Great weekend getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Perfect for a relaxing weekend and not too far from Saugatuck/Douglas. El stays on the property and is there if you need anything, she’s very responsive. Highly recommend!

Charming Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage near the lake. Our host, El, greeted us upon arrival and answered questions we had of the area. Her home was so inviting and comfortable and had everything we needed. The lake community was very peaceful and quiet. Will book here again if ever in the area again. Thank you for a relaxing weekend.

Great getaway!!

This is just what I ordered. Such a cute and relaxing property. The home owner was an absolute delight and was so helpful in finding points of interest. The property was clean--outside and in. Walked down to public access every morning and evening for great views of the water. Close drive to shopping, wineries, and beach. Great retreat for a relaxing getaway--you will not be disappointed.

Charming Getaway in Fairytale Fennville

Our recent stay at Host El's cottage couldn't have been any sweeter - from our initial communication with her via email/text to getting a tour of the place upon our arrival, every corner was a sign that the property was deeply cared for; original 1940's fixtures in the home with eclectic art, plants, picturesque patio chairs facing the nearby Hutchins Lake and it's subsequent sunsets, plus personal touches all over made what otherwise was a too-fast weekend getaway feel all the more like home. With the property itself being ~10min drive from anything you could want (Crane's Orchard/Restaurant, wineries, beaches, etc.) would recommend El's place over any other for anyone looking to stay in the Holland/Saugatuk-Douglas area.

Comfortable, charming, and unique

I was impressed with Farmhouse the minute I walked inside. Very spacious, attractive, and comfortable rooms, every imaginable amenity, and original art in many different media almost everywhere you look. For 1 or 2 guests, this is a lovely setup. The Fennville location, in viewing distance of Hutchins Lake, was different to me from my usual Saugatuck digs, but in a refreshing way. Nice to see people on waterskis and kids on inflatables pulled by motorboats, some folks taking it slower on pontoon boats, guys fishing, kids splashing in the fresh lake water. Oh, to be that young again.... The drive to Saugatuck was easy as can be, and just 15 minutes. El was a thoughtful and warm host, and we had a lovely chat about her work as an artist and history of the property. This place is definitely on my A list!

Great little cottage on the lake!

The cottage is very cute and a great place for a solo vacation alongside a lake! Everything needed for cooking is available in the kitchen, and plenty of room in the fridge for groceries needed on vacation. I was able to use the kayak available, and it was on a small rolling cart so was easy for me to pull it just down the street to the public launch. A morning kayak on the lake before all the motorboats and jetskis come out was very peaceful and beautiful. I walked across the street to the park (4 benches, a picnic table, and a buoy-ed off swimming area) to sit on a bench and watch the sunset over the lake almost every evening. Gorgeous! I was a little bummed that none of the living room windows could be opened to get lake breezes, but there was an oscillating tower fan for when it got warm or stuffy inside. The kitchen windows and bedroom windows do open for breeze and fresh air. It was very nice to chat with El on some occasions when I was coming back or going out, as she was staying in an ADU at the rear of the property. I also got to meet her indoor/outdoor cat, Kitkat. He is a very handsome and friendly tabby boy. It was very nice to see him around the property occasionally and pet him, as it helped me miss my cat at home a little less. :-) I have come up to this area for several years for a weeklong vacation each summer, and rent a cottage. This was a great little cottage, and being across the street from Hutchins Lake was wonderful.

Comfy Cottage

The rental was an older cottage, but well maintained. All the rooms were small but adequate for two people. Livingroom furniture was antique so not comfortable lounging type furniture. The setting was quiet and beautifully landscaped. Looked like cottage had central heat and air (thermostat on wall), but rental agreement said it was not available for use. Bedroom windows opened with screens which helped to make sleeping comfortable.

Beautiful cottage

This is not my first stay in this beautiful cottage and it will not be my last. Just steps from Hutchins Lake this is a prefect spot for a quiet, relaxing getaway. A short drive from dining, wineries, shopping, antiques and Lake Michigan it is one of the best locations in the area. Eleanor, the owner, is a wonderful person as well as a great source of information about the area. I highly recommend this rental.

Hutchins Lake Farmhouse

Beautiful, peaceful property. The owner, Eleanor, was a joy to meet and very helpful answering questions. This property is convenient to the swim access, with beautiful views of Hutchins Lake. Many wineries and cideries within a few minutes drive as well as antique shops. I highly recommend this property for singles or couples for a very relaxing getaway.

Lovely little escape from the city

El was an amazing host. It was the perfect getaway for the long Labor Day weekend. We were able to enjoy the outdoors since it was a few steps from a cute little public beach spot. We weren't able to make it over to Virtue Cidery which was roughly a 20 minute walk away but will have to next time we're out there. We also had a great time just staying in during a thunderstorm and doing a puzzle.

Being across from the lake and a view from most Windows, is Relaxing. I also liked the old time feel, with nice antique pieces and artwork. The wood burning stove for fall chill in the air nights would be awesome! Thanks again for sharing your home!! We will return.

Charming Anniversary Retreat

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely 1940's farmhouse cottage. It was rustic, cozy, & peaceful. Being located near many west Michigan treasures, it was the ideal getaway for a couple who enjoys the outdoors. My husband & I are thankful to have stayed here.
