REVIEWS
"This was the 3 or 4th time we have used Unsalted for our family vacation and we have always been pleased. This time we were at Happe House A, and it was great. Its location could not be beat if you wanted to be on the Grand Haven State Park Beach. A two minute walk to the park. The home had great views from the two decks and the living room. It accommodated the 11 of us with no problems. The home is 98 years old so there are a few creaks, but is fixed up well. We'll be back."

"The house had everything we needed to fully enjoy our stay, including a lovely deck overlooking the beach and great views of the beautiful sunsets. The house was also perfectly located, right across the street from the Grand Haven State Park beach and the lovely riverwalk."

"Loved our stay, couldn’t ask for a better sunset view! Appreciated that the beds were all real beds and not pull outs and couch spaces like some other places we’ve stayed in before. Would love to come back again sometime!"

The property was perfect for our family with kids and grandchildren. The view is spectacular and the location is very convenient. The only negative is that 2 small bathrooms are a challenge for 10 people. Otherwise I would definitely recommend this property. 😀😀😀

Great Family Gathering Place
This historic cottage is well designed for family gatherings, including extensive space for socializing and awesome views of the lake. It sleeps many without feeling crowded and has easy access to all that Grand Haven offers. Our extended family loved it.

Wonderful!
We had a wonderful time in Grand Haven. The location is amazing- across the street from the beach. The house is a cute old house that has been updated. Plenty of space for adults and kids to sleep. Beds were comfortable. The decks have an incredible view of the lake and sunset. Kitchen has everything you need. Only thing to note is due to the old house the floors are creaky... which mostly just impacts the downstairs bedroom at night. Otherwise, amazing rental and would come back!

Awesome location
Amazing location with incredible views of Lake Michigan. Fantastic common area with comfy couches and a great deck. Bedrooms and baths are a bit dated, but the property has room to sleep a large crew. Great for a large group, plenty of areas to relax and not be on top of each other. Very professional check in and out process.

Beautiful location!
The view and location is definitely as advertised! Outstanding location. However, the house is dated. Carpet and beds are old, and we had a mouse in the house. Overall though, fantastic stay.

Great family place
We had 4 adults and 4 children. There was plenty of room for all of us. I was surprised there was no beach supplies - at all. No beach towels, chairs, toys and balls. We bought some and took them home . Other beach rentals has these supplies. It would have been nice to have them at the cottage. We hope to return next year.
