Stunning Lake Views ~ Historic Peaceful Retreat Only 10 Minutes to Holland

Relax with the entire family at this peaceful retreat with beach access to the shore of Lake Michigan right in your back yard. Built by the president of Chris-Craft in the 50's, this home was constructed to look and feel like the cabin of a ship. Fully updated, it still retains its rich history & unique features. Located just north of Holland, you are close to all of the attractions that bring families to the area... beaches, trails, shops, and dining. The backyard offers a huge space forfamily fun with a stunning backdrop of Lake MI, a beautiful deck, and 60 stairs that give private access to the lakeshore.

Enjoy your visit to Holland in our single-story, fully renovated lakeshore cottage. There are five bedrooms, a full kitchen, dining area, family room, 2 full bathrooms, laundry room and a four-season sun porch. We offer an open floor plan that allows groups to gather in comfort and style.

BEDROOMS

Groups of up to 10 people can sleep comfortably in our home. There are 2 bedrooms with comfortable queen-size beds and 3 bedrooms with built-in bunk beds in each. All bed and bathroom linens are provided. Upper bunks will have fresh linens at the foot of each bed. All lower bunks and queen beds will be dressed with fresh linens.

BATHROOMS & LAUNDRY

There are two full bathrooms in the house – both are located off of the main hallway and are shared among the five bedrooms. They are fully remodeled and have walk in showers. We've got you covered with towels, soap, hair dryers, makeup mirrors and iron/ironing board. There’s a washer and dryer in the main floor laundry room complete with detergent in case you need it!

RELAX AND CHILL

The family room has ample comfortable seating and a 50-inch Smart TV that has streaming access for Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc. (with your own logins). We have a large four-season sun porch and rear patio with Adirondack chairs and fire pit for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful lake views and sunsets. We have a deck at the edge of the sand dune to enjoy the stunning views as well. Of course, walking the beach of Lake Michigan is the favorite pass-time for many and you can access the beach by the deck stairs (approximately 60 steps) in our back yard.

DINING IN

The fully-stocked kitchen has all of the essentials to cook and enjoy meals together. There's a refrigerator, stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, blender, cookware, dishes, utensils, drinking glasses, wine glasses, wine opener and more. We’ve also provided a standard 14-cup AND a single cup Keurig coffee maker with a starter supply of coffee & sweeteners as we know how important this morning ritual is. The dining table off of the kitchen and family room makes mealtime cozy and fun.

If you're in town for work or just need to stay caught up on email, rest assured we've got high-speed WiFi and two laptop friendly workspaces for your use – on the sun porch and in the family room.
