeders outside the windows - we got a visit by a hummingbird in the morning! Thank you for your kindness and hospitality!

A bicyclists paradise

My husband and I chose to stay here in order to do some biking in the area. Not only is the home immaculate, comfortable, peaceful, and well stocked, but it's so close to the main bike trails that take you to Holland, Saugatuck, Grand Haven, and Zeeland. There's also three pickleball courts just down the street. We had a wonderful time. Our host was responsive, generous, and helpful. We would love to come back to this particular location for sure! Best place we've stayed.

Beautiful cozy stay

Such a comfy place to stay. The host labeled everything from lights to directions on the shower, heating, and doors etc. Making everything super easy and relaxing. The house had a cozy cabin feel with all the amenities of home. Awesome wifi, water pressure, and lighting. Although we didn't use much of the outside, there's a spacious backyard and lovely patio plus a fire pit. Everything was a 10-15 minute drive away. It's a fairly secluded cute getaway overall.
