Charming RedBird Cottage- On A Back Dune, Walk To The Beach


Professionally cleaned beyond cdc guidelines. We have provided more than a decade of 5 star experiences at our cottage in this history rich neighborhood. Super clean, professionally decorated experience. Not on the water, but walking distance to both Lake Michigan and Muskegon Lake. Fully stocked with linens, cookware, and amenities. Shared free bikes and kayaks also available for your use. Central A/C and good free wi-fi are readily available. Come sit by your private fire pit and roast marshmallows. This property has been recently fully renovated. We also have a separate carriage house with room for four more on the property if you need additional accommodations. Property #4761321.

Also we have been voted the number one west Michigan beach. The county sifts the sand clean every morning and the beach is one of the largest in west Michigan

Fantastic Location AND Style
This beautifully decorated cottage close to Lake Michigan and Muskegon Lake is a wonderful gathering place for an evening of ‘smores in the great fire pit or has plenty of space in the beautifully appointed living room for game night.

The Redbird cottage is a wonderful place to relax, very close to the incredible beach at Pere Marquette state park. Modern kitchen, shower with on-demand hot water and great pressure, and the host, Ed, is very accommodating and responsive. We can highly recommend this property.

Cozy cottage!
Ed was a gracious and helpful host! The house is super close to the beach and we used bicycles that Ed provided to ride the bike trails and go downtown. We had crummy weather but really enjoyed our stay at the Redbird Cottage!

Wow!
Thank you Ed, for a clean, comfortable and well stocked vacation rental. We loved the location in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to the beach activity. We rented bikes in the Lakeside business neighborhood and rode the trail around Muskegon Lake. Great visit!

Anniversary Trip
My husband and I vacationed along the MI coast on our honeymoon. So for our 20 year anniversary we chose a long weekend to stay and revisit many of same places and discover some new ones. The neighborhood was quiet and off the beaten path. The manager was very communicative and had great suggestions for activities and restaurants. The location was convenient for explorations of Muskegon, St. Joseph, South Haven, Grand Haven and Grand Rapids. We had a great trip and would stay here again in the future.

Beach vacation
Well located and convenient house close to Pete Marquette beach, walking or biking distance. Ed provided some bikes and was a great host, also offered kayaks. Muskegon is an under the radar beach town, lots of stuff to do and not as packed as others. Short drive to downtown and more restaurants, nice fire ring there, overall a great time and a great home base.

Great property-even better landlord!
The cottage was everything it was advertised to be and more. Ed is probably the best landlord in West Michigan! Made sure we had what we needed then stayed out of the way. Would recommend both the cottage and Ed to anyone wanting to rent in Muskegon.

Great extended weekend
Great location. Beach was phenomenal and low attendance. 5 mile bike ride into town. Trails along lake are great. Lots to do and see. House was perfect for the 5 of us. Owner gave us ideas to do at night and even stopped in to say hi.

Great!!
The location is great! Just a couple minute walk to the beach. Also short drive to downtown Muskegon for brewery/pizza, etc. Accomodations nice. Very clean and comfortable. Nice firepit and grill in the back. They were very accommodating; brought us bikes and were available for any questions or concerns. Would stay again without hesitation.

We absolutely loved the cottage!
The cottage is adorable and spotless! The furnishings were lovely and perfect for our group. The kitchen is great with lovely cabinetry and appliances. Everything we could possibly need. The bathrooms were also modern with great water pressure. My favorite part was hanging out on the red Adirondack chairs. We could not have found a better spot! Thank you!
