Our host, Norm, was absolutely great to us throughout our stay. He was friendly, welcoming, and very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and overall amazing. Everything was exactly as described, and we were impressed with how well-maintained the space was. The location was perfect, with a very short and easy walk to the beach, which made our trip even better. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay or a more attentive host. Everything was perfect, and we would definitely love to come back again.

Perfect little spot!

An ideal location that had lots of sweet touches! The space is very inviting and offered a kind notebook with local places to visit & shop! The beach access is close-by (approx. 2 blocks) and there's a walking trail right outside the front door! Host was easy to contact with any questions, too!

Beach Cottage Getaway

Visiting Holland, Grand Haven and Saugatuck over the Fourth of July Holiday week with my mom for a mother&daughter getaway and we couldn’t have asked for a better place or location! The cottage is clean and cozy with everything you need. The beaches, restaurants and grocery all nearby. We went to the beach everyday and had a lovely time. I highly recommend staying at Norm & Anna’s cottage! Very nice people!

Adorable cottage

Perfect location, had all the amenities that i needed. Owner always ask first before coming over to manage the property. They also made sure i had everything that i needed. Neighbors were friendly and quiet. Beach and lake were within a short walking distance. If you like to ride bikes this is a great location for it. The property also has a nice patio to relax and enjoy a drink or do some grilling. Highly recommend staying here.

Welcome to Holland!

My two daughters and I traveled here from Atlanta, GA for Tulip Time and my, our week here exemplified “vacation” for us. A slower pace, many kind folks we met along the way and of course this cozy place to call “home.” Visiting here has been a dream of mine since being introduced to an essay entitled “Welcome to Holland” when my youngest, born w/ Down syndrome, was an infant. We’d said our next trip would be to the Netherlands but honestly, not sure that’s necessary given the great time we had here in west MI.

A Lovely Little Secluded Michigan Home

A lovely little home in a beautiful location, conveniently secluded but near Holland and other desirable locations to visit. The house was a great size for our family and came with everything we needed for the length of our stay. The backyard was also a good size to play with my two-year-old. The binder in the house accurately mentions that it is not child proof but we were able to make the modifications we needed. The property manager Norm was very responsive and helped us when we arrived and we had trouble getting the key. Later after a storm knocked out power for a couple days he lent us coolers to help keep keep the food we had bought from thawing and going bad. We really enjoyed our stay at the house and being able to use it for our many adventures around this part of Michigan.

Second time was just as Great

This is the second time we have stayed at this property. It is great. The location is great. It is close enough to ride bike everywhere, but far enough that it's peaceful and quiet. The house is fully stocked with everything you would need. With Covid, we brought a lot of our own things, not knowing how things would be. The house didn't disappoint. Everything was VERY clean. Norm & Anne are wonderful to work with. Clean up at this property is also very easy, as it's already super clean from the start. Bring your bikes- they have a small shed out back that will hold a few of them. The house is on the Bike Path and you can easily ride to a few beaches or just enjoy the area. It's around the corner from Riley Park- this is a beautiful park that you can mountain bike in or hike. The last couple times we've stayed in Holland, we've also stopped at Bowerman Blueberries- it's around the corner as well and has amazing pies. We plan on making this a yearly retreat for some R&R.

Cottage Near the Beach

We had a lovely 5 week stay in Norm and Anna’s cottage! They anticipated our every need with every kitchen supply, shelves of books, and consistently reliable internet. They have anticipated many questions and provide answers in a handy binder, but any time we had a question Norm responded to us within minutes. Bike path out front, county parks very near by, and beautiful Lake Michigan within walking distance! This cottage was a treasure for us.

About the host

Hosted by Norm Donkersloot

Host profile image
We are two transplants to West Michigan who loved it enough to stay for 30 years. A year ago we found a cottage needing a lot of work. We enjoyed the remodeling and the vacation business so much that we bought a second place. Our day jobs are in elementary and graduate education.

Why they chose this property

We both like to bike and we spotted the cottage on a road and trail where we often ride. There is a bike path in the front yard. The cottage is located near the water on a tree lined road.

What makes this property unique

Large deck and backyard. Outdoor furniture for the deck, gas grill and picnic table with umbrella. There is a shed available for bike storage.
