Great place
Everything about this place is exactly as in the listing - very clean, nicely decorated, everything you need is included. We loved using the beach chairs and beach umbrella, the yard was lovely and perfect for our dog and us to hang outside, and it was great to have the shed to keep our bikes in. Love that it was dog friendly and the host provides furniture covers as well and other dog accessories! Would highly recommend this home! Only negative was also mentioned in a previous review, the beds are very firm.

Perfect Family Stay
This house was the perfect size for our family. The downstairs was great for our two toddlers with two twin beds and a queen for us. My parents had their own space on the main floor. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. *Bonus- Toys, games, and books that our kids loved!!! We really enjoyed the firepit, game shed, and front porch for reading. The beach was only 5 mins away and we enjoyed taking our dog to the Kruse dog beach. Highly recommend Lewis Farms for kids, so much for the kids to do. The Frosty Cove was a close bike ride for our ice cream treats. We really enjoyed all the restaurants, putt-putt, submarine tour, boat cruise, and duck pin bowling. This has been our favorite house and spot in MI so far! Thank you for a wonderful summer vacation!

This was the second time we’ve stayed in this house and we were not disappointed! It’s really nicely appointed with all of the conveniences including a big yard, lots of linens, towels, and fully stocked kitchen. It’s a quiet neighborhood and easily accessible to Pere Marquette and other attractions around the Muskegon area. We will definitely continue to stay there in future years!

Always Lincoln 1
Great little house, layout, furniture all very nice. I really liked the front porch where I could sit in the morning and drink coffee. House was extremely clean, everything worked and I have never stayed in another rental that was as well supplied. Anything you forgot to bring Brenda has you covered, anything. Nice backyard for kids, lp grill and fire pit are a nice touch older quiet neighborhood. Our first time in Muskegon was a pleasant surprise not knowing what to expect. Clean city, well landscaped very walkable and many beautiful old buildings to visit. The city and surrounding area offered way more entertainment opportunities than we could take advantage of during our four night stay.

Great place to stay, off-season area
Our stay here was fantastic. The home is ideal and we couldn’t ask for more, especially traveling with a dog. Very friendly. The location was slightly questionable, as the area appeared slightly run-down, which i expect is largely exacerbated by the off-season

New favorite!
This is one of the best houses we’ve stayed in. So cute, well-kept and clean, all the details tended to, and we could bring the dogs along! I think even non-pet-owners would agree that the place is clean and fresh. We had fun playing games (in good condition), and the snacks were an exciting find for our teens. We brought sound machines which helped with sleeping as the floors are creaky and the doors stick. Communications with the host were prompt and helpful. It’s probably the nicest house on the block, but in a family neighborhood that felt safe. We are already trying to come up with reasons to return. We really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful home - well stocked!
Beautiful, spotless property. Probably the cleanest, best stocked VRBO we have ever stayed at - and we've stayed at lots! Everything you could want, great sets of dishes, glasses, really nice pots and pans for cooking. Our downstairs bathroom had 8 sets of towels. It was wonderful! Backyard is very private and there was even a pile of wood for the fire pit. The patio is very nice with lots of seating and end tables for drinks and food. I loved the little screened in front porch. The book with recommendations for local restaurants and tourist venues was really helpful. It sounds like a small thing, but the toys that were mentioned in the description were full sets of things for our granddaughter to play with. So often, the "toys" they mention in other rentals are just a pile of plastic pieces, but this VRBO had whole sets of toys (like a wooden train set) with all the pieces. Very much appreciated. We like Muskegon and I see Brenda has multiple properties - when we come back we are going to book with her. Highly recommend!

Great Lake getaway
My whole family was impressed with the house. We come to the area a few times a year and this place was at the top of our list of places we have stayed. Our host had thought of everything you might need on vacation. The house was well stocked with all the amenities you may need . We were 1 mile from the dog beach for our furry family members and with multiple places to eat and drink within a short distance the house was a great location. Look forward to a return visit soon.

Close to Lake Michigan Beaches!
It was a delight for my Mom, me and my two chihuahuas to stay at this property. The bungalow was extremely clean and the fenced in back yard was an added plus. The renovation of the bungalow was very well done and everything was well stocked. The air conditioning was fantastic as it was a very hot and humid week in July! We wanted to explore the Lake Michigan beaches nearby and were not disappointed! We especially enjoyed Muskegon State Park’s beach. The only suggestion I would make is to add curtains to the kitchen window. The house next door is close by and curtains would allow for more privacy. Overall, a fantastic experience! Elaine

The home was super clean and comfortable. It may sound silly, but we loved being able to control the temperature in the house! Backyard was lovely and the fire pit was great. My only recommendation would be for a few more hooks in the first floor bathroom. Other than that, this property is a 10!!

Beautiful Interiors and great backyard
Our two families enjoyed this beautiful space - inside and out. The backyard was amazing - a fire pit, space for the dog to run, a shed with jenga for our kiddo to play in. The interiors were very modern and clean. Everything you could want! Sleeping was a little hard for us with folks sleeping downstairs hearing even quiet sounds upstairs (bring a sound machine if you'd got a sensitive kid), the beds being a little firm for some of us (we missed our box springs) and the neighbors playing loud music late one night (we asked them to turn it down and they totally understood). These were minor though in comparison to the beautiful space that this is! Thanks for a great stay, Brenda!!!

Perfect!
We’ve stayed in several rentals places all over. This cottage is special. It is centrally located - a few miles from the beach & downtown area. The house is immaculate & very well furnished with items you would have in your own home. It is very cozy & comfy. The entire house (including furnished basement) is well stock with whatever you’d need. We enjoyed sitting in the backyard - nice pergola, sitting capacity, grill & fenced in for our pet. The keyless entry was convenient. Brenda was always responsive to questions & we thank her for letting us use her season pass for the beach.. So don’t hesitate - this place is perfect. It will be home away from home.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda

Host profile image
I love being a host because it allows me to bring each home to life by telling a unique story based on its style. Being from the area and living here, I have a deep connection to these homes and the community. My passion is creating spaces where guests can truly relax and feel at home, no matter where they’re coming from. Each home I design is meant to offer comfort, warmth, and a sense of belonging.

What makes this property unique

We transformed this home from a basic bungalow into a space that can comfortably be enjoyed by up to eight guests. The main level features two cozy bedrooms and a full bath, while the lower level now boasts a spacious bedroom, an additional full bathroom, and a small gathering space—perfect for a little separation between the two living areas.

Outside, we created an inviting space with a beautiful paver patio, all shaded under a custom-built pergola crafted by my husband. Nearby, you’ll find a shed stocked with tables and plenty of games for those relaxing moments when you’re not out exploring. We’ve also included a variety of yard games—one of my favorites is Yard Yahtzee!

And of course, no getaway is complete without a firepit. Gather around in the evenings, share stories, and make unforgettable memories under the stars.

Thank you for booking with Always Vacation Rentals—we hope you have a fantastic stay!
