Short Stay

As off season did a short stay to visit family and friends. So much better than a hotel and the view of the channel is wonderful. The house is newly redone and has all the perfect amenities. The kitchen is better stocked then a Homegoods store.

Wonderful Vacation Home

Lovely property including a magnificent cement front porch with partial cover for lounging. Water view and a short walk to both Muskegon Lake and Lake Michigan. House was spacious and hostess thought of everything! Lots of labels to help us find things. Beautiful kitchen with all essentials and many extras. Bathrooms were roomy, we enjoyed air conditioning, and home was beautifully decorated. Access to garage with bikes and beach toys. We brought our own and appreciated a place to lock them up. Side patio included grill and bar area, covered. We highly recommend this property for a family vacation! We would like to return ourselves, and probably will.

Gorgeous Lake House

Beautiful lake house right on the channel connecting Lake Michigan to Lake Muskegon. Immediately begin walking the channel as you walk out front. Boats, deer, swans so much to see while just sitting on the patio. The house has been beautifully redone with an open floor plan that keeps everyone together so you don’t miss anything because you’re in the kitchen or dining room, etc. the whole stay was incredibly pleasant and I look forward to staying again.

Beautiful home in an amazing location! The attention to details was impressive and made our stay comfortable and easy. The house is on a channel, with Muskegon Lake and Lake Michigan within walking distance. So many great parks, hiking trails and restaurants nearby! We brought our labs Maggie and Henry and we appreciated the convenience of the fenced yard. Amazing experience, wonderful and cozy home!

A few days with Great Friends

This property is top notch and exceeded all of our expectations. It’s comfortable, clean, and so well stocked. Brenda has thought of anything and everything you would need. The location is awesome especially if you have a boat that you can dock at the marina. Being on the canal, there’s never a dull moment! You can sit out front in comfortable chairs or couch and watch all the boats. We have already booked our stay for next year. Awesome Vrbo
