Lovely cottage, great neighborhood - lacking upkeep
Lovely cottage, owners were easy and kind to work with. Access to the cottage required walking past barking dogs that charge a low fence - worth noting for anyone who may need to know this prior to arrival. While the cottage is *quaint*, it is in need of significant maintenance - namely the bathrooms. The upstairs toilet flooded multiple times even with very careful, thoughtful use (minimal thin paper, etc). We had to lay towels down just as a precaution. There was no hot water in downstairs bath without rummaging for a valve to initiate the hot water faucet. We also had to deal with some pesky gnats upon arrival and the full duration of the stay. They greeted us upon arrival in the kitchen and never left. I can’t stress enough how lovely the owner was to work. Hopefully some updates happen soon - we would absolutely book again after that takes place!

Vintage vibes
This cabin is OLD. But in the best way. It has original detail, with some modern amenities. While I personally thought it was charming, I could see how others might not. Aesthetically, the owner has excellent taste and everything worked together. But there were areas that could use some maintenance/updates. We personally struggled with the door handles and locks, as they were all original and clearly very old. The location was quaint and peaceful, and an easy walk to the beach (for my able bodied family).

Beach cottage
We loved the location of this cottage. It was perfect for our family, with enough space for everyone. S’mores treats left for us were wonderful. We enjoyed our stay.

Family Vacation
This is a great cottage for large families with ample room to spread out. However, as soon as we walked in the door (after struggling to enter because the door was locked with no key instructions) there was an overwhelming mold smell. There are also 3 out of 5 bedrooms with no blinds or curtains which was a little uncomfortable for changing as you lock eyes with people on the deck next door. There is a large fenced area on both sides of the house which was nice but in desperate need of some weeding and cleaning. I’m pretty sure there was poison ivy growing around the house. Nice fire pit area and new grill. The kitchen had lots of serving pieces and drinkware, but no potholders, dishrags or dish towels so no way to bake or keep things clean without purchasing your own supplies. The cottage had some plumbing issues and the host was very responsive and got someone out right away to take care of it. Overall this cottage was a nice size for large family gatherings but is in desperate need of some TLC

The good, the bad, and the ugly
The good: very lovely view into the hollow behind the cottage. Five-minute walk to the City Beach. Trails through the woods right behind the cottage. Five bedrooms. Decent beds, lots of beach toys and kitchen supplies. Dog-friendly cottage and neighborhood. Air conditioning. Nice fire pit. Washer and dryer and laundry soap provided. Dishwasher. Materials for s’mores kindly provided by owner. Lots of DVD’s.
The bad: Pricey rental. Only two parking spaces though the cottage sleeps 13. Slow toilet upstairs. Dark living room at night—one feeble ceiling light and one low-watt floor lamp for a very large room. No good outdoor eating area—just grungy picnic tables in the undergrowth in the yard. Upstairs deck is full of sticks and leaves, railing looks rotten in places and has large gaps (I wouldn’t let kids up there) Shaky deck furniture. A lot of chipped/peeling paint.
The ugly: can’t close the front door very well, only the screen. Doorknob falls off. A ceiling light fixture fell out of the ceiling while we were there and was hanging by the wiring; we contacted the owner, send a photo, and he said he’d better get someone out to fix it—but no one ever showed up.
You might be on your own if there are problems at the place, which is a concern when you’re paying around $4700 a week.

Wonderful cottage - great location
This cottage was perfect for our family … roomy enough but also cozy. So easy to walk to the beach, the pier and downtown (& Musical Fountain). They provided all the things we might need, including beach chairs and blankets. We would stay again !

