Great unit for a 2 night stay in South Haven. Beautiful grounds & beach. Unit had everything we needed and beds & furniture were very comfortable. A few issues/glitches with the booking process through VRBO, but Sleepy Hollow made it right. No complaints - would love to go back.

Comfortable Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was looking for a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo to celebrate with my sister’s birthday and this looked like what I wanted. It is nicely decorated with firm, but comfortable beds. I liked the back porch as well as the chairs provided at the front entrance. The toilet in the hall bath was not working properly and I called the number provided. I was told a plumber would be there that evening or by the latest first thing in the morning. When I had heard nothing by 10:30 the next morning I went to the office. Jordan was very nice and assured me a plumber had been contacted. He came to the unit and attempted to plunge the toilet, which we had done several times, and it continued to be very slow and not empty completely. By the time we left Sunday morning no plumber had come. I was disappointed because I specifically wanted 2 bathrooms available for my stay with my sister. The view of Lake Michigan was stunning. The pool was lovely as well. While there were numerous amenities listed such as table tennis, bikes to ride, basketball, etc., a lot of the equipment was not well cared for.

8A Cottage Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sleepy Hollow, itself is amazing. The grounds are meticulously cared for. The beach and pool and amenities are spectacular. The cottages are charming, however, ours was pretty gross and not clean, especially for the price we paid.Yes, the counters and stove were wiped down and the bathroom was clean, but the furniture was old, stained and smelly. The floors were filthy - our feet were black after walking on them and there were long black hairs all over the house and floor. The carpet under the dining room table didn’t seem to have been vacuumed. So, it was a bit disappointing to say the least. I would not stay in 8A again, and would hope some of the other cottages are cleaner.

Our Sleepy Summer Family Week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've been coming here for years since our children were preteens. Now our children bring their spouses and this year our first grandchild was introduced to this secluded lake Michigan paradise! The property is beautifully maintained and the cabins are cozy. You can spend a whole week here between the activities, pool, or beach; or venture in to town on bike, foot, or car for restaurants, shopping, and the farmers market. Lots of other adventures in the surrounding communities, are options if you need an escape.

wonderful October stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 8A was the most beautiful unit. Loved all the windows, skylights for natural light, even though it was mostly cloudy that week. The yellow bedroom was so cheery. Loved the little deck off of it to sit and read. The layout was perfect. We even used the gas fireplace a few evenings, which Jason helped my husband get started. Only wish we could have picked the unit up and placed it on the lake bluff.

Fabulous family getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful resort for families. Never had to leave Sleepy Hollow for things to do with grandkids. Plenty to do for adults if you're active - tennis (nice courts), bikes, pool, beach, ping pong and other games. All was in good shape. The charm of our cottage and the feel of simpler, away from it all, was what really gave us the relaxation we needed. Great location close to many fun towns. We loved exploring Holland, Saugatuck, and South Haven, and then returning to the quiet of Sleepy Hollow. Our cottage is decorated so well, and was fully equipped. Only changes I'd make would be one tub, rather than two showers, to bathe the kids; also expected one queen bed in each bedroom, and one was a full. Still would request same cottage. We'd love to make this an annual vacation. Truly special!!
