Cottage Bordering Hoffmaster State Park

Fun things to do in the area:
Lighthouses, Downtown Shop Fronts, Museums, US Coast Guard Festival, Cascades Color Water Show, The Luge, Mt, Garfield Motorcycle Hill Climb, Pageants, Fishing and more. My kids rarely visit without exploring the WWII Silversides Submarine Museum, which is right next to the South Pierhead Lighthouse and playground.

P.S.
This is a beloved home which our dear friends had in the family for generations and it holds very fond memories for us. We have many who return every year. Happiness and low stress are what nature is all about and we want to support that every way we can. We want to spread the happiness our family has had in this cottage.

Perfect location and a great home
This house should be booked all summer long! It was perfect for our party of 5, ranging from 11 to 80 years of age, plus our dog. Plenty of seating to host others for meals or a cocktail hour. The house was clean and well appointed inside and out. None of us detected any smell some other guests mentioned. The neighborhood is quiet and we had some nice chats while out for walks. The wooded walk to the lake was magical. Great dining and every convenience was a short drive away.

We really enjoyed our stay! The neighborhood was quiet and easy for walking plus only a short walk to Lake Michigan. The owners were easy to contact and took care of the couple of items we had!

Family Visit
We absolutely loved your home. I will definitely recommend to my friends and family who visit the Muskegon area. The walk through the woods to the beach was my daily routine. The home had everything we needed!

Family Beach Blast
We absolutely loved staying here! We came for the beach but also fell in love with the house. We will absolutely be coming back for another stay. Less than 20min from Grand Haven beach to play the day away and hang out for the singing fountain after sunset. Less than 20 min from the Muskegon high speed ferry when it was time to head back to Minnesota. The short walk to P J Hoffmaster beach from the house was difficult because of beach erosion the last couple years making the climb up and down very steep but it was still definitely worth the effort! Only negatives were we wish there was more seating to eat together with everyone and a couple people in our group thought there was a strong musty smell but the rest of us couldn’t smell it.

Nice area, but poor property
Visit was in late October. I never received check in info, I had to call for it. Upon arrival the property was poorly managed, lots of overgrowth, looked like no one had been there in years. Upon entry, stuck by a very old smell, mildew or old water damage, not sure but it was strong, even with air unifiers throughout the house. House was clean, and inside was as pictured. Wonderful location with neighborhood trail to beach and very close to Grand haven and other hiking activities.

Great location, significant issue with air quality, had to leave early
The good- the owner was responsive and reports that she is looking into the issue The access is fantastic to the state park The bad- There is something going on with the air quality. Within 12 hours, my adult daughter was in the midst of a respiratory allergic attack- swollen nasal passages, painfully. She also started to feel unwell, foggy, fatigued. By the second day, I was feeling it too, fatigue, fogginess. The third day, we opened all of the window and we all felt better. That night, rain came in with humidity increase. We kicked up the air conditioner but 3 of us felt terrible, my husband slept for 12 hours and still felt terrible. The humidity was causing water drops on the vents and the floor in the breezeway was soaking wet. We ended up leaving that 4th day and asked for a partial refund which was provided. I am not sure what is going on and hope that the owner will work to correct whatever the problem is. I am bummed out that the vacation we planned for a year had to be cut short and we didn't feel well for the majority of the time we were there.
