Relaxation or Adventure- both await you at Riverside Lodge on the Muskegon River

Riverside Lodge is your ticket to a summer of adventure and relaxation.

Summertime is Family Reunion Vacation time: The Muskegon river offers an invitation to a world of adventure; kayaking, tubing, and fishing start off the bottom step. The tree shaded deck is all about relaxation; enjoying the quiet with a good book, or talking to friends and family. Riverside Lodge is located near the end of a quiet, private road, the lodge has a spacious, vaulted great room with a view of the river. The huge deck has table seating for fourteen, comfortable chairs in a shady gathering area, and loungers to soak in the sun or wave at the tubers floating by.

The views on the river at sunset are amazing as is watching the wildlife - ducks, geese, a pair of herons, and the occasional eagle. Family and pet friendly with a large fenced in yard. And in the evenings, enjoy your movies in the upstairs theater or sitting around a bonfire in the firepit. . Our kitchen is fully outfitted to feed a large group with indoor table seating for up to 16 people.

Riverside Lodge is a seasonal vacation home, which opens the week before Memorial Day and ends before October.

Great River front property and dog friendly
This house had the perfect layout and was the perfect size for our party. All of my vacations revolve around my dogs, I can not say how thrilled I was that you permitted us to bring 2 dogs. They had the best time ever! They loved the river just as much as we did! We enjoyed the kayaks you supplied and we also brought our own river tubes. Kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed. The fenced in area is great for dogs that like to roam, I have to say we did not use that much as our dogs just hung out on the deck and in the river with us, but definitely a nice to have for dog owners. Communication with owners was also very easy and timely. We would rent this property again! Thanks for a great week, the weather was perfect too!

Amazing House
House was awesome, clean, spacious, best stocked vacation rental we have ever stayed in, you thought of everything! Would very highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, clean, carefree vacation rental. View of the river from the deck was relaxing and beautiful, we saw a Bald Eagle almost every day. Could not have asked for more!! Loved the kitchen and dining area, great room was perfect for game night and hanging out together. Fenced yard gave us peace of mind and a little freedom for our toddler granddaughter. Was a wonderful, memorable vacation with our adult children and our granddaughter.

The most AMAZING multi-family home on the river
This home is perfect for a large group getaway. The kitchen was so well stocked from utensils and cooking pots and pans, to spices. The deck is gorgeous with comfortable seating for all. The house is extremely spacious and with a separate wing, allows for privacy when traveling with multiple families. The hosts literally thought of everything. It is very kid friendly. We had 12 in our group and cannot wait to go back to make some more wonderful memories in the future. Thanks so much for being such wonderful hosts!!
