About this property

Quaint quiet cottage on the Muskegon River, Newaygo!

Our cabin is set up to accomodate couples, friends and families with 'feel at home' lodging. It's a great place to bring your clubs and play golf or your fishing gear and take advantage of some of the best Salmon, Trout and Steelhead fishing in North America. The cabin is newly remodeled on the outside and beautifully decorated inside with a relaxing view of the Devils Hole bend of the Muskegon river. As an architect I am dedicated to the fine details for making your experience first class. We cater to anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors in a National Forest. We have all new stainless kitchen appliances, large flat screen HD TV with full cable and great wifi for internet connections, medium refrigerator inside and full freezer/refrigerator out the front door to create more room inside, window unit air conditioning, washer/dryer, outdoor grill, firepit etc. to make your stay more comfortable. Our home is freshly remodeled from top to bottom both inside and out. It is exceptionally clean and completely furnished with everything you would need for a great stay. Please note the rate is for the first 3 people. I try to keep rates down for couple so they don’t have to pay to clean 5 beds. I spend a lot in cleaning to keep it how I would like it if I stayed here.



Our 850 s.f. cabin is situated at 2485 Muskegon Blvd on the steep high bank within the Devils Hole Bend of the Muskegon River. It is waterfront but only plan on veiwing river and not being able to access. We are upstream about 3.5 miles from the small town of Newaygo and a half mile below the Thornapple boat launch. Nestled within the Manistee National Forest our small neighborhood shares the Manistee with turkey, deer and black bear. Considered a fly fishing haven for brown trout, rainbow trout, steelhead and salmon, the river is suited to wading, drift fishing, kayaking and canoeing.
Enjoy an outstanding view down to the river while maintaining the feeling of total seclusion as your nestled within 100' tall hardwood trees. We are set up with 5 beds in 3 rooms (1 queen bed, 2 fulls and 2 twins), a fully stocked kitchen, linens and towels. We cater to those who want to spend a few relaxing days fishing, canoeing, kayaking and golfing. We have fishing guides if you are so inclined, I would not recommend being able to fish on the river in front of our cabin because of the steep access. Unfortunately we do not accept pets.

Phenomenal location on an amazing river we’ve been fishing for years. Stayed at many places along the mighty Mo over the years and the Devils Hole area is epic. The cabin so quaint and ‘homey’. Massage seats on the sofa were perfect after long days fishing sipping a glass of wine/beer. Will hopefully be able to book this cabin again! Super easy check-in/out. Great fire pit outside overlooking the river. Thank you Kyle for being a PERFECT host.

Outside of the property could have used some TLC, but the inside was clean and matched the description. All contact with host was promptly responded to. All instructions for my stay were given with payment, a little different from what I was used to. Not bad just different. Had everything needed for a great weekend getaway. Beautiful county with river view.

Perfect for our long weekend getaway. Far enough from the city to feel like you are secluded but close enough to grab a bit to eat or go to the store.

Great location, close to lakes and fishing at the river!

We enjoyed our stay, it was convenient, close to Brooks lake and the river to fish and kayak along with being close to town. The bonfire was a great pit and the layout is so cute and comfortable, we will book again. The owners were great with communication.

About the host

Hosted by Kyle Harris

Host profile image
We live in Texas but my wife is from Michigan and we travel up 4-5 times per year to fish and visit her family. I am a Landscape Architect and my wife is in the Insurance industry.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this place because of its feeling of seclusion yet a great view of the river. The fishing has no rivals. The locals have made us feel at home and many have already become great friends.

What makes this property unique

One thing we didnt realize is how many top ranked golf courses and antique shops there are in the area.
