Cozy Lakefront Cottage - 2 docks, grill & fire pit. Fishing, hiking, hunting!

Fall foliage and hunting haven! Escape to a charming waterfront cottage on the Muskegon River at Croton Dam, ideal for a romantic retreat or outdoor adventure! Wake up to stunning sunrises and the gentle calls of loons, then step outside for fishing or ice fishing right at your doorstep. This fully stocked cottage offers luxury linens and all the comforts you need for a relaxing stay. After a day of boating, fishing, or exploring scenic trails and delightful local eateries, unwind by the fire and embrace the tranquility. Your perfect fall and winter getaway is just a booking away! Nestled among the trees off the Muskegon River in eastern Newaygo County, this cozy one bedroom, one bath lakefront cottage provides stunning water views with direct water access, including two boat docks with kayaks and paddleboat. There is ample outdoor living space, boasting a waterfront deck with grill, dining table, and lounge chairs. Enjoy summer nights and cool fall evenings with the fire pit and Adirondack chairs or in the cozy living room and three seasons room with a view! Bring your own boat, jet ski, or fishing reels and enjoy outdoor living at its best on all sports, 1,380 acre Croton Dam Pond.

Inside the cottage, you will find amazing views of the water from every main room. The entire cottage has been completely renovated, with every inch tastefully fashioned by a professional designer, from the subway tile and quartz counters to the sliding barn doors. The classic knotty pine walls and ceilings add to the waterfront ambience.

Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, a primary suite with ample closet room, and a full bath with a tile shower and luxury linens. The living room offers a queen sofa bed for children.

We are located next to the Croton boat launch and 5 minutes from the Hardy launch. Snacks and groceries can be found at Gene’s Croton Market, 4 minutes away. Many highly rated restaurants are also nearby, such as Northern Trails Bar & Grill and Driftwood Bar & Grill (accessible via boat from our dock!).

All Season Life On The Water
Spanning 1,380 acres, opportunities for fun and excitement are seemingly endless on Croton Pond.

Enjoy activities like boating, jet skiing, tubing, swimming, and fishing on the water. A public boat launch can be found on the southwestern end near the Croton Dam. Anglers tossing out a line can expect to reel in largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, black crappie, bluegill, walleye, and northern pike.
There are multiple parks along the shores of the lake, offering fantastic amenities like tennis courts, campgrounds, places to picnic, a disc golf course, and much more!

Easy Breezy Weekend Stay
My fiance and I needed a break and I took his birthday as an excuse for a little trip. We had a very restful weekend and the cottage accommodated an easy stay-cation with the on-site facilities and nearby grocery for the necessities to stay in. The hosts even had some extra board games and a smores kit provided!

The place was Beautifull place. everything clean and relaxing. stocked perfectly. Bed was comfy. Down by the docks needed cleaned, I was a bit disappointed with weeds, huge spider webs on the docks.no place to get in the boat or kyaks without getting in the 20' of water. Overall the house was great.

Pretty much perfect
Peaceful area, quiet with a great view. The cottage is much larger on the inside than I was expecting even with the images! Everything was very clean, the amenities were unexpected but very appreciated! Owners’ replies to my few questions ahead of time were prompt and courteous. No unreasonable rules. And the location was essentially perfectly located for us. And a mink hangs out under the dock! That was fun to see. Would love to come back one day. Only minor issue I had was getting properly hot water in the shower. After my girlfriend had showered and it worked I couldn’t seem to get that to work for me. Unsure if it was user error or something in the shower not working correctly. Didn’t detract from the experience at all.

Perfect spot to unwind!
Just spent a long weekend at this delightful riverfront spot and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The cottage was gorgeous, super clean, and exuded a cozy charm that made it easy to feel right at home. Nestled along the river, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere that was perfect for relaxation. The interior of the house was thoughtfully decorated, blending comfort with a touch of rustic elegance. The living areas were spacious and inviting, providing the perfect space to unwind after a day of exploring the beautiful surroundings. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals and enjoy them with the scenic river as our backdrop. One of the highlights of our stay was the outdoor space. We spent hours on the deck, soaking in the tranquility of the river and watching the wildlife. The access to the river was a fantastic bonus, allowing us to enjoy activities like kayaking and fishing right from the private docks. I highly recommend this riverfront home to anyone looking for a peaceful, cozy retreat. It was a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, and I can't wait to return for another stay!
