Quirky Cottage Downtown Grand Haven

Welcome to the Cutest Summer Cottage! This place is full of charm and character. The location is perfect, with easy walking to all of the restaurants, bars, and shops on Washington street. Just blocks to the boardwalk and musical fountain. It's an easy stroll or quick bike ride to the award winning beaches and historical lighthouse. This cottage has a fully appointed kitchen with a large skylight and modern appliances. Four Bedrooms, (one bedroom on the main level) easily sleep eight (one queen, two fulls and two single beds). Large Bathroom with separate claw foot tub and shower. This place has something for everyone, plenty of books and games for children of all ages. The house is set far back from the road with fire pit and lots of room for kids to chase those fireflies while you grill or use the out door shower. This house adds up the perfect magical place you will want to return to, year after year! The tan lines will fade but the memories spent at the cottage will last a lifetime. We regret the cottage is not handicap accessible.

Great Time at the Quirky Cottage

Our family of four has a lovely Labor Day weekend stay. Tim was great at communicating with us and the neighborhood was lovely. I love the character of the house and only wish we could have stayed longer!

Perfect for our family with young kids

We just finished our trip to Grand Haven, and everything about the Cottage was perfect for our family. We had room to host friends, lots of indoor and outdoor activities, and an incredibly stocked kitchen. We look forward to hopefully staying again next summer!

Guys weekend

We all had a great time. Just a couple blocks away from everything which was nice. Very hilly so you got a workout in walking everywhere but still close to everything. I would recommend to anyone i know planning a trip to Grand Haven.

Felt Like Home!

We loved the Quirky Cottage for our family of 5. Perks included a great location super close to all of the restaurants & shops, having 3 bedrooms upstairs for the "kids" while parents stayed in the main floor bedroom, huge yard with fire pit for evening activities, and a fully loaded home with kitchen gear, outdoor toys, kids games, you name it. The host was super efficient and had great communication. We will certainly be back to this cozy gem!

Wonderful stay

This house is in the PERFECT location. Walking, biking, or short drive to just about everything. Like other reviews said, the floors are super uneven with many small stairs, it was a bit nerve wracking with a very active 1.5 year old. That being said, with such a great location we were really only at the house for nap and bed time so it worked out just fine! The host offers a lot of great amenities for kids and the whole house smelled and looked so clean. Really great stay!

Great House for location

My family and I enjoyed staying at house, thought I had a frig problem- but didn’t and Tim was so kind to respond.. We loved all the perks of the house-games, air in each room, outside shower, welcome basket was fun - and hidden coin . Location nice for walking downtown. Thank-you for sharing your house with us we loved it. Toni & family

Third visit

Our grandkids love the quirky cottage and want to come back every year. The decor is cozy and inviting. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to make our meals from the farmers' market offerings. Location cannot be beat. We walked everywhere including the beach, splash pad, and downtown shops/restaurants. The deep yard is great for kids to play safely...lawn and table games provided. Thanks Tim for sharing the quirky cottage with us. We had a wonderful time! .

Quirky and fun

Location cannot be beat...we walked everywhere. You might want to bring a small wagon if you have little kids. House is cozy & clean. Tons of table games to play during down time. Beach toys provided. Kitchen is supplied well. As mentioned in previous reviews, floors are not level and has multiple step ups and downs. The 70 yr olds in our group were able to adjust. Love the neighborhood full of historic homes. Had a great experience at the quirky cottage and will be back!

Great Location

So yes this house is a little weird and half of the floors are not even close to level but downtown Grand Haven is just a few blocks away and the beach is about a 20 min walk. We enjoyed our stay here and we would stay here again. Upon arrival when we checked in the cleaning from the previous occupants had not been done. I messaged the property manager and they had a service come out very quickly but we did have to leave for a few hours while the cleaning people finished. Sounds like there was a miscommunication on when the cleaning service needed to arrive.

We happily returned

Well located to beach and business area. Well stocked kitchen/ appliances. Ample clean linens, towels, even firewood for the excellent fire area w Adirondack chairs. Very cute decor in lake theme/ Americana . Decent gas grill. Bonus is Picnic Table outside Great laundry room, with lots of beach supplies like chairs, toys, yard games We never used TVs so idk about them. Cons: mattresses in Queen and Double bed adult rooms weren’t great, only 1 bathroom, nice shower outside but NO PRIVACY FENCE which seems easy enough to install. Downstairs bed- head noticeably lower than foot- could he at least put wood blocks under the headboard???? The window ac unit in 1st floor bedroom produced warm air even on High

We loved staying at the “Quirky Cottage”. It was a short walk to shopping, boardwalk, restaurants, and ice cream. We even walked to the pier. The neighbor was quiet and the yard was perfect for family. Definitely a cottage feel. We would stay again.

Quirky and Fun!!

This cottage was awesome—full of character that a lot of conversations started around. The beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows!! The kitchen had everything we needed, we played a lot of the games that were there too! We had about 15 people join us for hamburgers on the grill one day and the yard was perfect for that group of people! Overall a very great place to stay and close enough to downtown Grand Haven that we could walk there!!
