Sweet vacation cottage

We were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful little cottage close to the beach and in the middle of a neighborhood full of people walking their dogs, riding their bikes and waving hello! Everything was clean and well stocked, comfortable and cozy. The outdoor space was perfect for morning coffee and evening drinks with friends. We loved it and hope to be back next year!

September getaway

We enjoyed all the little ammenities, and had a peaceful bonfire after our long day at Michigan Adventures. Excellent communication with the host when necessary. It was wonderful being so close to the beach! The dog beach and ice cream place were a couple of favorite close spots too!

Beautiful home

This was a beautiful home and we truly did enjoyed our stay. I had to give three stars for cleanliness because the refrigerator was dirty on the outside and inside the freezer. The floors were dirty in the kitchen and the grill was rusty. My husband and I stayed in the queen bed and unfortunately that was a very uncomfortable stay because the bed had a angle towards the center and a very small blanket. Besides those issues the house was beautiful in the communication with the host was great. I would still recommend booking this home as our issues were very minor.

Great house for a group

If you find yourself in Muskegon, this was a great house. Larger than expected and very well supplied. I even found a set of tiny screwdrivers that allowed me to fix my broken sunglasses! Very close to Muskegon lake and Lake Michigan. Quiet neighborhood, and we found a nice boat rental on Muskegon lake. Hosts
