"We stayed at the Knotty Pine with three adult couples and two pre-teens and were all very comfortable! The layout allowed both for us to be together but also gave us privacy and space. Amenities were generous and we had everything we needed to cook a variety of meals. Some of us flew in to Grand Rapids - this is within 1 hour of the airport and easy to get to. Beautiful location, peaceful surroundings, and fun beach towns near by. We left all talking about “next time” and hope to be back!" (Sarah, Ohio)
"Daniel’s home was nothing short of perfect for the 8 of us (6 adults and 2 toddlers)! The home is beautifully rustic and had every amenity imaginable! Beds were comfortable and every room very clean. We are hoping to be back if not this summer, then next Dec for sure." (Jane, Colorado)
"I cannot fully express what a pleasure it was to stay in your home. The books and games were fun for our children. The view from the deck is gorgeous! The fireplace was so cozy. The host is incredibly responsive and kind. Thank you for being patient was our booking change and our in/ out times. This was the best way I can imagine spending a honeymoon with kids. Cozy, precious, warm, safe. Truly can’t say enough. The decor is unique and lovely. The home is clean. The host is wonderful. The price is wellll worth it. We cannot wait to come back if you’ll have us!!!" (Robert, Michigan)
"We had a wonderful stay at Daniel’s home! The house itself is spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a kitchen that’s perfect for cooking and gathering. What really sets this place apart are the outdoor areas,whether you want to relax in the shade or soak up the sun, there’s a perfect spot for it. The location is ideal, with easy access to beautiful beaches and just a short drive to both Holland and Grand Haven. Daniel was an excellent host, very communicative and helpful throughout our stay. We would absolutely love to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-appointed getaway." (Jeremy, Kentucky)
"We (family of 4) stayed for 6 nights.. The Knotty Pine is located right at lake Michigan, a tiny little walk away from the beach. With surrounding trees and perfectly working AC it keeps you nice and cool and provides lots of privacy. As a culinary school graduate, I really enjoyed the beautiful,well equipped kitchen. Traveling with little children can be difficult at times, so having a washer and dryer was great! also Daniel provided us with a pack and play and a high chair. We all loved this place very much and if we wouldn't live so far away (Germany), we sure would come back very soon." (Pia, Germany)
"I usually keep a low expectation for Airbnbs but Daniel’s exceeded even my high expectations. It’s a beautiful cabin located on a wooded hilltop right by the water. When you’re not cooking smores on the fire pit or lounging on the hammock, you can take a short walk to the lake and really soak in the sun. If you want more of a night out, the local scene has such amazing food and drink that it’ll make the trip back home even more challenging as it raised my bar for what constitutes good food." (Anthony, Texas)
"Daniel’s place was amazing! We were looking for a quick weekend getaway with our friend group and his cabin did not disappoint. It was private and peaceful, yet was still close to the beach/lake and surrounding areas where the men could go golfing and the women could hang out at the cabin and relax. We brought my 11 month old daughter for her first vacation and she had an amazing time! Daniel already had a pack and play and a high chair along with dishes for kids and kids beach toys, which was a huge win, allowing us to have one less thing to worry about when packing! Instructions were super clear and Daniel was extremely proactive in reaching out to make sure we had everything we needed. Daniel also provided so many recommendations on things to do and restaurants to go to in the surrounding areas. Can’t say enough good things about this place and host!" (Kamryn, Ohio)
