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.

Clean, comfortable, convenient rental

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.

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!

Second Visit to RedBird

We love this place so much we had to come back! The location of the two lakes is a dream come true and Ed is so accommodating and responsive. But most of all, we love the cleanliness of the property. Everything in the house is spotless and inviting. Thank you again, Ed, for another memorable family weekend. We hope to be back again!

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!

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.
