A little more about our two biggest neighbors:
Grand Haven, Michigan is a classic Great Lakes beach town celebrated for its lively waterfront, sandy shores, and welcoming small-town atmosphere. Nestled on the shores of Lake Michigan where the Grand River meets the lake, it’s best known for its iconic twin lighthouses connected by a scenic pier that’s perfect for sunset strolls. The city’s downtown buzzes with boutique shops, local eateries, and summer events, while the famous Grand Haven Musical Fountain lights up the night with synchronized water, light, and music shows. Outdoor lovers can enjoy miles of bike paths, fishing, boating, or relaxing at Grand Haven State Park, where the beach is just steps from the vibrant boardwalk. From summer festivals like the Coast Guard Festival to peaceful winter walks along the snowy shoreline, Grand Haven offers year-round charm with a true “Pure Michigan” feel.
Holland, Michigan is a vibrant lakeside city known for its unique blend of Dutch heritage, stunning beaches, and lively downtown charm. Situated along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, Holland offers visitors a wealth of experiences—from strolling the cobblestone sidewalks of its boutique-filled downtown to exploring the colorful blooms at Windmill Island Gardens, home to an authentic 250-year-old Dutch windmill. Outdoor enthusiasts can soak up the sun at Holland State Park or Tunnel Park, both boasting wide sandy beaches and breathtaking sunsets over the lake. Seasonal festivals, such as the world-famous Tulip Time Festival each May, infuse the city with color, music, and Dutch traditions. With its mix of cultural attractions, natural beauty, and warm small-town hospitality, Holland is a year-round destination that captures the essence of West Michigan’s lakeshore living.
