About this property

Pristine, 5000 sq ft Resort, Private Waterfront, Boat Rental, Activities GALORE

Don’t miss the opportunity to rent this newly expanded 5,000 sqft, 7 BR home in Croton, MI, just 40 miles north of Grand Rapids. This fantastic getaway sleeps up to 17 people in a spacious, open floor plan home, which offers beautiful water views, a fire pit, playground, volleyball net, pickle ball, basketball, shuffleboard, ping pong, air hockey, 10 bikes, 5 kayaks, and a private waterfront pavilion. "Croton Pond" is a 1,380-acre body of water where you can enjoy fishing, bird-watching (bald eagles nesting along the river), and swimming. If interested in a boat rental during your stay, we have a 20 ft. Qwest Pontoon available for rent. For those interested in bringing their own watercraft, there is dock space available.
Eagles Landing sits on one acre, directly across from a private waterfront lot with 150 feet of frontage, (on a low bank), making it great for families. Our street is very slow and quiet...perfect for bike rides or family walks. Play yard games on our well-manicured (large) lawn, relax on the 16X20 covered deck (rain or shine), and barbeque with our gas grill for a vacation that's sure to make great memories. Please check out our reviews to see what our guests have had to say!

Inside, you'll find the resort is equipped with many comforts of home such as WiFi, central air, 5 flat-screen TVs with streaming capability, and a large sectional sofa with 4 recliners. Our fully supplied kitchen features a gas range with double ovens, a large table that seats 10, and a "theater-style" popcorn machine! We also offer a wide variety of books to read and a closet loaded with family games to play.

The primary bedroom has a king-size bed, a walk-in closet, and a private bath with a large jacuzzi tub. Six additional bedrooms have a king-size bed, two twin beds, 4 queen-size beds, and a twin-over-full-size bunk bed. The second and third full baths contain a large shower and vanity. There are also 2 laundry rooms available and a work desk area in case you have any business to attend to during your stay. As a bonus, there's a 2500-square-foot heated garage, which makes it a perfect hangout area. This garage also has its own half bath. You've got to see this property to believe it!

Playing games on Croton Pond

Our second time back. Todd was a great host. He lined the Pickleball court inside the garage for us which helped us play all week through the rain. I think we used every game, kayak and pontoon boat. We had two family reunions which came off fabulously on this property. The remodel of the house is fantastic! We had 15-17 people each day with 5-7 kids between 5-10 and it all worked well.

Great spot for our Memorial Day weekend

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and exactly as pictured. We were traveling with eight children and the bedrooms were spacious enough for all the pack n plays we had to set up. There a ton to do with our older kids who especially enjoyed the shuffleboard court and play structures. The hosts were responsive to questions and very kind. Would definitely stay here again!

Excellent for groups with children

We’ve stayed at this property three years in a row, and we are planning to return! The kitchen is well stocked and it’s easy to cook meals in during your stay. The young ones in our group appreciate the outdoor play set, popcorn machine, and the air hockey table. The grill, kayaks, fire pit, and ample space to spread out are also appreciated. It’s evident that the owners consider small details, but they also continue to add impressive touches year after year. Thank you for another great stay!

We loved our stay. The house was spotless and had everything you could need! We loved the pickleball, shuffleboard and all the other fun things they have. I have stayed in lots of VRBO rentals over the years and would have to say that this one was really well thought out! Thank you for sharing your wonderful place with us!

A Unicorn

We could not have been more happier with the Whole Setup! Directions to the property were clear and precise. The listing was exactly what was listed, but somehow exceeded our expectations. Everything was Showroom Beautiful. The owner welcomed us to the property within the first 15 minutes and invited us on their pontoon boat that evening to get the lay of the land. It was an excellent place for our Bachelorette Weekend, since most of us don’t drink. It far from downtown Grand Rapids where we went for a dinner on Saturday. Lakeview, sitting on the lake to relax and even kayaks to take out. We will be back and will recommend to friends!

