We stayed here for our wedding weekend. It was the prefect place to get ready so much space. I was able to get ready downstairs with the girls and the guys stayed upstairs. Everyone loved it.
This property is everything they say it is. We were a golf group of 12. This is a great place to stay if your are playing America Dunes, close and very convenient.
This was the perfect place for our extended family to stay together during the weekend of our cousin's wedding (which was in Holland). There was plenty of space for everyone, and the house was well stocked with all of the materials we needed for a comfortable stay. We'd love to come back for a family reunion sometime!
“Into the Woods” was the prefect atmosphere for our annual staff retreat! Plenty of clean, comfortable, relaxing, open indoor spaces surrounded by serene woods, trails and the river! Just beautiful! We really enjoyed our time and hope to return in the future!!
It was a wonderful week at Into The Woods. We had plenty of room, comfortable beds and probably the cleanest VRBO I've rented. Surroundings were varied with a river, paths in the woods, a couple beaches a short drive away, golf courses near. If you have a crowd I highly recommend!
18-20 women, ranging in age from 50-80 years old. We appreciate the level open floor plan, with our portable ramp we can get our wheelchair bound friend into the house. The basement is great for crafts, it is cooler down there. The kitchen is well supplied with everything you could probably need. Beds are reasonably comfortable. Many games, puzzles, extra blankets are all available to use. We have been here twice and plan to return next summer in 2024.
The property was perfect for our retreat before our mission trip. There was more than enough room for our group. And the view of the river is beautiful. And bonus, the beach at lake Michigan was just 5min away. Loved the kitchen and our ability to eat our meals together as one group. Perfect space for any retreat!
Our group loved this place. A beautiful view of the river with access if you want to put a boat in. The restaurant at the end of the driveway is really nice with some good food. We will definitely be back!
Had a great stay here. The house had everything we could have ever needed. We enjoyed the spacious layout and amenities!
The house has plenty of space for family activities and sits quietly in the woods for relaxing and enjoying nature. The house is in good shape and has everything necessary to feel like a home away from home.
This place has it all! Large open gathering space, dining room and expanding kitchen. Big beautiful bedrooms. Comfy beds and pillows. Gorgeous views. We all felt like we were up north or in a secluded private forest!
This place was perfect for our group which included a woman who needed wheelchair access. With everything on the first floor in the open floor plan she was able to move around quite well. The rest of us spread out through the house and we never felt like we were crowded and conversations could be held without feeling like they were interfering with somebody else’s conversation. The kitchen was awesome fully equipped. The dining area roomy enough for all of us to sit around tables. The location was ideal for excursions to Holland and Saugatuck. And we enjoyed Windsnest beach very much. We plan to come back as we have been doing this as an annual gathering for 20 or more years. And this year we were up to 20 women. We all agreed that this was a wonderful meeting place and it would be absolutely perfect if it were right on Lake Michigan! However we then could not afford it.
Ammenities provided are plentiful, numerous pots and pans, dishes, electrical appliances, lots of room for active children and space for adults to spread out. Decor very nice, bedrooms very comfortable except for ceiling fans that don't work. Back patio a nice morning gathering place for coffee and discussing plans for the day with plenty of seating. Exterior landscaping can use some work but overall a great place for a large group or family. Very close to Holland and Grand Haven for sightseeing or beaches.
There was so much open space for the children to play, including a large balcony and a fenced backyard, plus lots of indoor space. Sleeping areas were separated well from the main living area so younger children could sleep. Everyone had plenty of space for their own family units but lots of great common space for playing games, making s’more’s over the fire pit and so on. Everyone loved it! We will definitely be back!
This property was perfect for our spring hiking club trip from Ohio. There were 19 of us and plenty of room. Everything was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. We only stayed two nights, so not enough time to fullly enjoy the property, but one guest had the Merlin bird id app on their phone, and I sat outside with her and noted all the birds that were found tweeting around us. Many were species that we don't have in our area of Ohio. This was everyone's first trip to the Holland area, and we all loved it and the house. We would definitely come again. Kitchen was well stocked, too. Can't think of one negative thing to say (and believe me--I wouldn't hold back).
