Leigh was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. All the little details, from welcome goodies to plenty of extra hygiene items in the bathrooms, were so thoughtful. The A frame itself was so cozy while providing plenty of room for our whole group. Thanks so much for a wonderful getaway!

We LOVED our stay at this location for our first visit to Michigan. Easy walking distance to the beach & fun restaurant (with kids). The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe. The A-frame was lovely. I loved all of the little details put into the design & decor. The owners were very responsive and thought of every little extra we would need. Hoping to go back in the future!

This home was adorable, immaculate, had nice amenities, bikes, place to clean your sandy feet off… everything! She left us some lovely treats that all 7 of us enjoyed. We loved being close enough to the beach that we could walk. We do tons of deer in the mornings all around the home. Our trip was fantastic, but short. We hope to come back sometime during the summer! The hosts were kind enough to ready the sofa bed for us ahead of time, which was so thoughtful.

Our family had the most relaxing stay at this incredible A-frame, which perfectly hits the sweet spot of being a modern yet cozy beach retreat. The house was spotlessly clean, incredibly welcoming, and provided the perfect balance of privacy and togetherness.The open main living space was a huge highlight for us. With a ton of seating, we could easily chat on the couch while some did jigsaw puzzles at the table and others cooked in the kitchen, keeping everyone part of the conversation. When it was time to unwind, there were plenty of comfortable, private sleeping spots for everyone to get a great night's rest.The hosts truly thought of everything, which made traveling with my toddler niece a breeze. They provided a pack-and-play, a wagon, bikes, and even wood for the fire pit. The kitchen was fully loaded with everything we could possibly need, including both a coffee pot and an espresso machine to kickstart our mornings.The location is absolutely unbeatable, sitting just two minutes from multiple playgrounds and the beach, and only a short drive from local stores and several other fantastic beaches. To top it all off, the hosts were phenomenal—incredibly quick to reply to questions and wonderfully accommodating without ever being overbearing. We had zero issues and would book this amazing place again in a heartbeat!

About the host

Hosted by Leigh Pava Wendtland

Host profile image
We are a couple from the US (Leigh originally hails from Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Connecticut before moving to Michigan in 1997) and Colombia (Carlos originally hails from Bogota Colombia before moving to Michigan in 1992). We love traveling, cooking, adventuring, biking and hosting. We have four adult children spread all over the place and love being their landing place as they travel to and fro. We love hearing of new places to visit and the stories people offer. Having traveled to many places across the world, we are excited to share this special place on the beautiful coastline of Lake Michigan....the sweet water ocean.

Why they chose this property

The coastline of Michigan contains many towns and communities. Some of the areas along the coast are well discovered and many people know of them and visit. Muskegon is a less well-known gem with so many year round things to discover. Where else can you swim in the waters of a Great Lake, drive to see the stunning colors in the fall and then explore a Winter Luge Sport Complex in the winter months. It is a quiet neighborhood that allows for peace and calm, while only being a short (bike or car) ride from restaurants and entertainment.

What makes this property unique

The A-frame design captured our hearts from the very beginning. We took the time to consider our guests in constructing this property. Being cooks ourselves, we tried to include a variety of fun cooking options in our home. In addition, people have the opportunity for privacy, or communal time as the space is well situated for both. We designed and had involvement in the build of this house. You will see the evidence of the large tree that occupied this space in the stair treads, bedside tables and dining room table. It is a house constructed and arranged with our hearts and spirits and we believe you will see the care and love we put into this space. Whether you are a family, a group of friends or a couple looking for a romantic escape, we believe you will find what you are looking for at our home.
