We were displaced due to renovations in our home. I stumbled upon this listing and am so glad I did!! Clean, spacious and cozy. A must stay while in Holland.

Just as described.
We loved Holland house. It was clean and perfect for us. Just a short walk to tunnel park and Lake Michigan. Everything was provided to make our stay comfortable. For the pet owners, the fenced in backyard was perfect.


FVR RESPONSE:
Bruce, we're so happy to know that Holland House was perfect for you!  Have close access to Tunnel Park nd the glorious lake Michigan simply can't be beat.  We hope that you come back again.

Perfect location and house for pet lovers.
My husband and I absolutely loved this house. It is obvious there was much love put into decorating and creating a feeling of warmth. It has everything that you would ever need when doing a home rental vacation. We do a lot of travel with short-term home rentals and what's important for us is feeling like we belong in the home. Holland House made us feel like we could stay forever. The fact that it is pet friendly is a bonus because it helps to alleviate the stress of having to leave our dog at home. We will definitely be back.

FVR RESPONSE: 

Thank you for such a wonderful compliment to the homeowners and the care they put in, Lee Ann! We are so happy to know that you could feel at home during your stay (especially being able to bring your dog along), and found the home comfortable enough to not want to leave! We would love to host you again in the future!

NICE LOCATION
Very nice house which is well equipped , close to beaches, downtown, bakeries, and more...A hand railing on the front steps would be helpful as would more lighting in the living room as the days grow darker. Minor issues for a very nice location in western Michigan.

FVR RESPONSE:

Hi Nancy! We appreciate your suggestions regarding the rail and lighting of the home, but are truly happy to know that it did not diminish the quality of your stay experience! We hope we can host you again in the future!

Cute house close to several parks and beaches
The only complaint I have about this house is that the master queen bed mattress needs to be replaced. You basically sink on one side. The outside fenced in yard is perfect for pets. However, you really can't enjoy it because the deck and patio are very dirty. The bedrooms are good size and the living room and dining room are cozy. Kitchen has lots of silverware, but if you are looking for a supply of things like spices, sugars, etc. bring your own. Also half bath really helps the one full bath situation as others can use that to brush teeth while someone else is showering.

Charming Holland House
We just got back from our trip to Holland! We really enjoyed Holland House! So cute and spacious! The deck was peaceful. A perfect spot to watch the squirrels, and enjoy a drink or read. It’s a close drive to the beach, downtown, mini-golf, ice cream and boba tea. We’d definitely go back.

FVR RESPONSE:

Hi Michelle, thank you for painting such a wonderful picture of your experience at Holland House! We are truly delighted to know you enjoyed your stay, found the location ideal, and got to enjoy some time out on the dock relaxing and taking in the nature of the area. We can't wait to have you back!

Girls Get Away Funtime
Our trip to Holland for the tulip festival was a total win-win. Three out of the four had never been to Holland or that area so everything was a new experience. Everything from the house we rented which was a total 10 to seeing the flowers and enjoying various restaurants made the Weeknd a huge success. Holland House was a perfect fit for us; a cute ranch with no stairs, comfortably decorated and centrally located. I will definitely go back as this was my third trip in the last 18 months and I think my friends will probably want to come back to the area too!

FVR RESPONSE
Carol, the Holland Tulip Festival is not to be missed, so we're glad that you were there for it, and that Holland House worked out so well for you all.  We love to have out-of-staters come to our great state, so please do come back and stay with us again.

Blooming Good Times
The four of us thoroughly enjoyed our 3-night stay at the Holland House. Having stayed there in October 2021, we were impressed by the recent upgrades to the front of the house, the landscaping and the kitchen and bathroom remodels! The property was very clean upon our arrival and we also enjoyed the availability of the garage for parking our vehicles. We feel this property is a great value for our vacation dollars. We also like the fact that it is located in a quiet neighborhood, very close to Lake Michigan and Tunnel Park, yet only 15 minutes from downtown Holland and all that has to offer.

FVR RESPONSE
Stanley, thank you for this lovely review.  It's so great when returning guests find new and different things at the property.  Downtown Holland and Tunnel Park right on Lake MI are simply the best.  We hope that you come back for a third stay!

Holland House
Very nice place. Cozy home well equipped. Centrally located near enough to the beach and town. Not exactly a short jaunt to the lake, but it suited our needs well. Great amenities, towels, great shower and tub nice roomy bathroom plus another smaller one. The sofas are not really comfortable, but all in all very good. Great garage

Great Value in Holland, Michigan
What immediately impressed my wife was the cleanliness of the home! This property had everything we expected and more. There was even coffee, as I had forgotten to bring mine. I also appreciated the convenience of being able to park in the garage, and avoid the falling acorns this time of year. The location was great, too, because it is only 10 minutes to Downtown, 4 minutes to Lake Michigan at Tunnel Beach or Holland State Park beach, and only 6 minutes from deBoer's Restaurant and Bakkerij on Douglas Ave. It was also convenient having a fenced in yard for our dog. Hats off to the person responsible for the cleaning! Thank you.


