Great Place

My friends and I loved our relaxing getaway. The house had the perfect table for scrapbooking. We loved how open the kitchen, dining, and living room were, so we could all be together.

Weekend away

The home exceeded our expectations from everything to cleanliness, space, items in the home, location. We needed a place to house all of us including my 94 year old mother so we could get to a wedding at Castle Park. My mother gave it the old thumbs up, which is saying a lot. We all were pleased with the place and hope to return in the future.

Just a long weekend which was so much fun! This house was absolutely beautiful and perfect for us. So very clean and had everything you would need. I would recommend this property to anyone. The owners did several “text” check in’s with us to make sure everything was fine!

Restful week in Holland

We had a very nice time at Poplar cottage. Scott was very easy to communicate with. The property is very clean, well supplied, close to most everything. We chose this property for its handicap features. The home meets VRBO standards for accessibility with wide doors/hallways and has a ramp into home, which was very convenient. Does not have a roll in shower, but we knew that ahead of time. Had to do some juggling to get the wheelchair beside the bed, but this was manageable. It is hard for my parents to travel with the wheelchair and we were thrilled to find this home! Would stay here again without hesitation.

Great Place, family really enjoyed our stay!

The property was easy to find and get to. House was very clean. Only one issue, when we arrived we were told there were 10 beach towels, there were only 9. I do not feel responsible to pay for it. I hope we can get that fixed!

Perfect for family Christmas.

The house is what we expected and then worked out to have features beyond our original needs. The accessibility for my elderly father was just what we needed especially with the 2022 blizzard raging.. Our teenaged sons also played a lot of both air hockey and ping pong. The owner went again beyond and put up Christmas decorations for our time. Thank you so much.

Perfect place for our Girls' Weekend

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The open floor plan was perfect for us 10 ladies. Our only critique was we felt their cleaning staff could give a bit more attention to detail (dusty baseboards and under furniture).

Girl's weekend

The weekend was wonderful. The house was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The location was great. Close to downtown Holland for shopping and restaurants. Half hour away from Saugatuck for great shopping and restaurants. Close to the State Park for a beautiful view of lake Michigan. The owner was quick to respond and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this property.

Our Family loved this place !! It was very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The teenaged boys loved having their own space downstairs especially since they had Fooseball, air hockey and Nintendo for their evening entertainment. Very close to the beach and just about everything!!

Fantastic Family Cottage

Enjoyed this cottage for our first family trip to Lake Michigan. This home worked well for our three generation family ranging from ages 5 to 75! It's very clean and nicely setup. We enjoyed the Ping Pong table, beach chairs, sand toys, and fire ring. The owners are very friendly and quickly responded to our questions. It's very convenient to bike or drive to Holland State Park. They had every pot and appliance you could need but short on seasonings, flour and sugar. So you may need to go to buy some basic items if you plan on cooking. The TVs were new but a little hard to work. In hindsight, I would have brought my small Apple TV box because it would have been easier for the grandparents and teens to stream a show. Overall, everyone had a great time! I highly recommend this home!
