About the host

Hosted by Ed Bodman

Host profile image
Locally grown, we look to bring great experiences for visitors to our little gem of a beach side community , and winter wonderland

Why they chose this property

Rich with history from the silent actor colony days, we are a remodeled home in a turn of the century neighborhood. Fully rebuilt home with exceptional décor and amenities

What makes this property unique

Short walk to either Muskegon Lake or the big lake, yet a quiet back dune setting . French twist decor is stunning and soothing. Big fire pit for evening smores, or climb up the back dune and through the quiet wooded dune setting, until you arrive at the beach of Lake MI or Muskegon Lake. Or take bike pathways for a long ride to town or along the boardwalk loop of LK MI
