Highly recommend. ##### Todd S.

The rooms are laid out perfectly for a large family! Our teens thought the basement area was so cool but ended up sleeping upstairs. The kitchen is beautiful, loved the coffee options. We got in late and we’re unable to grab groceries but thankfully grub hub DOES deliver! The home is equipped with everything needed. We definitely battled it out over several games of uno.

Person I messaged was very kind and quick to respond. It was a decent drive to and from a grocery store and everywhere that I was going. Snow was beautiful, woke up watching turkeys go through the yard. ##### Madison Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve P. 17 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Check-in was easy and kitchen facilities were hr2, had everything we needed ##### Steve P.

It was a perfect location, quiet, clean, and well stocked with all the essentials. My kids loved the large yard with plenty of toys and being surrounded by huge trees. We loved being just a few miles from Muskegon State Park, where the beach was lovely and clean. We would love to return one day. ##### Robin O.

We were impressed by how well stocked everything was, we had everything we needed! The neighborhood was very quiet and the road nearby not too busy. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad although there isn’t much of a shoulder so keep that in mind. A couple cars were very inconsiderate so we ended up driving most of the time, there is a small area for parking. We had fun exploring other beaches nearby as well. Thank you to the owners for sharing your home! ##### Faith R.

There were a lot of special extras I do not typically find-snack tower, bananas, bagels, english muffins, and the best was root beer and ice cream for floats!!! Very clean! ##### Carie C.
