About this property

Blissfully Philo! 5 minutes to Lake Michigan Beach. [Lakeside] [Dogs Welcome]

  • Stop scrolling...your cozy fall escape in Muskegon is here!

    Minutes from Pere Marquette Beach, our dog-friendly bungalow is built for sweater weather. Leafy bike trails lead straight to downtown breweries, while vibrant Lake Michigan sunsets set the evening vibe. Wind down by the private fire pit with warm cider, or whip up a feast in the full kitchen.

    Flannel-approved, pup-friendly, and adventure-ready. Let’s get you to the lake!

Cute house in quiet neighborhood

The hosts were easy to contact and very responsive. My children loved the toys provided and the skateboard swing out back. I appreciated the quality kitchen that had all of the cooking supplies on needed.

Great Location

We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the house. The appliances in the kitchen were all new. Nearby Seyferth Park was great for my friends to walk their dog. Pere Marquette Park, Kruse Park (dog beach) and Dune Harbor Park are all near by. We are definitely considering a future trip.

Peacful neighborhood and so close to the beach

We had a wonderful time staying here! My inlaws brought their dog and we were only 5 minutes away from a small inland dog beach which had few people. We were also only less than 8 minutes from lake MI which also had a dog beach! The neighborhood was very peaceful and the house was very clean and extremely well stocked! Our hostess was very good at communicating. And very genrous! We couldn't be happier with our stay! v

This home is so beautifully decorated! Everything was so clean and organized. The owner did an amazing job remembering every detail! Four adults and 2 kids were very comfortable here. The property itself is in a quiet neighborhood with super close proximity to beaches and restaurants (just a short drive). Our group enjoyed the fire ring in the backyard as well, and my kids loved the swing! Although the weather did not cooperate for us, I would definitely rent here again to see more of what Muskegon has to offer. It is a very affordable lovely little home. Thank you for a great stay!

Great place to stay! So comfortable for our family. Kitchen was so nice. Stocked very well with everything you need to prepare a meal. Smart TV was so nice to have as well, didn’t even need our Roku. The back yard was a good size for some frisbee, we didn’t get a chance to use the fire pit, but how nice to have. Beds were comfy and the host was very responsive. We would absolutely stay here again! Great house for a great price.

House was clean and neat, great communication. One bathroom and no access to laundry is a downfall for a house by the beach.

Past bloom flowers at the back door steps were in the way somewhat, could be cut back. And a grab bar in tub would be helpful for seniors and everyone ! But we had a great time & the house inside was lovely !!

Philo

While the neighborhood lacks a “wow” factor it is quiet and walkable. Our cottage was cute as a bug and very accommodating. We did have need for a clothes line after the beach to dry our towels along with an outdoor grill, but other than that our stay was awesome.

Cute place near the beach

Our family of 6 stayed for 3 nights and were very comfortable. The house is located super close to the beach and anything else you might need. Love that they provided beach towels and a cooler. Only negative was no washer/dryer which we knew up front, but this makes it difficult to dry beach towels/swim suits since there’s also no where to really hang anything outside. A clothesline outside would be ideal but we made due with placing items over the chairs near the fire pit. The neighborhood is very peaceful and had a big park down the street that our boys enjoyed as well. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Burning Foot Bash

As a girl's weekend away for the Burning Foot Beer festival will be one that will be hard to beat. The property and host Katherine we both amazing. The house was cozy and chic while Katherine checked in to ensure we had everything we needed. The simple touches of chocolate and "in case you forgot anything box" made it feel like home. Five stars and will stay again if we return to the west side!
