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.

Felt like HOME

Our stay at this riverside beauty was peaceful and comfortable; and it felt like home. I can see why all of the reviews are a 10 out of 10. We whole heartedly agree. I especially appreciated the soft linens and new towels. We hosted a Father’s Day lunch for immediate family and the deck was perfect! We will definitely stay again.

The BEST hosts.

Never before have we stayed at a property where the hosts were more accommodating. From the snacks left to the "just leave everything and we will take care of it.There really needs to be more stars to give for hosts like Kevin and Gail.

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.

Could not recommend Gail & Kevin’s place more! They were so wonderful and accommodating and the rental itself is perfect. Impeccably clean, fantastic outdoor areas, and fast WiFi for anyone who needs to work! Gail responded to any questions within minutes. Highly highly recommend for a week-long trip :)

Exactly what we needed

This property is a perfect arrangement of everything you could possibly need. You will not find a cleaner house. The property owner was surprisingly responsive which was nice. I have zero complaints or even recommendations on how our stay could be better. The kayaks were great. The location was great. We loved it.
