About this property

Private 5-Acre Estate | Fishing Pond + Fire Pit

Peaceful privacy will greet you each morning on this 5-acre retreat with a private fishing pond and plenty of natural green space to call your own.

WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING
"We enjoyed our stay in West Olive. The house was spacious for our group of ten. We enjoyed the large kitchen to prepare meals, the grill, and the fire pit. There were plenty of linens and paper products- which we appreciated. We communicated with the host and they responded promptly to our questions. The location was great- about a 10 to 15 minute drive to two different tourist towns and to the beach."

INSIDE
A spacious, open layout creates the perfect environment for everyone to gather. A large family room with a soaring ceiling, large flat screen, and wet bar provides the space everyone needs to gather for time together.

The well-equipped kitchen connects to a roomy dining table with space for 10. Custom live edge counter adds additional seating for up to four more guests. The convenient main floor bedroom has a king bed and ensuite full bath with shower. An additional main floor bedroom with a twin daybed is perfect for couples traveling with small kids or a great spot for an additional family member. Need to catch up on some work while you are away or just need to find a quiet spot to disconnect? The sunny three-season room has privacy and a dedicated workspace.

The upper-level kids' oversized bunk room has two twin-over-full bunks and a gaming area with smart tv and Nintendo switch or kids can bring their own gear. Two additional guest rooms complete this floor - the first room has a queen bed and across the hall a room with 2 twins. A main floor full bath accommodates these bedrooms as well as an additional 1/2 bath for convenience.

You may never want to leave this location with all the options available for fun and relaxation. Try your hand at fishing the private pond stocked with bass and bluegill. Have an epic cookout on one of the two large grills and dine al fresco while enjoying the surrounding wooded privacy. If you decide to venture out there are many nearby attractions worth exploring.

Hemlock Crossing is a local park and features hiking trails and a Nature center. Windsnest Park is less than 10 minutes with 4 acres of land and a sandy beachfront directly on Lake Michigan. Pigeon Creek is a favorite spot for hiking and biking trails and a favorite launch site for boaters and kayakers. Best of all this property sits between both Holland and Grand Haven , favorite destinations for all with endless options for dining, shopping, and entertainment. An extensive bike path system will lead in both directions and along the lakeshore.

*Please note that the wood fireplace is not available for guests to use. This property sits about half way between Holland and Grand Haven. Guests may occasionally notice adjacent farming aroma which generally dissipates with the direction of the wind.

REVIEWS
"This home was beautiful. Beds were very comfortable and clean. There were plenty of dishes to cook with. Many toiletries (shampoo, toilet paper, soap,shampoo) etc. The whole place to include the outside was immaculately clean. Very informative on what to do at arrival and checkout. They also included places to site see. 8 adults stayed there. Plenty of games for a rainy day, or for keeping kids busy. They even have a pickleball court you can set up with plenty of room behind the standing alone garage. Every time i travel this way, i will definitely stay at this place if it's available. It even sits in a quiet private piece of land with a beautiful pond where you can listen to the water fountain. We sat on the patio in the evening. There were enough chairs for everyone. They even provided beach towels if your sunning outside or if you decide to go to the lake. Im not kidding when i say, they have thought of it all. Highly recommend this vacation home."
Betsy V.

"This property and home was beautiful and met all of our needs! The beds slept our group of 10 comfortably and gave us more than enough space for everything we needed. Want to also note that past guests mentioned a smell from local farms that deterred them from enjoying the outside, we did not experience this at all so I would recommend not letting that be a concern when booking this home. Location was also central to local beaches, downtown Holland and Grand Haven! Doordash is not easy to get, so plan on stocking up your meals or being able to run out and grab food when needed. Would absolutely stay here again and look forward to checking out other Unsalted locations in the future!"

"From top to bottom this place was great. Much more space than the photos even show. Easy access"

Great Getaway

We had a group come for a wedding in the area. Very nice property. Loved fishing pond - everyone caught fish until we were tired. Had a nice fire each night. Everything was in great shape and managed well. Would certainly stay there again!

Michigan vacation.

House was very clean and beds were very comfortable. My only disappointment would be not realizing there was no bathroom on third floor, the outdoor smell and water sprinklers coming on at night when we were sitting out at the fire pit which resulted in a couple of us getting wet.

Great property for large families!

Excellent property for a family gathering! Spacious, comfortable with ample seating areas inside and outside. We enjoyed sitting by the firepit and grilling outside. Kitchen was well equipped and beds were comfortable. Outside of the property is well maintained and enjoyable. Grandkids had a great time playing basketball with the balls provided. We also enjoyed the beautiful trails nearby. Thank you for a great time we look forward to returning.

Annual girls trip

Location worked out well. It’s 15-20 min to either downtown Holland or Grand Haven, both easy drive. Nice kitchen and gathering areas both inside and outside. 2.5 baths, all are on the first and lower levels so anyone staying in one of the 3 upstairs bedrooms had to come downstairs, which in the middle of the night can be a concern. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen well equipped.

Family friendly and peaceful

We came from California, Missouri, Illinois and Tennessee to celebrate July Birthdays and Anniversaries. We loved kicking back in the outdoor space after the kiddos were in bed. We enjoyed breakfast at the house finding everything we needed to cook the meal for our group. The house is very spacious so we did not feel on top of each other. It was very clean and comfortable. Everyone slept well. Thanks

Very nice large home with very convenient location to lots of activities. The private pond is great and we caught many fish! It was also great having such a large yard for our kids. One thing to be aware of is that the highway is very close by so you can hear traffic but you can’t usually see them. It didn’t bother us though and overall we would definitely recommend it!

Graduation

One thing we were unhappy about is that there was no bathroom upstairs. Everybody had to go downstairs and use one bathroom for 8 people. You could really tear up a big closet between the two top rooms and make that a Bathroom. Also didn’t realize there would be steps to get to the main level. Only because we had my husband’s 81-year-old grandmother and steps are hard for her. That would have been good to be included in the description. Otherwise, the accommodations look great
