About this property

L2 - 5BR Fall Retreat Fire Pit, Fenced Yard, 1 Mile to Lake Michigan Beach

  • Full Fall Listing Description — Ready to Paste
    Settle into a rocking chair on the front porch, a warm drink in hand, as the crisp fall air rolls in off Lake Michigan. The neighborhood is quiet. The leaves are turning. And this is exactly where you are supposed to be right now.

    Welcome to Always Lincoln 2 — a spacious, character-filled home in Muskegon's beloved Lakeside neighborhood, just one mile from Lake Michigan and Pere Marquette Beach. With five bedrooms, two baths, and room for up to 8 guests, this is the fall gathering place your whole group has been looking for.

    Inside, vintage charm and modern comfort live side by side. Four bedrooms each feature a queen bed, giving every guest their own comfortable retreat. A fifth bedroom with two twin beds is perfect for the kids, and a fully equipped kitchen, open living area, and dining space bring everyone together naturally. Spin a record on the record player, let the little ones lose themselves in the kids' corner with toys and a mini kitchen, and settle into a home with real personality in every room.

    But step outside and the magic really begins.

    Out back, the fully fenced yard becomes your private fall escape — gather around the fire pit on cool evenings, grill on the patio, play outdoor games, and let the kids and dogs run freely in the safety of the fenced yard. There is nothing quite like a crisp fall night around a fire pit with the people you love most.

    We have made sure everything you need is already here. Beach chairs, baby gear, and outdoor games are all provided so you can arrive and start enjoying immediately. And because we know pets are family too, up to two dogs are welcome with no pet fee and a fully fenced yard to give them the freedom they deserve.

    The location is perfect for fall exploring. Pere Marquette Beach and the Lake Michigan shoreline are just one mile away — stunning in the fall and never crowded. Downtown Muskegon is three miles down the road. Muskegon State Park is a short 20-minute drive with incredible fall color, and the Muskegon Luge and Sports Complex is just around the corner for year-round adventure.

    Fall weekends, October getaways, family reunions, group retreats — Always Lincoln 2 is ready for all of it. Come experience Muskegon at its most beautiful season.


    — A Little Backstory —

    There is something special about a home that has already lived a full life long before you ever walk through the door. This home did not arrive by delivery truck. It arrived as pages in a Sears catalog — flipped through, dreamed about, and eventually chosen. Piece by piece it made its journey here by rail and truck, unloaded into the yard like a giant puzzle waiting to be solved.

    What followed was not just construction. It was craftsmanship, patience, and vision. And here it still stands — updated and refreshed over the years, but never stripped of its character. The original woodwork, the front porch, the layout restored to the way it was first imagined — all of it still here, still telling the story.

    The small dings and worn edges are not flaws. They are reminders of the many lives lived here. Doors that have opened thousands of times. Floors that have carried generations of footsteps.

    Now it is your turn to be part of its story.

Perfect for our weekend in town

We stayed in this beautiful home for the weekend of my nieces wedding. It fit our families needs perfectly, gave us common areas to catch up and enough room to spread out. I loved the labels on the cabinets so we knew right where to find everything. They thought of everything you could possibly need or forget during your stay! Definitely recommend and would stay here again!

Fall Stay

Great place to stay. Close to downtown and beaches. We were happy to see the complimentary snacks and essentials. Plenty of clean towels and spotless home. Dogs felt welcome but, I could not tell that dogs stayed there before. I also noticed a Juice Box to recharge your electric vehicle, so nice to see in spite of not using it. I would stay again

Love this house and host

Beautifully decorated and spotless! Brenda anticipated every possible need from toothbrushes to condiments to really good coffee. The beds were very comfortable and all 4 of us (74 year old ladies ) were thrilled with our stay. Two bathrooms made getting ready in the morning easy. Our only disappointment was not being able to use that wonderful firepit - we were too busy. We would absolutely stay here again.

Brenda is by far the hostess with the mostest! She has a stocked kitchen (all you need is food), comfortable beds, games for kids and adults, highchair and portable crib for the baby. This house was decorated so tastefully, and the outside patio/yard was perfect for our family, including the dog! Oh, and it was so clean! Will absolutely be staying here again next year! :)

What a great place. Not a disappointment. Total of 8 family members and there was space for all. VERY clean and all the amenities. The decor was very cute. The privacy fenced in yard patio was wonderful. Nice front porch to sit when it was raining. Had to reach out to the property manager with questions and the response was immediate. Easy walking to the Frosty Cove! Great family get away.
