Great trip to Muskegon for 2 families! House was comfortable and had everything we needed. Close to the beach and restaurants. Fire pit was awesome, big dining table great for meals and games. Dog friendly with a fenced in yard! Only complaint is that the basement bedroom was so cold. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you! Please come back any time! This is an older home and did not have central air or even ductwork or cold air return when i bought it. Unfortunately or fortunately the downstairs is extremely well insulated and does stay cool but leaving the bedroom door open does help and we always have blankets in the closet. Glad you enjoyed the house! 😃

We Would Stay Here Again!

We really enjoyed our stay on this property. It was cute, comfortable, and clean and had everything we needed and more. We were only there two nights, but we wished that we could have made use of more of the amenities like the fire pit and yard games that were provided. We did not bring our dog this time, but we would love to do that in the future. Overall, we highly recommend this property.
