Great for pets. Everything was delightful if we had to give a negative it would be that the WiFi was rather sketchy and one bedroom did have a dresser.

Overall, I could easily rate this place 95 out of 100. Very few things were wrong at all, and they were so minor it’s hardly worth mentioning them. Great communication with the host. Good sized for six adults and dogs. Beautiful fenced in yard that allowed the dogs to run around and enjoy themselves. Everything was brand new top to bottom, side to side, very nice features. Very comfortable beds, seating and spacious enough for six adults to move around without banging into each other. The net packs: would’ve been nice to have a bathroom upstairs, didn’t really need one in the basement, but it was very nice. The stairs to the second floor had a very short tread and tall rise. Fortunately, the couple that stayed up there were 30 year olds, that climb would not be for somebody in their 60s or older. The house is located in a decent side of the Muskegon area, felt very safe and secure, and very close to nicer restaurants, shopping in sightseeing. I highly recommend this location and in the future when we’re in the area if the need arises, we would absolutely rent it again.

Impeccable Stay — Pet-Friendly Perfection Near Hoffmaster!
We stayed at this beautiful rental while visiting our MI Cookie Project family who were camping at Hoffmaster State Park. We needed a place nearby that allowed our two dogs—and this property was the perfect find! As a short-term rental owner and a rather particular traveler, I was absolutely blown away by how impeccable and well thought out everything was. The home was extremely comfortable, spotless, and fully stocked with all the little essentials travelers often forget. The attention to detail, especially for guests traveling with pets, was truly appreciated. Brenda was incredibly responsive and available for any questions we had. We are already looking forward to booking another one of Brenda’s properties in the future!

House was a little hot when we got there, especially upstairs. Was a nice neighborhood and plenty of room for 7 of us. The adult kids took the TV, so a second TV might be nice. Close to park, shopping and beaches.

Highly Recommended Stay in Muskegon
This place is adorable! The house is clean, well decorated and thoroughly organized! They have tons of extras in case you forget anything and a very nice washer and dryer in the basement, which was great for towels and swimsuits! There’s also a fantastic outdoor space, which our dogs both loved! We will definitely be back!!

Outstanding Home and Location
Brenda was a fabulous host only outdone by how terrific the home was. The home is newly remodeled and Brenda thought of every little detail to make the stay so outstanding. The kitchen was very well stocked with items to cook with along with a wide variety of spices and condiments to make your meals extra tasty. If you forgot got a bathroom item, Brenda has you covered. Her recommendations for the area were top notch. Our dog felt,right at home. The backyard is perfect for relaxing with your furry family members. Brenda has the vacation rental down to an art. You won’t be disappointed.
