Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope to see you again next year for the holidays! Laurie and Vic
Flawless experience for our get away, the house was as advertised and very clean and well organized. The host provided all the information we needed and communicated well. We would highly recommend a stay, and would book again with Laurie without hesitation. Truly a 10 out of 10 experience.

Thank you so much for the great review and kind words! Laurie and Vic
We loved the old farmhouse and all the history of it. Old farmhouse charm with all the modern amenities. We would hands down recommend to someone heading to Holland for a getaway. Wish we would have had more time to explore the area.

We welcome you back anytime. Thank you! Laurie and Vic
Loved this cottage and it was a perfect fit for my family and my parents to stay at for a family reunion. Location was ideal and so close to the beach! Spent a lot of time on the front deck in the mornings, saw deer and lots of songbirds.

There is an abundance of nature to see at the Farmhouse Cottage. Thank you for visiting. Laurie and Vic
Our stay was great, the farmhouse cottage was perfect for us, we loved our proximity to everything. The house was clean and cozy and we enjoyed a fire in the firepit 2 of our 4 nights there. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage with us.
This home worked well for our girls trip with 6 of us as it had plenty of room for us. The home was clean and comfortable. It was well equipped for families and large groups. The owners were very responsive and the check-in / check-out process was easy. The neighborhood was quiet and everything we wanted to do was within a 20 minute drive from the house.

It was a pleasure to host your group. Thank you. Laurie and Vic
This house was great for our stay in Holland to attend a function at Hope College. It had everything we needed for a nice weekend. Would stay here again.
Quiet and convenient location for exploring Holland and the Ottawa Beach area. Bring your bike or walking shoes to explore the area as you can go for 10's of miles right out of the driveway. A fantastic restaurant, The Reservoir, is within walking distance and we visited several times.

Yes, lots of trails to bike and hike! Thank you. Laurie and Vic
Excellent house for a great weekend at the beach. Close in proximity to Holland Beach State Park, highly recommend biking to the park vs. driving, the line to get into the park can get quiet long, esp on the weekends. The backyard is stocked and is nice, the only thing is that the house is on a corner, and one of the streets has a speed limit of 55 MPH and there is no fence.

Thank you, Ashlee. We’re so glad you had a great, quiet weekend at our Cottage! Laurie and Vic
A comfortable and clean house with plenty of room for our family of seven. We cooked most of our meals, and the kitchen was adequately equipped for that purpose. The close proximity to fresh local produce made for delicious meals. The area offered so many fun opportunities that in five days we couldn’t do them all. I guess we will need to come back!

We hope you do come back! Thank you. Laurie and Vic
We participated in Bike MS ride and came a few days early to enjoy the area. House is a short walk to a small beach. A longer walk (we took car with little kids) to Holland St park, Tunnel park, and hiking. Yard was great foe playing with kids.
Good location, pleasant walk to the beach. Appreciated the games at the house. Planned on using the bikes but never did. Kitchen well stocked with dishes and utensils.
This house had so many amenities. It was well stocked and cozy. Perfect for our family weekend!
