We needed a peaceful, quiet getaway for a few days, and this was the perfect spot. Kellye is an impeccable host! Everything in the cottage was beautiful. We've stayed at many vacation rentals over the years, and this was by far the nicest. Kellye's list of area restaurants and attractions was quite helpful. The furniture was super-comfortable, everything was meticulously clean, and the grounds were gorgeous. We came away feeling rested and rejuvenated - goal met!

Kellye’s place in North Muskegon was an absolute gem, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly. From the very beginning, she was an incredible communicator...warm, responsive, and extraordinarily generous in making sure we had everything we needed. Just two days before our reservation was set to begin, our plans changed and we suddenly needed to add a couple of extra nights; Kelly made it happen quickly and seamlessly, taking so much stress out of our travel, and that same thoughtfulness carried through our entire stay, right down to helping with little things like finding an iron to spruce up our wedding outfits. The cottage itself was spotless, peaceful, comfortable, and absolutely perfect for our family—my wife and son, my mom, and me—with just the right balance of private spaces and shared areas. It became such a special setting for our son to spend meaningful time with his grandmother and strengthen that bond, which made the stay even more memorable for us. The grounds are beautiful, and the location is fantastic—so close to Lake Michigan, Duck Lake, great restaurants, Ruth Ann’s Ice Cream, and everything else you could want while still feeling wonderfully quiet and tucked away. We felt completely supported every step of the way and left with nothing but gratitude for Kelly and this very special place. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and highly, highly recommend it.

The cottage was great. The hosts were very accommodating and provided everything we needed for a great stay. The cottage was cozy but plenty of room for the 2 of us and everything was updated in the kitchen, bathroom, living room and bed rooms.
