GREAT ESCAPE- DO IT ALL OR DO NOTHING AT ALL

Bluffton Dune Hideaway

Little House-Big Fun!!!

Take advantage of our first full summer season in this beautifully restored and freshly appointed 700 sq ft 1 bed/1 bath cottage hidden high on a dune in popular Bluffton area of Muskegon. 1 queen and 1 futon comfortably sleep four in this newly rehabbed early 1900's logging hut. Parking at street level then climbing 50 steps up to the Hideaway will start your best vacation ever. Wake up to a relaxed, open kitchen with breakfast bar and adjoining courtyard. Shower with a skylight looking up into the tree canopy, makes you feel like you're in a waterfall! Seasonal views of Muskegon Lake showcase the scenic nature of this property. Washer/Dryer. Pet free-Smoke free rental.

SUMMER

With just a five minute walk to sun and fun on the big beautiful clean beach at Pere Marquette or one block to drop your kayak in Muskegon Lake, you will love this area for all of your summer outdoor recreation. Leave your car behind and either walk or bike to neighborhood stores, eateries, and the cross-lake ferry to Wisconsin for a day trip.

The Bluffton Dune Hideaway is located 3 blocks from Lake Michigan and 1 block from Muskegon Lake. This is your spot for your summer fun...whether its kayaking, sailing, paddleboarding either lake or biking on the trail just below the cottage. Unique rehabbed logging hut sits high on a dune gives you a bird's eye view of the great little enclave called Bluffton. Its a little like 'Swiss Family Robinson' without the pirates!! Ideally located, Muskegon has the best beaches and parks around. Quaint towns of Whitehall and Grand Haven are each a 20 minute drive respectively north or south.

The Hideaway can be rented alone or as part of an adjunct property on the downside of the the dune. This is not your typical cottage. Its compact and comfortable. Impeccably clean and natural. Kayaking and paddleboarding are just 5 minutes away at either Lake Michigan or Muskegon Lake. If hiking and biking is your gig, the path runs right past the cottage. It doesn't get any easier. When you are done with your day, relax to the sounds of summer. Do it all or do nothing at all...read a good book ...write your first short story in the screened back porch high up on the forested dune.....absorb the nature and paint that scene of the trees canopy.. we provide the books, the paper, the canvas. This place is so AWESOME you will LOVE IT!!

We set you up with a concierge packet so you'll know where you are going. We help you design your perfect vacation doing just what you want to do!!

Beautiful adventure

Submitted: March 11, 2013 Stayed: August 2012
We arrived at the Hideaway and felt instantly at home! The owner, Jo, made sure everything was perfect! The cottage is very comfortable and modern. We had a feeling of complete privacy up on the top of the dune, and the view and breezes from the look-out area with adirondack chairs was heavenly. The house is really close to everything. We walked down to the Lake Michigan beach and also spent some time kayaking out from Muskegon Lake. We enjoyed the bike trail which led us to some cool spots on Lakeshore Drive. Jo made sure we had bikes to use for the week. We want to come back and do more exploring this summer. This little cottage is a gem!

Cute cottage close to the beach

4 of 5
Submitted: November 25, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
My husband and I went there for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. We were welcomed upon our arrival by the doe in the pictures! It's very cozy, clean, and well- furnished. We really enjoyed the decor and the overall ambiance of the cottage. We also appreciated the gift the owner left for us - it was very thoughtful!
It is within walking distance of the beach. We went during late fall though so it was rather chilly but still worth it! Fall is a quiet time for the area, which was fine by us since we were there for a getaway more than anything else.
My only comments that someone who is thinking of staying here may want to keep in mind are the following:
There aren't curtains in the front room. There are huge windows overlooking the hill and other homes but no curtains. It was kind of strange to be honest to think that someone could see my husband and I cuddling on the couch.
The shower is very, very short and small. I am by no means tall (only 5"5') and had to practically duck and boy was it uncomfortable for shaving! I recommend shaving at home before you go! ;) This would probably not be well-suited for someone really tall (or large). Also, no tub. Just a shower.
Neither of these were deal breakers though. Just an FYI.
Even given these quirks (which all older homes have), we would go back. We really enjoyed it and had such a wonderful time there. It felt as if we belonged. =)

Perfect little getaway home for 2

4 of 5
Submitted: August 15, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
This cottage was everything and even more than what the description provided. There were only pleasant surprises. Very clean and provides a feeling like you are at home. All you need is your personal things, otherwise the cottage includes pretty much everything you can find in your own home. It was a perfect weekend getaway cottage.
The owner was very helpful and accommodating from the time we inquired about the property to the night we left. We enjoyed the cozy warm feeling that this cottage provides. The stairs leading up to the house make you feel like you are in a tree house. It was so close to the beach and Muskegon has beautiful beaches and amazing sunsets. The location was great and convenient.
We would definitely come back and stay at the same place.
Thank you Jo for your hospitality.

This rental was updated and comfortably situated with all the necessities that a family needs for beach fun - just two blocks away! The owner was so helpful and accomodating, helping with our vacation plans. There really isn't anything they haven't thought of here to make your vacation relaxed and easy. We saw the deer on our last day there, heard the birds and the sweet church bells, love this little piece of small beach town heaven!
