The drive to Heron Creek winds through a thick forest, guiding you to the edge of the coast where stunning views and a refreshing lake breeze await. Walk out onto the deck to take in a bluff-top view of vast Lake Michigan, then descend the stairs to get your toes in the sand of the plush private beach. The views permeate the home's interior through its many windows. Catch glimpses of lush greenery in every room, and walk into the living area for a stunning panoramic view of the lake.

What’s nearby:
You could easily enjoy a fun-filled day right at home, swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing on the expansive deck. But if you're feeling adventurous, Saugatuck Dunes State Park (three miles south) and downtown Saugatuck (six miles south) are both short drives away. In town, you'll find an assortment of unique shops, a variety of restaurants, and wonderful art galleries.

Wonderful House!

We had a great stay at this house. Plenty of room for all of us and the location is great! We cooked several times in the kitchen and used the grill on the deck. We are already planning another booking at this house.

Beautiful home

The house was nice but totally worth the view and the beach was amazing. Loved that it was off the beaten path. The house needs a little TLC but it is beautiful. Everyone loved it and had a great time.

Beautiful beach

Older home that is comfortably furnished. Plenty of room for a large group. Tucked away in the forest right on the water. Full kitchen and bbq outside. Might want to bring your own camp chairs because the ones provided are worn out. I would stay there again.

Peaceful Getaway

The house is roomy and comfortable. It's location is remote and peaceful. Sitting on the large deck with a view of Lake Michigan, listening to the waves, and watching the sun set over the lake is unbeatable!

5 star setting with 1 star cleanliness

The home sits in a very beautiful wooded setting overlooking Lake Michigan. But, it is in need of some TLC.

Great Weekend Trip

Had an amazing time with our large group of 32 year old friends. There are a LOT of stairs down to the beach so that may not work for some people but we loved the beach, the size, the number of beds/bathrooms and the location! Great stay!

Heron Creek

We loved this property. The deck is great with a view of Lake Michigan. If you go to the second deck, the view is amazing! The beds were comfy and there is lots of room in this house! One negative is that cell phones could not receive or make calls, but you could text. We would definitely recommend this property!

Fun times in Holland

The house had a beautiful view of the lake shore and the beach and sunsets were amazing. The house is a little older with some quirks but nothing we couldn’t handle.

Beautiful lakeside getaway

This was a spacious, comfortable and well equipped base for our family get-together of ten. The woodsy setting and spectacular sandy beachfront would be hard to equal. The 54 steps down to the beach were well maintained and manageable for all the members of our group, young and old. The house is located halfway between Holland and Saugatuck, an easy drive to restaurants, shopping, etc. We would gladly stay there again (but bottled water is recommended for drinking).

AWESOME SPOT!

Beautiful home that sits right on Lake Michigan. We brought 3 little kids and the creek that runs along the beach into the lake was like having a personal kiddie pool. We spent every day out on the beach- the flies were terrible the last day, but otherwise perfect beach days followed by relaxing evenings on the lower deck and in the great room of the house. Seriously recommend for a family vacation with little kids! Also enjoyed the paved driveway for toddler biking, the basketball hoop for little kids and the wrap around porch. Perfect vacation!

Lake Michigan waterfront

This is a great location for a family gathering. The newer decks and stairs to the beach offer some amazing views. However, this is an aging home in need of some TLC. Aging appliances, electrical problems, the presence of rodents hampered our visit.

Last minute girls getaway

There were 7 of us so plenty of room. Great location on the Lake with private beach access, able to watch the sunset from the lower deck & enjoy relaxing breakfasts or lunches on the main deck. The main deck has recently been replaced but there is minimal lighting making the stylistic levels a fall hazard. The WiFi is spotty at best. We enjoyed ourselves & agreed we need to come back for a longer stay.
