Family-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Macatawa

My wife and I and our twin 2 year olds stayed here over Mother's Day weekend. This home was perfect for us and had everything we needed as a family of 4! We really enjoyed all of the living space the home had to offer. From the front porch, to the 3 Seasons room, to the back deck. Our girls especially like the stoned area! They loved picking up the rocks and making piles lol. Don't forget the hot tub! It was super clean and we loved using it. The beds were super comfortable, and the bedrooms had everything we needed. A huge plus was having robes and slippers in every closet to use to go out to the hot tub! This location is at the end of a street and felt very private even though it was in a neighborhood. You are about a 2 minute drive to downtown Three Oaks. We would definitely stay here again. Also, Three Oaks is such a cute town and everyone was so nice! We can't wait to go back!

The cabin was very clean, had everything we needed for a short stay, and has excellent views of a pristine marsh – with fewer bugs than I expected! My partner and I woke up to the sounds of countless birds and fell asleep to frogs and toads every night. It was a dream come true.

Easy check-in and felt right at home. Jennifer was always responsive to messages. She also gave great suggestions for food etc. The house is located perfectly for walking to the beach, market, restaurants, coffee. It is also a great location for quick travels to New Buffalo, Three Oaks, Michigan City and more. We will visit again for sure!

This is a great place! Beautiful lake views and so many amenities. Kathy has gone above and beyond and thought of every little detail and the small things which matter! A welcome box of snacks, plenty of K cups for coffee. The place is immaculate and I would definitely recommend!! Thank you Kathy!

This is the second year I rented this place for my birthday weekend away with friends. The house has so many accommodations for sleeping and different sitting areas. However, the main event is the kitchen. My friends and I love to cook and that's why we came back a second year in a row. The kitchen is unbelievably well-stocked with anything you might need to cook. There are multiple sinks so someone can be cooking while someone else cleans. The layout is perfect for people to hang out with whoever is cooking. There are two ovens. It is a dream. The house feels comfortable and lived-in, and it feels like there has been a lot of thought and intention focused on the user-experience. Cannot say enough nice stuff about this house, cannot recommend enough. Will be coming back for my 29 birthday.

The place was amazing. Plenty of space for my girlfriend, me and our two dogs. Kimberly gave lots of great recommendations and went above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Thank you again!!

Robert’s home was lovely. The setting was as described. We were close to activities and also secluded enough to relax and enjoy our time together on the deck. I highly recommend Robert’s place.

Peaceful getaway on Macatawa Bay in a gorgeous and very spacious house. Full of great equipment. Ideal location and the view on the Marina is stunning.

Kym’s place was so cool! In the amazing Heritage Hill district with all of the beautiful historic homes. A big plus is they are LGBTQ-friendly- as a member of this community, it’s always good to know we have a safe place. And the space is large and beautiful, plus the best mattress I’ve slept on. Definitely would love to stay here again.

Absolutely recommend this place! It is warm and cozy, with a massive backyard which was great for our dogs to play in and for us to relax in! It feels very private and has such a unique vibe! Ann was amazing, she was kind, friendly, and gave incredible recommendations! Mason Jar Cafe is a MUST! Highly recommend and hope to return soon!

Larry and Kristin were very communicative throughout the process. The cabin and location itself was well worth the price we paid. My family and I enjoyed the cabin, the scenery, and the lake. I really enjoyed and appreciated the privacy and location of the cabin. Lastly, I was very excited about being close the lake, and my son and I enjoyed walking the beach every evening. We had a great time!

I must say Michael is a very responsive host, he made the visit easy, he checks in on his guests, very clear communication. Love the property, cute little home with everything you need to make you comfortable. Highly recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be returning! The house was beautiful and extremely clean, the master bed was so comfy and the backyard was perfect for our pup to run around in. The location was also perfect and in a peaceful area, but also only about 10 minutes to New Buffalo and some amazing restaurants! I would definitely recommend and can’t wait to book our next trip back here!!

Great stay. We had a wonderful time and the arcade games were a bonus. House was so cozy. It started snowing just as we arrived so the views were gorgeous-even had a few deer show up to complete the view. Perfect place for a winter getaway-cant wait to stay there again in the summer.

This was an awesome spot. Would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the lake.

love staying in this cabin, is so cozy and warm. We spend a good day there . thanks for sharing this space with us

We had a great stay! The house was perfect. It was nice and clean with a great rooftop deck and screened in porch. The location could not have been better, walking distance to everything in town. Everything was easy as far as check in and check out with a book explaining everything in the house. Mark was great at responding to questions. I would highly recommend staying here.

Saugatuck is a darling town and Robyn’s condo made it even more delightful. Wonderful neighborhood, very walkable to shops, restaurants and the water!

It was a pleasure meeting Antoinette and her family. They are extremely welcoming. The property is amazing especially if you like horses, donkeys, chickens and outdoor cats. We definitely recommend a stay there.

Such a cute home. Right across the road from the Warren dunes. Easy to get back and forth with a bicycle. The cutest little ice cream shop right next door. Bed was comfortable and the bunk beds are roomy. Would definitely stay here again.

This is our 3rd year in a row to come for an extended Labor Day weekend and bring our kids and/or grandkids. We love the setting. The pool is perfect for the younger kids and the adults appreciate the beauty of all the surroundings, including at poolside. If we could change anything at all we would add another bedroom as we can't quite get all of our extended family here at one time. That said, we would like to return for a 4th year at Labor Day weekend time next year. The combination of beauty, privacy, amenities, condition (always in great shape!), and proximity to lovely South Haven can hardly be beat!

Jennifer’s home was absolutely amazing—beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared in every way. It was the perfect place for our family getaway. The kids had an incredible time and are still talking about all the fun they had. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Highly recommend staying here—thank you, Jennifer, for being such a wonderful host!

Lovely home, many well thought out perks like fans in upstairs rooms and beach toys for kids! Info said it was an easy short walk to beach so I spent a whole lot more than I usually would. With children it would not be pleasant and is really not a short walk (and is on a semi busy road) & beach is down a whole lot of steps. BUT there are parking spaces so it was fine. Within the house, the steps are fairly steep at parts & there are 2?big ones going into house &!these were hard for my 70 year old mom w knee issues. So if person reading reviews is one of those people, this might not be THE place. That being said, it is very short walk to community pool & host is very responsive & house is beautiful! My mom mostly stayed within first floor including an awesome bed/bath on ground floor. There are games (although I didn’t love the Ouija board 🫣😂) . This would be a great place for multiple family / friends to split cost ;) Its very beautiful & community pool & hot tub are great!

This is our 5th year of vacationing in New Buffalo and have stayed at Missy's place on 3 of those visits! The house works beautifully for our family (7 adults and 4 kids under 6 yo) and you're never tripping over each other, which makes it so relaxing! We'll be back!!
