About this property

L2 - 5BR Fall Retreat Fire Pit, Fenced Yard, 1 Mile to Lake Michigan Beach

Full Fall Listing Description — Ready to Paste
Settle into a rocking chair on the front porch, a warm drink in hand, as the crisp fall air rolls in off Lake Michigan. The neighborhood is quiet. The leaves are turning. And this is exactly where you are supposed to be right now.

Welcome to Always Lincoln 2 — a spacious, character-filled home in Muskegon's beloved Lakeside neighborhood, just one mile from Lake Michigan and Pere Marquette Beach. With five bedrooms, two baths, and room for up to 8 guests, this is the fall gathering place your whole group has been looking for.

Inside, vintage charm and modern comfort live side by side. Four bedrooms each feature a queen bed, giving every guest their own comfortable retreat. A fifth bedroom with two twin beds is perfect for the kids, and a fully equipped kitchen, open living area, and dining space bring everyone together naturally. Spin a record on the record player, let the little ones lose themselves in the kids' corner with toys and a mini kitchen, and settle into a home with real personality in every room.

But step outside and the magic really begins.

Out back, the fully fenced yard becomes your private fall escape — gather around the fire pit on cool evenings, grill on the patio, play outdoor games, and let the kids and dogs run freely in the safety of the fenced yard. There is nothing quite like a crisp fall night around a fire pit with the people you love most.

We have made sure everything you need is already here. Beach chairs, baby gear, and outdoor games are all provided so you can arrive and start enjoying immediately. And because we know pets are family too, up to two dogs are welcome with no pet fee and a fully fenced yard to give them the freedom they deserve.

The location is perfect for fall exploring. Pere Marquette Beach and the Lake Michigan shoreline are just one mile away — stunning in the fall and never crowded. Downtown Muskegon is three miles down the road. Muskegon State Park is a short 20-minute drive with incredible fall color, and the Muskegon Luge and Sports Complex is just around the corner for year-round adventure.

Fall weekends, October getaways, family reunions, group retreats — Always Lincoln 2 is ready for all of it. Come experience Muskegon at its most beautiful season.


— A Little Backstory —

There is something special about a home that has already lived a full life long before you ever walk through the door. This home did not arrive by delivery truck. It arrived as pages in a Sears catalog — flipped through, dreamed about, and eventually chosen. Piece by piece it made its journey here by rail and truck, unloaded into the yard like a giant puzzle waiting to be solved.

What followed was not just construction. It was craftsmanship, patience, and vision. And here it still stands — updated and refreshed over the years, but never stripped of its character. The original woodwork, the front porch, the layout restored to the way it was first imagined — all of it still here, still telling the story.

The small dings and worn edges are not flaws. They are reminders of the many lives lived here. Doors that have opened thousands of times. Floors that have carried generations of footsteps.

Now it is your turn to be part of its story.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Harris

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

The moment I saw this home, I was drawn to its style and personality. It had such a fun, distinctive feel, and I could immediately imagine how it could become a warm, inviting place to gather. I’ve put a lot of care into bringing that vision to life—creating a space that’s comfortable, relaxed, and full of character. I hope you enjoy staying here as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it.

What makes this property unique

Lincoln 2 is one of the most fun homes I’ve ever had the joy of bringing to life. Originally a Sears kit home, much of its original character remains, giving it a warmth and charm you don’t often find. From the moment I saw it, I knew it was the perfect place for a playful, mid-century-inspired design that feels inviting and full of personality.

This spacious five-bedroom home comfortably sleeps eight and offers plenty of room to gather and relax. The fully fenced yard, patio, and welcoming front porch create wonderful outdoor spaces, and from the porch you can even catch glimpses of Muskegon Lake. Inside, you’ll find thoughtful details throughout—games for kids, colorful artwork, and touches of vintage flair that make the home feel joyful without being overwhelming.

This is a home meant to make you smile, settle in, and enjoy time together. I hope you feel just as at home here as I did creating it.
