Unique Waterfront Location on Muskegon River

Located on the Muskegon River between Hardy and Croton Dams. 1200 acres of all sports water. Close to trails and National Forest.

Plenty of room for kids on air mattresses or in a tent in the backyard. Full kitchen, fridge has an ice maker. Private dock available at extra cost. Just 8 feet off the water. Feels like a houseboat with the amenities of a cute cottage.

Weekend Get Away
The place was absolutely beautiful and very clean. Spacious and was the perfect fit for us. It was all so inviting. And the views…just wonderful sitting out on the patio just a few feet from the water. Very quiet even when the boats went by.

A hidden gem.
We had a great 4 days at the home. If you are looking for a waterfront property, you ain't getting any closer then this one. Property was very clean and felt homey. Would visit again! Next time with the boat. Thanks Rhonda!

The ultimate recharge
We are in Michigan on the lakeshore and only an hour a way, but the Muskegon River is our favorite area of our great state, and stay in the area every year. This property is the most unique and perfect for a couple we’ve ever stayed at. 5/5 We went early season, for Michigan, and it was so peaceful and relaxing. It was our 24th wedding anniversary and we spent a long weekend doing NOTHING. Which was awesome. The river side porch is covered and our last night…it rained…but it was so tranquil and soothing. If this property is available early fall this year we will 100% be booking again!

R&R at the River
Highly recommend! Best out of all places we stayed. Owners were great and great communication. Property well taken care of and stocked well. So serene sitting outside with my morning coffee watching the boats go by. Located close to a lot of attractions. Loved going to Croton Dam. Can't honestly say enough good about this property and owners. We are already talking about another visit.

Tubing Trip
Our Family and friends loved this location and house. It was just enough room for the eight of us. We did have to bring two air mattresses that fit in the living and dining areas. We visited for a Tubing Trip near Croton Dam which is only a few miles away. We enjoyed the outdoor patio the most. The view was beautiful and had plenty of room for all of us to enjoy. We will definitely be booking again.

Little getaway
The pictures looked just like the actual place. It was very cute and homey. Grocery store right near by was nice! I didn’t really realize how close you were to other people tho. We were there on a holiday weekend so lots of people on both sides and we had some kids who would run right by on the porch while we were sitting there and once while I was changing. I didn’t except that so I had the blinds open haha I pictured it a little more like having that area to ourselves. I was sad I didn’t bring a fishing pole cuz I saw some nice fish right there! The views were amazing. Would love to come back when the leaves change. We also went tubing at Wisners which was beautiful and peaceful.

Relaxing
There are some cosmetic imperfections to the inside of the accommodations here. That said, if you are looking to unwind this is the perfect spot. It’s peaceful & beautiful. I picked up some food at a local grocery store & spent my day relaxing on the front porch with a good novel. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Very Unique Location and Very Quiet
We had an absolutely wonderful stay! Communication with Rhonda was simple and easy from booking and all throughout our stay. The property was clean and had all the amenities we needed. There were several welcoming touches from the yummy jams and they had the Murphy bed all ready for our daughter to sleep in (which she absolutely loved!). It has just enough room for a couple or small family to spread out and relax and an up close water view from every window! You can't stay any closer to the water than this, and we enjoyed the setting immensely. It was so quiet during our stay, that I was content to just stay at the home, but when we would venture out for food, we found the local restaurants and shops had lots of yummy options. There is so much more I could say, but it was just perfect for relaxing and getting away from it all. Rick and Rhonda make communication a breeze and were very enjoyable hosts! We appreciated the boat ride, the play area for kids, the dock with easy water access, and all the little extras that made the week stand out. We definitely hope to be back one day!
