Fabulous getaway

Absolutely perfect for one traveler or two visiting Muskegon and surroundings!The location is near services and a short drive to multiple water points. The owner makes everything easy, from booking to check in/ entry to communication once on site.They have thought of every detail of the space layout, interior design, and amenities so this gorgeous, peaceful place shines and has everything you need. The pictures are accurate and the owners are willing to engage or give privacy based on what you want.The only surprises here are finding great coffee, beautiful jewelbox decorations, and enjoying the most amazing sleep you've had in a while!We are already hoping to stay next year when we're in town... and get in that spectacular saltwater pool and barrel spa!

About the host

Hosted by Kari L Paul

Host profile image
We purchased our property in the spring of 2021 and have been working on remodeling and updating it ever since. The Pool House was one of my favorite projects and is the most incredible transformations—we took it down to the studs and started fresh. I absolutely love all the details we put into this small space!

Why they chose this property

We’re located in a small, quiet neighborhood, yet just minutes away from shopping, restaurants, and the beach. We see and enjoy wildlife every day.

What makes this property unique

The Pool House is truly one of a kind. Tucked away at the back of the property, our unique guest house offers access to an underground saltwater pool, sauna, and ice plunge. The main deck features a Blackstone and grilling station, along with fire pits for cozy evenings. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend getaway or an unforgettable summer vacation.

🏳️‍🌈 We proudly welcome LGBTQ+ guests. This is a safe, inclusive, and respectful space for all.
