Check reviews below … folks love this home for its year round beauty and tranquility.

The main level (upper floor) offers an open-concept kitchen and living room. The high-end kitchen features all stainless steel appliances and plenty of counter space. The living room has comfortable seating for the whole family to take in the magnificent views. The sea of windows in the living room brings the trees and lake inside and provides spectacular sunset views! An infinity deck with 180 degree views of the lake is right off the living room and completes this floor nicely with additional seating and a gas grill ideal for an outdoor meal.

Grand Haven is located on the shores of Lake Michigan. We are a quaint, little beach town recently named the "Happiest Seaside Town in America," by Coastal Living Magazine. Here, your family will find Grand Haven State Park, which was voted in the Top 10 Best Beaches in the world by Travel+Leisure Magazine. The boardwalk stretches one and a half miles, beginning at Chinook Pier and ending at the iconic red lighthouse. Historic, affordable, and amusing, the trolley is continually traveling throughout the waterfront and downtown areas dropping you off at any desired location. At the end of the day, grab a blanket to sit on and head to the Waterfront Stadium where the whole family can enjoy the Musical Fountain. This synchronized lights, water, and music show has coined the title "World's Largest." This free show plays nightly at dusk throughout the summer. Lucky for you, all of this is just minutes away and waiting for you to revel in.

Holland is located on the shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa. Here, you can spend your days at Holland State Park where there is plenty of room for family fun along the white, sandy beaches. You and your family can take an excursion to Nelis' Dutch Village, DeKlomp Wooden Shoe Factory, and Veldheer Tulip Gardens. These places will bring you back in time to experience the Netherlands of the 1800's. If you find yourself in Holland the first week of May, be sure to take a look at the over 6 million tulips blooming throughout the city during Tulip Time festival, which was named the "Best Small Town Festival in America" by Reader's Digest Magazine and received USA Today's "2016 Best Flower Festival!" Downtown Holland is known as the "Great American Mainstreet." Make sure to spend a day downtown where an abundance of shopping and dining can be found, as well the funky street performers who will surely entertain you with their acrobatics, magic, music and more! When evening approaches, you can return to the beach to watch the sunset while roasting marshmallows over one of the many fire pits found along the sandy shore. From the award-winning downtown to the exceptional beaches and Dutch heritage, your family will fall in love with Holland's small town charm and big city amenities.

Relaxing stay at the beach
This property lives up to the photos and more! My fiancée and I were lucky to spend a family trip at the MCM cottage. Loved being able to take coffee down to the beach daily and being close to Holland, Grand Haven, and other fun places to explore. Be aware that cell phone coverage is limited, so you can fully enjoy this peaceful place.

Summer vacation
The views are amazing as is the umbrella on the deck. Holland is close enough by to get anything you need. The house is very clean considering it is a beach house. As stated earlier, the steps to the beach are a work out, but 100% worth it. We had a fantastic time! Bill

A Slice of Paradise
This home was even more perfect in person. The living space was welcoming with windows that gave you amazing views of Lake Michigan. We brought our 2 boys (7 & 4) and our dog - it was the perfect amount of space. The steps to the beach only felt daunting after 85 or so - but gosh, that walk was so worth it! The location was equal distances from Grand Haven and Holland, which gave us a nice little adventure when we needed a break from the beach. We would love to stay again in this exact home. Thank you for your hospitality!

Stellar location and views!
Wonderful cottage with a large deck looking out on Lake Michigan, Huge beach and lovely tree-filled setting. Nicely remodeled and adequate for 2-3 people. Nice kitchen with great dishes, glassware, silverware, spices and cookware - also appliances and a little wine fridge. Suggestion: time to replace large sectional.

Fantastic!
We loved everything-the view, the accommodations, the cleanliness, the kitchen (didn’t just have everything, but everything was organized and easy to find), the beach, the neighborhood, and the list could go on. We would definitely stay here again and would love to come back when it’s warm. All of the hard work the owners went to, both inside and out, to create a beautiful property right on Lake Michigan was so appreciated. Thanks for opening up your home for us to enjoy!

This house is as advertised. Very nice. A couple issues; the grill sounded like it was leaking, so didn't use. The other, blinds in the living room weren't operational. The owner left a note about blinds needing to be fixed. Otherwise amazing place. Great view.

West Michigan gem perched above the lake
The road to the house is your first indication that your stay stay will be special. The winding, wooded road that dead ends shortly after this property is awe inspiring. The road end also guarantees a peaceful stay where the waves of Lake Michigan are audile are the only things you’ll hear. The view is as advertised and will not disappoint. If you head down to the beach (absolutely worth it) just be aware that it will be leg day each trip up. The listing clearly states this so it will not be a surprise. Enjoying the view from the deck is just as majestic for those who choose or cannot make the climb. A good local restaurant is only 5 mins away if you opt not to travel into Holland or Grand Haven. There is also a well stocked gas/convenience store only a few more minutes away where you can also grab a fresh made pizza for an easy dinner option. I would say that the house is quite comfortable for a couple or a small family but larger groups might find it a little constrained inside. But plenty of space outside if you bring a larger party.

Breathtaking Views
Clean and well equipped home. Breathtaking views. Be prepared for the 135 plus steps going down to the beach and then back up (take breaks , you will be fine ). Well worth the work out . Electric blinds do not work so we had to use a makeshift window cover mainly for the bathroom. House is very comfortable. We will definitely be back !
