The space
Welcome to our cozy cottage getaway!
Enjoy the sounds and sights of the Muskegon River and the bountiful wildlife that lives within it. Pull up a chair by the river or enjoy the view from the sun-soaked deck. In Hersey is a drop in point for you to kayak/canoe/tube down the river, and you can climb out into our backyard! Plenty of fish to be caught in the mighty Muskegon. Cozy firepit in the backyard ready to be gathered around for s'mores and storytelling.
You'll feel right at home in our 3-bedroom ranch set up to sleep 12 comfortably. The house itself is a two-bedroom, one bath house with a "mother-in-law suite" built next to it, adjoined by a common entry. The suite has a small kitchen, living room, laundry, as well as full bath and bedroom (perfect for those who want their privacy from the rest of the group). Two futons and a trundle bed are available for sleeping, in addition to the four beds in the house. Four exits to the backyard from the house.
Foosball table, retro arcade game, and plenty of board games for inclement weather, and outdoor toys for the sunshine. 10 miles to Big Rapids, 60 miles to Soaring Eagle Casino, 3 miles away from the White Pine trail. Bring your bicycles/ATV/UTV/Side by Side's and Motorcycles for the nearby trails! If golf is your game, there are 9 courses within 20 mi.
