Great summer vacation spot!

Ed was a great host, and the house was very clean and tidy. I recommend it for any family/guest looking for a place in a quiet community within a 10 minute walk from the beach on Lake Michigan.

Fantastic Location AND Style

This beautifully decorated cottage close to Lake Michigan and Muskegon Lake is a wonderful gathering place for an evening of ‘smores in the great fire pit or has plenty of space in the beautifully appointed living room for game night.

Beach vacation

Well located and convenient house close to Pete Marquette beach, walking or biking distance. Ed provided some bikes and was a great host, also offered kayaks. Muskegon is an under the radar beach town, lots of stuff to do and not as packed as others. Short drive to downtown and more restaurants, nice fire ring there, overall a great time and a great home base.

Great!!

The location is great! Just a couple minute walk to the beach. Also short drive to downtown Muskegon for brewery/pizza, etc. Accomodations nice. Very clean and comfortable. Nice firepit and grill in the back. They were very accommodating; brought us bikes and were available for any questions or concerns. Would stay again without hesitation.

We absolutely loved the cottage!

The cottage is adorable and spotless! The furnishings were lovely and perfect for our group. The kitchen is great with lovely cabinetry and appliances. Everything we could possibly need. The bathrooms were also modern with great water pressure. My favorite part was hanging out on the red Adirondack chairs. We could not have found a better spot! Thank you!

Comfortable cottage

We were impressed with the house...kitchen and bathroom were nicely supplied and it was perfect for 3 of us The house was very clean, airy, perfect location for walking to the yacht club. The only thing I would say as a warning, and this won't matter to most, but our friend is 6'7", and the charm of the low ceiling upstairs was not so charming for him. Ed was great to work with, everything was in great working order. Would stay again and make time to use the fire pit.

Great Fall Break Destination

Everything described about the Redbird cottage was spot on! We arrived to find a property that overall, was very clean, and inviting. As my caption states, we chose the Redbird to enjoy the start of the Fall season in Muskegon. The cottage was perfect for our family of three. From this location, we were able to travel to some of the areas wine tasting vineyards, and places to eat. We enjoyed watching the Michigan vs. Michigan State football game on the 55" flat screen television! After the game, we were able to go outside to enjoy the fire pit. Jane provided great communication before, during, and after our visit. I would, and already have, recommended this property to some of our friends, and co-workers. We look forward to a possible visit in warmer months, so as to enjoy the lakes, and other warm weather activities.

Anniversary Trip

My husband and I vacationed along the MI coast on our honeymoon. So for our 20 year anniversary we chose a long weekend to stay and revisit many of same places and discover some new ones. The neighborhood was quiet and off the beaten path. The manager was very communicative and had great suggestions for activities and restaurants. The location was convenient for explorations of Muskegon, St. Joseph, South Haven, Grand Haven and Grand Rapids. We had a great trip and would stay here again in the future.
