The Hillside Cottage is a curated space to reset, reflect, and unwind. A place to spend your days strolling the beach, fishing along the pier, sipping craft beer, or enjoying a meal at one of the many great local restaurants. Located just blocks off the water, our 1920s era cottage is nestled within the historic Lakeside neighborhood of Muskegon. A quick walk to grab ice cream, and just a bit further to restaurants, bars, and shopping. Best of all, the beach is just a five minute drive away. Located at the top of the hill, you can look down the street for views of Muskegon Lake. Our charming 3 bedroom home has room for you and your friends or family. The bathroom and kitchen are freshly renovated with new floors, a custom tiled shower, and new countertops. All that Muskegon has to offer is just minutes away. Please note that we have a STRICT no smoking and no party policy. The house is all yours while you're here. Feel free to use the record player (with care) and help yourself to anything you find in the fridge or kitchen cabinets. Off street parking is in front of the house, just to the left of the front porch (paved driveway belongs to the neighbors). Guests may also parallel park in front of the house during warmer months. No overnight street parking in the winter. Access the cottage via the combination pad on the front door. Check-in is anytime after 3pm. Guests will be given an access code just prior to check-in. I will be available to answer questions via text or e-mail. Whether taking a trip to the beach, checking out the breweries downtown, or exercising your adventurous side at the Winter Sports Complex, our cottage is the perfect spot for some relaxation, anytime of the year.
