There were 10 girls staying in the cottage and it was perfect for lounging on the back porch, reading a book, and listening to the live music from the restaurant across the street. This cottage is perfectly located near Michigan Adventures, the beach, Ruth Anne’s ice cream shop, and more! Check in/out process was simple and the host went above and beyond to accommodate some special requests. I would highly recommend booking a stay here! ##### Katelynn H.

We only ended up with 4 staying but would have easily accomodated more and had pretty much everything we needed. Checkin/out was simple and the cottage was clean and well stocked. Good communication with the host and there was a very nice welcome basket of snacks upon arrival which we all enjoyed. Love the Bear Lake Tavern across the street. We would deficitely stay here again. ##### Jodie C. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa B.

We were a group of 7 and I specifically sought out a property with a variety of separate sleeping areas. This was a beautiful home with a lovely yard overlooking a boat dock leading to Muskegon Lake. We loved sitting on the porch outside watching the boats pass by. In addition to linens and towels for the house, this property came with additional beach towels which we used when visiting Lake Michigan. An amazing surprise waiting for us was a welcome basket with lots of snacks and some sparkling wine! The welcome basket was something I have not experienced in any other VRBO! ##### Lisa B.
