Riverfront property
The property was very clean and comfortable. The check in process was a fiasco. VRBO said my payment was accepted and the property owners didn't receive notice. I didn't receive any correspondence due to limited cell service. The issue was resolved but unnecessary.

The ultimate recharge
We are in Michigan on the lakeshore and only an hour a way, but the Muskegon River is our favorite area of our great state, and stay in the area every year. This property is the most unique and perfect for a couple we’ve ever stayed at. 5/5 We went early season, for Michigan, and it was so peaceful and relaxing. It was our 24th wedding anniversary and we spent a long weekend doing NOTHING. Which was awesome. The river side porch is covered and our last night…it rained…but it was so tranquil and soothing. If this property is available early fall this year we will 100% be booking again!

We had a great 4 days at the home. If you are looking for a waterfront property, you ain't getting any closer then this one. Property was very clean and felt homey. Would visit again! Next time with the boat. Thanks Rhonda!

The place was absolutely beautiful and very clean. Spacious and was the perfect fit for us. It was all so inviting. And the views…just wonderful sitting out on the patio just a few feet from the water. Very quiet even when the boats went by.

Tubing Trip
Our Family and friends loved this location and house. It was just enough room for the eight of us. We did have to bring two air mattresses that fit in the living and dining areas. We visited for a Tubing Trip near Croton Dam which is only a few miles away. We enjoyed the outdoor patio the most. The view was beautiful and had plenty of room for all of us to enjoy. We will definitely be booking again.

Very Unique Location and Very Quiet
We had an absolutely wonderful stay! Communication with Rhonda was simple and easy from booking and all throughout our stay. The property was clean and had all the amenities we needed. There were several welcoming touches from the yummy jams and they had the Murphy bed all ready for our daughter to sleep in (which she absolutely loved!). It has just enough room for a couple or small family to spread out and relax and an up close water view from every window! You can't stay any closer to the water than this, and we enjoyed the setting immensely. It was so quiet during our stay, that I was content to just stay at the home, but when we would venture out for food, we found the local restaurants and shops had lots of yummy options. There is so much more I could say, but it was just perfect for relaxing and getting away from it all. Rick and Rhonda make communication a breeze and were very enjoyable hosts! We appreciated the boat ride, the play area for kids, the dock with easy water access, and all the little extras that made the week stand out. We definitely hope to be back one day!

R&R at the River
Highly recommend! Best out of all places we stayed. Owners were great and great communication. Property well taken care of and stocked well. So serene sitting outside with my morning coffee watching the boats go by. Located close to a lot of attractions. Loved going to Croton Dam. Can't honestly say enough good about this property and owners. We are already talking about another visit.

Such a relaxing stay here with breathtaking views of the river which is within feet from your back door. The owners had the rental stocked with anything and everything you would need. The outdoor space was beautiful, even had an outside tiki bar! We will definitely make this our fall getaway every year.

Beautiful Waterfront Property
My boyfriend and I stayed here 4 nights, the hosts were friendly and easy to communicate with. We enjoyed sitting outside each day, drinking coffee, reading, and watching all the wildlife from the patio area right at the doorstep. There was also a nice patio set on the deck, we enjoyed having a cocktail or two at the end of our day while playing some games. The place was clean, good wifi for watching our Streaming services, and the main bed was very comfortable. There were several good restaurants nearby, Red Anchor Inn had great food and they were very friendly. Newaygo Brewing Company had good pizza and a decent beer list as well. We'd definitely stay here again.

Absolutely unique, the house faces the river, the opposite shore is a tree-covered bluff. You feel like you are a thousand miles from your worries. Boating and fishing right off the porch!

There are some cosmetic imperfections to the inside of the accommodations here. That said, if you are looking to unwind this is the perfect spot. It’s peaceful & beautiful. I picked up some food at a local grocery store & spent my day relaxing on the front porch with a good novel. I enjoyed every minute of it.
