Clean, comfortable and quiet location to enjoy visiting the western coast of Michigan. Quick drive to the beach, dog park, downtown Muskegon restaurants and attractions. The fenced yard was great for our dog to spent time outside with us while we enjoyed the patio and fire pit.Would definitely recommend staying here again.

Great house, well stocked!

This house has everything you need. There is a lot of details covered (qtips, coffee, etc). The only downfall is the neighborhood is a bit run down. Most definitely the nicest house in area. Brenda was great at communicating as well.

Brenda’s properties are absolutely amazing places to stay! She has managed to find locations for her patrons that are just a few minutes away from the nearby shores! With keen attention to detail, she and her crew have transformed her Muskegon homes into four-star gems! She is very easy to deal and speak with and lists her stays for absolutely reasonable prices. We will be returning in the near future to Muskegon and will continue to spend our vacations at Brenda’s homes. Look no further ppl. You’re just going to be wasting your time.Best regards,Presley

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

This classic Cape Cod–style home has a warm, comforting feel that reminds me of the kind of houses many of us grew up visiting. There’s a sense of familiarity and ease here that guests often connect with, making it a place that feels welcoming, relaxed, and easy to call home during your stay.

What makes this property unique

This welcoming home offers comfort, space, and easy living close to Lake Michigan, beaches, and bike paths. It’s also a great choice for guests traveling with dogs, thanks to a fully fenced yard where pups can run and relax.

Inside, the layout is spacious and comfortable, with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a cozy living area featuring a 50" Smart TV. The lower-level family room includes two twin beds and a game table, making it a great hangout space for kids or a casual second living area for adults.

Step outside to enjoy the large patio with a grill, fire pit, and plenty of seating—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. An EV charger is also available, adding extra convenience for electric vehicle travelers.
