Stayed in early August with multi-generational family - property has beautiful view of river and awesome breezes - from the s'mores kit, hammocks, yard games, fire pit, easy access to beach (and beach chairs/pails on hand too!) this property was perfect for our group of 8! Thank you for hosting us - we loved our stay!

Great use of there space and very clean. We will be back to this gem but with less on the agenda so we can enjoy the property more.

This is a perfect property for those looking for a summer vacation that fully avoids the typical, over-crowded Michigan towns like South Haven or Saugatuck. The property sits up on a hill and has a perfect view of the Muskegon channel. The constant flow of ships, shade from the trees, and steady breeze off the lake create a perfect environment to read, play lawn games, or take a nap, even on the hottest of summer days. The beach is about a 10 minute walk away (all sidewalks), with two excellent restaurants within walking distance. Both restaurants have live music throughout the summer months as well. While there is no quaint village that you can walk to, you can easily drive/bike into town to shop. There is also a nice farmer's market that is 15 min. away by car. On an inclement day, visit the Silversides submarine museum. The museum is an outstanding value and includes both a tour of a WWII submarine and Coast Guard cutter. The house is well-equipped and clean, as advertised. Mulberry trees attract deer for a daily encounter with wildlife. We will definitely return.

We were in town for a friend's wedding. Location was very convenient. Views of the channel from inside and out were amazing. We could walk to the beach and a couple fun, nearby establishments. The Deck was very fun with excellent food. We played bags in the yard and enjoyed a campfire. House was clean, cosy, and comfortable and had everything we needed. Host was great.

Want to go to MICHIGAN in summer? Stay here if you want all the things. I mean, all the little things you didn't think of. These owners have thought of everything. Nice everything, book it. Thanks for having me...we had a wonderful time.

Very clean, beautiful, spacious outdoor areas and lovely views. The house is comfortable and has a well equipped kitchen. The location is convenient for walking and exploring the lighthouses and beach. We hope to stay again some time. Perhaps with warmer weather next time!

It was absolutely perfect. My husband and I stayed with his parents at the Channel House. It was gorgeous, spotless, and the location was amazing. We spent lovely afternoons talking and enjoying the birds and boats. Then in the early mornings there were deer, which was just wonderful. We couldn’t have asked for a better place. Thank you to Chuck and Kathy for being clear about rules and for providing fantastic coffee on top of everything else. We’re definitely hoping to come back soon for another stay!

Beautiful home tastefully decorated and provided all the incidentals we needed for our 3 day getaway with our son and family. Being on the channel side was fun in watching the boats traverse through to Lake Michigan. The owners are very communicative and were very helpful with all of our questions. We would rent here again without trepidation. Thanks for a lovely place to decompress.

Beautiful property. All updated interior. The owners were very responsive and checked in to be sure everything was going well. We loved watching the boats come in and out from the living room area. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area.

The property was beautiful and even better in person! Our group had an amazing stay!

This was our 3rd time choosing to spend a week of our summer at The Channel House. Our family of 4 keeps coming back all the way from the East Coast. It’s because the property is such a gem and we all love being here to enjoy the views, breezes, boat watching and easy access to the local beaches. Kathy and Chuck are amazing owners who have created a “can’t miss” place to get away. We always leave here happier than when we arrived. Thanks, Kathy and Chuck! The Channel House experience is special.

Delightful stay again at the Channel House. Didn’t disappoint.

We just loved the channel house for our vacation with two families. The breeze on the hill was glorious, plus multiple places to sit and watch the boats go by. We easily walked to the beach and local restaurants. 10/10 would recommend.

We booked a year in advance for a week in July. Everything went smoothly. It’s a really cute place and we enjoyed our stay. The beach is a short walk or drive and is not busy. We spent a day on the beach. Also, took kids to Michigan Adventure, Louis farms, and canoeing.

The Channel House was the perfect house for our family’s trip to Muskegon for our son’s repeat Covid 2020 wedding. Kathy was very understanding of our situation and helped us in planning what we needed to make the weekend special. The house was clean and well stocked with amenities. The large living area and great backyard was perfect for our wedding morning prep and day after family gathering. The view was spectacular and the location’s closeness to the Deck and Dockers and the beach were perfect. We could not have picked a better property for our family wedding weekend. Thank you Kathy and Chuck for being excellent hosts and being available for any questions we had. If we return to MI this will be the place we stay!!!

We had a delightful stay while we were here. The property is beautiful, we enjoyed sitting out watching the boats along with the deer that frequent the property. Kathy was very helpful with anything we needed and had excellent communication. The location of this property is fantastic, its within walking distance to a few restaurants, a lighthouse, multiple beaches, and a marina. I highly recommend staying here 10/10.

The property sits on top of the bluff overlooking the channel. House was very well maintained, furnished and very clean! Our family had a great time fishing off the channel and chilling at the beach.

This place is fantastic! Definitely want to stay here again! Hosts are also awesome. All 10 of us, in town for a bowling tournament loved staying here!

Great stay for our family. Love the privacy and we definitely used the firepit on both nights. 2 different decks to watch boats go by and a good view of the sunset. Would definitely go back and recommend!

The Channel House is within walking distance of two beaches: one on Lake Michigan and one on Muskegon Lake. Also, it sits on the channel between the two lakes. This is a great place for a family get together. The home itself is very nice and very clean. Also, it is decorated nicely and provides lots of different sitting areas which made it nice for different activities: talking, playing games, reading, listening to music.

Due to illness and a hurricane, we had to make a bit of a modification to our reservation as to occupants. Owners were gracious and patient as our situation evolved. THANKS!

This house was incredible and we loved the location. Kathy and Chuck were fantastic hosts - they had quick and helpful communication before and during our stay. We will definitely try to stay here again!
