About this property
Family Retreat at Village Farmhouse - Near Grand Haven Beach
Central to area beaches, adjacent to Spring Lake's downtown and Social District, and a block from the bike path, this family friendly farmhouse has ample parking and beautiful newly remodeled outdoor gathering space with patio dining, fire table, grill and hot tub. This home is designed for rest and relaxation. Outfitted with classics, from the kitchen equipment to the games, puzzles, books and toys, your family will find plenty of restful and fun activities after your days spent exploring the best the lakeshore has to offer. For a good night's rest, enjoy quality linens and the comfort of Michigan-made Capital mattress in king, queen, twin x2 (the property also includes twin sized high quality sofa sleeper, port-a-cribs and bassinet).
The Village Farmhouse has plenty of onsite free parking, guests are encouraged to turn vehicles around in the back of the property before exiting the driveway. If traveling with a small boat, the driveway has space to park it, but it must be backed into the property as the turnaround space is limited.
The fully equipped kitchen is bright & inviting and stocked with basic staples. Guests are greeted with fresh flowers (summer & fall) and blueberry muffins, fresh Michigan fruit in season and fully stocked coffee/tea bar.
Relax on the reclining ottoman, comfy couch, sectional or love seat or rock a little one on the farmhouse rocker. Stream your favorite shows on the 55" Roku TV in the living area as well as smaller TVs in bedrooms. Enjoy puzzling or games at the large dining or coffee tables or lighted outside patio table. Our puzzle choice is White Mountain brand for their ease of completing in a short time and their nostalgic subjects. If you have to bring your work along, a beautiful Colorado live-edge desk and comfortable big/tall chair as well as WIFI is available. Also, challenge friends and family to a game of basketball, foosball, or over 60 classic 1980's games on our arcade cocktail table.
We are privately managed and will be available to assist with questions or concerns. Upon placing a booking inquiry, our guests will be asked to sign a hot tub, fire table waiver and general use of property waiver. If in agreement with the hot tub rules, keys to unlock the hot tub will be provided. Our general property rules are very typical: no smoking or vaping within the house, no pets, no parties, no loud noise or fireworks. Please respect the Spring Lake Village requirements of quiet hours from 11 pm - 7 am and allowed occupancy of 7 overnight guests. At check in, we will meet you at the property to briefly go over tips and use of the property so that you can fully enjoy your stay without difficulties and also answer any questions you might have. Guests are free to decline this quick visit if desired.

Sherry was a gem to work with! Her home is beautiful, exceptionally clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay, including everything for a day at the beach. I was especially impressed by how many little details were provided.Our stay was much too short, and we only wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy more of Spring Lake and the surrounding area. We would definitely stay here again!
House is even more beautiful than the listing. The host has everything you could need and is very kind making sure you are happy and comfortable with your stay. You can most definitely tell they take pride in their property.

Thank you for your strong and informative review. We would love for you to visit again.
Host was super responsive and attentive to detail. Everything was provided, even beach gear and toys which was a huge help! House provided ample space for our family of five and is in a great central location to everything in Spring Lake as well as an easy trip over the bridge to Grand Haven. Loved everything about our stay & will absolutely be back!

Thank you for your very encouraging review. Would love to have you stay again!
We had a great stay! The house was very clean, nicely updated and decorated, and the kids corner was a big hit with our 11 month old. The beds were very comfortable and the owners were incredibly responsive and helpful when we reached out with questions. The only downside was the traffic noise from the main road. Noise machines are provided which is a thoughtful touch, but as light sleepers it took us a little time to adjust. Overall a wonderful stay and a great option for families.

Thankful your family had a wonderful stay. Grand Haven is a popular beach town in the summer and The Village Farmhouse is definitely in the heart of the Village.
The house was perfect for our family of 6. It had everything we needed. We made use of the basketball hoop, the large back drive/yard, hot tub, laundry, puzzles/games and beach equipment! The kitchen was well equipped and the coffee bar was perfect!
This property is extremely organized, clean, comfortable, and close to many things to keep all ages busy. We felt like we were at home and the property owner ROCKS!!!! Absolutely a must to stay in again!

Jen, Thank you for you encouraging review! We hope to host you again someday.
We stayed for only a weekend to visit Grand Haven and play golf, but this house was perfect - beautiful property, walking distance to a number of fun things to do in Spring Lake, and the hosts were very nice, easy to communicate with and took great care of the home and surrounding property. Every time we go back, we will try to stay here again first.
Our visit to this home was perfect! The house is perfectly situated close to Grand Haven and near shops and restaurants in Spring Lake. The host was so helpful with everything we needed and truly thought of everything a family would need to feel comfortable. Lots of room to spread out, amazing back yard and the hot tub was a huge hit. I would recommend staying here and we will definitely be back!
The house was clean and well-maintained. The breakfast that the hosts provided was very thoughtful. I have never had a rental offer that before. There is a good amount of amenities and everything is easy to find in the home. We especially enjoyed all of the beach items that were available for our use. We would stay here again.
Wonderful, clean, and well managed house. Hosts were fantastic and location was less than 10 minutes away from a lot of waterfront-related activities. Nice additional touches were some breakfast supplies and plenty of kitchen equipment, towels for the hot tub, and supplies for the bathrooms. Hot tub was perfect. Only mild surprise was the busy road out front - traffic noise throughout the day and evening but nothing that deterred us. We would definitely stay again!
Weekend in Grand Haven for American Dunes Golf. Great location to GH Beach and American Dunes Golf. Farm House beautifully updated, inside and out, very comfortable for our family of 7. Wonderful back yard with fire pit and hot tub.
Great Communication with Sherry.
If in Grand Haven area , highly recommend.
This stay was amazing. Everything was easy to use with having things labeled. Hot tub was great. They had everything you needed to make cooking in easy.Great communication. Appreciated the quick responses.
We had a wonderful girls weekend staying in this home. Sherry is very receptive to any questions you might have. The home is beautifully decorated, well-maintained, and lots of wonderful touches that make you feel right at home.
The village farmhouse was a great getaway for my wife and our two friends. Everything about the home was great. Very clean and well decorated through out the house. Sherry was a great host, she meet us there to go over a few things and give us recommendations for where to eat or go for a nice walk to see a sunset. We will definitely be back to stay at her farmhouse.

Thank you for such an encouraging review! I only wish you had better weather for golfing at American Dunes! We enjoyed hosting you. Please come again!!
Sherry from day one was an amazing host! Very attentive and thoughtful and super nice. The house was immaculate and picture perfect. The design of the home was beautiful in every area looked like it was out of a magazine. The beds were clean and comfy like a 5 star hotel, the house was very family friendly with a basketball hoop for my older kids and little play area for my little kids. The hot tub was a nice amenity as well! Not too far from the beach and downtown. I will definitely book again next time we are in Grand Haven!
