Great little getaway
Stayed here for a couple of days to spend the weekend fishing for steelhead on the Muskegon River. Accommodations were great; ample space for my husband and I, well stocked, clean and fun decor! Cozy and cute. The fishing was great too! Will definitely return.

Nice setting, cute efficiency!
Perfect for two people who had lots of outdoor plans. We basically slept, showered, and ate breakfast here, but could have spent more time on site relaxing in the gazebo or heading down to the dock. Mini fridge and microwave were perfect for what we needed. Very clean space , with cute decor.

Very nice place with lots of character
Very nice place. Clean and the outside setup was unique with lots of options for fun or relaxing time. Would recommend it to anyone staying in the area. The host was very accommodating and friendly. We drove through the night and weren't arriving until very early in the morning. They had our unit ready with lights and AC on.

What a Treat!
It is such a cute property and there are many little surprises!! We stayed here for four nights and five days and we actually hated to leave. Our little cabin like room had some luxurious touches along with some novelty touches that just made it seem extra special. Our host Melissa was very responsive and kind. Our cabin was well equipped for anything we needed. We didn't get the chance to partake in any of the outdoor activities that this property offered, but maybe next time. 😉

What a great property this is. The grounds are well maintained and have nice amenities and beautiful sunset views of the river. Our room was very comfortable and decorated perfectly. Again, all the amenities you could ask for. The hosts have really done a great job to provide everything you could want for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. It is a great value for all you get. We're looking forward to going back.

My husband and I stayed here for a short getaway. The place is very clean and well kept, cozy, and many amenities provided. The host is super kind. We spent most of our time fishing, we caught a ton of perch right off the pier, we also caught northerns, and bass. We used their kayaks, up and down the river, the river is beautiful and full of wildlife.

Cute well kept property right on the river. There is one large room with queen bed, desk, table, and kitchen, and then a second small room with a queen sized bed. The bathroom is accessible from the main room. Property was pristine, and view was gorgeous

Relaxing
We used the rental as a home base during our trip, making day excursions to Michigan's Adventure, Fishing, hiking the Dragon Trail, and riding dune buggies at Silver Lake. But we also spent a lot of time at home base, and enjoyed the property! Our host was great and extremely responsive too .

Nice place
Very well-appointed and comfortable lodging. Good water access from the high Bluff, but the stairway to the water was steep and long. Not for older people the kitchen needed some attention: there was no spatula for cooking, and the coffee was lace with s’more‘s or caramel, if you’d like that sort of drink. Otherwise, easy to find and check in, and very private, even though there are four units at this location. Charming.

Perfect Little Getaway
We couldn't have asked for a better spot to stay for our little weekend get away. We had someone in the room next to us most of our stay and we only heard them a few time through the wall. Which is nice. Most of the time when you stay in small places like this you can hear your neighbors. It is super close to the dam. I would definitely recommend this place for a couple retreat.

Lovely property with lots of flowers, seating, and peacefulness to watch the birds and river. We expected to have a detached cabin and were surprised to find that apartments had been built into a garage instead. It completely met our needs and was beautifully decorated, clean, and secure. While yard games were available outside, we would have appreciated a deck of cards and a board game or two. We packed in groceries and cooked with electric skillet, dishes and kitchen supplies were excellent. I also didn't realize there would be no housekeeping during our 3 night stay, but we found the garbage and took it out. Plenty of towels to last our entire stay. Appreciated the extra blankets when it turned cold at night and the gas flue was turned off so no heat, though we were never cold - the unit stayed warm - not too warm, not too cool.

Hidden Gem
Almost a fairy tale setting, this hidden gem is perfect for a peaceful getaway. The property is on the water and has a beautiful, calming landscape. We enjoyed sunsets from the dock and the swing--so relaxing. The room was super comfy and met all our needs for a two-day stay. Melissa and Remy (the canine greeter) were the perfect hosts!

Just as advertised
We missed one of our nights there because it snowed and we couldn't get up to MI from OH. When we did get to the cottage, it was just as advertised and spotless. Cleanliness is very important to me and that it was. This is a delightful place to stay. We were still seeing things the next day that we hadn't noticed before. It was delightful.
