This is a great place to stay! The unit is in impeccable condition and communication was excellent. It was exactly the cozy vibes we needed for a weekend getaway, with lots of parks and things to do nearby. Make sure to get the wet burrito at Riverstop Saloon in Newaygo!
We had a wonderful, relaxing two night stay! The property was beautiful, clean and welcoming. Melissa, the host was fantastic about answering questions and was very quick to get back with us! Would definitely stay here again.
Stayed here for a couple of days to spend the weekend fishing for steelhead on the Muskegon River. Accommodations were great; ample space for my husband and I, well stocked, clean and fun decor! Cozy and cute. The fishing was great too! Will definitely return.
Perfect for two people who had lots of outdoor plans. We basically slept, showered, and ate breakfast here, but could have spent more time on site relaxing in the gazebo or heading down to the dock. Mini fridge and microwave were perfect for what we needed. Very clean space , with cute decor.
My husband and I stayed here for a short getaway. The place is very clean and well kept, cozy, and many amenities provided. The host is super kind. We spent most of our time fishing, we caught a ton of perch right off the pier, we also caught northerns, and bass. We used their kayaks, up and down the river, the river is beautiful and full of wildlife.
Very nice place. Clean and the outside setup was unique with lots of options for fun or relaxing time. Would recommend it to anyone staying in the area. The host was very accommodating and friendly. We drove through the night and weren't arriving until very early in the morning. They had our unit ready with lights and AC on.
What a great property this is. The grounds are well maintained and have nice amenities and beautiful sunset views of the river. Our room was very comfortable and decorated perfectly. Again, all the amenities you could ask for. The hosts have really done a great job to provide everything you could want for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. It is a great value for all you get. We're looking forward to going back.

Cute well kept property right on the river. There is one large room with queen bed, desk, table, and kitchen, and then a second small room with a queen sized bed. The bathroom is accessible from the main room. Property was pristine, and view was gorgeous
Very well-appointed and comfortable lodging. Good water access from the high Bluff, but the stairway to the water was steep and long. Not for older people the kitchen needed some attention: there was no spatula for cooking, and the coffee was lace with s’more‘s or caramel, if you’d like that sort of drink. Otherwise, easy to find and check in, and very private, even though there are four units at this location. Charming.
It is such a cute property and there are many little surprises!! We stayed here for four nights and five days and we actually hated to leave. Our little cabin like room had some luxurious touches along with some novelty touches that just made it seem extra special. Our host Melissa was very responsive and kind. Our cabin was well equipped for anything we needed. We didn't get the chance to partake in any of the outdoor activities that this property offered, but maybe next time. 😉

Lovely quiet getaway!!! Beautiful views of the river and close to great parks and quaint small towns.
Great place to stay. Everything was awesome. Clean room, great communication with host. Property was perfect. Was great to see the stars at night from the dock and sit by the fire pit. Bed was comfy. Plenty of things to do in the area. Thanks again for everything. Will definitely stay again
Such a cute and cozy place with beautiful views of the river. We enjoyed mountain biking, fishing, hiking, and kayaking during the day and loved relaxing on the outdoor swing and by the firepit at night. Melissa was so friendly and welcoming. This peaceful resort has all the right ingredients for a memorable getaway.
This place is great! Melissa was friendly and easy to work with! A cute place of peace and tranquility. We stayed in room 3, plenty of space for the 2 of us to lounge inside with lots of room to enjoy the outdoors too! Our girls weekend was a success.
This was a terrific place for the two of us to stay. Nicely furnished and spotless! And Melissa was very proactive in keeping us informed of the weather, and she checked in on us after we arrived. Will definitely stay here again!
This place was amazing! Melissa was friendly and VERY helpful. We had quite and adventure with a small kitten climbing in our bumper, but we got him out amd helped reunite him with his family! The view of the river was beautiful. And my husband was able to catch a walleye. This was the perfect spot for a mini vacation and hope to stay here again in the future.
Everything was perfect. We loved the room, it had everything we needed to feel at home. Our host was welcoming. We had bonfires, fishing, and quiet. It was amazing. We plan on staying again.
