Historic cottage by Holland State Park and Lake Michigan

This vintage beach cottage is located in the sand dune hills of Historic Ottawa Beach resort area. Bike paths, sidewalks and board walks surround this cottage giving you access to Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa. Walk down the hill and go to the General Store, climb Mt. Pisgah, or walk along the channel into the state park and watch the boats go by. Go the other direction and walk along the upper or lower board walk until you get to the sandy beach of Lake Michigan. Enjoy the sun and surf and don't forget to stay for at least one of our magnificent sunsets.

Please note that there are 2 parking spaces designated for this cottage. The walk from the parking area to the cottage is about 100 ft. I have 2 extra parking passes if needed for another parking area a little farther away.

Quaint cottage near beach

Location was excellent and was peaceful and quiet. It was a short walk, or drive, to the beach. Everything we needed was there except it would be good to provide shower soap in both bathrooms and not just shampoo.

Charming cottage

We had a great stay and the location was excellent. We enjoyed lots of time at the beach and biking on the bike paths. Some furnishings and fixtures could use a bit of repair, but that’s to be expected in an older home. Overall it fit our needs very well.

Lovely historic cottage in a unique setting of associated historic cottages. Wonderful screened porch. Only drawback was the poor queen bed mattress upstairs.

One night stop over

The accommodations were relaxing. The deer were somewhat thrilling. If I had read about the approach to the property before we got there it would have been more enjoyable. Nice, clean surroundings. I wish we had stayed longer.

Wonderful location. Very cute vintage but has all the necessities and then some for a wonderful enjoyable stay. Walking distance to favorite ice cream and beach. Was in awe with the vintage artifacts merged with beach theme. Host was very receptive and loved them games and books.

Lovely place!

We had a great long weekend here! The home is even nicer in person than it looks in photos. We had plenty of space for our family of five. We spent a lot of time at the beach and riding bikes. The kitchen was well equipped. Thank you, Harriet, for sharing your beautiful home with us!

really neat place!

the pictures really tell the story - the outdoor areas, the veranda, the rooms, the decor -- just a really neat fun getaway, right where Lake Mac and Lake Mich meet - what more could anyone ask for! The only negative is being sad to leave and wishing you could stay a little longer!

Sister Reunion

This was a perfect place for my 3 Sisters and myself having a weekend Reunion. It was within walking distance of the Holland Lighthouse and that made it great for one of us who loves Lighthouses. The area had some great restaurants that we enjoyed and the Farmers Market was great fun on Saturday too. Harriet the owner was very easy to reach and get assistance as we needed.

Wonderful little place with charm

I loved this stay and would totally recommend it. The walk to the lake is fabulous. My only hesitation in recommending it was, as described in the great communication from the host, was the parking and wayfinding was pretty tricky since we got in late at night. Providing a precise GPS location would have definitely coming in handy.
