My husband, two young kids and I had a great time staying at the Shipwatch Cottage! Kellye was a great host, answered any questions we had and gave us fun ideas of things to do in the area. The house was very clean and comfortable. Overall we had a great time.

Most serene place on Earth
I absolutely adored this cottage. I was looking for a place to rest and recharge and boy was this it!! The cottage has everything you need and I especially appreciated the hosts attention to detail. The art and whimsy was also lovely. My memories of sitting in the white chairs on the bluff watching the sunset and butterflies will stay with me forever. Amazing place.

Perfect retreat
My family of 4 so enjoyed our stay at Shipwatch! We spent our days at Duck Lake Beach (<5 minute drive), Pere Marquette Beach (30 minute drive), and Muskegon State Park Beach (10 minute drive) and enjoyed sunsets, s'mores, and board games in the evenings back at the house! Groceries, etc are about 15-20 minutes away in Muskegon. From the moment we booked and received a great list of recommendations for the area from Kellye, to her texts just checking in during our stay, communication was open, friendly, and kind. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful property and hosts
The host went above and beyond in providing a welcoming environment and so many options for area activities. The house was clean and well maintained and stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed our morning walks down the short driveway to the lake where we could sit and relax. While the beach is not accessible from the property, there are so many options within a short radius. I would highly recommend this property and host. Fair warning - have your directions available in a screenshot or printed version. There is no mobile reception for a short area around the house. The house has wi-fi and I was able to work from it and transferred all calls to wi-fi while there. Before leaving, we would open Waze and screenshot directions - just in case the signal was lost. We had no issues using this workaround. 5 out of 5 stars for the host, location, and house.

Beautiful location on Lake Michigan
The cottage was wonderful: well appointed, clean, comfortable, with full kitchen, living room, two bedrooms (we only used one), and full bath. Tall, tall trees outside, and so quiet. Owner was gracious and accommodating, and could not have been nicer.

Comfortable little guest house
Small but nice place with thoughtful hosts. It's a guest house down the driveway from a main house. There's a great view of the lake if you walk past the main house (though no access down to the beach/water). We appreciated the s'mores fixings that were provided and the swingset for the kids.

Perfect getaway for family with little children. Big yard with play set, within a few miles of beach
This was the easiest rental I have been a part of. The owner was fantastic & great to work with. Cottage was clean & stocked with essentials. Beaches are a few miles away. Great town, great atmosphere, great food at Russ’s and amazing views of the sunset. We will be back again!
