Nestled on a peaceful, wooded lot along Holland's Lakeshore area, The Gem is perfect for families, friends, couples. 3 BR, 1.5 Bath + Bonus Game Room (w/ pull-out). Sleeps 8. Central A/C + Heat. Spend the day lounging on the private deck & the evening around the fire pit. Fresh updates inside and out are carefully designed to maximize comfort and ease. Whether you're coming for the beaches, the tulips or simply to get away, The Gem has everything you need for a relaxing Lake Michigan retreat!
The Space:
We know how difficult finding the perfect vacation home can be. But look no further; you have found a gem – THE GEM!
The main level has 3 clean, spacious bedrooms: a king bed in the master, a queen in the 2nd bedroom, and two twins in the 3rd - perfect for kids, or easily slide them together. The desk in the 2nd bedroom (plus 400mbps Wi-Fi) is great for working remotely, if you must.
Keep everyone entertained (foosball, darts, board games, TV) downstairs in the BONUS GAME ROOM, where the couch pulls out into a full-size bed to accommodate additional guests. Smart TVs in the living room and game room allow you to log in to all your favorite streaming apps.
The fully-stocked kitchen is great for cooking family meals, or grill out on the BBQ instead! There is plenty of space for everyone to spread out and to gather.
As for location, it's about as good as it gets. Hear the soothing sounds of Lake Michigan as the breeze rustles the leaves of our majestic oak trees. The Gem offers a private retreat that allows you to enjoy the natural surroundings of Western Michigan, while also being just a short drive from all that Holland has to offer (beaches, parks, downtown shops, restaurants etc.)
