Great stay!

We had a great time staying here at Ed’s place! He was right there through text every time we needed! It was a very short walk to the beach and loved the privacy of the fire pit! It was very clean and a true testament when I have twins babies who are crawling everywhere! No dirty knees at all lol. We will plan to stay again in the future!

Nice place and location

This is the second time I have stayed here. The location is great near Pere Marquette park and beach (easy walk or bike ride), plus near Lakeside, and easy to get to other areas of West Michigan. Love the fire pit area with lots of chairs and a table. Very relaxing place

Great little space near the lake!

This was a perfect fit for our little family of 4. Close to Lake Michigan, private in back, we saw so many deer in the morning - my daughter loved that! It was cozy, clean, and Ed was super helpful sharing tips of places to eat or things going on in town!

Our stay at the Eagles Nest was perfect. The house was super clean and fire pit outside was awesome.

We especially loved that the cabin sat up on a dune with trees behind us and a fire pit. I would definitely recommend this to others. Also, the proximity to the lake is also a selling point. Jane was willing to help with anything we needed. Loved it!

Adorable cottage, felt right at home!

Cottage is great! Perfect size for our family of four with two kids. Very clean and well appointed. Decor is adorable. Great location and my girls were thrilled to see the turkeys and deer wandering right outside our window. Would definitely return.

Cozy Eagles Nest Cottage

The Eagles Nest was perfect for our family party that was near by.We celerbrated our 20th year anniversary at the eagles nest cottage, we used it for a quite get-a-way in the evening. It was an exceptionaly clean and comfortable place, with nice furnishings. Also it was very close to Pere Marquette, witch was beauitful. I would recommend this to any one with a small family who is looking for a great get away! We will be back.

Tiny cottage in a nice location

The property is very small but has a nice living area and all the basic equipment. There were no condiments, coffee, etc at all so bring everything with you or plan to hit the grocery store. There is a lot of glass in the sandy trails behind the house so watch your step! Overall, a nice place to stay.

Cute

If you are going to Muskegon, stay here - it is clean, cute and a good price. We really liked taking the kayaks out. We also enjoyed the fire pit and walking around in the dunes behind the cottage. The beach is really a 5 minute walk away and a great place to watch the sunset. We also walked to a nearby restaurant at a marina and had a great meal. The owner called to know if we needed anything and was very nice.
