About this cottage rental
Stairway to Haven is located in Highland Park, a historic and iconic cottage community just up the hill from Grand Haven State Park. With cottages dating back to the early 1900s, Highland Park has been a popular vacation destination for over a century.
WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING
"The house had a peaceful cabin feel even though the beach was only a 5-minute walk away. Great location. Would love to stay here again."
River D.
Stairway to Haven is situated on a wooded dune and just a short walk from beach access. The cottage is close to everything Grand Haven has to offer while still offering peace, quiet, and serenity to its guests. It is not unusual to see deer and other wildlife meandering around just behind the property.
Take a short stroll to the beautiful sandy beaches just down the hill, or make the quick trip into Downtown Grand Haven to have dinner, do some shopping, or take in the famous Musical Fountain.

REVIEWS
"We loved the house! It was very relaxing to sit on in the sun room with the windows open and listen to the trees, birds and feel the cool breeze. We loved the rustic look! The homes had everything you needed for a great trip! Each room had a fan and multiple outlets. It was a work out to get to the house, up all the steps but we loved it and it was very unique."
Dawne S.
"We had a lovely stay. It feels like you are in a treehouse; so peaceful and beautiful and only a few minutes from the beach! The stairs are real - you were warned but they are totally worth it."
Christy P.
"We had a great time. The property is beautiful and the host very supportive. 10/10."

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
Enjoyable except for: Toilet trouble in the basement. Gas line to fireplace should be checked. Smoke detector was going off due to low battery. Tv in bedroom had dead batteries in the remote. Outdoor fire table had sap all over it.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
Great location, easy walk to the beach. The stairs were not as difficult as I thought they might be. House was clean. Beautiful porch. Well stocked kitchen. Bedrooms were smaller than I expected, and there is hardly any closet/dresser space. Overall, good experience and would stay there again.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jun 2024
The place was very cute. The neighborhood was beautiful. There were some things I did not like about the place but if you just want the closeness to the beach it works. A service to help get your stuff to the house would have REALLY helped. I exercise 3 times a week and was not ready for all those stairs like I assumed I would be.
Plus was worried about the kids falling down the hills since there were no safety rails on the walkway besides just the handrail.
There was no lock on the 1 bathroom in the house so with small children it can be a pain. Plus the shower curtain hangs into the tub so you kind of step on while in the shower. But the bathroom that was in the downstairs washing machine area which you have to go outside and down more stairs had a lock.
Also you can hear everything in the house but I guess that is to be expected when it is just wood walls. We also had to buy extra fans to get some air in the bedrooms because of the heat and it was only in the 60's when we went.
Some instructions on how to run that particular dishwasher and the coffee machine would have been nice since it had a built in grinder which most people are not use too.
Parking was hard if you have a truck. We did really like all the deer we seen and there are plenty of places to eat or just go explore down there.
Be the house was furnished nice and the beds were more comfortable than I expected. And when we did call with issues they were super easy to get ahold of.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
Close to the beach, a lot of stairs (like 70) to get up to the property, there is a tram for part of the way but definitely not for seniors who need accessibility. Pretty surroundings.
