Lovely stay

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was very clean and decorated so nicely. The owners were wonderful about communicating with us. We were an hour from the beach and very close to hiking trails.

Excellent vacation!

The house was clean, the location is excellent, and Bob did a great job communicating. I stayed at this house with some friends and spent each day mountain biking the Dragon trail. All of us were happy with our stay and would definitely come back again!

Another Great Stay

Charming Cottage with plenty of room for 2 friends. A convenient place for 2 Fishermen to stay with access to numerous Muskegon River boat ramps, and to a number of restaurants in nearby Newaygo. Our second stay, and the host, Robert could not be more accommodating. Thanks again for great stay.

Family Reunion

We stayed here as part of family get together. The cottage is clean and comfortable. The driftwood bar and grill across the street can be a bit noisy on summer weekends, not the fault of the owner. Lovely deck out front. Be sure to read the check out cleaning procedures in advance.

Annual Fall Getaway

This year our getaway took us to Newaygo/Croton area. We rented this cottage because it was near the Newaygo State Park. The cottage was very nice and exceeded our expectations. Plenty of room. Kitchen stocked very well Close to a small grocery store, tavern and a coulpe restaurants. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing you place.

A Very Comfortable Cabin

Great spot for 2 fishing buddies to hang out while we were on our semi-annual fishing excursion to the Newaygo area. Well equipped with just about everything you could need. We'll consider it again in 2023.

November trip

Great place to stay. We fished in the rain all day and everything was soaked when we got back. Luckily, we had access to a clothes dryer, dry clothes for the next day. Something to think about when booking if you are going to be outdoors also.

Amazing Getaway

I would highly recommend this beautiful cottage. Amazing location, if you love fishing or boating. The owners are super nice and reply to your requests or questions in a timely manner. The one down side is the phone and internet service, it's not the greatest but you are there to relax not to lose yourself in social media.

Still a great place to stay

We stayed here before and it was perfect again. Very clean, comfortable and close to our family. Only concern is that Soffit lights outside come on at 10:15 at night. They shine in the bedroom. You can turn them off, but they reset each day.
