This property is an absolute gem! Located in a quiet neighborhood and is walking distance to both Lake Michigan and Lake Muskegon, hiking trails, and the beach. Super clean and all the comforts of home. It was nice to have a fire in the fire pit out back after a long day exploring. Ed was the best host! Communication was so easy! We will definitely return to Redbird Cottage! Thank you Ed!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property. The house was beautifully decorated, spotless, and well stocked with kitchen supplies. We traveled with two kids, and Ed thoughtfully put out toys, children's books, and brand-new dinnerwares for them. We all had a great time exploring Muskegon and playing at the beaches. Ed, thank you so much for hosting us. It was an amazing week.
