This was our second trip to this property and it was lovely. We rented the boat this time and it made the lake much more accessible. Russ was great and we had a perfect time.

Calm Getaway

Renting the pontoon boat is highly recommended! There are not many restaurants in the area, so if you want to stay in the neighborhood, we recommend bringing groceries. The place is small and cozy. Helpful owners live next door.

Great Lake House

It was just my husband and I for this trip but it works for kids as well. It's a wonderful little two-bedroom lake house with access to private beach area and boat dock. There are paddle boats and kayaks you can use while staying here. It was a wonderful little getaway.

Great place!

Very nice open home. A lot of family lives nearby, we hosted a couple of small gatherings, adults only. There was plenty of space and the openness of the house made for fun conversations. Kitchen was well-equipped. Bedroom and bathroom were also great, clean and large just two of us stayed overnight. We really could not have asked for a better place close to Muskegon.
