We live in the lovely beach town of Holland, Michigan (2.5 hours from Chicago) and our neighborhood is nestled on a sand dune right along the shores of Lake Michigan (often mistaken for an ocean, but with fresh water).
We live in a neighborhood, but our home is also surrounded by trees and have amazing walking/running paths just outside our door, as well as private beach access that we share with our neighbors.
Very family/baby friendly. We have toys, high chairs, bikes, strollers, scooters, beach chairs, sleds, etc.

We absolutely loved staying at Lauren & Aaron’s beautiful home!! The open concept home was warm and inviting and full of light! Lots of living spaces to gather and play games, read, or watch TV. The home is large, beautifully decorated, and extremely clean and we enjoyed every moment. Lauren is very communicative and I feel like we are now friends, although we have not met in person! Holland, MI, and the surrounding towns are full of activities and great places to eat. Loved being so close to the beautiful white sand beach and gorgeous sunsets of Lake Michigan. We highly recommend putting this home on your list!! A+++
Nice Family to have as guests. Good communication.
Larry and Suzanne were wonderful guests and we would gladly exchange with them again any time! Communication was great and they left our home in tip top shape. It was also fun to get to know them personally throughout the entire process. Highly recommend - don't hesitate to welcome them into your home!
We couldn't have had a better stay at Else's wonderful home! The home and location offered such a perfect combination of relaxation and adventure. Else went above and beyond to help make sure we had all of the baby and kid things we would need (even borrowing some things for us). Some of our favorite moments included enjoying a coffee on the deck looking at the beautiful mountain view while our boys played in the yard, walking two minutes to enjoy the beautiful fjord (including a swim and warm up in the floating sauna), and hikes both within walking distance from the home and nearby. A small grocery store and cafe are within walking distance, as well as a local boutique hotel that offers a delicious three course meal nightly. Already dreaming of our next trip back, you won't regret a stay here!
