About this property

Macatawa Lake Side Cottage by State Park and Bike Trails

Welcome to our Macatawa Lake Side dutch clean cottage. It is located in the Holland State Park resort area, where you can enjoy activities such as walking, hiking, running, biking, sunbathing, making sand castles, swimming, boating or renting jet skis. Drive to the park entrance, which is less than a mile away and you can boat watch along the Holland State Park channel and walk the beautiful white sand beach for miles!

Our Macatawa Lake Side Cottage is perfect for 1 family or more. In fact it would be great for a family reunion or any other larger group and if more accommodations were needed you could combine our Macatawa Lake View Cottage which is right next door (#418838) and have everyone together.

Our cottage has 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms, with 2 extra pull out couches for more sleeping possibilities. It has all the amenities to make your stay easy and enjoyable—dishwasher, washer/dryer, and a private back deck/patio area with outstanding views of Lake Macatawa especially from the second floor deck or at the end of the permanent dock. There’s plenty of parking for your guests too, and a 2 stall garage for your car and “extra” items. We supply a few bikes for your use or if you prefer, bike rental is available within a few blocks of the cottage. The kids will have fun digging in the sand or throwing a ball at our 300+ foot private Association beach, located on either side of the cottage. Have campfires and roast marshmallows at the beach and walk right back to your cottage when you’re done.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We (3 friends) stayed here for 5 nights. We all feel that the location was wonderful, it is close to restaurants, the Holland State Park, and to the city of Holland. Grand Rapids, Saugatuck and Grand Haven are all nearby. The actual house was adequate and comfortable. Not fancy. I see previous comments about cleanliness, and we all felt that the house could use a good deep cleaning. The upstairs king bathroom window could not be opened because it lacked a screen. Light bulbs over the vanity in this bathroom flickered. One window in the upstairs king bedroom was missing the screen, and the crank to open and close it didn't work. The other window had a screen, but the crank also didn't work. A request that guests clean toilets, mop floors, wipe down mirrors and vacuum seemed excessive. I do want to stress that we enjoyed our stay here, the view of the lake is wonderful, it is quiet at night. And we loved seeing the gulls, swans, cormorants, and the heron that visited daily.

Wonderful get away on lake

My family had a wonderful time in this home with wonderful lake views. It was winter so we could not use the beach, pier etc. but the view and location were great. The working fireplace was very nice for the winter as was the attached garage.
