Macatawa, Michigan
Sunset Cottage is a truly wonderful classic cottage, perched high on Macatawa Park’s North Hill with spectacular views of Lake Michigan, Lake Macatawa and Big Red Lighthouse. With a short walk to a shared private beach and a charming, historical location, Sunset Cottage is a great vacation destination. Macatawa is a private beach community with quiet hours between 11pm and 9am.
This renovated cottage, with all of the comforts and amenities of home, will accommodate up to eight guests. It’s perfect for two small families, one larger family or three couples due to the sleeping configuration. Built in the 1890s, on the side of a dune, the house is vertical with four levels. The lowest level, reached up a few stairs from the street is an exterior cellar where beach gear is stored. Up from there is the side entry door to the first/lower level. This level has two bedrooms, each with a queen. It also has renovated bath with tub/shower as well as a den with the TV and a laundry room. On the main level (the second floor) there is an open kitchen, dining and living area, a bath with a tub (no shower) and the door to a spacious deck. The large loft (the third floor) has two twins and a king. There is a well-appointed kitchen and a gas grill for the guest who enjoys cooking. There is a window ac unit which cools the loft, the main level and trickles down to the lower level. Linens are provided for your stay with the exception of beach towels.
In addition to spending time on the fabulous beach, enjoy relaxing on the the deck with your morning coffee and viewing incredible sunsets in the evening.
During your stay, you will have guest privileges at private tennis courts. Boat slips are available at Eldean Marina, just a five minute walk from the cottage. 1 Advernture Company offers rentals for all kinds of water sports as well as bikes. The dunes are a great backdrop for long walks on the beach or hikes on nearby trails. Excellent shopping and dining are just a short drive away in downtown Holland or Saugatuck. You'll find galleries, antiques, boutiques, cafes, ice cream shops, bookstores and delicious restaurants. Don't miss the Farmers Market, held on Wednesday and Saturday in downtown Holland.

What a view! We have been renting in the Holland, Lake Michigan area for over 15 years. This charming cottage had by far the best view. Very clean and well equipped. We used the air conditioner one day and it cooled off the entire cottage. The home owner was very responsive to any questions. The cottage has a huge deck which had a beautiful view of sunsets which we enjoyed every night. Would not hesitate to rent again
Love this cottage! The view from the deck is amazing! Everything we needed was there. Bedrooms and bathrooms were well equipped. The basement had everything we needed with beach chairs, inner tubes, umbrellas. Would definitely come back!
This cottage was a perfect place to stay for our family vacation. It was very clean and well-appointed—a great mix of old cottage charm and modern amenities. The cottage is aptly named—we enjoyed menu gorgeous sunsets on the large deck overlooking the lake. Highly recommend.
Everything necessary for a relaxing getaway is here - notably great indoor/outdoor living spaces and well appointed kitchen. The beauty of the ravines and lake is stunning. Host Jane was very welcoming and communicative.
This cottage has been brought up to date in the most beautiful way. The views from the deck are stunning, and the walk to the beach is very short - plus walking by the other cottages and friendly owners is very enjoyable. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked with nice cookware. And last, but not least, Jane is incredibly friendly and communicated in a timely affected matter.
This property was challenging with narrow stairs one shower, one closet, and a bit stuffy loft space for a king bed, but we made it work and enjoyed every inch of the charming cottage. Especially the deck with a million dollar view of Lake Michigan. We stayed in on the 4th and found the kitchen to be well equipped. Turned out to be the best night all week!
Everything was fabulous! Plan to come back!
We had a great time and relaxing stay! House was clean and close to the private association beach. It is an easy 5 min walk to the beach without much to carry, but easier to drive down to the beach and drop off your stuff, then drive the car back to the house to park because of the hill. It was nice to be within walking distance of Lake Macatawa, as well, and the marina. The view from the porch is amazing! We enjoyed the sunset every night.
Great views! Very lovely home. Stocked kitchen perfect for a cook.
We just returned from a fabulous week at the sunset cottage. It is perfectly situated between the beach, Holland and Saugatuck making it so easy to explore many different areas. Jane was very helpful both before and during our stay with suggestions about the area as well as boat rentals, so we were able to secure those before the busy holiday week. The beach was beautiful and easy to access from the cottage, although it may be difficult for those with health conditions or for very young children/toddlers as it is an uphill walk on the way back. However, that elevation is worth it for the amazing sunsets which can be enjoyed from the comfort of the back deck. We visited during the pandemic and were so happy to have the private beach to use, as it allowed us to keep a decent distance between us and the other visitors, even during the July 4th holiday week. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back next summer- thanks Jane!
