We had a nice stay at this cottage. It had everything we needed for a comfortable vacation. It really is just a few steps from the lake. We were delighted to have kayaks there available for our use. We had a great blue heron, a family of 5 swans, and a cormorant visit our dock. We enjoyed hiking in some nearby nature preserves, and took day trips to South Haven and Holland. The smart TVs were nice for evening relaxing. Overall a nice spot for an enjoyable vacation.

Gorgeous View

The size of the cottage was perfect for our family (4 people and 1 small dog). We loved the view of the lake from the dining room and living room. There are plenty of things to do around the cottage or within a short drive. We especially loved the kayaks, paddle boards and raft available to use. Overall we had a great time and will keep this cottage in mind for future trips!

Staying at Bart’s place was an incredible experience. The location is absolutely beautiful, right next to the lake — peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The place itself was spotless, cozy, and even better than we expected. Bart is a truly wonderful host; he’s thoughtful, kind, and genuinely cares about making sure you have the best stay possible.

This property is clean and has everything you need to relax and unwind. The deck overlooking Maple Lake was a great place to read a book and enjoy a glass of wine that was purchased at the near-by wineries. Plenty of restaurants and things to do in the area.
