About this property
Riverfront Blufftop Escape | Hot Tub, Deck, Fireplace, Kayaks, Tubes & Firepit
Mornings begin with a quiet breakfast in the master suite nook, followed by coffee on the blufftop deck as the water flows below.
Spend the day paddling kayaks, floating in tubes, or fishing along the Muskegon, then grill out while the kids run between bunks and the yard.
When night falls, soak in the secluded hot tub grotto, warm up by the fire, and retreat to spacious, hotel-style bathrooms. Trade ordinary weekends for something special—book your riverfront escape today.
