Perfect Place to Stay

My husband and I stayed for three nights and it was wonderful! The room was very clean, the grounds were beautiful, and the host left plenty of towels! The location is only a few minutes or miles from several different places to eat, drink, hike, bike, kayak, canoe, or tube.

Great place to stay!!

We had an amazing stay at Paradise Resort! It was clean and inviting with lovely decor and comfortable amenities! There is a nice fire pit, gazebo and swing that overlooks the river if you want to relax outside. You can also kayak and fish off the dock. It is a great location near hiking, food and a lovely little market about a mile from the resort. I highly recommended staying here if you are looking for a quiet Michigan getaway!

Sweet Refurbished Historic Business Property and Buildings

This is an amazing place and easy to find. From a bygone era, brought up to date, for a more than comfortable and affordable stay. All the modern amenities. Laid my head and chillaxed at A Paradise Resort, overlooking the Muskegon River, while intermittently exploring the surrounding area of the Newaygo State Park, Hardy/Croton Damns, and hiking a section of the Dragon Tail Trail. Melissa is a delightful host. Highly recommend.

Very Nice

I chose this place primarily due to the convenient location to various boat ramps on Hardy Pond. Upon arrival, it was better than advertised. The owners went out of their to make sure we had convenient/safe parking for our bass boats, along with cords/outlets to charge batteries. Would definitely stay here again.
