Whether you're looking to enjoy the great outdoors, take in the sights of the 29+ mile Dragon Trail, spend time with family, or just hide out in some solitude, our cottage has just what you need. Our cottage is a spacious one-bedroom home, with accommodations to sleep up to 6 people. Additional sleeping arrangements include a queen-sized futon, two single rollaway beds, and a queen-sized air mattress. Enjoy morning coffee and evening cocktails on the sizeable front porch. In the backyard, you'll find a fire pit and a small supply of firewood for evening campfires. The River Bend Cottage is located in a friendly neighborhood, quiet at night and lively during the day. Access to the 29+ mile Dragon Trail is a tenth of a mile away, and while you can see the river banks from our home, full access to a day of boating/kayaking on the Muskegon River is about a quarter mile away through Big Bend Campground (daily or seasonal pass is required). If you're bringing a boat, there are several options for you to launch nearby (Big Bend Campground, Brower Park, Hardy Dam County Marina, Sandy Beach, to name a few). Please note that our cottage is located in a small neighborhood association that provides homeowners with a small greenspace & docks within walking distance, but these amenities are for homeowners only. A park pass ($7/day or $35/year) from Big Bend Campground (10 minute walk) will allow you full access to the river. In addition to the cottage, you'll also have access to a shed with various outdoor "necessities" like yard games, chairs, etc. For your convenience, if you're bringing bikes, kayaks, etc., you're welcome to store/lock them in the shed. We live less than 5 minutes away and can be available within a reasonable amount of time, should a situation arise. Please note that we have an office in the detached garage. In the unlikely event that we need to access the office during your stay, we will attempt to notify you beforehand, and we'll be considerate of your space & privacy. #michigantrails #mountainbiking #fattirebike #hardydam #boating #hotboat #hiking ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the marina ### Things to do - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73530000/73522700/73522691/664731a8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming completely updated cottage with water views of Croton Pond.
