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.

Reviews for this vacation house rental in Muskegon, Michigan

Muskegon vacation house rental rating 55/5
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.

Review Submitted: June 2, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
The house was one of the most comfortable and clean (very clean!) vacation rentals we've ever had. Stan and Annie were warm and welcoming, but also sensitive about when to leave guests to themselves. Our visit was in May, during the spring migration, and we saw many birds at the feeder outside the house. We enjoyed the American Impressionists exhibit at the Muskegon Art Museum and recommend a quick stop at the town library to see its stunningly beautiful stained glass windows (and check your email). The house proved a great stepping off point for day-trips to Duck Lake, Ludington State Park, and the Loda Lake Wildflower Sanctuary to the north, and a lot of wineries to the south. Try the Sardine Room - we had both a dinner and a breakfast there and enjoyed them both.

We
extremely enjoyed our stay at this property.The location was perfect
and the neighborhood was wonderful. The home was also in a good
location to take day side trips.
The property was in excellent condition. All we needed to bring was our
clothing and beach wear. Everything else was provided right down to the
gas grill for having a barbecue.
Everything was very comfortable and restful.

Review Submitted: July 10, 2007 Date of Stay: July 2007
This was our first visit to Michigan. The house was clean, spacious, and very comfortable for a family of four. The location was perfect; it was within walking distance to the beach, school playground (just across the street), and a small store. Stan and Anne were very hospitable and extremely helpful in providing us with information about the area. We had no problems in navigating the area and enjoyed Muskegon and several outlying areas. We consider this one of our best vacations!! Stan and Anne won't disappoint you.

Bill Heckman  Montague, Michigan
Review Submitted: February 21, 2007 Date of Stay: February 2007
Both of Stan and Annie's houses on Plum street are wonderful. They are clean, warm and charming. We lived in both of them for a total of nine months and loved every minute. The beach is spectacular and is a 5 minute walk away from either house. Stan and Annie are great people. I can't say enough about them or the house.
Owner's Response: Bill & Michelle were from Arizona and only planned on staying 4 months. After being here 1 month, they decided to live in the area. They had to move out of Plum Haven since we had already booked a few summer guests. That's when they stayed in Pedler's Paradise. Annie & I really enjoyed getting to know the Heckmans, and the boys, Will & Joseph.
