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.

Relaxing River Retreat

This cottage, right on the river, provided the perfect place for a family get together. We were able to eat all our meals on the patio while watching eagles, herons, osprey, and kingfishers. The short tube ride from the dam to the cottage was perfect for young children and so fun and easy that we did it twice in one afternoon. Fly fishing was productive right in front of the cottage. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The hosts were most helpful and made us feel very welcome.
