The Barn is wonderful! We had a family wedding in Holland and15 of us stayed here. The house is spacious and at no point did we feel cramped. The deck was a perfect spot for us to catch up and the dinner table was a great place to play games! Wonderful stay!

This was the perfect place for our family vacation! The Barn was very clean and tidy. The check in was super easy. The kitchen was fully equipped and large enough for serving our group. The bedrooms were comfortable. The Barn is located within a very well maintained campground and we were able to use the swimming pool and playground. They even had goats that the children could feed. The deck was perfect for lounging in the late afternoon and evening. Less than a mile to a beautiful beach.

Fantastic for Families

If you are looking for a place that can accommodate a large, multi-generational family gathering, look no further. Our kids and grandkids loved the space, the pool, the hot tub, and the location. We really liked eating on the amazingly long picnic table on the balcony deck, too--and roasting marshmallows at the firepit. Plus, the goats were an endless form of entertainment. There is also so much to do around Holland, MI itself, and this was the perfect home base.

Our experience at “The Barn” was fantastic. The house was clean, organized, and laid out perfectly for a large group. The kids were able to enjoy the pool and the adults spent most evenings on the deck. What a great trip!!

The kitchen was equipped with so much that cooking for ten (and a couple of days for 12) was a real treat! Loved that the table inside was big enough for all of us to eat together-same with the picnic table outside. The air conditioner broke for the upstairs and management had it fixed before the end of the day -- on a weekend! Just wished that we had known that the bunkbed room was so far away from the other bedrooms. The kids were a little too young for that especially with the bathroom so far away. Older kids would LOVE having their alone space. The main bathroom on the first level is wonderful. The shower is huge! Loved that Bowerman's Blueberry farm was only minutes away. Beautiful sunsets and fun goats. Good memories were made!

Beautiful Home

Our experience with booking "The Barn" was excellent. The owners were courteous, kind and very professional to interact with. The Barn was clean and very comfortable to stay in. Owners have thought of and supplied most everything you could want during your visit. Keep in mind that you must be able to climb steps to get to The Barn as the main living space is on the second floor and most bedrooms are on the third floor.

Great for families!

Property was well maintained and very clean. They had everything provided. We have been going on a family vacation for many years, now with the grandkids we were hoping to find a place we could return to which had something for everyone and would be a nice place to stay with comfortable accomodations. This is the place! Will be back next year!

Everything was excellent

Enjoyed our week at the Barn. The property was first class, five star. Rod and Maria were friendly, helpful, and delightful hosts. We stayed at the Barn with our 6 kids and 10 grands. It's hard to find houses that accommodate 18 but the Barn fit the bill. Living area was huge and the outside deck was great. We had a fabulous time.
