The cottage was perfect. You can launch a kayak or canoe steps from the back door. The house was clean and communication was great. We’ll be back to enjoy some more fishing on the Muskegon.

Wonderful Stay

The house was absolutely perfect! Had everything we needed! Plenty of space for all. We fished and tubes in the river. The location was amazing. We saw so much wildlife, deer, hummingbirds, blue herons, hawks and a bald Eagle which was unbelievable! We will definitely be going back!

Retreat week

A friend and I stayed for a week as a sort of art retreat and loved the beautiful setting and quiet location. The property was clean and the one issue we had was cleared up immediately by the manager. The manager was quick to respond and easy to work with. Highly recommend this location if you are looking for a quiet place to spend some time.

Perfectly quiet and peaceful

Wonderful stay! Such a nice property right on the Muskegon River, so peaceful and quiet. Heather is a great hostess, providing for pretty much any needed supplies you may have forgotten, and super fast and responsive to any questions/comments. We got to stay during the week of the baby food festival in nearby Fremont, and she gave us a schedule for that also, so we got to enjoy that a well. Groceries, gas, food, everything was less than 15 minutes away, while still enjoying the relaxing solitude of the cottage. We enjoyed being able to use the cottage as our base to explore the area, 30 minutes to Michigan's Adventure, and one hour to Silver Lake. Great place, great stay, highly recommend!

Relaxing ℜfreshing in Nature

Our family had a wonderful experience staying in this cottage. If you're looking for a quiet place, to renew, refresh, and rejuvenate. This is a great spot for it! One of our highlights was kayaking down the river. If you don't have your own kayaks or canoes, The River Rat is an affordable spot to rent from. We grilled for each meal. Especially enjoyed the screened in patio for our mealtimes.We had a campfire next to the river, complete with Smores and Jalapeno poppers. Heather was great to work with. The cottage was nice and clean! Kitchen is stocked with the basics to cook. Would def recommend this property.

Completely charming!

This stay was a surprise birthday gift for my husband who loves fishing. We were absolutely amazed at the cleanliness of the home. The owner Heather was so helpful and did so much to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The best part of it all was how friendly and helpful the neighbors were in making sure our stay was perfect including saving paper for us so we were able to start our camp fire. Everyone was so kind to us! The river runs right through the backyard and we got to enjoy our morning coffee while marveling over the view. We had everything we needed there so clothes and food were all we really had to bring. It’s honestly hard to put into words how much we really loved it. After our first 2 hours of being there we decided as a group we were coming back next year. 😊. Highly recommended from me! A Big Thanks to Heather and all the family members who were so wonderful to us

Beautiful River Getaway!

We enjoyed this property so much! We have 4 boys, ( twins-3, 6, and 8) and they had so much fun just casting their lines down by the river. We didn't catch anything, but they didn't care. The river is shallow there right now so it is easy for the big kids to swim, but it is a bit fast flowing for little kids. The house sits up high, so we were careful to let the littles outside without supervision, but there's plenty of front yard space to play and you're also at the dead end so they can ride their bikes on the long driveway and out there. Such a quiet location with friendly neighbors! Cooked steaks over the fire and they were amazing! Kitchen has just about every utensil/pan you could need along with supplies for toddlers. Only 45 minutes or so from so many fun things too! Oh, and we found out that the bridge down the road, you can float down the river from there to the house and it's only about 45 minutes. Heather is so nice and always quick to answer questions. Obviously we highly recommend and will be back!

Wonderful location and amenities

Although this property was a tad further out than we had expected it was worth it! So quiet and beautiful! An older but well kept house with everything we needed including all sorts of items for little ones! Extra beds, bed rails, crib, highchair, etc - it was perfect! We saw all sorts of birds and animals including deer and turkeys! We loved it!
