Cozy home on the river. Many thoughtful and kind touches including snacks. Our host was kind, informative and quick to reply. Rules and instructions easy to find and follow. Only a short drive to Big Rapids and the campus of Ferris State University. Was nice to be here for graduation weekend and would gladly stay again.

Kevin and Gail’s home was a treat! It was so relaxing to sit and enjoy the lovely river view. My husband, mother and two young daughters stayed and had an absolutely wonderful time- everything we could have needed was inside and the hosts were so friendly and clear in communication with us! The snack basket was a real hit!I could not have asked for a better family weekend away! So thankful

Staying at this peaceful waterfront home was an absolute dream. The description is spot on—the house is situated right on the Muskegon River, and the views from the back deck are so peaceful. We loved spending our mornings sipping coffee and watching the water, and the sunsets were incredible.The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We especially appreciated the cozy living room and the well-stocked kitchen. The location felt private and serene, yet it was a quick drive to local shops and many parks.If you're looking for a tranquil escape with stunning natural beauty, this is the place. We can't wait to come back

Everything was better than pictured!

We enjoyed this home so much that we stayed home more than we had planned. It was clean, very well stocked and a beautiful location. The grill was wonderful. We enjoyed the deer prints on the beach area each day and the privacy the home provided. Probably one of the best VRBO locations we have been to.

Perfect!!!

This was absolutely the BEST experience I've ever had with a VRBO. We loved the place, felt right at home, had a relaxing visit, and super-easy communication with the host. Loved it so much that I'm planning a return visit with my husband in the fall. Thank you, Gail, for your 24/7 availability, and your true sense of caring that your guests are having an enjoyable experience :-)

Felt like HOME

Our stay at this riverside beauty was peaceful and comfortable; and it felt like home. I can see why all of the reviews are a 10 out of 10. We whole heartedly agree. I especially appreciated the soft linens and new towels. We hosted a Father’s Day lunch for immediate family and the deck was perfect! We will definitely stay again.

Never before have we stayed at a property where the hosts were more accommodating. From the snacks left to the "just leave everything and we will take care of it.There really needs to be more stars to give for hosts like Kevin and Gail.

Perfect Lake House Weekend

This house was exactly what my friends & I were looking for to host a fall kayaking weekend. The host was extremely accommodating, even let us check in early. They were quick to respond to all questions and even left us snacks 😃. The house is perfectly set up, comfortable and located close to town.

Exactly what we needed

This property is a perfect arrangement of everything you could possibly need. You will not find a cleaner house. The property owner was surprisingly responsive which was nice. I have zero complaints or even recommendations on how our stay could be better. The kayaks were great. The location was great. We loved it.
