Photos and Description of the Grand Haven vacation cottage rental
Cottage, 5 Bedrooms, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 9-10)

SUMMARY:

Our Cottage is available for rent year round in Grand Haven, Michigan. Walk to the beach, the pier, downtown, Mulligan's Hollow, Duncan Woods, the YMCA-- everything you love about Grand Haven is just steps away! You cannot believe how cute this home is inside and out! Families have been summering in this cottage for over a century! Just $1,000-3250/week for one of the cutest beach area cottages in all of Grand Haven!

THE LOCATION:

While we are right near the beach, you can still walk everywhere in town within 20 minutes! Park your car and forget about it. The Cottage sits on the bluff just above the City of Grand Haven Beach and the Grand Haven State Park! Peterson Ridge is a small path on the plateau between Edward Ave and the bluff over the beach. There are NO cars on Peterson Ridge, so it is very private and kid-friendly. Our cottage backs to the Woods of Mulligan's Hollow with miles of trails separating the beachfront cottages from downtown Grand Haven! The woods keep the cottage cool on even the warmest days!

OUTSIDE THE HOME:

De-beach on the front porch with many hooks for toys, suits, towels and flip-flops. The 2nd floor deck has great sun from mid-morning-mid afternoon plus a small view of Lake Michigan! There is a very, nice gas grill outside off the kitchen. There is a fantastic nap hammock overlooking Mulligan's Hollow behind the cottage.

INSIDE THE COTTAGE:

The first floor has a large porch, living room, fireplace, dining room and adorable kitchen with nice, clean appliances. There are 2 sofas, a chair and a recliner in the living room around the fireplace and tv. The dining table is set for 6, but can accommodate 10 with 2 leaves. There are dozens of board games, puzzles, books, toys, beach towels, beach toys, beach chairs, to enjoy. Each bedroom has windows on 2 walls for great evening cross-breezes and the sound of waves!

THE ROOMS:

Bedroom #1 on the 2nd floor has a Queen bed, closet and dresser overlooking the 2nd floor deck.

Bedroom #2 on the 2nd floor has a Queen bed and closet overlooking Mulligan's Hollow.

Bedroom #3 on the 2nd floor has a full-size bed, a twin bed, a closet and dresser overlooking 2nd floor porch.

Bedroom #4 on the 2nd floor has 2 twin beds, a closet overlooking Mulligan's Hollow.

Bedroom #5 on the 1st floor has a crib, a pack n play, an inflatable double bed, a changing table and stocked toy chests overlooking Mulligan's Hollow.

About Cory Robertson

I am a father of 2 boys (ages 4 and 6) who are my life! We love being at the cottage and doing all there is to do in this very special spot!

Cory Robertson purchased this cottage in 2006
Why Cory Robertson chose Grand Haven

My mother's family is from Grand Haven, and I have been summering here my whole life. I wanted to be out at the beach, but also wanted to be near enough to the pier to walk everywhere. Our home sits right on the edge of Mulligan's Hollow for hiking, trail-riding, dog-walking and wildlife adventuring! We are so close to the beach that you can come up and down all day for supplies, naps, snacks, tantrums without giving up your whole day at the beach.

What makes this cottage unique

My hammock is my favorite afternoon spot when the boys go down for their nap after a day at the beach.

Walking the beach early morning and at sunset is heavenly.

The Musical Fountain is as charming and gratifying as it is hokey. Who cares if it is silly? You're eating Dairy Treat on a hillside over the river with a 1000 others who have completely forgotten last week's rat-race and are embracing a wonderful summer ritual in Grand Haven. This is not to be missed!

Great Cottage Near Grand Haven Beach!

5 of 5
Submitted: October 17, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
This is a wonderful cottage in Grand Haven. It was clean and roomy and has been tastefully restored. The beach is a short walk away and there is a path through wooded dunes right in the back yard, which our two dogs loved. It is also a short drive away from the Grand Haven shops and restaurants.The owner was very courteous and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely come back and would definitely recommend to others.

Incredibly charming beach cottage and phenomenal owner!

4 of 5
Submitted: July 16, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
From the moment we began discussions with Cory, he was exceptionally accomodating, responsive and professional. He did everything to ensure our comfort during our visit. The cottage is truly a cottage in that it does not have air conditioning, a washer and dryer nor a fully equipped kitchen (bring your own baking/serving dishes, bread knife, steak knives, etc.), however, it provides a true beach house experience for those who are looking for a charming and convenient experience that is tolerant of lots of sand, fun, and camp fires! The town of Grand Haven along with quaint restaurants, shops and the farmers market are all within walking/biking distance, but groceries and the laundromat are a car-ride away. The neighbors on Peterson Ridge were all exceptionally warm and welcoming.
