Unique Waterfront Location on Muskegon River

Located on the Muskegon River between Hardy and Croton Dams. 1200 acres of all sports water. Close to trails and National Forest. Outdoor activities include shuffleboard court, basketball, playset, trampoline, and corn hole. 1 bedroom plus a pull down Murphy bed to sleep 4 adults. Plenty of room for kids on air mattresses or in a tent in the backyard. Full kitchen, fridge has an ice maker. Private dock available at extra cost. Just 8 feet off the water. Feels like a houseboat with the amenities of a cute cottage.

Great weekend getaway

Came up to relax and fish. Weather didn’t always cooperate for the boat, but great fishing at night from the porch. Hosts were responsive to any concerns or needs.

Beautiful view of the river!

We came to the area to view the fall foliage. The property has an exceptional view of the river and hillside on the opposite side. It couldn’t have been any closer to the river. The property is a bit dated, but was great for what we needed.

The place was absolutely beautiful and very clean. Spacious and was the perfect fit for us. It was all so inviting. And the views…just wonderful sitting out on the patio just a few feet from the water. Very quiet even when the boats went by.

Our annual vacation destination.

This was our second summer staying there and we are planning on coming back. I enjoyed getting up first and sitting outside drinking coffee, reading a book, and waving to people going by on boats trying to catch fish. We brought our kayaks that we used on the river by the house and also on the other side of the dam. The weather cooperated and we had an amazing time! Rhonda, the host, was very responsive and helpful. Can't wait to go back next year!

A hidden gem.

We had a great 4 days at the home. If you are looking for a waterfront property, you ain't getting any closer then this one. Property was very clean and felt homey. Would visit again! Next time with the boat. Thanks Rhonda!
