So. Many. Amenities! Everywhere you go there are little touches that make it so enjoyable. The house was immaculately clean, well designed and decorated and just lovely, even in the winter! Barbara was fabulous to work with as well, ready with recommendations and very communicative. You’re close to everything and on a lovely street, with Lake Michigan just a couple minutes away. If you’re looking for a FABULOUS pet friendly spot, that is absolutely lovely (kitchen, furniture, one floor living, great location, great common areas) and has a super host, this is it!!

Yearly Summer Family Vacation

Every summer for the last 5 years, our family has picked a new beachfront town to explore along Lake Michigan. Muskegon was wonderful and offered so much! From easy access to multiple beautiful beaches, state parks, and bike trails, our family loved our time here. The property was perfect for a family and even dogs! Brenda has everything you need and organized to perfection. Our kids loved the playroom so much!

The thought of traveling 18hours with 2 kids under the age of 5, and staying in a hotel was stressful. I was more than satisfied with this property. EVERYTHING a family could need was present. Kids cups and plates, high chairs, a game room with kids toys were very appreciated. This property has amentities for everyone even if you weren't traveling with kids.We are planning to stay again this summer to enjoy the outdoor amenities.The only thing I wish was that there was another bathroom .

Our favorite spot

It’s become a family tradition to Muskegon in the summer in July and this place has the perfect amount of space and provides wonderful accommodations. The game room was a nice surprise and our children loved it! One of my favorite things about this place is the backyard patio with a griddle and grill because it allows us to all be outside while I prepare a meal for all of us. Also, we witnessed our daughter take her first steps here! We will be back!

Quiet neighborhood, close to beach

The property is within walking distance to Muskegon Lake and the quaint business district of Lakeside. Pere Marquette beach is fabulous, and only a 5 minute drive away. We had a fantastic stay, and our host, Brenda, is top notch. The home is tastefully renovated, and the large fenced yard is perfect for your furry best friend.

They thought of everything that a family would need. The outdoor patio and fenced in back yard was great for our children to run around. The close proximity to Pere Marquette beach was nice too. There's a bike trail but with children you're better off driving since it's a little less than 2 miles away.
