Cozy Waterfront Cottage - 2 private docks, kayaks, pedal boat, grill & firepit!

Unwind at a picturesque waterfront cottage on the serene Muskegon River, nestled near the historic Croton Dam. Perfect for a romantic getaway or an outdoor escape, this charming retreat offers breathtaking sunrises, the soothing call of loons, and panoramic river views from the comfort of your living room or spacious deck. Step outside to fish, kayak, or simply soak in the beauty of nature—right at your doorstep. This fully stocked cottage offers luxury linens and all the comforts you need for a relaxing stay. After a day of boating, fishing, or exploring scenic trails and delightful local eateries, unwind by the fire and embrace the tranquility. Your perfect getaway is just a booking away! Nestled among the trees off the Muskegon River in eastern Newaygo County, this cozy one bedroom, one bath lakefront cottage provides stunning water views with direct water access, including two boat docks with kayaks and pedal boat. There is ample outdoor living space, boasting a waterfront deck with grill, dining table, and lounge chairs. Enjoy summer nights and cool fall evenings with the fire pit and Adirondack chairs or in the cozy living room and three seasons room with a view! Bring your own boat, jet ski, or fishing reels and enjoy outdoor living at its best on all sports, 1,380 acre Croton Dam Pond.

Inside the cottage, you will find amazing views of the water from every main room. The entire cottage has been completely renovated, with every inch tastefully fashioned by a professional designer, from the subway tile and quartz counters to the sliding barn doors. The classic knotty pine walls and ceilings add to the waterfront ambience.

Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, a primary suite with ample closet room, and a full bath with a tile shower and luxury linens. The living room offers a queen sofa bed for children.

We are located next to the Croton boat launch and 5 minutes from the Hardy launch. Snacks and groceries can be found at Gene’s Croton Market, 4 minutes away. Many highly rated restaurants are also nearby, such as Northern Trails Bar & Grill and Driftwood Bar & Grill (accessible via boat from our dock!).

All Season Life On The Water
Spanning 1,380 acres, opportunities for fun and excitement are seemingly endless on Croton Pond.

Enjoy activities like boating, jet skiing, tubing, swimming, and fishing on the water. A public boat launch can be found on the southwestern end near the Croton Dam. Anglers tossing out a line can expect to reel in largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, black crappie, bluegill, walleye, and northern pike.
There are multiple parks along the shores of the lake, offering fantastic amenities like tennis courts, campgrounds, places to picnic, a disc golf course, and much more!

Wonderful!

Clean, newly redecorated, cozy with a wonderful view. Because it was rainy and cold, we weren’t able to enjoy the deck or the kayaks or paddle boat. But it’s so cozy that we found the view all we needed. Visit ‘Hit The Road Joe’! It’s a little quirky, cash only, but man is the food good! We went for 3 different meals in our 2 night stay, including the wood fired pizza Friday.One tip: if you enjoy reading, take a little reading lamp - the light in the bedroom and living room isn’t conducive, though the lamps are classy.
