We have a large deck off the second floor living area overlooking the yard and channel, a large patio below that deck and a fantastic wood deck adjacent to the lagoon/channel that offers close-up views of the channel and fishing. The decks and patio have ample seating and dining areas available to enjoy beautiful sunsets and outdoor breezes. We also have a fire ring, gas grill and cute little sitting areas scattered around the property. The landscaped yard is lush and meticulously maintained and is a pleasure to stroll through.
The waterfront deck has a boat well and docking cleats so you can bring your boat, or rent one nearby. Whether you are relaxing inside, or enjoying our outdoor space, you are going to love your get-a-way of waterfront views! Enjoy the continuous parade of watercraft as they travel through the channel. We have some of the biggest ships in the Great Lakes region passing through, truly a sight to behold.
The home is located in the Bluffton area of Muskegon, nestled on a peninsula between the channel and a marina/beach. We have two beaches within walking distance. Pere Marquette Park boasts 2.4 miles of clean beach along Lake Michigan and Harbourtowne Beach is just a stone’s throw away and sits on the shore of Muskegon Lake. Parking at all beaches and parks is now metered.
We have a terrific restaurant that sits right on the beach at Pere Marquette. The Deck is just north of the pier and has quickly become a destination spot serving up smoked meats and sides with other great menu selections. All outdoor seating and on-the-beach entertainment nightly. For those familiar with our area, Dockers Fishouse restaurant is no more :( However, it has been purchased and being revamped by the folks that own The Deck and will be opening as BoDocks in 2026.
The revitalized Downtown Muskegon area is about a 10 minute drive with lots of unique dining options available as well as our awesome Muskegon Farmers Market- open every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday 8am-2pm and Western Market Chalets a short walk from the Farmers Market.
We have a new marina at Adelaide Pointe in the downtown area. It is really a destination place with the addition of The Muskegon Brewing Company restraunt offering stunning rooftop seating with views of Muskegon lake and our magnificient sunsets.
Our immediate area offers many parks and trails, bike paths and nature areas, piers and lighthouses. We are always happy to make recommendations on things to do in West Michigan.

Summary: House is beautiful and neighborhood is very peaceful.
Roger H. Aug 5, 2024 02:57:34 AM
Summary: Our family (six adults and four children under 9) enjoyed a return visit for another wonderful summer vacation at The Haven in Bluffton,. The home is spacious to easily accommodate our family groups. It was really nice having two kitchens, both fully stocked with all the dishware and cooking equipment needed. We brought paper plates and bowls for snacks and some meals to save on washing dishes. Other paper goods (towels, tissues, t.p.) were well stocked in closets throughout the house. The large grassy backyard was perfect for playing games and sitting around the fire to cook S'mores and tell stories. The kids enjoyed the family "fishing derby" from the deck. The dock was convenient for a one-day pontoon rental. We had four great days at the Harbour Towne Beach and one day at Pere Marquette Beach. Beach chairs are provided in a bin on the deck along the channel, though we brought some of our own. The provided collapsible beach wagon is helpful for hauling gear to the nearby beach. Some of us drove our cars this short distance, just for the convenience of hauling chairs, beach bags, inflatables, and lunch coolers. (We brought our own floats and rafts) Note: there is a parking fee for this lot and we all bought a season pass, which is also good for the Pere Marquette beach and visiting The Deck restaurant. Parking lot attendants are checking cars regularly at both areas. Our kids and grandkids all agree that this was a perfect place to enjoy our beach vacation!

Summary: Fun with the boats in the channel viewing.
Daryl P. Jul 7, 2024 06:31:52 AM
Summary: We had a wonderful time here for our annual trip to Michigan. The house was perfect for our four young boys, our parents, and sister and nephew. We loved watching all the boats and did lots of fishing on the deck and boardwalk. There was plenty of space in the house so that we didn't feel cramped and everything was extremely clean and organized. We appreciated the well stocked kitchens and bathrooms, and having a second kitchen and refrigerator was very convenient. The backyard was the perfect size for yard games and a campfire, and the sunsets were beautiful! The location is terrific and we made the short walk to the Muskegon Lake beach several times. The Pere Marquette beach was also fun with bigger waves! This was definitely at the top of our favorite vacation spots and we hope to come back!

Summary: The Haven at Bluffton was the perfect place for our family of 13 (8 adults and 5 children - 2 yrs of age to 7). The house is beautiful, the location is fabulous, and there was plenty of rooms and space for everyone. Having 2 kitchens and 2 living rooms is a huge bonus, and the house is extremely well stocked with plenty of everything. We made the most of our time at the two very close beaches, fishing from the backyard patio/dock area, and enjoying all of the sitting places to watch the many boats, freighters, and cruise ships pass through the channel. We stayed at The Haven for a week and none of us were ready to leave. Giving The Haven at Bluffton a 5 star rating is an understatement -- the place (and the hosts) are fabulous!
MATTHEW A. Jul 17, 2023 07:31:27 AM
Summary: We had my wife and myself, two adult kids and their spouses, and two grandkids 5 and 2. Everyone had plenty of private space and there was lots of common area space. Two full kitchens was a bonus for the early risers. Kids loved fishing off the back yard dock (no-miss with worms) and the beach was only a very short walk away. We docked our rental boat on our lake day (super convenient to load and pick up passengers). We had a great time. Chuck and Kathy have an awesome property and are magnificent hosts!
Sharon M. Jul 9, 2023 01:23:50 AM
Summary: The MI home was the most beautiful, well maintained home we’ve rented. Literally, we wanted for nothing—the bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen were well stocked. We really took advantage of the double kitchens and literally never went out to eat. The location was absolutely beautiful and so entertaining as boats large and small paraded by. We purchased day fishing licenses and fished off our private dock. Kathy and Chuck provided excellent service. The place was exceptionally clean. The pictures don’t do it justice. It was a 10 star experience!
Cindy L. Sep 10, 2022 03:14:59 AM
Summary: My husband and I along with our adult children, 11 of us, stayed Labor Day weekend and had a great time! The cottage was beautiful, very clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. We especially loved the outdoor space and enjoyed watching the boats go by.
Tyler R. Aug 15, 2022 07:39:20 AM
Summary: We stayed with 4 adults and 4 kids and this property had an incredible amount of space. The 2nd kitchen and fridge was great and much needed for a week long stay. The location to the beach and biking distance was amazing. I would highly recommend this property to a group looking for a beach vacation stay.
Carrie C. Aug 12, 2022 09:55:19 PM
Summary: Our family of 10 stayed in this beautiful home very comfortably for a week. We had kids as young as 3 and grandparents up to 70. The location of the property was ideal with our choice of 2 lakes and great boat and bird watching. The yard was a fun and safe place for the kids to play when we were at home. The home is stocked with everything you need. Property managers were immediately accessible and touched base with us to see how it was going. Boat traffic was super fun and just gar enough away to not be intrusive. We will definitely consider going back. The Chase Family.
