Very clean, quiet, and charming. I enjoyed the quiet and having everything available that we could possibly need (even spare readers, thank you!!!) for a weekend of R&R. Dogs LOVED the fenced yard to run free and the host was very responsive. I would stay here again if returning to the area. Just a lovely and peaceful stay, Thank you!

The house was perfect. Brenda has thought of everything you could possibility need while away from home! The house and backyard were beautiful. It was only a mile from the beach which was great for kids and dogs and there was a park just down the street.

House is in nice shape. Great back yard. Not quickly walkable to the beach, but a short drive. Would be nice to have some beach chairs available. Overall a nice stay!

The house and yard are very nice! Great fenced in yard for our dog. Only having one bathroom is the only downside. We had five people in the house and we made it work. Loved how the house was decorated! Would stay again!

We loved staying here! The fully fenced in yard was great and very private. We travel with our 2 large dogs who loved to play in the yard. Beds are very comfortable and the decor of the home is beautiful. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook a full meal. Location is great close to parks and the lake. Just a short drive to all attractions.

The property was wonderful - so clean, very tastefully decorated, plenty of space. The host really went the extra mile thinking of everything we might need. The patio and yard were wonderful for eating outdoors and letting the dogs run. (The property is very dog friendly.) Just a short drive to the beach. Could not recommend this property more!

This is the third house of the property owners we have stayed at. House is very clean, has all the amenities that are needed. Layout of the house and furniture is great, very up to date. Love that all properties have fenced in yards for our two little dogs. Will continue to use these properties on our visits back to Muskegon to see family.

Nice little house but roomy. We had 7 people and 2 dogs but didn't feel like we were running into each other all the time. 1 bathroom was a little tough at times but overall not bad.
