Photos and Description of the Muskegon vacation house rental 3 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, 1 half bathroom, sleeps 7

This unique and spacious home is located just a few yards from Muskegon's Pere Marquette Beach on Lake Michigan. The historic Bluffton neighborhood is just off the beaten path and surrounded by forested dunes. Walk out your door each day and follow the Bluffton Beachwalk. You're on the most beautiful and cleanest beach on Lake Michigan. Dr. Beach from the Detroit News Reporter, writes after visiting Pere Marquette Beach, 'really great sand, very wide beaches, and high sand dunes. The water is very good, very clear. All the amenities are nearby, a nice beach pavilion with concessions, shade trees, a lot of free parking...really well planned out.' Walking to this described beach from the cottage is less than 5 minutes. Several playground apparatus are across the street. Sitting around the wood stove outside & watching the sun set behind the dune is a perfect day's end after dinner is cooked on the grill. This cottage is nicely laid out for all to gather or have some privacy.

Just outside your door is a nature trail to a secret bench for a private sunset over Pere Marquette Beach on Lake Michigan. A short walk in the early morning along Edgewater St. & Lake Shore Dr. affords you some beautiful sunrises over Muskegon Lake. A few yards from your door is a bike trail that is part of the Shoreline Trail System. Walk to sailing regattas and evening races or daily volleyball league play and tournaments. Walk to lunch or dinner at Captain Jack's Bar & Grill with a top-notch view of Muskegon's harbor entrance & beach volleyball games. Just as close is Dockers Fish House & Lounge facing over Harbour Towne Yacht Basin. Hours could be spent watching the boat traffic going through the channel between Lake Michigan & Muskegon Lake. While there, a visit to the World War II submarine, Silversides, gives a peek in to our nation's naval history. Besides the playgrounds nearby, there are several more very close. Staying in Plum Hollow is almost like being on the lake.

Excellent place to stay for beach vacation

mother of six Olmsted Falls, Ohio
Review Submitted: July 12, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Our family has stayed at the Denman's Cottage 3 times in the last 5 years. We plan to return again, many times. It is a close walk to the beach and right across the street from an elementary school with swings, basketball court and new playground equipment. Stan and Annie are gracious hosts and are quick to get anything we need. House is clean and the property well laid out. Herb garden is a plus for those who love to cook. We would highly recommend this property to friends and family looking for a summer cottage near the white sandy beaches on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Jo-Elle Quantico, Virginia
Review Submitted: October 8, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Plum Hollow was the perfect rental for my family while we were in Muskegon visiting family and friends. We had 3 adults and 2 toddlers who all felt completely comfortable and at home during our entire stay. Stan and Annie were excellent hosts. The house was immaculate. Everything you could have needed (and then some) was provided, and Stan and Annie were extremely helpful with any questions we had. Not only do we hope to have the pleasure of staying here again in the future but we would, without reservation, recommend this rental to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay while in this beautiful part of Michigan. It was just like home! Thanks, Stan and Annie!!!

Home Away from Home

Jim & Shar Elkhart IN
Review Submitted: August 31, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We had a great time at Plum Hollow. Stan & Annie went far beyond our expectations in providing all our needs. Essentially everything we needed was already in place upon our arrival. The cottage was "very clean" & comfortable. Stan provided so much information in advance, it made planning our activities so easy. The personal touches were evident in the fresh muffins on the dining room table & sweet cherries in the frig. Every need was met in the cottage & outside(lawn furniture, firewood, beech chairs, etc).

The beach really is only a 5 minute walk & is very clean & not crowded. The cottage was such a great location for all our side trips. Our grandkids enjoyed riding bikes & playing on the playground
at the school across the street.

Stan & Annie have really gone the extra mile to make Plum Hollow a home away from home.

We definitely plan to visit the cottage again. We just needed more time to enjoy all that the area has to offer.

We will definitely recommend the cottage to friends & family.

Thanks, Stan & Annie, for sharing your "home away from home".

Great location!

Val and Kim Quincy, Illinois
Review Submitted: August 24, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Plum Hollow was everything Stan and Annie advertised it to be and more. The property was exceptionally clean and stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The location was great with the beach a short walk away. We were delighted with all the personal touches Stan and Annie put into getting the house ready for our visit (we especially enjoyed the fresh cherries in the frig!!). I highly recommend this property.

Felt right at home

tplusj95 Macomb, MI
Review Submitted: August 24, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
I highly recommend Plum Hollow. It is in a wonderful location on the beautiful west side of the state. We enjoyed the beautiful, clean beach (truly five minutes away), bike paths, adorable used bookstore, diner, candy store in town, and the huge ice cream sundaes at the Frosty Cove. We only wish we had more time! Thank you for providing information on the many activities in your area. The day it rained we found Rainbow Ranch by looking through the pamphlets you had out. The kids went horseback riding for the first time and are still talking about it!

The cottage comfortably accomodated our family of six. Stan and Annie were so very helpful from the first phone call. They really pay attention to every detail and offer so many nice touches. The home was very clean and the layout was perfect. The "Malt Shop" was a great place to take off shoes and play cards at night. One day we were able to grill on the gas grill they provided and eat out on the picnic table. Everything I needed was provided including the little things I wished I had bought and sure enough were stocked in the kitchen.

Thank you. We truly enjoyed our stay.
