Quaint downtown area with wide sidewalks and ample greenspaces making an afternoon spent visiting the wonderful local shops a must. Near both Hope college, Centennial Park and very near Kollen Park at the tip of Lake Macatawa. Famous for the Tulip Festival in early May and outstanding "traditional" parades on Memorial Day, Labor Day and 4th of July, Holland is a hidden gem in West Michigan.

A true artist's community set on the banks of the Kalamazoo River feeding Lake Michigan, Saugatuck has more to offer than can be described in this listing. The best "foodie" scene in West Michigan, original local artistry, a vibrant music and theater atmosphere and a first class marina are some of the highlights. only 45 minutes from the cottage along US-31, Saugatuck is well worth the drive. If you make the trip, plan to make a full day of it. You will not want to leave.

Pronto Pups is a MUST for new visitors to the Grand Haven area. They do one thing (corn dogs), and they do it very well. There is a line for this local delight all summer long.

Anna's House decor takes you back to the days of the 50's diner, but their menu is decidedly modern. Perennially voted the best breakfast in Michigan, if you are looking for gourmet breakfast, this is the place. There is a new location in downtown Grand Haven which is closer to the cottage than the US-31 location mentioned here. https://annashouseus.com/

Situated along the canal between Lake Macatawa and Lake Michigan, this is the largest beach in the area. It is a State park, so a permit is required. If you are looking for the "beach scene", this is it.
