  We loved our stay at the Waukazoo Cottage. Very well kept and cozy. Kitchen well equipped. We enjoyed our early morning walk through the wooded neighborhood though it was a bit chilly that week-end. Overall an excellent experience and look forward to spending time again at the Waukazoo!

  We had such a wonderful overnight stay at Waukazoo Cottage. We started our time in Holland with brunch at deBoer Bakery and then spent the rest of the afternoon at the beach at the State Park. After going to the cottage, we enjoyed swinging in the hammock and then got cleaned up for dinner. The cottage was so cozy, we wished we would have bought food to just stay in and cook in the adorable kitchen. However, we decided to try out the 8th Street Grille, which had WONDERFUL sandwiches and AMAZING dessert (we especially enjoyed the bread pudding)!! We headed back to the cottage after meandering around downtown and sat in the backyard watching the stars for a while before heading in to watch the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics. After a restful night of sleep, we went for a walk around the neighborhood, ate breakfast on the deck, then went to the Farmer's Market. If you are in Holland on a Saturday, I recommend going to the Farmer's Market!! So fun. Lunch was at Curragh Irish Pub where we sat outside in the sunshine to eat our tasty food. We went back to the beach in the afternoon and concluded our weekend away with blueberry picking at Reenders Blueberry Farm. HIGHLY recommend this if you're in Holland during blueberry season! We had a very full 36 hours, and we were so grateful for a wonderful, clean, comfortable place to get refreshed! We would very much recommend Waukazoo Cottage to anyone staying in the Holland area!

  My husband and I just returned a few days ago from a weekend at Waukazoo. The cottage is so inviting, cozy and very clean. We had plenty of room to spread out with large closets. Though it was a rainy weekend, we still could enjoy the great restaurants and shops in adorable downtown Holland. It is just a short drive to the state park beach where we witnessed 2 fisherman each pull out a 12 -14 lb salmon within a 15 minute span of time! Even though the weather wasn't ideal, the beach was beautiful as we watched the clouds over Lake Michigan and even saw a water spout way off in the distance. (That is when we decided to head back to the cottage!) The neighborhood was very quiet and lovely with cute little black squirrels running around. Though we didn't get to use them, the hammock, fire ring, outdoor shower, and grill were very nice! We look forward to returning and enjoying some of the many outdoor activities offered and available at the cottage. Thank you Tim and Julie! Your cottage is wonderful and blessed our hearts and souls!

  This cottage was perfect for our family of four. Our two daughters--ages 7 and 12--loved choosing "their" rooms and exploring the beach gear-filled garage and huge back yard. Of course they loved the hammock and fire pit for making s'mores. Thanks to the cleanliness, lovely decorating and extra touches (such as the cool chalkboard-walled kitchen!), we all felt right at home at Waukazoo cottage. All the beds were very comfortable and it was great to have a washer/dryer and dish washer. The only slight negative was that the smallest bedroom does not have a window a/c unit and thus became quite stuffy, even when we ran the a/c units in the other bedrooms and left the doors open. Even with fans, my daughter did, on our final night with was very hot, have to move onto the living room sofa where the a/c from the other bedrooms could reach her. But that was just a small glitch--our family had a fabulous time at Waukazoo and look forward to hopefully coming back next summer!

  We really enjoy our stay at Waukazoo Cottage. The owner was very nice and easily accessible- we had all of our questions answered and then some. The cottage is lovely and has everything that’s needed. Kitchen is adorable and we all absolutely LOVED the front porch! Oh, the hammock…. How relaxing! We were concerned that AC window units may not be enough (we’re spoiled by the central AC), but everything was just fine. It’s located close to the beach and both Holland State and Holland Tunnel Park. There are a lot of small roads and sidewalks, so we could drive our bikes a lot. It’s affordable and cozy – definitely on our list of favorites rentals.

  We absolutely LOVED Waukazoo Cottage. We spent so much time on the front porch as a family and it was a great space for my husband and me to hang out together after our daughter had gone to bed. The lantern lights were perfect. Also, having a full (and super cute) kitchen helped us keep costs down and we took advantage of the grill and fire pit for cooking dinners. The location is very convenient and close to the beach, grocery stores, and other sites like restaurants, the Dutch Village, etc. Having a washer and dryer available 24/7 was priceless. Oh, the hammock was a family favorite as well. The owners gave us so much information before and during our stay that helped make our trip even more enjoyable. In the living room we found a wealth of formation on the area that we used almost daily for planning our activities. Our favorite spot was Ottawa Beach and it took us less than ten minutes to get there. Also, we enjoyed walking through historic Ottawa Woods as we took family walks around the neighborhood. We hope to return to Waukazoo Cottage many times as our 6-year-old grows up. Thank you for the perfect family vacation!

  We had a great time at Waukazoo cottage. The front porch was very peaceful and inviting. We spent a number of hours reading on the porch and relaxing. The cottage is close to the wonderful downtown area. Plenty of shopping and restaurants. Also close to Holland State Park and beach. Also you'll want to visit Captain Sundae for an ice cream treat. We will definitely return!

  We enjoyed a few days here during a Spring stay in Holland, MI. When it was sunny, the front porch was quite a pleasant place to relax. The cottage is nicely decorated and the owners are very helpful by providing printed information about the Holland area. The only downside was the size of the stand-alone shower for me. My 6 ' 4", large build body was a bit cramped while showering. For those looking for a bath, look elsewhere. Even so, we'd rent it again if it was available during our next trip to Holland, MI.

  We just returned from a 2 week stay at Waukazoo cottage and wish we could turn around and go right back! Everything about it was charming...especially the front porch where we spent a majority of our time. The cottage is nestled in a lovely neighborhood on the shores of Lake Macatawa and just minutes from the sandy beach of Lake Michigan. Everything was spotless and decorated beautifully. Holland is a gem and we spent a lot of time meandering in and out of shops and restaurants when we weren't at the beach or playing golf at nearby courses. I highly recommend Waukazoo Cottage and the Holland area for a fun, relaxing vacation. Thank you Julie and Tim! We hope to stay in your lovely home again soon!

  What a great place! From the awesome sun porch (our favorite feature of the house) to the amazing forest that the neighborhood is nestled in, we had a wonderful time at Waukazoo Cottage. The backyard is fenced in, and has a serious grill that we used several times. We appreciated the wifi connection, the air conditioning, and the effort that has been made to decorate everything so nicely. The state park beach is only a few minutes away, and the shores of lake Macatawa are even closer. We enjoyed shopping in Holland and Grand Haven too. Thanks so much for sharing Waukazoo Cottage!
