The Tazelaar Story

West Michigan is rich in history, and Tazelaar Cottage is part of it! Read the story of Janet Virginia (Wierda) Tazelaar as written by herself and her descendents. 

"Super welcoming with treats, fresh flowers and seasonal decor! Well equipped kitchen, Bedrooms, baths! Great gathering areas, signs for everything, clean hot tub with robes and very responsive rental association! Thanks owner and Freshwater for a terrific time!"

February 2025

"We stayed only two nights but wished we had more to take in all the sights of this gorgeous location and the amenities of this fully stocked home. Everywhere we looked there were supplies and notes/information displayed to make our stay memorable, comforting and so welcoming. The house was spacious but also had several cozy nooks (with scenic views) to hang out."

"This might be my second review....but wanted to make sure that you knew how much we love staying at Tazelaar cottage. Its the perfect place for 4 good friends to retreat and refresh in the midst of our separate lives. Of course the beach access is wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed the addition of the hot tub this year! We will always choose to stay here when in Holland!"
