About this property

Sunset Shores - Private Riverfront Retreat

Sunset Shores

Private Riverfront Retreat | Snowmobile Access | Boat Launch Nearby

Welcome to Sunset Shores — where the river slows you down.

Set along a quiet stretch of waterfront and surrounded by mature trees, this private riverfront retreat offers both peaceful restoration and year-round adventure. Whether you’re sipping coffee while watching the morning mist rise off the water, launching your boat for a full day on the river, or riding your snowmobile straight from the property in winter — this space gives you room to breathe and room to explore.

This is not a party house.
This is a place to reset — or roam.

Winter Bonus: Snowmobile In & Out

In the winter months, guests can snowmobile directly from the property and access nearby trail systems without loading up and hauling out. Ride all day, then return to a warm, cozy retreat by the river.

After a day on the trails, gather around the firepit or settle inside and unwind.

Summer Perk: Boat Launch Less Than 1 Mile Away

Bring your boat — a public launch is located less than a mile from the property, making it easy to get on the water quickly. Spend the day fishing, cruising, or exploring the river, then return home to your private waterfront space.

The Experience

• Direct river frontage with peaceful, uninterrupted views
• Large yard perfect for outdoor games or snow-covered winter magic
• Firepit for evening conversations under the stars
• Cozy indoor living spaces filled with natural light
• Quiet surroundings — just water, wildlife, and wind in the trees
• Easy access to snowmobile trails (winter)
• Boat launch under a mile away (summer)

Every season offers something different — from snow-dusted stillness to lush summer sunsets reflecting off the water.

Comfort Meets Simplicity

Inside, you’ll find warm, inviting spaces designed for comfort and connection:

• Comfortable sleeping arrangements, one king bed, one twin bed
• Kitchenette
• Open gathering spaces
• Fast Wi-Fi for remote work
• Space to relax after a day outdoors

Whether you're traveling with family, reconnecting with friends, planning a couples’ weekend, or hosting a small restorative retreat, Sunset Shores adapts to your rhythm.

Perfect For:

• Couples seeking a peaceful waterfront escape
• Families who love outdoor recreation
• Snowmobilers looking for ride-in/ride-out convenience
• Boaters and anglers
• Writers, creatives, and remote professionals
• Small restorative gatherings

Why Guests Love It

Because it feels like both adventure and exhale.

You can ride hard all day — and come home to still water at sunset.
You can launch your boat in minutes — and dock your thoughts by evening.

At Sunset Shores, you don’t just stay.

You reset.
You reconnect.
You return home different.

The location was great for where we needed to be. The host was friendly and responded in a timely matter. The place was very cute and clean. Lots of space, and we loved just sitting and chilling by the river! Thanks so much for letting us stay!

It’s not a two bedroom. It only sleeps three. It’s more of a studio apartment with no doors. It is clean, nicely decorated and bright. The outdoor space is beautiful.

We had a great time! Arrived late and found the property. Thankfully it was a well marked property and looks like the pictures! Make sure to take screenshots of the directions as you lose service as you approach the location so you have all the info you need to find house and get inside

Physically Comfortable But Awkward

The unit is a converted garage next to the owners home. It had everything we needed inside to be comfortable, but the owner was on site and that made it awkward; because of that we did not feel comfortable using the back yard at all. Also, I had to come out early one day to move our car in my frickin pajamas because I didn't know the owners car was in the adjacent garage. We picked Vrbo because we thought they prevented on-site owners. Also, note that there is a cliff on the river, preventing access to it for tubing or kayaking, and the outdoor furniture was heavily stained and dirty.

So Upset! We left!

I spent a lot of time researching places to stay near family. We are elderly, there was no mention of no cell service or wifi. Only way we found VRBO, we had address. It's way out in the country. There was no instructions how to access wifi. I suggested to host how important that is. She said she would leave in future. We left as family, wouldn't be able to find us. We barely found our way out of there, as no gps service. I'm sure property ok for some families. Oh, in the photo's online, it appears, apt could be part of house. It's actually part of the garage. She could have also told us, she was home and could help us. I have been happy with other VRBO properties in the past. I wanted to do VRBO, cause I think hotels are boring. I wanted to be by the Muskegon River. The grass wasn't even mowed, difficult to walk to River. Actually it was beautiful there. Sorry, we were disappointed. Sincerely, Sandy & George Yates
