Castaways Cottage #5

Do you fondly recall visiting your grandparent's cabin as a child? Relive that nostalgic feeling here at Castaways Cottages. This cottage on Croton Pond offers beautiful views, fishing and recreation on the Muskegon River. The cottage is just minutes away from tubing, kayaking, hiking & biking trails, and snowmobile fun. After a day of adventure, it's refreshing to return "home" to relax in this cozy & clean cottage. Local area has restaurants, grocery store, and gas station.

Cute little place with amazing views!

I stay here all of the time when I can get to MI. Bob and Joy are wonderful owners! So much to do in the area! State parks and you have to float down the Muskegon River with Wisner Rents Canoes. They have float and rafts also! The cottages are small but thats all you need! You are only there to shower and sleep. Wal- Mart is a good 20-30 min away north or south. Two good restaurants to eat at. Diner between the dams and Driftwood Bar. Cute little grocery store down the road. Chilly water all of the time!
