“Our stay was absolutely wonderful from check in to check out! The home is completely stocked from kitchen necessities, to comfy bedding and towels! Hot tub is an absolutely perfect bonus to this stay. Truly a home away from home… Overall this has been one the best AirBnB experiences and I highly recommend staying here to anyone!”
“The women of our bridal party stayed here for our wedding weekend and it was the perfect space… It’s super easy to walk to various parks, downtown Holland, and Hope’s campus. The home is tucked away from the busy streets in a quiet neighborhood… I wish I could live here!”
“Fantastic spot! One of, if not the cleanest places we’ve ever stayed. Brought our two kids and they loved the bunk beds… Walkable to downtown for restaurants, but also a very private location.”
“This property was perfect! It’s right near downtown, which was very convenient since the property came with bikes! The fire pit and hot tub in the backyard was just the cherry on top… 20/10 you must stay here if you’re coming to Holland!”
“His place is so cute and cozy. We felt right at home and very safe, the hot tub was amazing… We also LOVED the king sized bed and mattress was amazing! … We are planning to stay again in the future when we return with the rest of the family!”
“The kitchen was well stocked, had every appliance and utensil you might need… Truly a place where we didn’t need anything but clothes and food! … There are some great bikes in the garage, and it’s a quick walk or ride to downtown Holland.”
