We stayed for a week in March while visiting family nearby and enjoyed having such a nice place to come back to at the end of the day. We thought it was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. The water view was nice and I’m sure will be even better when the weather warms up! Our host, Brandon, was responsive when we had a couple questions. We’d like to stay here again on future visits to the area!

Great stay in Newaygo

The "suite" cabin is the perfect place to stay at if you're traveling to the Newaygo area. I slept amazing every night, everything inside seems to be brand new so there were no issues with lights or AC, etc. The back patio view of the lake was amazing and plenty of things to do. I would definitely recommend this place!

Beautiful Waterfront Cottage

We enjoyed our stay with a beautiful view of the water. The Cottage was perfect for our stay with many little extras provided. Everything close by for dinning & entertainment. Hope to return when weather is warmer for some fun in the sun & fishing. The host did a great job communicating with us & making sure we had everything we needed for stay!

Stress free weekend getaway

The cottage was great, very comfy and clean. Had everything you really could need. My only complaint would be the lake…not that anyone can do anything about it and very typical of most inland Michigan lakes, lots of weeds, not crystal clear water. The Muskegon river nearby is fantastic though!!! We will be back!!!
