About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Waterfront Suite w/ dock, kayaks, bikes, grill, firepit

Experience the renowned fall color and glistening water as you kick back on the patio with your favorite beverage or enjoy the convenience of your boat docked steps away as you head out for your next big catch.
-Private 1 bedroom suite equipped with a luxurious king bed
-Queen pullout sofa sleeper
-Fully stocked kitchen
-WIFI/ROKU/ZUTV+ w full channel lineup, DVDs
-Private waterfront patio/fire pit
-Grocery/2 restaurants/gas/ATM 1 min drive
-Public beach, and jungle gym across street

The Suite is tastefully designed yet simple. We love the waterfront patio and bedroom decor. This cozy spot is centrally located to many area attractions and best for those looking to be steps from the pristine waterfront. While we take a great deal of care for the places at Alpine Resort, if you're seeking a perfect flawless place or are super high maintenance this is not the place for you. The location is beautiful; there is a breakfast/lunch diner (seasonal), public beach, and jungle gym right across the street. We also have 4 kayaks, bikes, air hockey, garage area available for shared use!

Guests have access to all common areas; driveway area, yard around cabin, boardwalk/dock area, kayaks, bikes, air hockey, garage area.

-Note also that this is a resort with 4 separate buildings being rented however there is still plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the grounds, reference overhead photos if you have questions on layout.
-The property is also located on a busier road which does cause some daytime noise however the suite does sit furthest away from the road.

-The Jetty diner/campground store across the street! (seasonal)
-Beach/play structure across the street
-Grocery market/2 restaurants (one on waterfront/one pizza takeout)/gas station/ATM ~1 min drive
-Hit the Road Joe on Elm (likely passed on the way in) amazing pizza and breakfast call/plan ahead as they have limited hours
-Newaygo State Park and the famous dragon trail (hiking/biking/etc) ~10 min drive
-Dragon Trail/Hardy Dam ~10 min drive
-ORV Trails ~15 min drive
-Newaygo Brewing Co ~12 min drive
-Coolbough Natural Areas/hiking ~10 min drive
-City of Newaygo (fast food, canoe rental, hardware store, grocery, etc) ~12 min drive

Everything was great. Very clean. Kayaks were fun. Very comfortable stay. Hosts are very quick to respond to questions. Wish one bundle of firewood would have been complimentary. Complete with friendly cat neighbor. Enjoyed the use of bicycles and other amenities.

Stress free weekend getaway
The cottage was great, very comfy and clean. Had everything you really could need. My only complaint would be the lake…not that anyone can do anything about it and very typical of most inland Michigan lakes, lots of weeds, not crystal clear water. The Muskegon river nearby is fantastic though!!! We will be back!!!

Great waterfront suite!
What drew my husband and I to this resort was that the cottage/suite was located on the Muskegon river. What wonderful view from inside the cottage! There was a very nice patio and an area with a firepit. The nicely decorated cottage was very clean with a spacious, well stocked kitchen. We had one day out of our three day vacation in which the weather wasn't favorable, but there is a supply of games and plenty to watch on TV. The property does have several bicycles in which we made use of. There is some traffic noise being you are close to the main road, but it was no problem for us. The owners are only a phone call away with any questions or concerns. We felt very comfortable here and totally enjoyed our stay! We definitely would book again! Thank you!

Clean Clean!!! But traffic a bit noisy for my liking.
My husband and I planned a 3 night stay to unwind and relax from a very busy year. Upon entry the first thing I noticed was the cleanliness. It was absolutely spotless and this was definitely appreciated. It also had all the basic necessities you would expect and the view of the lake was very nice. However, it was not as quiet as we had hoped due to it being so close to a heavily trafficked road. The traffic did die down at night but during the daytime when we wanted to enjoy the lakeview and some conversation from the patio, there were several times we couldn't hear one another over the loud motorcycle engines. But all things considered, it was a pleasant stay.

Beautiful Waterfront Cottage
We enjoyed our stay with a beautiful view of the water. The Cottage was perfect for our stay with many little extras provided. Everything close by for dinning & entertainment. Hope to return when weather is warmer for some fun in the sun & fishing. The host did a great job communicating with us & making sure we had everything we needed for stay!

Clean, comfortable, spacious getaway
Great location on the water with tons of activities on site and nearby. We rode bikes provided and had a great time. Wonderful, super clean suite with a nice hot shower, coffee maker, stove, full fridge and king bed. This place was easily better than any hotel we could've stayed at, more thoughtful items included like shampoo and extra towels. The ONLY negatives were not having anything but a local store nearby, ( which was incredibly expensive) and the amount of people who wandered by the door while we were relaxing inside. We actually had one guy knock looking for the owners for some reason. Other than this, magnificent relaxing stay.

A great stay on a fantastic Pond Lake
We brought our wave runners and Croton Pond Lake is a perfect size. Big enough to open them up, small enough to not have excessive traffic. The unit was exactly as advertised and Brandon is super responsive. We met some great neighbors and ate way too much ice cream across the road at the Jetty (so good). Bed was comfy, Unit was clean. Sunrises and sunsets were great. Warning: no marina on the lake, so bring gas cans! On our would return list for sure!

Relaxing Anniversary get-away
My husband and I stayed here for two nights. Brandon is great with communication! The suite was very clean and nicely stocked with the basics. It was quiet, the beds were comfortable, and the view was amazing! Also, it has nice patio/firepit/grill area overlooking the lake and beautiful new waterfront deck/dock area with kayaks, which we enjoyed using a couple of times while there. Across the street from the resort is a cute little ice cream shop called the Jetty that also has cinnamon rolls and breakfast sandwiches.

The Suite
This property was a perfect stay for us. Very clean, well kept, and in a perfect spot. We stayed in The Suite which was perfect. The property is as advertised with plenty activities to do. We enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the water, kayaking with the kayaks that were provided. The boardwalk was a beautiful spot to catch some sunshine and just relax. The owners were very responsive during our stay with any questions we had. We will definitely be returning. Thank you Brandon and family!
