About this property

The Gem ✦ Close to Lakeshore Beaches + Game Room

Nestled on a remarkable wooded lot along Holland's peaceful Lakeshore area, this home is perfect for hosting families, friends or couples! Hear the soothing sounds of Lake Michigan as you enjoy all the beautiful updates inside & out. Spend your days lounging on the private deck overlooking the garden & your evenings around the fire pit. Don’t miss the bonus room – the ultimate ''man-cave'' hangout spot or a peaceful place to rest with coffee & great book. Convenient access to many Lakeshore beaches, parks & trails. Whether you’re coming for the tulips, the beaches or simply to get away, The Gem has everything you need for a relaxing and memorable Michigan retreat.


The main level has 3 bedrooms: a king bed in the master, a queen in the 2nd bedroom, and two twins in the 3rd – perfect for kids, or push them together. The desk in the 2nd bedroom (plus 400mbps Wi-Fi) is great for working remotely, if you must. Entertainment awaits (foosball, darts, board games, TV) downstairs in the game room, where the couch pulls out into a full-size bed to accommodate additional guests. Smart TVs in the living room and game room allow you to log in to all your favorite streaming apps.


Look no further - The Gem has something for everyone: soak in the Michigan sunshine beneath our majestic oak tree; take a walk or bike ride down the beautiful paths on Lakeshore Ave; cook dinner in the fully-equipped kitchen or outside on the BBQ; listen to records on the couch and recover so you can do it all again the next day!

A great house for families!

Our stay at The Gem was great! We have stayed at a lot of VRBO’s on vacations, and this house had everything a family needed for a home away from homes. It was very roomy for our large family of 7.

Great Trip

House and location were outstanding. Our only problem was we had to leave a day early! Kids enjoyed the yard and game room. We all enjoyed the quiet and beautiful community. Easy drive to anything we wanted to do.

Perfect place for a family

Our few of our grown kids stayed at The Gem along with a baby and a couple teens. They were in town for a family function. The place suited everyone’s needs and they had lots of space to relax. They enjoyed the games in the cupboards and the interesting books that were around. It was so close to the lake that four of them went in for a quick swim (Brr) and made new memories. Thanks again! We highly recommend The Gem!

Great location in a beautiful neighborhood and near beaches!

We stayed here so we could spend quality time with our granddaughters and daughter, who live in Grand Rapids. The house was perfect for us, and they had lots of games, basketball’s, and hoop to play with! We all had a fabulous time!!!
