About this property

River Country Lodge on the Muskegon River next to Pine St boat launch

River Country Lodge is a 3 bedroom home that sleeps 7, has 1 1/2 baths, full kitchen, central air, satellite TV, games, movies, books, outdoor fire pit and a grill on a private deck overlooking the Muskegon River.

This lodge is a nice clean, 3 bedroom home right on the low banks of the Muskegon River right next to the Pine Street Boat launch for easy access for boats, tubes, kayaks and canoes. This home is on 10 acres among wild-life and some of the best salmon and steelhead fishing in the mid-west.

The Muskegon River in front of the lodge is an excellent place for new anglers to learn the sport as well as for the experienced angler to catch rainbows and browns on dry flys. Lots of room to cast, perfect paced water and epic hatches will not disappoint.

This lodge is perfect for enjoying kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and just relaxing and enjoying all the beauty that the Muskegon River has to offer year round.

Awesome experience.
I was looking for a place to take my kiddos so they could learn to fish and spend some time away from everything. This was the perfect place to do just that. Mike and Denise are amazing hosts, and make sure you have everything you need. The location to the river couldn’t be better, the scenery is beautiful, and the memories will last a lifetime. We just got home, and my kids are already wanting to know when we can go back. Thank you, Mike and Denise for creating an amazing experience for our family!

Muskegon River
Staying at the lodge, the Muskegon River runs just outside. It is a million dollar view. I find it so relaxing sitting on the deck watching the river. During my stay there were a lot of sunny days that complimented the view. Mike and Denise live next door and were wonderful hosts. The North Country Trail runs near the property and this trail is great for hiking.
