Had a wonderful stay. The house was very clean and well stocked. Location was also very good to go to the beach or the other sites around Muskegon. My granddaughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the game room and the outside frisbee golf.

Thank you We're so happy you enjoyed your stay and found the home clean, comfortable, and well stocked. It's great to hear the location made it easy to explore Muskegon and spend time at the beach. We're especially glad you and your granddaughter had fun in the game room and enjoyed the backyard frisbee golf together. Those special memories are what vacations are all about! We'd love to welcome you back anytime.

This was a very nice stay for our family. The game room was nice for kids who got up early because it was on the other side of the house so didn’t wake up others. Close to everything we wanted to do. And very well furnished especially the kitchen!

Excellent visit. Property checked all the right boxes. Dogs loved the backyard. They barked a bit over the squirrels but that’s just what dogs do. Rooms were all comfortable. The labeling on all areas throughout the home was very helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this property again when visiting the area.

Yearly Summer Family Vacation

Every summer for the last 5 years, our family has picked a new beachfront town to explore along Lake Michigan. Muskegon was wonderful and offered so much! From easy access to multiple beautiful beaches, state parks, and bike trails, our family loved our time here. The property was perfect for a family and even dogs! Brenda has everything you need and organized to perfection. Our kids loved the playroom so much!

So. Many. Amenities! Everywhere you go there are little touches that make it so enjoyable. The house was immaculately clean, well designed and decorated and just lovely, even in the winter! Barbara was fabulous to work with as well, ready with recommendations and very communicative. You’re close to everything and on a lovely street, with Lake Michigan just a couple minutes away. If you’re looking for a FABULOUS pet friendly spot, that is absolutely lovely (kitchen, furniture, one floor living, great location, great common areas) and has a super host, this is it!!

The thought of traveling 18hours with 2 kids under the age of 5, and staying in a hotel was stressful. I was more than satisfied with this property. EVERYTHING a family could need was present. Kids cups and plates, high chairs, a game room with kids toys were very appreciated. This property has amentities for everyone even if you weren't traveling with kids.We are planning to stay again this summer to enjoy the outdoor amenities.The only thing I wish was that there was another bathroom .

Quiet neighborhood, close to beach

The property is within walking distance to Muskegon Lake and the quaint business district of Lakeside. Pere Marquette beach is fabulous, and only a 5 minute drive away. We had a fantastic stay, and our host, Brenda, is top notch. The home is tastefully renovated, and the large fenced yard is perfect for your furry best friend.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda

Host profile image
I love being a host because it allows me to bring each home to life and share the character of the community I live in. Being local, I have a deep connection to these homes and the Muskegon area. My husband and I are passionate about thoughtful design and creating spaces where guests can truly relax and feel at home. Every home is prepared with care, comfort, and a sense of belonging in mind.

What makes this property unique

This home surprises guests in the best way. With tall 10-foot ceilings and a thoughtful layout, it feels more spacious and comfortable than you’d expect. What began as a smaller home has been reimagined into three inviting bedrooms, a larger, more functional kitchen and bathroom, and the convenience of main-level laundry.

Outdoor living is a highlight here. The expansive backyard patio features a BBQ grill, flat-top grill, and plenty of seating, making it an easy place to gather and relax. The yard itself is large and open—perfect for games, play, or letting dogs stretch their legs.

This is a home designed for unwinding, spending time together, and enjoying both indoor comfort and outdoor space with ease.
