best cabin on the hill

We had a most wonderful week in Grand Haven. The house had everything we needed. The beds were comfy.The beach is a short walk down the hill; and the town is right around the bend. We were a tad bit worried when we found out there was no AC, but we did not need it because of constant breeze. The house is up on the top of the hill, so you will be getting lots of steps in!

Lovely home, Close to downtown and walking distance to the beach

We love the location of Honore's home and this time of year (April) we had a great view of the lake. The home is very clean and offers all the amenities to make our stay comfortable. I would highly recommend this home.

Gals Grand Getaway

This was a PERFECT place for our gals weekend. The 5 of us have stayed at hotels in past years and all agreed renting a house is the way to go, we''ll be back! The house is well equipped, the sunsets were fabulous, the 3 baths were a bonus...just a great place to stay. Close to downtown for shopping and restaurants.

Beautiful Grand Haven!

Lovely cottage, tucked up in the dunes, and close to everything and everyplace you might want to go. My family has been coming to Grand Haven since my mother was a child..95 years...and we know the area well. The Virginia Cottage was perfect, and we loved the beautiful art throughout the house. We had a wonderful three days in May.

Tranquil Getaway

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. A fully apportioned kitchen and thoughtfully decorated living space highlighted this beautiful rental. And that’s saying a lot because the location is second to none! Only a few steps down to the beach or a quick walk in to town or any of the stunning wooded areas that surround this property make for easy access to all that Grand Haven has to offer.

The cottage was very comfortable and accommodating. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and yard with.

Great location. We walked to town for breakfast and two dinners. Each one way trip was about a half hour. The kite festival was at the beach which was an easy walk as well. Best breakfast was at the Morning Star Cafe.

perfectly furnished.

The cottage is beautifully situated on a quiet wooded sand dune lot with a filtered view of Lake Michigan. Its three bedrooms and three baths fit our needs perfectly. The kitchen is fully stocked and the living area comfortable. We enjoyed the porches and fire pit at night. My forty-something daughters and my husband and I hope to return.

Great Vacation Cottage

Very nice cottage. It's newly remodeled, very clean with modern appliances. Within walking distance to downtown and even closer to the beach. (lots of steps though) The cottage is fully equipped with all of the comforts of home. Even wifi! Great communication received from the owner as well.

Wonderful Place to Stay

While the weather did not cooperate for our weekend get away to Grand Haven, our stay at this property was wonderful. It had everything we needed. It was great to have a washer and dryer for our wet clothes. We were able to watch the waves on Lake Michigan from the windows on the main floor and in the master bedroom. Most of our time was spent playing board games at the large dining room table or reading on the comfy sectional. My daughters and my wife said they definitely want to come back and stay here again.

Cottage on the dune

Honore’s home was beautifully decorated and full of pleasing art work. The home was well equipped and the kitchen was well stocked with everything needed for food preparation and storage. The master bedroom is large and comfortable. The three bathrooms were a big plus. You can hear the sound of the lake especially at night. Our favorite thing about the house was the location which is on top of a dune surrounded by trees with partial views of the lake through the other cottages. We spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying the scenery and the breeze. Although there is no air conditioning, we were comfortable due to the many windows, ceiling fans in every room, and breeze off of the lake. We really enjoyed being more connected to the outdoors with the windows open. Honore is an accessible, responsive, and kind host. We felt right at home.

Relaxation in Grand Haven, MI

This was a beautiful home, located among trees, close to the beach. The space was clean and comfortable, there was a nice breeze from the lake, and we saw deer and squirrels in the tree area. The owner couldn't have been nicer or easier to deal with.

Great spot for a lake trip

Overall, great spot for a lake trip! Pros - Honore was very responsive with communicating on specifics with the property and area, and met us upon arrival to walk through the house and gave some recommendations. Home was well appointed, and beautifully decorated. Had tons of extras provided (grill, fire pit, cooking utensils, beach items). Pretty quiet / private area and street for being so close to the beach and a short drive / bike / walk to “town”. Beautiful views, especially from master bedroom balcony. Overall, too many to list! Improvements - To be fair, she recently moved back in the home full time, which changed the home layout some, which wasn’t a huge deal but would have been nice to have known sooner. Also, her home has a lot of artwork in it, which was beautiful, but was somewhat nerve racking with 2 small children. Home seemed to be on a bigger hill than expected, so we had to drive my mom down to the parking lot daily, but I probably just didn’t read the reviews / property info enough. Overall, would still highly recommend, just want to be fair with the pros and cons!

Relaxing Getaway!

This was our second time staying at Virginia Cottage and we loved every minute. The cottage is clean and spacious with many amenities. We loved being able to walk right to the beach, bike into town, and stroll around the neighborhood. The neighbors are friendly and Honore is great to rent from. We will definitely return with our family again!

Everything you need!

This was a wonderful place for our family of four to stay for two weeks. It has pretty much everything you need -- from giant floats and sand toys, to an ice cream maker, outdoor shower and everything in between. The house was extremely clean and organized -- and plenty of necessities like extra sheets/towels. The house feels like it belongs to an actual person -- things like handmade beautiful quilts, art on every wall, cozy furniture, board games and places to hang out outside. In the midst of summer it does get a bit toasty in there (no ac) but the lake is a quick walk down the hill and it did seem to cool down at night so we survived! This was one of the best places we've rented, ever. The host and her family are amazing - gracious and kind and easily available to offer ideas for good bike rides or bringing us more firewood for the outdoor fire pit. We feel thankful that we found them/this house and hope to go back!

Great House With a Great Location On The Dune

This is my second time renting this house and have to say this is a great place to stay in Grand Haven. It has a great open floorplan for gathering and relaxing after the days’ activities. It is very comfortable and includes all the needed amenities. Its scenic location is at the top of a dune and just a quick walk down steps to the beach and just a couple of miles from downtown Grand Haven. Honore, the owner is very responsive and great to work with. In Grand Haven this is the place I will always rent.
