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 on the seawall.
For the safety and security of our guests, there are exterior security cameras mounted at the 2 house entrances plus on the back deck. There are no cameras inside the home. Guest privacy is important to us. Once you arrive, the owner camera notifications are turned off for your privacy.

Everything was better than pictured!

We enjoyed this home so much that we stayed home more than we had planned. It was clean, very well stocked and a beautiful location. The grill was wonderful. We enjoyed the deer prints on the beach area each day and the privacy the home provided. Probably one of the best VRBO locations we have been to.

Kevin and Gail’s home was a treat! It was so relaxing to sit and enjoy the lovely river view. My husband, mother and two young daughters stayed and had an absolutely wonderful time- everything we could have needed was inside and the hosts were so friendly and clear in communication with us! The snack basket was a real hit!I could not have asked for a better family weekend away! So thankful

This was absolutely the BEST experience I've ever had with a VRBO. We loved the place, felt right at home, had a relaxing visit, and super-easy communication with the host. Loved it so much that I'm planning a return visit with my husband in the fall. Thank you, Gail, for your 24/7 availability, and your true sense of caring that your guests are having an enjoyable experience :-)

Staying at this peaceful waterfront home was an absolute dream. The description is spot on—the house is situated right on the Muskegon River, and the views from the back deck are so peaceful. We loved spending our mornings sipping coffee and watching the water, and the sunsets were incredible.The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We especially appreciated the cozy living room and the well-stocked kitchen. The location felt private and serene, yet it was a quick drive to local shops and many parks.If you're looking for a tranquil escape with stunning natural beauty, this is the place. We can't wait to come back
