Little Stuga is adorable! The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook, just bring your food. There are plenty of outdoor spaces to relax. We especially loved the screened in porch and the reclining porch chairs! The location is perfect! Very secluded and quiet, yet only a few minutes drive to restaurants and attractions. Go to Noble Twist Taphouse for pizza and The Farmhouse Deli & Pantry for lunch (the most delicious wraps and salads). Our trip was perfect! We would love to come back and stay at Little Stuga.

This cottage was like a warm hug. It is set back in the trees and a quiet setting, yet close to town. Furnishings were comfortable and kitchen had what we needed. The screened in porch was the best place to have breakfast or hang out in the evening. Perfect for one or two couples.

The Little Stuga cottage was perfect. It was extremely comfortable for 4 adults. The cottage was clearly decorated with love both indoor and out. We found the landscaping impressive and very clean. So may places to sit and watch the deer go by. The outdoor shower is hot and cold and exceptional. Aside from being an exceptional place to stay, the location was with in 10 minutes of everything. We've stayed in many home rentals across the world but this may be our favorite.

Little Stuga was a cute little cottage tucked away from the main road but literally 5 minutes away from anywhere i wanted to go. It was quiet, clean and comfortable and the host had lots of thoughtful touches - beach chairs, filtered water in the fridge, dozens of games and puzzles and a ton of indoor and outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy. It was exactly as pictured and i had a great stay - 10/10!

Little Stuga is a heavenly place to stay. It’s secluded, quiet and yet close to Holland; especially good for the annual tulip festival. The cottage is clean, and comfortable. It’s very cute; you’ll love it. We plan on another stay this fall.
