Charming Interior
The interior of this little Lakeside bungalow near the southern shore of Muskegon Lake was charming! The attention to decor and updated furnishings was wonderful. The kitchen and breakfast table were a little tight together but it worked for short term. We had guests drop by and visit, so one bathroom was only slightly inconvenient. Once the exterior and landscaping is cleaned up and improved, it will have the whole package. Weeds were overgrown in the front so our curbside first impression was not a good one. There was a bit of garbage in the backyard and it appeared that it had been given no attention in a while. We decided not to use the outdoor area after noticing some rotten boards in the little deck as well. we had asked about parking for our truck and boat and were assured there was room, but there really wasn't. We made do with the outside but thoroughly enjoyed the inside!

Just like it looks and we would come again.
We were a group of three work colleagues, looking for some separate spaces in a single property in the Muskegon area. This worked out perfectly for us. The vibrant Lakeshore was a short couple of mile drive and the neighborhood was nice to walk in. I have had a little experience with Muskegon. Made the Mistake of thinking we could walk on the lake shore near the house, but that wasn’t really the case- Even though the map made it look possible. That was our mistake. The home itself is very comfortable. We appreciate the communication and the attention to detail. Also also appreciated the coffee left for us! We definitely put a dent in it. Got up early and started working right away.

Lovely Lakeside Retreat
This property is adorable and so comfortable. It had everything we wanted/needed during our stay and was centrally located so most things were just a short walk or drive away. It’s a short drive to Pere Marquette beach and Muskegon beach is just down from Pere Marquette and dog friendly if you’re looking for a dog friendly beach that isn’t a dog park. We would absolutely stay here again.

Cute house near the beach
We stayed at this property for a short trip to Michigan Adventure. Property is about 5 min from the beach and near a beach hotspot called The Deck. The people who stayed before us left a big mess so our check in time was delayed 2 hours so the cleaner could get the place ready for us. Kitchen has everything you need! Comfortable stay for our group

It’s a perfect home away from home.
Everything in the house was so comfortable and we loved the beachy, nautical theme throughout. The deck and outdoor furniture was so nice to have our Michigan family come over to enjoy a cookout. There were a couple of minor “glitches” but our host was easy to contact and very patient with our questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Pretty Home
This is a great little house. We loved the backyard patio--and the kitchen had everything we needed. We'd recommend to friends and we'd stay there again.
