Great secluded cottage right along the river!
The cottage had 3 spacious bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a gas grill. It has a private beach located on the beautiful Muskegon River. The owner had a great suggestion for tubing down the river which my party all enjoyed thoroughly. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a secluded waterfront getaway!

Exactly what we wanted!
We are thinking about buying a cabin on the river in this area, so wanted to try it out for two weeks. The first weekend was just my husband and I, the second, our whole family came, including adult children and two grandchildren (ages 5 and 1). We had a fantastic time, and loved being right on the river. We kayaked, played yard games, played in the river and in the plentiful sand in the yard. Lots of seating (loved the light-weight Adirondack chairs!), kitchen was well-stocked, lots of beds (with clean bedding, which I really appreciated!). The crib and toddler bed were perfect for the little ones. Two full bathrooms were great. The living area inside is a little tight for a big group, but we were lucky that the weather was great the whole time we were there, so we were only inside to cook and sleep. Communication with the owner was fantastic, and they were responsive to a few issues we had. Missing the river already - hopefully we'll be back soon, either to rent here again or to buy nearby! What a beautiful spot!

July family vacation
The cottage on the River was very nice and secluded for privacy. Our family and grandchildren enjoyed our time there. We enjoyed multiple kayak trips and ORV trails. Nice splash pad and park next town over. Nice lake to swim and boat in nearby town. Owner very helpful with our questions and needs.

Relaxing Cabin - Great Stay
I brought my kids to stay for a short boys weekend and we had a great time. Cabin was clean and we were surprised that it looked nicer than the pictures online. The river was great. The kids had a blast swimming and finding rocks. Will be back!

Perfect location! Needs cleaning
Our small group of friends had a great time at this cozy river spot & kayaked from Evart. Good space and had most everything we needed. Few things that need to be improved was cleanliness (hairs everywhere, shower drain is pretty clogged and water sits, found old socks and a bandaid in the bedroom & kitchen). I also highly recommend bringing your own drinking water. Luckily we did this, the water smells of sulfur (eggs) and is quite yellow. Also prepare for the heat, the ceiling fans help but it was very hot during this 90 degree June weekend. Bring bug spray! Quiet and quaint spot in a great location. With a few improvements on cleanliness I would recommend!

This place is great! We loved sitting out on the deck and watching the river. It was so nice and quiet. It was perfect for a peaceful getaway. We saw a lot of bunnies and listening to the birds in the morning was great.

Hersey cottage
Cozy cottage, was a bit small for 8 but we were outside all weekend fishing, kayaking, bonfire, and grilling…..it was great. Very relaxing, we loved the River so close and was really nice. We really were only inside to shower, sleep and breakfast. Kitchen was well stocked and we found everything we needed. No AC though so it did get warm upstairs but there was fans and ceiling fans so that helped. We really loved the location and had a great Memorial weekend. Thank you Diann

Excellent spot for a river front getaway
My husband and I and two other couples rented this quaint riverfront cottage for our annual getaway. We were thrilled with the ability to put our kayaks in right at the property for a nice 2ish hr paddle each day. The amenities were perfect for us as we wanted to check out but also needed to be accessible to babysitters and whatnot so having wifi was a definite bonus. Diann was quick with communications and a joy to work with as a renter.

Can’t wait to come back!
Me, my husband, our 6 year old, 4 year old and 3 month old had the best time staying here. The location is perfect and it we such a EASY vacation. To be able to just bring out stuff + food and not have to leave the property is so awesome. The kids loved playing in the water and beach all day every day. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you for the opportunity.

Great Little Place
This place was a great for our quick fathers day trip. It was snug but do-able for 11 people (5 adults-6 kids). The house was cleaned and stocked with everything needed. There was enough room outside for our local family to come out and visit and enjoy the little beach and river. Plenty of enough chairs to sit around the fire pit and sit at he beach. The yard is kept nice and landscaped.

Spring Mini Break
We stayed at this property for 4 nights and had the most wonderful time. It was the perfect amount of space for the 8 of us plus 2 medium sized dogs. We spent the majority of our time outdoors fishing, back deck sitting, hanging at the campfire and just running up and down the hill. The boys caught crawdads, sucker fish, a snake head fish, snapping turtle and frogs down by the river. We brought hammocks that hung by the river and had a very relaxing time. Will definitely be back again!
