Macatawa Lake Side Cottage by State Park and Bike Trails

Home was perfect for our weekend friends trip. Clean, spacious and a beautiful view of the lake!

Beautiful view of Lake Macatawa, comfortable and relaxing.

Outdoor backyard was spectacular and spacious with many table options. House, especially kitchen, was small for our group.

We (3 friends) stayed here for 5 nights. We all feel that the location was wonderful, it is close to restaurants, the Holland State Park, and to the city of Holland. Grand Rapids, Saugatuck and Grand Haven are all nearby. The actual house was adequate and comfortable. Not fancy. I see previous comments about cleanliness, and we all felt that the house could use a good deep cleaning. The upstairs king bathroom window could not be opened because it lacked a screen. Light bulbs over the vanity in this bathroom flickered. One window in the upstairs king bedroom was missing the screen, and the crank to open and close it didn't work. The other window had a screen, but the crank also didn't work. A request that guests clean toilets, mop floors, wipe down mirrors and vacuum seemed excessive. I do want to stress that we enjoyed our stay here, the view of the lake is wonderful, it is quiet at night. And we loved seeing the gulls, swans, cormorants, and the heron that visited daily.

Location is Excellent. Very Clean.

this place is wonderful! house is a great size, so much outdoor space and basically right on the beach. dock is great. We had 9 adults stay there very comfortably to watch SVSU sailing regatta right out of the marina and could watch right form the houseWould stay again

The property location was great, old house but okWe have a problem with 2 of the 3 showers we were not able to use themtto used

Great rental for a large group.

Easy check-in! Thank you

We, again, had a wonderful stay. This is the third year in a row that my team has been meeting here for an overnight retreat. The house has everything we need for a comfortable retreat.

My family had a wonderful time in this home with wonderful lake views. It was winter so we could not use the beach, pier etc. but the view and location were great. The working fireplace was very nice for the winter as was the attached garage.

We had a good stay

We rented both of Harriet’a houses for a family wedding. Liked having everyone right next door to each other.

No screens on windows- cobwebs with bugs in various places. Kitchen mats are a tripping hazard. Flickering lights in bathrooms.

Perfect location - quiet - beautiful view - plenty of room

Lake House is in a great location with the perfect view. Harriet was a wonderful host!

Overall very nice and clean. Wonderful views overlooking the water. The owner was quick to reply to any questions we had. We enjoyed using the fire pit and sandbox. We were a little frustrated that the screen doors on the porch didn't work at all so we weren't able to have any fresh air without letting all the flies in. Also, the lights on the porch didn't work so we wound up eating mostly in the dark. However, we were pleasantly surprised that there was another table and chairs on the porch for dining, which had not been pictured.

What a beautiful location and great potential for this property. With some additional deep cleaning and maintenance would really help. All the doors were unlocked when we arrived, didn’t feel the safest. With paying a cleaning fee, it was a bit of a shock all the requests expected of us as guests. Beautiful location and easy access to everything you want in Holland.

We were a group of 60-70 year old siblings. The location of this rental could not be more lovely! It is right on Lake Macatawa with great places to sit and view it- the outside deck or glassed in sunroom. Because of great weather, we were outside until dark. Each day some of us took the mile walk to Holland State Park, walked down the pier, down the beach, watched boats come in the canal and so forth. The house is older but very clean and the bedrooms & bathrooms are large and comfortable. Everyone left saying we need to come again! If you come with children not sure where they would swim. Does seem to be a couple small public places with some sand a short ways from the property.

Harriet was a pleasure to work with. The house was in a nice location and accommodated our family well.

The house was located in an amazing location right next to a state park. We walked over to the park and hiked a few of the trails. Also very close and convenient to downtown Holland. The backyard was the absolute best hangout spot. Plenty of tables and comfortable seating for everyone. And the backyard is so private! Just one neighbor next to use, but the mature trees blocked our view of them. I would highly recommend this house, especially if you like the outdoors!

I recently stayed at this gorgeous property and was not disappointed! The backyard and view were my favorite part. It was so peaceful. The house itself was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed plus more. I would definitely stay here again!

We had three generations spending a week together and could not have been happier with our house choice. The lake view is stunning and the yard is large and beautiful (we brought spike ball, could have also fit our corn hole set). There was something for everyone to do from the house or within walking distance (huge gorgeous well kept beach, biking, swimming, fishing, beautiful miles long beach walking, paddle boarding, jet skiing, restaurants, ice cream) and plenty more a short drive away (pickleball, shopping, city concert, Saugatuck shops). It was our first time staying in Holland and everyone in our group has requested we return next summer. Bedrooms are large and have room for inflatable mattresses in master and bunk room if needed for lots of singles in your group. The living room is not huge and no longer has a pull out but we didn’t have any issues with that because everyone wanted to be on the screened porch or patio all their waking hours and those offered multiple dining/games table and a variety of seating options. The furniture was in great shape (some seemed brand new like the reclining living room set). The main floor queen bed could use a new mattress, it’s quite soft (some may prefer that), but all others were good and everyone enjoyed having dressers and tables in their bedrooms for a comfortable stay. This has been the best fit for our group with a variety of interests, I highly recommend it!

Lovely setting; lots of sleeping space; kitchen has supplies for a group - which is what was needed.
