About this property

Entire place

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

Perfect fall time escape! They don’t call it Scenic Drive for nothing. For a perfect fall weekend, go to Lewis farms with corn maze, petting zoo, and so much more. Find Secret Lake on a fall time walk through the wood at Muskegon State Park. Read a book or enjoy a movie snuggled up with views of the sunset.

THE SETTING
The pristine shores of Lake Michigan. Sunshine, soft sand, warm air, the light droning sound of boats on the water. You enjoyed swimming, boating, bicycling, reading, walking the dog, the amusement park or just relaxing earlier that day. You're sitting on your provided beach chair watching the magnificent sunset with your beverage of choice. You start to smell a smoky aroma, but you cannot tell if it is the grill or a bonfire on top of the bluff; to your delight it is both! After you enjoy some time by the fire, playing board games, or watching a movie you fall into your comfortable bed. You smile as you sleep knowing tomorrow is another lake day.

Relaxing lakeside stay

The cottage is so cute, fresh, and well-appointed. I haven't slept this well in a long time! Perfect place for a solo, contemplative retreat, but would be so much fun with a small family in summer. The beach is lovely.

Perfect getaway with all the amenities!

Beautiful location on Lake Michigan. Walk the beach, enjoy a campfire on the beach or backyard, take advantage of a state or county park. Muskegon has great food, Grand Rapids is a wealth of options or drive north or south along the shore to experience towns big and small for more fun.

Great location!

It's all about the beach! This house would be ideal for a family with small children. We had four adults and the bunkbeds were not ideal, but since we mostly spent all of our time outside, it wasn't that big of a deal. Really great location, beautiful beach, love that we could have a fire on the beach. Lots of seating. Love it.

One Night Stay

The cottage is small, but exactly what you need. A walk down a short flight of stairs and you’re right on the beach of Lake Michigan. Bonfire on the beach at sunset. It was great!

Great lakefront home.

We enjoyed several beach days. The stairs to the beach are very stable and secure. It was only 15 minutes to an amazing theme park, Michigan s Adventure. My wife loved howany antique malls were within 20 minutes. Great property, great host. Will definitely considerconsiderbooking again.

Beautiful view

The location is fantastic. We love how close the beach is for taking morning walks and just sitting by the lake during the day. It is a little brisk for swimming but some days it is possible. We had a beautiful sunset each night. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for a great stay. Thank so much!

Cozy Cottage

We had a short stay as we explored Western Michigan. The cottage was a good home base for us as we played in Michigan. Positives: The Lake. Honestly if you want a cozy spot with the lake at your feet this place is for you. Our crazy boys loved diving in regardless of how cold it was 😆. Yard. Both the front and backyard gave more than adequate space for ours boys to play. The long driveway in the front got turned into a wiffle ball court. The backyard had a fire pit which was wonderful. I wouldn’t say the rest are negatives, but just awareness. The house is cozy… for us. We have a 10 year old boy and 6 year old boy and space is limited. We were glad that there was outside space. Master bedroom bed sunk in a bit towards the middle. Wasn’t terrible but we had just stayed at a hotel the night before where the bed was amazing so it was noticeable. Overall the trip was great.

Best rental ever

This is by far my favorite place I’ve ever rented via VRBO. The house itself is a perfect little cottage, and it was immaculately clean. I was here with my husband and our two dogs and we had the best time going to the beach every day. There is a yard as well and a little deck out back. We cooked each day and grilled almost every night. The lake/beach is unbelievable and so beautiful. Check in /out was super easy. This is my dream house!!

Weekend getaway to visit family

The property was very clean and cozy and nicer than the photos show. It was a little small for our family of five and two small dogs but we were only in town for the weekend for a wedding and graduation so it was definitely manageable. The snacks waiting for us was a huge hit with the kiddos! The outside area has plenty of seating. The beach was so peaceful and beautiful. Wish we could have enjoyed it more. Everything went very smooth and communication with the host was excellent.
