The Bott Cott: Cozy 3-Bedroom Retreat in Grand Haven

Welcome to The Bott Cott! Here, you have access to a shared private Lake Michigan beachfrontage just down about 50 stairs from the top of the hill. This home is located in the private and wooded Stickney Ridge Association and is just a short drive to Downtown Grand Haven! Spend your days at the beautiful beach and then head back to the house to use the gas grill for dinner. You won't get tired of watching the sunset from the large open deck or walking the historic association to see all the old homes. This vacation home is minutes away from all of your favorite things to do!

BEDROOM CONFIGURATIONS
THIS HOME SLEEPS 5 GUESTS
BEDROOM #1 MAIN LEVEL: QUEEN BED
BEDROOM #2 MAIN LEVEL: DOUBLE BED
BEDROOM #3 MAIN LEVEL: TRUNDLE BED

This 3-bedroom cottage is one of the original homes in the historic association. The cottage sleeps 5 people in three bedrooms all on the main floor. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed, bedroom 2 has a full bed, and bedroom 3 has 2 twin beds (trundle). There is a full bathroom connected to the third bedroom and the kitchen. This is a great cottage with an open floor plan that gives everyone enough room to find their spot to relax. This is not a pet-friendly property.

Grand Haven is located on the shores of Lake Michigan. We are a quaint, little beach town recently named the "Happiest Seaside Town in America," by Coastal Living Magazine. Here, your family will find Grand Haven State Park, which was voted in the Top 10 Best Beaches in the world by Travel+Leisure Magazine. The boardwalk stretches one and a half miles, beginning at Chinook Pier and ending at the iconic red lighthouse. Historic, affordable, and amusing, the trolley is continually traveling throughout the waterfront and downtown areas dropping you off at any desired location. At the end of the day, grab a blanket to sit on and head to the Waterfront Stadium where the whole family can enjoy the Musical Fountain. This synchronized lights, water, and music show has coined the title "World's Largest." This free show plays nightly at dusk throughout the summer. Lucky for you, all of this is just minutes away and waiting for you to revel in.

Gorgeous location, cute cottage, will be back!

This place is absolutely perfect for a quiet beach getaway. While not lake frontage, you can still see the lake from the deck. We had deer (and a newborn fawn!) coming right up to the deck while we sat outside, and were able to walk to the quiet, private beach in just a few steps. The beds were comfy, the place was clean, we will definitely be back!

Good place to stay for a long weekend getaway

The property was clean when we checked in. The pictures and ad are accurate. It has all the basic necessities you would need for a comfortable short stay. The location is really close to downtown area and everything else you'd wanna visit and do while in Grand Haven. Only real complain is the single bathroom which can become a problem if more than 2 people stayed in the house. A second bathroom or even half bath would have made this place close to perfect.

Great Cottage!

This cottage was everything I was hoping it would be! The bedrooms are small and you have to be able to climb steps, but this is a great place to stay. The beach is so close and there are great views of lake Michigan from the house. The beach is also very quiet. Hardly anyone else was out there during our stay. The neighbors are all very friendly and most have been in that area for decades. The cottage is a short drive to downtown Grand Haven, and a few minutes from the local grocery store. The owner is quick to respond and I would definitely rent this cute cottage again.

Great beach!

The proximity to the beach was great!! The house was clean and very comfortable!! There's covered parking. That was nice. I'm glad I brought my car and not the truck. It wouldn't have fit. The beach sand is like powder! It's beautiful!! I gave 4 stars on the property cleanliness because the vines and bushes in the walkway could be addressed. We really enjoyed our stay!!

Location can’t be beat

House was just as advertised. The location is fantastic, feeling completely safe and secluded, beach access, yet still just a 5 min drive to groceries Walmart and just a couple more mins to downtown. The home was clean and well kept.the beach is beautiful. The only thing I would have liked to see is a touch more amenities - beach chairs, beach umbrella would have been so great to use (I would have rented them if that were an option nearby but its not). Sheets were not comfortable.

Great property

The property and area were very nice. The beach is accessible down a flight of stairs and a there's a ~20 minute walk to the lighthouse down the beach. The owners seemed suspicious of us initially, and said that they didn't rent to non-family groups. I'm not sure if they've had problems with partying, but it was a little weird and stressful to think we'd have to change plans if we didn't give them reason enough not to cancel our reservation. That being said, when we told them we just wanted a nice weekend by the lake, they were fine.

Very small

The place was clean and easy access to the beach. However, it is very small. There is 1 bathroom that is the smallest bathroom I have ever been in and the third bedroom with the daybed/trundle is so small that there isn't room to set the trundle up. Literally. We had to carry it out in to the living room. Kind of pointless to have the trundle when it won't even fit in the room.
