Our stay in Holland

The house holds so much character. Landscaping is phenomenal. Beautiful view of the water just across the way. Nice park within easy walking distance. We were in town for a wedding at the Boatwerks. Perfect location for this. The only complaint we had were the upstairs beds were uncomfortable but this could be an easy fix with a mattress topper. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Holland Charmer

This is a beautifully maintained historical home full of character. We were a family of 6, ranging from 13 to 74 and having one bathroom was challenging at times but we knew that ahead of time. This being an older home has about 20 steps to the 2 upstair bedrooms and the steps are short, a little scary for this 68 year old. The home is situated in sort of an industrial area, one of them being Heinz Company (now we know why sometimes we smelled pickles). Kollen Park is just 2 blocks away and had entertainment 3 of the nights in the bandshell. Our morning walks to the bakery and being close to town was a big plus for us.

Quick Getaway

We arrived and got in with no problems. Great location to downtown and in walking distance to Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant and nice park close by! The house was very clean and cute. The upstairs bedrooms were nice size but the curtains could be a little darker. Too much light came in and I like it dark when I sleep. I get the mattress protection but our sheets kept coming untucked and drove me crazy ( haha short trip)! The dining table chairs could use a little padding! The lighting I. The downstairs bedroom could be a bit brighter. You couldn’t see anything. We couldn’t figure the tv out with the CC, we couldn’t turn it off. Other than those few personal issues we had a great time and I would recommend this location for future use.

The home had plenty of space and had everything we needed for a short get away. Keys were easy to locate, the kitchen had all of the gadgets, WiFi was easy to connect to and had great signal. If you have younger kids or prefer darker spaces to sleep, plan to bring something to cover the windows as they are only covered by sheer curtains.

Quaint old house, like staying at grandma's house! Modernized kitchen and bath, very functional. Actually plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 toddlers, though with more and older guests the use of the bathroom could be a challenging schedule. Nice neighborhood, great location next to the large Kollen Park. Easy to drive to restaurants and activities, but Holland is not huge! I would stay again!

My three sisters and I totally enjoyed our stay at your house. We enjoyed the house very much with it antique decorating style. We were quite comfortable.We love being able to walk to the neighborhood parks and the downtown. Also, there is a lot to do in Holland and surrounding areas. We had adventures in Saugatuck, went on a Dune ride. We also went to grand Haven, which was lovely. Being able to have a fire in the fire pit every night was so great for us. We would gladly spend time there again if the chance came up!

Wonderful stay!

Property was clean, well-kept, plenty of space for our family of 5 to spread out. Close to waterfront park and close to downtown Holland as advertised. We rented bikes and explored the town and just loved the central location, close to everything. We enjoyed making breakfast in the house and made use of the firepit in the backyard one night for some smores. The wildflower gardens around the property are gorgeous and the owner has taken a lot of care to update this house and make it a really lovely place to vacation. I would definitely return and stay again next time we go to Holland!

Right amount of space and great location

My three kids each had a bed upstairs, husband and I had the bedroom downstairs and it worked out wonderfully. We were able to walk over to Kollen Park and play, very convenient for driving to anywhere we needed to get to, could walk to DeBoer’s. Beautiful landscaping, I enjoyed sitting on the porch in the mornings with my coffee. Kitchen was stocked, laundry was very convenient and everything went great for our long weekend.

The location was great and the property is beautiful. The beds, especially the main level seriously need to be replaced. It was awful. The stairs are very narrow going upstairs so if there’s any mobility issues, don’t plan on going up there. There are many other mentions of this, but the extremely thin sheers on the upstairs windows need to be replaced with something that blocks even a little bit of the light. There is a factory with bright lights across the street so even when it is dark out you can’t sleep because the sheers basically do nothing. One bedroom upstairs does not get any air conditioning so it was very hot. If the main level bed and curtains get addressed it would be much better. The house had everything else needed, great parking, you could see the water from the one window and you could get to everything easily. We brought our bikes so it was nice to have a backyard to keep them in.

Perfect Location

The Gatehouse was the perfect location and size for my family of 6. It was within walking distance of downtown and the wonderful restaurants of Holland. The check-in process was easy and Dave was great to work with. He answered any questions we had in a timely manner. The house was clean and comfortable, and the antiques added to the charm of the house. The only issue we had with the house was the stairway. The stairs are a little narrow and steep, but after a few trips up and down you got used to them. The doorway at the bottom of the steps was a little short for my six foot five inch boys, but there's nothing you can do about the doorways of these older homes. It was a great place to stay and we would stay there again. Thanks Dave for making our stay very enjoyable.

Needs a facelift

Great communication with David. The place was in a great location. We went our two little girls and we were able to walk to an awesome park. The place is just old and is in need of a deep clean. The instructions asked us to take off our shoes, but the rugs are old and need replaced and our socks were gross by the end of each day. The place has 3 bedrooms and can accommodate a good number of people, but only has a 4 cup coffee maker. (I actually bought one for $15 and left it there.) With a little bit of an investment in freshening up, this could be a great place!

This place allowed us to have great access to downtown, and was not far from the Ottawa Beach. It was in a nice neighborhood, and easily accommodated our large family. There was a lovely restaurant and coffee shop nearby that we were able to walk to, and we loved that. Due to the location alone, we would consider staying her again. We would’ve preferred some more privacy indoors and shade from the evening sun, as the curtains were very see-through or there weren’t any. The bed that we slept on was not AS comfortable as we would have preferred. As a personal preference, the home decor was VERY old - and some updated decor/furniture pieces would’ve made our stay more comfortable. Also, we would’ve preferred not having to leave certain lights on all the time while in the home.
