Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Previous Guests: “The Stay n Play at Holland was the perfect place for our last minute weekend in Michigan! It was an extremely ideal location right between Holland and Saugatuck with super easy access to everything. It was a little bit off the beaten path, which was exactly what we were looking for. The house is absolutely beautiful with a modern farmhouse vibe, from the character of the hardwood floors to the beautiful tiles to the comfort of the furnishings. The decor was spot on, and I could tell a lot of thought was put into making this feel like a home away from home. There was ample space and room for our extended family to spread out and enjoy the space. The personal touch of the fresh flowers and local bakery item was super welcoming and thoughtful! Katie and Matt have done a great job with this property, and we will definitely be back!” –Angela “Our first visit to Michigan did not disappoint! This home was spacious for 7 people, clean, and so accessible to all surrounding attractions. We enjoyed the ease of entry and cozy amenities. We felt at home and so welcomed by the host, Katie!
