Holland, Michigan
Welcome to Heavener Hill, your nature filled relaxation destination.
At Heavener Hill your vacation can be as fun filled or as relaxing as you wish. We are centrally located between Holland and Saugatuck offering both charming towns within a few minutes’ drive, including shopping, beaches, restaurants, bars, go karts, dunes rides, and much more. The house is located in Lake Town Township. A very quaint area that includes 7 local parks that allow splendid nature walks, play areas, catch and release fishing, Frisbee golf, and much more. About a quarter of a mile down the road is the spacious bike path that leads to Saugatuck or Holland, depending on which way you head. The path is great for family bike rides, walks and running.
At Heavener Hill you have privacy on 10 acres that include a generous yard for room to play those memory making games of football, ladder ball or corn hole (which are waiting for you during your stay) and some great woods for your peaceful walks or your little explorers. For those nights of roasting marshmallows or a couple drinks around the fire, please enjoy our fire pit. No worries, we have plenty of wood for your time with us. While enjoying the outdoor seating area, you may spy some great nature. We commonly see humming birds, bluebirds, squirrels, chipmunks, but will also turkey, deer, fox, hawks, and the occasional bald eagle. There is plenty of outside parking as well.
In 2017, we lifted the 1890 house and added a lower level. It was an amazing process and we hope you enjoy it. It includes 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, and kitchenette with microwave and dishwasher. Heavener Hill has 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The upstairs bedrooms consists of 1 queen, 1 full, bunk beds with a pull out trundle. There is also a queen pull out, full pull out and futon. In the lower level, we have 2 queen bedrooms and a queen pull out. The baths include tub/shower combo upstairs, shower with bench downstairs and a tub/shower combo downstairs. All the towels and linens are provided. All you need to bring is a beach towel. We have all the amenities you will need for an amazing get away, especially with our fully equipped kitchen, outdoor eating area, large yard, and memories waiting to be made.
The house was perfect for our group of 12! Everyone had a bed to sleep on and the house never felt cramped or crowded. The location was beautiful and super convenient. We were able to visit the beach and downtown Saugatuck without having to drove very far! Thanks for the great stay!
House was very clean and Diana was great to work with.
It is a great place to stay. Close to Holland. The house is very comfortable. Room for everyone. Will come back again.
This property was perfect for our family vacation. The spacious house offered us time together and also privacy when we wanted. The separation of the bedrooms allowed the grand children to sleep while the adults continued to socialize. The fire pit was wonderful and the view of the stars exceptional. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed or wanted. Who could ask for more?
We had a group of adults staying in town for a wedding. The property was secluded enough that we didn’t have to worry about keeping late hours and was also an easy and quick drive into town. The photos of the property don’t do it justice! We were greeted with farm fresh eggs and homemade cookies which was perfect considering we all were coming in from a last minute 10 hour drive due to cancelled flights. During our 2nd night the power went out due to a storm (all of Holland lost power, which rarely happens) and Diana was great to message us and make sure we were ok. The house was very spacious for us 5 couples with plenty of room for us to settle. This was a true home away from home and I would definitely stay again next time I’m in the area!
The house was beautiful and clean and had so much space. My wedding party stayed here the weekend of my wedding, and we enjoyed every moment at the house. We were welcomed with a plate of delicious cookies and a bowl of fresh eggs in the fridge, which we enjoyed for breakfast one morning. The finished basement was gorgeous! Thanks again - We highly recommend Heavener Hill!
Plenty of room for all the family. Great facilities, really enjoyed the outside areas, fire pit, seating areas and woods.
Where do I begin?? Diana was always very quick to answer any and all communications. The property was EXACTLY as advertised and the pictures did not do it justice as the house was immaculate! We had a party of 9 which included myself, my wife, my 23 yr old twin boys, my 14 yr old twin boy and girl, one of my older son's girlfriend and each of my younger ones brought a friend. With the 2 levels, we were able to spread out when needed but living rooms on each level were big enough for us all when wanted to be together. There were enough bedrooms where everyone had plenty of room to sleep as well. With the sofa sleepers, we could have had a few more people there as well. We enjoyed a night out by the fire and the kids liked the rope swings. They could not find the paths down by the telephone poles but that was okay. Charcoal, lighter fluid provided made cooking out a breeze. The large table in the kitchen allowed us all to eat together which was very nice. The kids played board games they brought from home and also card games with the cards provided. My wife and I enjoyed the sitting area located off the kitchen for reading and talking in the beautiful Michigan weather. The location was close to everything as Holland and Saugatuck/Douglas were within a 15 min drive. We enjoyed downtown Holland and their activities (we had been there 2 years ago) but made our first venture to Saugatuck on this trip. We LOVED Saugatuck with its beauty and nice shops. Although the weather was only in low to mid 70's while we were there, it remained dry for a couple of days so we enjoyed a day at Oval Beach. It was less crowded due to the weather so that was a plus. It was a brisk 58 degrees in water but we went in anyway. It was sunny enough to get a few mild sunburns (LOL). All in all, the only bad thing is we didn't stay longer up here in Michigan. I would DEFINITELY recommend this property to friends and family (which I already have) and anyone who wants to be close to things but yet a little bit out by yourself. Thanks again to Diana for opening up this home and the many things provided both in the house and outside of it.
Perfect house for our family vacation. Large property with trees, outdoor seating and rope swings. Comfortable rooms and plenty of restrooms for a family of six. Close 5 minute drive to the Michigan lake. Beautiful home! Thanks
Diana was a great host We had everything that we needed. There was a nice surprise welcome package waiting for us when we arrived. The place was very clean. There was a little storm our last night and she called to make sure everything was fine. We are recommending this home to our family and friends. Thank you The Hass Family
