Cute cabin on the river
The Kirk family of 5 had an amazing short getaway and loved every minute of our stay. The cabin was perfect for us. We used the row boat to fish and caught a few nice bass. We used the canoe, kayaks & peddle boat cruise around & explore the Muskegon river. We loved having a bonfire each night and roasting s’mores. We went into Newago one day and highly eating at the New-ago Brewery. Played some cards, bags, and just relaxed. Kitchen is fully stocked; note, just need to bring keurig coffee cups. We used the grill for hamburgers & chicken and loved eating on the deck. Can’t say enough great things about this place.

Perfect little getaway....
It was a cute little house that was perfect for our family of 4. House was very clean. Area is quiet and the water was really clear. Not that much boat traffic either. Kids had fun jumping off the pier and using the paddle boat. Owners were quick to answer any questions that we had. Would definitely stay again.

Lake house
My family and I enjoyed our stay. It was a small house, byt perfect for our family. We enjoyed the lake with the kayaks and paddle boat. The wild life we got to see was beautiful. There was a family of bats that we got to listen to and watch play at night a couple times. The kids enjoyed everything. Thanks again!!

Amazing waterfront privacy
Very clean property with waterfront access down a flight of stairs built into the bluff. Kayaks, etc easily accessible and ready to launch with plenty of space to lay out and read on the dock. Fire pit and covered eating area overlooking the water were perfect for every meal! Owners were very easy to communicate with. Will definitely be visiting again!

Perfect Getaway
This property continues our string of great luck when it comes to VRBO properties. Right by the water, perfect spot for bluegill fishing, and exactly as advertised. You are also close enough to Big Rapids to go and get some supplies. Definitely recommend if you are looking to get away.

Owners were Easily assessable. The location is absolutely gorgeous everything listed was available to us and working. The only minor complaint I have is the address given on the email is different than the address of the cabin on the telephone pole.

Relaxing few days... We enjoyed the rustic but updated cottage. Kayaking was great! Really everything we needed in a somewhat remote location but not to far from civilization. I would do it again!

Just What We Needed
This property checked everything on our wish list and more!!! We were hoping for queen size beds, a full kitchen, location for outdoor grilling and bonfires, a place on the water with boats and room for our family to visit and play. Not only did this property offer all of this, but there were also outdoor games, privacy with all of the mature trees surrounding the location, an amazing 4th of July light show over the water and a boat for everyone in our group. Bonus: Our 10 year old learned that he loved kayaking and made many memories doing so over our stay.

Very clean well kept cottage with an amazing view. Visited in mid November but I'm certain this would be a great summer getaway with the provided water toys and dock access. Location is close to plenty of fishing and state forest access areas.
