Great cottage for visiting Muskegon

This well-kept cottage is conveniently located in Muskegon midway between the lake and the downtown. Very close to the bike path and parks. Was well-stocked with everything we needed. Had a wonderful trip

Peaceful pastel

The home was convenient for our family. The neighborhood was quiet and neighbors were friendly. The home was also clean and well equipped. Very close to Pier Marquette beach as well as a quick drive to North Muskegon, where many of our families activities took place.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
We had several issues during our six-night stay that affected our experience. Most concerning was an apparent ongoing water leak in the basement, with water staining on the ceiling and containers/towels placed underneath meant to catch dripping water. Because of the leak, odor downstairs, and the condition of the area, we did not use the basement recreation room or second bathroom during our stay, even though those spaces were part of the listing.The home also had an extremely strong fragrance from numerous plug-in air fresheners throughout the property. We removed them and aired out the house, but the smell remained very strong for the duration of our stay.We reported these concerns during the stay. Someone did come to the property and provided air purifiers, changed the HVAC filter, and turned on the basement dehumidifier, which we appreciated. However, the underlying issues were not resolved while we were there.I’m sharing this so future guests are aware, particularly of the basement condition, and can ask the host about whether the leak has been fully repaired before booking.

Great location and neighborhood, decent house

Absolutely loved the area. As for the rental, it was mostly maintained well and sufficient for our needs. Gripes: tiny house with large furniture, so barely enough space to walk around, and I'm small. Also the dryer did not work, so we had to drive home with a bag full of wet laundry.

Cute home in great residential neighborhood

This is a lovely, small home that has what you need to enjoy yourself in Muskegon. It is not always easy to find a two bedroom rental in Muskegon with two bathrooms near the lake, that also accommodates your furry friend. This one was close to both Lake Michigan and Muskegon lake and has a fenced in back yard. Not walk close, but definitely bike close and in a very sweet neighborhood with large trees, friendly neighbors, and beautiful plantings. It is also very easy to get to the farmers market and down town Muskegon. It was clean and pretty, and we enjoyed every aspect of it. Communication when needed was prompt and friendly.

September Get Away

House was clean and decorated in a beach theme. Beds and couch were comfortable. Shower was a bit precarious with the magnetic shower head but we figured it out. Plenty of towels, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. Kitchen had all the items we needed to make meals during our stay. Yard is all fenced in which was great for pets. Close to the beach (less than 10 minutes). We didn't spend time sitting outside as most of our time was at the beach but plenty of seats for 6 people. Overall, a great stay.

Nice place. Unfortunate timing.

I stayed at a peaceful pastel with my family during the 4th of July week. The house was as described and clean. The check-in process was straightforward, and there was good communication with the property manager via text or phone. One thing we were not expecting was massive construction happening directly out our front door. The entire road was shut down and being ripped apart to install what appeared to be new sewer lines. For three days in a row, we were shaken awake at 7 am by heavy machinery. I understand this was out of the control of the property management, but I wish we could have gotten a slight discount for the inconvenience or at least a heads-up that it would be going on. Other than that, the neighborhood was quiet and nice. It was within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and a playground. My only complaint about the house itself is the beds are VERY firm/hard and seem old. For the price of this listing, I hope they decide to upgrade the mattresses for future guests.