FVR RESPONSE
Stanley, thank you for this great review!  We're glad that you found de Boer's Bakery - it's a gem for certain.  Vacationing with our dogs is the best, so we're glad that we could offer you a fenced in property to keep your pup safe.  We'll pass on your compliments to the cleaner and hope to see you back again.

Great location! Most things were available like home. We appreciated the fact not having to bring linens etc…and washer and dryer. Being able to bring our dogs was great along with the fenced in back yard.

pet-friendly
The home is adorable and very clean. Close to shops and dog parks, if it’s warm you will have to drive your pets. Neighborhood is very safe and beautiful. Only thing is there are no curtains on the windows in the kitchen or big back door, could use some. The only way to get in is the front door, if you use the garage you have to shut the door then go through the house to lock the front door.. not s big deal just a pain. All in all it’s a great place to rent .

FWVR RESPONSE:
We are so happy you had a great time! Thank you for your feedback, we have contacted the owner and they will be adding window treatments in kitchen and big back door. We are sorry to hear about the procedure to lock the front door, we will definitely look into a better solution as all we want is our guests to have a stress free vacation.

This was a perfect house. We loved all the amenities. It was so clean and cute. It was very comfortable. The back yard was beautiful. Everything we wanted to do and see was within 15 minutes. The only down fall was the rain.

Stephanie, if only we could control the weather, right?  We want our guests to be comfortable and happy with our cottages, so we're glad that you were.  We hope to see you again.

We loved the area was very close to everything. House was prefect for us I wished we would of stayed in the summer though so we could use the beaches and parks that were so close.

Just Perfect
We needed a small getaway, and this adorable house in Holland was perfect. A short drive from Tunnel Park (where we climbed to watch the sunset two nights), and a few blocks from Riley Trails Park (where both kiddos loved hiking around), this house was the perfect base for a pseudo-staycation. The large table was perfect for family meals and for spreading out board games and puzzles, we all snuggled on the sofa for reading books and watching Netflix, and the heated floor in the bathroom was a bonus for us all. We'd love to visit again in the summer and take advantage of the nearby hiking and biking trails and proximity to the beach.

FRESHWATER RESPONSE
Meredith, it sounds like you had the perfect getaway.  Tunnel Park is the perfect place to watch the sun set.  We'd love to have you back again this summer!

The home is nicely situated between downtown Holland and the beach. The backyard was perfect for my dog, with ample room to run and totally fenced in.

Freshwater Vacation Rentals Response
Lauren, isn't it great to be able to take your dog with you on vacation?  Holland House is perfect for that with the fenced in yard and also with great places to walk and hike.  It sleeps 6, plus you get the great views of Lake Michigan.  We'd love to work with you again!

Holland house
Perfect for us the house was nice and the area was very quiet. We will make this house a primary choice the next time we visit Holland

Freshwater Vacation Rentals Response
Robert, glad to hear that Holland house was a good choice for your Holland visit.  It's great to be walking distance to Lake Michigan's Holland State Park and Tunnel Park.  Downtown Holland has a lot to offer when you want to get away from the lake for a bit.  We would love to work with you again on your next visit to Holland.

It was the perfect location to the beach and downtown for our girls weekend. The house was extremely clean, super cozy and comfortable, and everything we needed was in the house. I’d definitely recommend this place, and stay here again!

Josh, thanks for the fabulous review!  The fact that you use ABNB a lot, and you found Holland House to be one of the best places you've stayed says everything, and we love it.

Excellent!
We had planned to stay at Harbor Haven in Union Pier, but the property manager informed us less than a week prior that the house was flooded. They quickly found another property for us to stay (Holland House). I am pleased with the customer service and communication! The Holland House was awesome! We would love to stay there again.

FRESHWATER RESPONSE:
Judy, we are so happy that Holland House worked out so well for you.  We appreciate your flexibility when the flooding occurred at Harbor Haven.  It is our #1 priority to make certain that our guests stay is the best possible.  We look forward to working with you again.

Clean, cute & close to everything
We had a great 3 night stay here. The grill, garage, yard, smart tv, washer and dryer were all highly appreciated and utilized. I didn’t have to worry that we were going to disturb anyone with our less than quiet small children. Everything was a short drive away - the kids loved tunnel park, Holland state park, pirates cove mini golf & the dutch village. The weather was disappointing so I was grateful to be near so many other activities that weren’t beach-dependent. As long as you are happy to drive for 10 minutes in every direction, you’ll have a great stay! Thanks again.


FRESHWATER RESPONSE:
Kate, thanks for this great review.  You said it all!  Holland House is a great spot for children.  Tunnel Park and Holland State park are gems, plus there is a lot going on in downtown Holland.  We hope to see you back again soon.
