About this house rental
City center with harbor views in a walkable, very safe area. Located next to a paved pedestrian path with seasonal Muskegon Lake views and close to downtown events and beaches makes this the perfect vacation spot! Relax around the fire pit perched above the harbor lights, take a short bicycle ride downtown, or spend the day at the beach. Michigan’s Adventure is a short 12 minute drive. A nature preserve, fishing pond, dining, local bar, playground and axe throwing are with a few minutes walk.
The space
Welcome to our nest with a view! The Cuckoo’s Nest is located on the hill that sits over the main drag into the City of North Muskegon. You’ll see traffic round the corner into the city center where there’s restaurants, small businesses, a local bar & grill, and more. Overlooking Muskegon Lake you’ll have views of a marina and a harbor where swans are often seen. Located just off the paved bike path it’s a perfect spot for walks to the close by nature center or a 4 mile bicycle ride to downtown Muskegon events. A kid’s playground with basketball courts is 1/4 mile walk away. There’s a front covered porch perfect for lazy summer days of bird watching. Vander Velde fishing pond is a short walk to the Witham street hill. This is a popular fishing spot. The house is in the middle of city yet a private location. Outside you will hear traffic noise. This is a quiet neighborhood. There is a Ring Video doorbell.
The home has many windows with an abundance of natural sunlight. The home has a large side yard and sits past a road end making it large and private. If your GPS routes you to the road end, just go around the corner to the alley entrance. There’s a paved parking lot on one side and a house on the other side of the home. The driveway is at the rear of the home off a paved alley. There’s enough parking in the driveway for 2 vehicles with trailers. If additional parking is needed there is free street parking very close by. We are currently sprucing up the yard and currently there are two areas with patio furniture and a fire pit.
The home has been updated with new aesthetics for a relaxing and comfortable experience. Each piece of furniture and art has been carefully curated for guests to enjoy. Vintage textile wall art, metal art, and pottery adorn the house. Upon entering from the rear of the home there’s 3 steps in the small entryway into the kitchen. There’s pots, pans, dishes, spices, and all the basics to make meals. Off the kitchen is an oval dining room table that seats 6. There’s an adjacent space with a sofa twin bed pull out and a work station desk. There’s 1 bathroom with a shower tub, well lit vanity, toiletries, and plenty of towels and washcloths. A mirrored bi-fold door separates the bath area from the washer and dryer.
The living room features a game/ sitting table that seats 4, a couch and chair that seats 4, and a 50” Roku television. Extra blankets & pillows are available for sleeping. There are games available in the snack bar cabinets.

10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
This is a wonderful house--cozy, comfortable, decorated with great flair and individuality, clean, convenient, and more. Great location. We always need to cook at rentals, and the kitchen was unusually well stocked with equipment and more. The host was communicative and responsive.

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
Our stay here was excellent. Overall the place is kind of picture perfect. Well decorated, thr kitchen has everything you beed to complete any cooking task. Three TVs, beds all comfortable. We had a great 7 days here. If we had any suggestions, it would be to add a dresser in master bedroom. For us to say we woukd stay here again is really a high complement from us.
