Anniversary Trip

My husband and I vacationed along the MI coast on our honeymoon. So for our 20 year anniversary we chose a long weekend to stay and revisit many of same places and discover some new ones. The neighborhood was quiet and off the beaten path. The manager was very communicative and had great suggestions for activities and restaurants. The location was convenient for explorations of Muskegon, St. Joseph, South Haven, Grand Haven and Grand Rapids. We had a great trip and would stay here again in the future.

Cozy cottage!

Ed was a gracious and helpful host! The house is super close to the beach and we used bicycles that Ed provided to ride the bike trails and go downtown. We had crummy weather but really enjoyed our stay at the Redbird Cottage!
