Needs a facelift
Great communication with David. The place was in a great location. We went our two little girls and we were able to walk to an awesome park. The place is just old and is in need of a deep clean. The instructions asked us to take off our shoes, but the rugs are old and need replaced and our socks were gross by the end of each day. The place has 3 bedrooms and can accommodate a good number of people, but only has a 4 cup coffee maker. (I actually bought one for $15 and left it there.) With a little bit of an investment in freshening up, this could be a great place!

Convenient location and quiet
Great little get-away place, with space for up to 8. Close to a park for walking and a short distance to the shopping and dining district, as well as the college and several historic spots.

Wonderful stay!
Property was clean, well-kept, plenty of space for our family of 5 to spread out. Close to waterfront park and close to downtown Holland as advertised. We rented bikes and explored the town and just loved the central location, close to everything. We enjoyed making breakfast in the house and made use of the firepit in the backyard one night for some smores. The wildflower gardens around the property are gorgeous and the owner has taken a lot of care to update this house and make it a really lovely place to vacation. I would definitely return and stay again next time we go to Holland!

Right amount of space and great location
My three kids each had a bed upstairs, husband and I had the bedroom downstairs and it worked out wonderfully. We were able to walk over to Kollen Park and play, very convenient for driving to anywhere we needed to get to, could walk to DeBoer’s. Beautiful landscaping, I enjoyed sitting on the porch in the mornings with my coffee. Kitchen was stocked, laundry was very convenient and everything went great for our long weekend.

This was a great house to stay at in Holland, MI. Close to a great park, walking and biking trails. My family of 8, 4 adults and 4 kids 5 yo and younger. There was plenty of room. And we all survived with 1 bathroom. Will stay here again.

What a beautifully kept vintage feel in this rustic home!
The home itself is so well kept, well stocked and loved on routinely and is in thee best location! We walked... to the park, the playground, the boardwalk, an amazing dinner and a cute cafe. And a few mile drive to the Holland State Park beach made for such a wonderful lake life beach vacation! We would absolutely stay again and recommend this place, owner, cleaning crew... the whole thing, to anyone! It was lovely!!
