Repeat happy visitor

This was the second time we’ve stayed in this house and we were not disappointed! It’s really nicely appointed with all of the conveniences including a big yard, lots of linens, towels, and fully stocked kitchen. It’s a quiet neighborhood and easily accessible to Pere Marquette and other attractions around the Muskegon area. We will definitely continue to stay there in future years!

Perfect for two couples

My brother and I, and our spouses, stayed here in early March 2021. Layout of house is perfect - living space, bedroom, and bathroom on each floor, so each couple had privacy. Kitchen is very well stocked - good quality pots/pans, lots of spices and condiments. We'll stay here again.

Great home for a weekend stay

We were a little concerned with the neighborhood from the direction we came from since it was a bit industrial, but suddenly we were in a nice little residential area. The house was very clean and well appointed. All the essentials were there and it is clear the owners have done a lot of work to update the house. We would definitely stay again!

Another fabulous "Always" property!

We stayed at the "Always Minor" property in June and were so pleased that booking "Always Lincoln" was an easy decision. We were totally comfortable, had everything we needed, and really enjoyed the outdoor sitting area. The owners thought of everything! You won't be disappointed renting this or any of Brenda's properties - she is ALL about the details and for seasoned VRBO renters like us, we appreciate finally getting more than what we pay for!

Perfect Family Stay

This house was the perfect size for our family. The downstairs was great for our two toddlers with two twin beds and a queen for us. My parents had their own space on the main floor. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. *Bonus- Toys, games, and books that our kids loved!!! We really enjoyed the firepit, game shed, and front porch for reading. The beach was only 5 mins away and we enjoyed taking our dog to the Kruse dog beach. Highly recommend Lewis Farms for kids, so much for the kids to do. The Frosty Cove was a close bike ride for our ice cream treats. We really enjoyed all the restaurants, putt-putt, submarine tour, boat cruise, and duck pin bowling. This has been our favorite house and spot in MI so far! Thank you for a wonderful summer vacation!

Close to Lake Michigan Beaches!

It was a delight for my Mom, me and my two chihuahuas to stay at this property. The bungalow was extremely clean and the fenced in back yard was an added plus. The renovation of the bungalow was very well done and everything was well stocked. The air conditioning was fantastic as it was a very hot and humid week in July! We wanted to explore the Lake Michigan beaches nearby and were not disappointed! We especially enjoyed Muskegon State Park’s beach. The only suggestion I would make is to add curtains to the kitchen window. The house next door is close by and curtains would allow for more privacy. Overall, a fantastic experience! Elaine

Beautiful Interiors and great backyard

Our two families enjoyed this beautiful space - inside and out. The backyard was amazing - a fire pit, space for the dog to run, a shed with jenga for our kiddo to play in. The interiors were very modern and clean. Everything you could want! Sleeping was a little hard for us with folks sleeping downstairs hearing even quiet sounds upstairs (bring a sound machine if you'd got a sensitive kid), the beds being a little firm for some of us (we missed our box springs) and the neighbors playing loud music late one night (we asked them to turn it down and they totally understood). These were minor though in comparison to the beautiful space that this is! Thanks for a great stay, Brenda!!!

Perfect getaway

This is a fabulous property and the photos online do not do it justice. More importantly Brenda has spent a lot of time ensuring that her guests have everything. There's even an oops I forgot cabinet. We had everything we needed, soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, makeup wipes, ear buds etc. She left us some snacks and chocolate, coffee, creamers, tea etc. it was lovely to relax in the covered porch and have the sun warm us. The kids slept in the basement bedroom which is HUGE!. We had our dog with us and Brenda left dog bowls, blankets etc for the dog too. Very very happy with our stay. We used this home as a base for Muskegon, PJ Hoffmaster and Grand Haven state parks. Stay here without a worry. Thanks for a wonderful stay Brenda Additional info: It's driving distance to a Meijers which is a much better grocery store than the Save-a-lot and has ready sandwiches etc for your hikes.

This is our second stay in Muskegon and specifically our second stay at one of Brenda’s properties. We had an incredible vacation! We took the dogs to the beach every day since it was so close, followed by grilling and exploring the area. The house was beautiful and fully stocked with everything we needed, and she even provided extra for the dogs so they would feel comfortable. We will be booking again!

Best experience we’ve had with a VRBO rental

We stayed here for our son‘s wedding along with some family. The house was absolutely beautiful, just as described with beautiful artwork, new furniture and appliances, lots of amenities, a well appointed kitchen and beautiful yard with lots of furniture and a fire pit. Overall, the experience was excellent. We have stayed in several VRBO homes and this was by far the nicest place we’ve been in. We would highly recommend this property. It was also close to the historic downtown area and the nature walk, which is a great place to go for a walk or a run, as well has Lake Michigan.

Everything about this place is exactly as in the listing - very clean, nicely decorated, everything you need is included. We loved using the beach chairs and beach umbrella, the yard was lovely and perfect for our dog and us to hang outside, and it was great to have the shed to keep our bikes in. Love that it was dog friendly and the host provides furniture covers as well and other dog accessories! Would highly recommend this home!

Always Lincoln 1

Great little house, layout, furniture all very nice. I really liked the front porch where I could sit in the morning and drink coffee. House was extremely clean, everything worked and I have never stayed in another rental that was as well supplied. Anything you forgot to bring Brenda has you covered, anything. Nice backyard for kids, lp grill and fire pit are a nice touch older quiet neighborhood. Our first time in Muskegon was a pleasant surprise not knowing what to expect. Clean city, well landscaped very walkable and many beautiful old buildings to visit. The city and surrounding area offered way more entertainment opportunities than we could take advantage of during our four night stay.