Girls getaway

This property was great for our girls getaway. It was spacious, nicely decorated, clean, well stocked for anything we needed, and very well organized and labeled. The weather was perfect for sitting outside and having a fire in the evenings and there was plenty of outdoor seating for everyone. We had a great time!

ideal for groups seeking retreat

Our group included 3 adult leaders and 7 youth on retreat. The space had ideal space for whole group to gather, youth to have some "away time" from adults (with supervision) and spaces where individuals could have alone time. We were impressed that even if it were raining, there would be no shortage of activities for our group. Finally, THE STARS!! The host could not control this aspect but if you're lucky enough to have clear skies during your visit, the view of the stars is beyond measure.

Everything you need- great for groups

We had 8 adults and 5 children with us during our stay and had plenty of room both inside the house and outside. There are plenty of extra details that were thought of such as a popcorn machine, kayaks, games, a grill, play equipment and a fire pit. The kitchen drawers and cupboards were labeled for easy access. The house was very clean and the hosts were available for any questions we had. We would stay again!

Wonderful large home!

We rented Eagles Landing Resort for our annual family vacation. There are 13 of us....8 adult and 5 children from 4 months to 3 years old. This house was a great choice! The house is beautiful and there was plenty of room inside and out. It has the best stocked kitchen of any house I've ever rented! I also love that there is a large dining room table where we all could sit together. And, last but not least, the hosts are amazing! They are super nice and very helpful with any questions you might have. IMO, you can't go wrong renting this property!!

Absolutely Amazing

This was the best weekend we’ve all had in a long time! The house and property were extraordinary. Todd and Dawn have thought of everything when they put this rental together. We took advantage of the bikes, volleyball court and of course, the bonfire pit. The “pond” pavilion was so much fun to just hang out in and kept our entire group dry when the rain came through. We are super excited to stay here again for our annual girls weekend!

About the host

Hosted by Todd Zondervan

We are the Zondervans, and it is our pleasure to welcome you to Eagle's Landing Resort! Todd and I (Dawn) both grew up in West Michigan, and met in 1992 at WMU. We got married in 1994, and reside in Caledonia, Michigan, with our children, Connor, Cam, and Carly. Todd works in sales for a packaging company, and I am a speech-language pathologist. We both love our jobs, but have often been told that we have "a gift for hospitality" and have "dreamed" of starting our own vacation rental business. My grandparents had a cottage just up the street, where I spent many summers of my childhood and teenage years. In college, I was a camp counselor for Camp Roger, and took many campers on over-night canoe trips down the Little Muskegon River, and into Croton Pond where we would camp on the island near the Croton causeway. With all of my memories and time spent here, Croton has become quite nostalgic to me, and now my husband and children have grown to love it JUST about it as much I do!

We bought our own cottage on the water in the summer of 2017, and this property came up for sale (across the street) just a few months later. It seemed to be a great opportunity for us to finally make our dream a reality. We named it Eagles Landing Resort and have been renting to families, friends, and ministry groups for 6 years now. We give all credit to God for the incredible blessing this journey has been!

Why they chose this property

We have spent the past few years updating this beautiful home, and adding amenities to make it a perfect, relaxing family getaway for ALL seasons! We are certain it will bring joy and lifelong memories to all who come to experience it. Trust us when we say that Croton Pond is a truly unique, and rather "undiscovered" body of water. As we have entertained friends and family here over the years, they have all had similar compliments..."This body of water is MUCH bigger than I realized!" "It reminds me of Canada or the U.P. with its natural beauty and how the trees come down to the water!" "It is ABSOLUTELY beautiful!" "What an enormous body of water to enjoy with so LITTLE water traffic!" "It's incredible to see the bald eagles flying up and down the river!" "Croton is an undiscovered GEM of northern Michigan!"

Yes, it's all true! Book your vacation with us today and discover what makes Croton waterway, and Eagle's Landing Resort, the perfect getaway for YOUR family!

What makes this property unique

Eagles Landing sits on a full acre of land and offers numerous activities for families, both indoors and outdoors. It is a large, open-floor plan home with a newly finished lower level, (January 2024), offering a total of 7 bedrooms and a guest capacity of 18. Private water access is the street with a private (spacious) waterfront pavillion.
