Macatawa Lake View Cottage by State Park and Bike Trails

Our cottage is located right on Lake Macatawa and just down the road from the Holland State Park.---Walk, hike, run, bike, or drive to the park entrance, which is less than a mile away or go 5 miles in the other direction to shop and get something to eat in downtown town Holland.
Our Yellow Cottage is perfect for family fun-all the amenities to make your stay easy--dishwasher, washer/dryer, two bathrooms, and a fabulous view of Lake Macatawa. There's plenty of parking for your guests too, and a 2-stall garage for your car and 'extra' items. We supply a few bikes for your use or if you prefer, bike rental is available within a few blocks of our cottage. Enjoy watching all the lake activity from the back yard and end your night sitting with family and/or friends around the campfire.
You are welcome to use the grassy park next door to this cottage which has steps going into the lake but due to high water no longer has a sandy beach.

The house was cozy and the view out the back was amazing. It was super clean and well supplied. The beds weren't as comfortable as we'd hoped for and despite the many fans it got quite warm.

The Perfect Setting

We needed a quick, one-night stay with family and this was the perfect house. Super easy check-in, comfortable beds and clean. We loved the retro touches and the multiple places for guests to sit and enjoy the view. We also appreciated not having a huge cleaning fee and were happy to do a quick cleanup. Thanks for making this easy!

Awesome!

It is a perfect location on Lake Macatawa and walking distance to Holland State Park. The house is a perfect beach house. We enjoyed the fire pit at night, canoeing during the day, and beautiful sunsets at Lake Michigan. I'm looking forward to another visit!

August 2024 visit

Overall a wonderful family stay being right on lake macatawa and close to great restaurants in Holland. Love the beaches there. But watch out when getting out of the shower. I tripped, fell on my head, and ended up in two hospitals for parts of two days. Other than that it was avery enjoyable state

Relaxing stay at the lake

We spent 4 nights in this lake house. Although older, it was clean and very functional for our family of 6. The views are incredible from the rear of the house. We had a couple minor issues during our stay, and Harriet was very quick to respond and was helpful. We highly recommend this vacation cottage for a relaxing turnback in time.

Perfect spot on lake

This was an ideal spot for my elderly mom, my brother, my spouse and me. Mom could easily navigate the entire property using a walker and even managed the short walk down the street for dinner. House is right on the beautiful lake and less than a mile to the Holland State Park Beach with an accessible paved walkway the whole way. House is small but spaciously laid out and views were marvelous. So delighted we found this place!

Mixed Bag Experience

The good and the bad:The Good: -Nice lakeview-Local wildlife (super friendly ducks!)-Proximity to Holland and State Park-Plenty of sleeping space-Nice backyard space to relaxThr Bad:-Typical stuffy cottage issues... needs screens in windows for air movement or better AC options.-Listing was inaccurate. Futons were listed but were actually sofas. Sleeper sofas are fine for kids but the adults sleeping on them had back issues xD-Appliances need some work. After hours at the beach grandpa wanted to watch some baseball but the TV cable was out. Host attempted to fix the 2nd day but the day we arrived to the TV on and non-functional. The VCR combo TV was also non functional and listed a "VCR head needs to be cleaned" message. We also found a note indicating the dish washer was broken. Unclear if this was accurate as the host indicated otherwise but we didnt want to risk water damage if something went wrong.-Host did respond to our issues but not until late the 1st day in. Generally would recommend expecting questions or assistance requests day 1 at check-in time.-Decorations were cute and themed but not child friendly. We were concerned the kids would break some of the many glass trinkets and decor so we packed everything away. Certainly a fun setup but having so many glass things at knee level is just asking for a 3 year old to drop your glass vase, shatter your dutch blue stonewear, or crack your vintage milk bottles.

June 2024

The house was well appointed. Clean and more spacious than I expected. Really liked the areas across the back with windows facing the lake. many comfortable chairs and a large couch. Instead of futons there are pull out couch/beds. One in the breezeway between the garage and the house. The other is in the dinning area. It happened we did not use either. Only down side, the bed my husband and I slept in was too soft for us. Might be perfect for others. We used the dishwasher twice. Second time it put a puddle on the floor. 7 of us plus an infant stayed full time at the house. Another 8 had hotel accommodations. The house was home base with all of us gathering for meals. There was plenty of comfortable easy space for the family to mix and mingle. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The home had a great location with beautiful views and the owner was very responsive. A few things were a disappointment as they differed from the listing. There was only AC in 1 bedroom and 1 living space and windows in the other rooms did not open. There was only 1 shower despite the listing showing 2. The appliances were very old with the dishwasher not being operational and there were no instructions left for it and apparently it was to hook up to the sink but there was not a hose provided to do so. The tvs and wifi did not work and the toilet in one of the bathrooms leaked leaving a large puddle on the floor.
