About this property

Relaxing 2BR Family Stay – Near Lake & Downtown!

  • Palmer Place is perfectly situated between Downtown Muskegon and the nationally recognized Pere Marquette Park. Just a block from Muskegon Lake and the shoreline bike trail you will have plenty to do and see while you are here! Our single-story home offers peaceful, private rooms with additional leisure space both inside and out. Enjoy a quiet morning on the screened in front porch with your coffee or a night in while grilling on the BBQ and eating at the covered, fenced in backyard dining table.

    We are centrally located to all that Muskegon has to offer and less than 5 mins. from the Lakeside Area, Downtown Muskegon and McGraft Park.

    The Lakeside area is home to popular restaurants and shops such as Ghezzi’s, Wonderland Distillery, BananaDog Tea, and The Pierogi Shack. There is also convenient access to the Lake Express Ferry (Muskegon to Milwaukee) and the Muskegon Lakeshore Trail, a 14 mile path that provides scenic views of Lake Michigan and Muskegon Lake.

    Downtown Muskegon is a wonderful and historic area for shopping, dining and fun! You can find yourself at popular locations such as 18th Amendment, RAD Dad Tacos, Carlisle’s. Pigeon Hill Brewing, Unruly Brewing, or Socibowl.

    McGraft Park is where you can find yourself playing a round of frisbee golf, sledding, watching your kids play on the several playgrounds, playing basketball or tennis, enjoying the shuffle board courts, or enjoying the free outdoor concerts in the summer.

    Whether you're visiting for outdoor activities, enjoying the nightlife or a peaceful night at home, there is so much to do in Muskegon.

Rough start but it ended well!

Perhaps it was the cleaning crew but the dishwasher was ran with dish soap. You will need to stream your own Netflix or whatever streaming device you use and definitely not enough toilet paper. A trip to Meijer's for dishwasher soap not dish soap and toilet paper we were settled. The location was great if your a bike enthusiast. It's actually a couple blocks to get on the bike trail but you can ride it to the beach and have a nice lunch. Its great if you want a relaxing week at the beach.

Check in was smooth. We were a bit early and the host graciously allowed us to drop our stuff off before heading to our event. Location was close to the lake and restaurants. We had a fantastic lunch at Fatty Lumpkins. Highly recommend. House was clean. AC kept the house nice and cool although it is very loud. No complaints since it was 90 outside. Wish the house had a coffee pot vs a single server Keurig machine. We are coffee drinkers and that was a bit painful to deal with that, but really not a big deal. It’s a bit of a gamble booking a place like this when you’re not familiar with the community, but we were satisfied.
