The street was awful. We had to park down the street. It would have been better if the second bedroom had a bunk beds. The.bean bag was bad and so was the blow up bed to sleep on

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!

Anniversary Trip

My husband and I vacationed along the MI coast on our honeymoon. So for our 20 year anniversary we chose a long weekend to stay and revisit many of same places and discover some new ones. The neighborhood was quiet and off the beaten path. The manager was very communicative and had great suggestions for activities and restaurants. The location was convenient for explorations of Muskegon, St. Joseph, South Haven, Grand Haven and Grand Rapids. We had a great trip and would stay here again in the future.

Cozy cottage!

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!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Ed Bodman

Host profile image
Locally grown, we look to bring great experiences for visitors to our little gem of a beach side community , and winter wonderland

Why they chose this property

Rich with history from the silent actor colony days, we are a remodeled home in a turn of the century neighborhood. Fully rebuilt home with exceptional décor and amenities

What makes this property unique

Short walk to either Muskegon Lake or the big lake, yet a quiet back dune setting . French twist decor is stunning and soothing. Big fire pit for evening smores, or climb up the back dune and through the quiet wooded dune setting, until you arrive at the beach of Lake MI or Muskegon Lake. Or take bike pathways for a long ride to town or along the boardwalk loop of LK MI
