Peaceful Waterfront Home on the Muskegon River

This 1,300 sf waterfront house is nestled into the hillside of the Muskegon River in Stanwood Michigan on a private road. The quiet country location is peaceful and beautiful yet only 10 minutes from downtown Big Rapids. This meticulously maintained home can be used as a summer getaway on the water or a winter retreat close to snowmobile trails. The main level entrance contains a family room with fantastic river views. There is also a full kitchen, dining area, utility room with washer/dryer, full bath and bedroom on this main level. Relax outside on the huge deck and feel like you are right over the river! Go upstairs for an additional bedroom, full bath and an a large 20x24 living area with scenic river views. Bring your fishing pole and cast a line! Feel free to bring your own boat and attach to the 30' seawall; this river opens up into a large all-sports lake right before Roger's Dam. Two kayaks and life jackets are also available for your use.

Perfect Lake House Weekend

This house was exactly what my friends & I were looking for to host a fall kayaking weekend. The host was extremely accommodating, even let us check in early. They were quick to respond to all questions and even left us snacks 😃. The house is perfectly set up, comfortable and located close to town.

Cute cottage

The house was super clean! It has a large family room for gathering and another smaller sitting room with a tv(which was perfect for my granddaughter to play her video games 😊). Our stay was in February, but there is a large deck looking over the River that would be great to sit out out and enjoy the view.

River Retreat

Comfortable, clean, and well-appointed home with awesome 180° views of the Muskegon River. Pleased to have two kayaks and necessary accessories to enjoy paddling around the area. The location is serene. Spent mornings and evenings relaxing on the large deck overlooking the river. Expansive grassy front yard was perfect for bocce and ladderball (and it was shaded from midday on). Highly recommend this home!

View on the Muskegon River

Neat and tidy home with good views of the river and fishing from the property. Recommendations are to bring an umbrella for shade from midday to sunset and BBQ utensils which were not provided with the gas BBQ that was there.

Relaxation plus

For an older couple this house couldn’t have been better. To the ease if checking in, the cleanliness, the calmness and relative quietness on the river provided the perfect relaxation getaway we were hoping for. The house is fully equipped with all essentials. It was nice to have the house right up on the river rather than set back with the other houses. The owners clearly get what appeals to their guests.

beautiful setting!

Best part about the house was the gorgeous setting right on the river- house was well equipped and very comfortable. The owner, Gail, couldn't have been more accessible and nicer- wonderful communication with her. If there are any drawbacks, it would be the small bedrooms and maybe the lack of a dishwasher. AC was on the upper level only but still very comfortable in the lower area. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful getaway!

Relaxing!

Our plans changed last minute and it ended up being just my husband and I for an extended 4th of July weekend away. We couldn’t have been happier with the house, view and communication with Gail. The house was incredibly clean and very comfortable. The river view was awesome and our weekend away was so relaxing..filled with nothing but fishing and hanging on their sandy river bank. Thank you for sharing your house with us and making our first vacation away by ourselves in 5yrs fantastic!

River House

This property was a perfect weekend retreat for us. It was peaceful, exceptionally clean, and had a well-stocked snack basket and a pantry that included coffee, cooking supplies and even spices. The beds and furniture were very comfortable.We loved watching eagles, ospreys, herons and many other birds on the river from the deck and living room windows. My 5 year old grandson and parents visited one day and he was thrilled to catch big bass from off the sea wall. We were surprised to find the place also had kayaks and life preservers available if you chose to use them.it was a wonderful rental. I recommend it.
