The Perfect Place for Two

My wife and I were in town for a festival in Holland and this place could not have been more perfect. Everything we could need and more was provided by our gracious host. One of the best stays we’ve had in our years of traveling with VRBO.

A bicyclists paradise

My husband and I chose to stay here in order to do some biking in the area. Not only is the home immaculate, comfortable, peaceful, and well stocked, but it's so close to the main bike trails that take you to Holland, Saugatuck, Grand Haven, and Zeeland. There's also three pickleball courts just down the street. We had a wonderful time. Our host was responsive, generous, and helpful. We would love to come back to this particular location for sure! Best place we've stayed.

Beautiful cozy stay

Such a comfy place to stay. The host labeled everything from lights to directions on the shower, heating, and doors etc. Making everything super easy and relaxing. The house had a cozy cabin feel with all the amenities of home. Awesome wifi, water pressure, and lighting. Although we didn't use much of the outside, there's a spacious backyard and lovely patio plus a fire pit. Everything was a 10-15 minute drive away. It's a fairly secluded cute getaway overall.
