The Lincoln St. home is just beautiful and so enjoyable to spend a weekend in with the family. It has all the kitchen pots, pans, gadgets and utensils needed for people who like to cook and bake. (I made cupcakes) The hostess stocks it so nicely and it is evident to me that great care was made to make our stay comfortable. The only down side is that the mattresses are foam (I'm sure they weren't cheap) and flatten out quickly and you are left with a hard sleeping surface. Only 3 out of 7 of us slept well. In spite of the mattresses, we had a wonderful time together there.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted that you and your family enjoyed your stay and found the home comfortable and well-stocked for cooking and baking. We love hearing that guests are able to make some great memories and some great cupcakes too.. LOL We appreciate your feedback regarding the mattresses. Comfort preferences can vary from person to person, and while many of our guests specifically compliment the cool gel memory foam mattresses and even ask where they can purchase them, we understand that they may not be the perfect fit for everyone. overall it did sound like you and the family had a great ime and hopefully you will choose always vacation rentals again for your next stay when you are in the Muskegon area

Perfect for our weekend in town

We stayed in this beautiful home for the weekend of my nieces wedding. It fit our families needs perfectly, gave us common areas to catch up and enough room to spread out. I loved the labels on the cabinets so we knew right where to find everything. They thought of everything you could possibly need or forget during your stay! Definitely recommend and would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Harris

Host profile image
I love being a host because it allows me to bring each home to life and share the character of the community I live in. Being local, I have a deep connection to these homes and the Muskegon area. My husband and I are passionate about thoughtful design and creating spaces where guests can truly relax and feel at home. Every home is prepared with care, comfort, and a sense of belonging in mind.

Why they chose this property

The moment I saw this home, I was drawn to its style and personality. It had such a fun, distinctive feel, and I could immediately imagine how it could become a warm, inviting place to gather. I’ve put a lot of care into bringing that vision to life—creating a space that’s comfortable, relaxed, and full of character. I hope you enjoy staying here as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it.

What makes this property unique

Lincoln 2 is one of the most fun homes I’ve ever had the joy of bringing to life. Originally a Sears kit home, much of its original character remains, giving it a warmth and charm you don’t often find. From the moment I saw it, I knew it was the perfect place for a playful, mid-century-inspired design that feels inviting and full of personality.

This spacious five-bedroom home comfortably sleeps eight and offers plenty of room to gather and relax. The fully fenced yard, patio, and welcoming front porch create wonderful outdoor spaces, and from the porch you can even catch glimpses of Muskegon Lake. Inside, you’ll find thoughtful details throughout—games for kids, colorful artwork, and touches of vintage flair that make the home feel joyful without being overwhelming.

This is a home meant to make you smile, settle in, and enjoy time together. I hope you feel just as at home here as I did creating it.