Nice family stay
We had a nice stay. The house was adequate for our needs and was wonderfully close (3 minutes) to beach. We liked the nature trail near the house and also was pleased with everything the house provided. We are concerned with potential mold around kitchen faucet and wooden counter tops. Front door lock needs to be replaced. We couldn’t lock door from outside house, only from inside, lock and key are old and key could have broken in lock so we just left house unlocked, which is how we found it upon arrival. It would be helpful to have written instructions about house rules provided upon arrival and a good phone number for property management. We noticed ants in kitchen, not bad but present. Blinds are needed upstairs for privacy. Amenities provided were great, as was dvds, games, beach stuff, Netflix, firewood and fire pit and s’mores!! If you address the concerns, you will bring in more business 😀

Needs improvement
Oven did not work
Upstairs bathroom sink very slow to drain. That is a real problem when 7 of our guest stayed upstairs. Master bed old and lumpy. Window sills filthy , like never cleaned. Found some happy spiders living upstairs. These things made for a very uncomfortable stay. If you choose this home I would be sure to address these concerns with the owner. I did on the first day and he said he would get his maintenance guy out. That NEVER happen.

Sweet Beach Cottage
We had a great week at Cory’s property and were all very happy with our stay! A quick walk to the beach every day and this home is stocked with everything you could want for the perfect beach day. We stayed here with a total of 9 people in the house (4 kids) and loved that we had all the space we needed and more! My only wish is that we had more parking so our other family could come over and visit during our stay and enjoy a fire outside with us. This place was a total gem.

Heaven in Grand Haven
We’ve been coming to Grand Haven for 60 years and it is one of our favorite spots in the world. The location is great. Walk to the beach or walk the Mulligan Hollow trail to town! We loved everything about the town. Great shops and restaurants, and lots of ice cream stores! The house is charming. Comfortable and clean. Beds were very comfortable. Perfect sleeping weather. The central air did not work real well but we really did not really need it because the weather was ideal!

A Memorable Trip
We had a great time with 8 friends and family staying at the home. It was awesome to have easy access to the beach on foot in under 5 minutes and Grand Haven is a great place for summer activities. We also enjoyed the nearby access to footpaths through the dunes.

Cory has a beautiful cottage and wonderful neighborhood that dates back about 130 yrs ago. You definitely feeling like your camping and getting close to nature in this cool historic area by the beautiful beach of Grand Haven. The house was equipped with toys, movies, beach supplies! Kids had blast and wanted to stay longer. Can’t wait to return again soon. Thank you.

Slice of Malibu in Michigan
Our week at this property in Grand Haven was absolute perfection. I mean this sincerely, if you’re from out of state you would think you’re staying near the ocean. The house was great with five comfortable bedrooms. The beautiful beach is a short walk away. Cabin backs up to awesome wooded trails in Mulligan’s Hollow. Our teens had free roam of the beach and downtown Grand Haven ... we’d all meet back up at the cottage for dinner and sunset viewing down the street. Cory was terrific and easy to work with. Such a great week!!! Highly, highly recommend!

Great Place/Stay
Our family and friends enjoyed our stay here. It was a short walk to the beach, the neighbors were very friendly, and the neighborhood was safe. The only thing I did not expect was for there to be no A/C downstairs. I may have not seen that in the details. However, the fans kept the temperature tolerable even during the day. We could not get tv/cable to work in some rooms (some directions would have been nice), but Netflix/Hulu worked fine. Hot water heater went out one morning, but Cory (owner) was very responsive and had it replaced with a new one by the time we got back from the beach that evening. Not being able to park a third car was a concern, but we parked one in a residential area near the hospital each night and at the city beach parking lot during the day. A little inconvenient, but no real issues there. Overall, we enjoyed this place very much.

I am a father of 2 boys (ages 14 and 146 who are my life! We love being at the cottage and doing all there is to do in this very special spot!
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
My mother's family is from Grand Haven, and I have been summering here my whole life. I wanted to be out at the beach, but also wanted to be near enough to the pier to walk everywhere. Our home sits right on the edge of Mulligan's Hollow for hiking, trail-riding, dog-walking and wildlife adventuring! We are so close to the beach that you can come up and down all day for supplies, naps, snacks, tantrums without giving up your whole day at the beach.
この宿泊施設の特徴
My hammock is my favorite afternoon spot when the boys go down for their nap after a day at the beach. Walking the beach early morning and at sunset is heavenly. The Musical Fountain is as charming and gratifying as it is hokey. Who cares if it is silly? You're eating Dairy Treat on a hillside over the river with a 1000 others who have completely forgotten last week's rat-race and are embracing a wonderful summer ritual in Grand Haven. This is not to be missed!
