About this property
Gorgeous renovated cottage on Croton Pond
This Immaculate 1200 sq ft cottage is only a 50 minute drive north of Grand Rapids and is located on the beautiful 1350 acre Croton waterway (between the Croton and Hardy dams). Completely remodeled with white kitchen, quartz counters, bright new bathroom with seated shower, 2 bedrooms (each one with a queen bed ), 2 sitting areas (one with a queen size sofa sleeper and the other with a large gray sectional that seats 6). Our open floor plan cottage has a beautiful dining area with vaulted ceiling and a large, expandable table that seats up to 10, offering panoramic water views with its surrounding windows. Relax on our large wrap-around deck and enjoy the breeze that comes off the river, but if it gets too warm, escape into the comfy cottage with central air conditioning. Chill at the fire pit or fish along our 100 feet of sea wall frontage with 2 docks. Sway on our beautiful waterfront swing as you sip your morning coffee and look for the majestic bald eagles who nest in the treetops just across the river. Enjoy 5 bikes that are available for your use and ride them along the roadside bike path that extends from the Croton Dam to the Hardy Dam. There are also 6 kayaks (Five adult-size and one youth size) available at no charge and a pontoon available for rent. Gorgeous retaining walls and numerous outdoor activities in the area make this cottage the perfect place for your family to relax outdoors and enjoy the perfect location on the river.
The area surrounding Eagles Landing Cottage has much to offer, including great restaurants, shopping, and river tubing (with Wisner rentals available at Croton Dam). We are near the family-friendly Croton Campground and the Croton Trading Post, which serves delicious pizza and Hudsonville ice cream, enjoyed by all the locals. Bring along your mountain bikes, since we're just two miles away from the trailhead for the 47 mile "Dragon" mountain bike trail.

The place was clean, modern, comfortable, and perfect for our winter weekend getaway. The host checked in during our stay in case there were any issues, but all was well!
Loved the stay at this house !! Beautiful view of the lake . Couch was comfortable all the amenities you would need . Great place to stay to relax and rewind .
The property is very comfortable inside and out. The house was very clean and had all the features of home. The fire pit, swing, and deck area offer exceptional views of the lake and are fantastic places to relax and leave the world behind. The neighborhood, while populated, is very quiet. Can’t wait to go back……! Will rent the available pontoon boat next time for sure !!!!! And if you like grilling as I do, there is a decent gas grill on site and a very nice meat market a quarter of a mile down the street. We had some awesome filets from there…….
Property just as pictured. Clean. Beautiful location. LOVE the beautiful window view of river. The spacious deck, seating, and dedicated fire pit all got frequent use! We saw bald eagles twice directly across river. Very peaceful and quiet. Use of kayaks an added bonus. My husband and I were there to take advantage of The Dragon Trail mountain bike trail around perimeter of Hardy Dam Pond. This VRBO was perfectly located for short drive to various segment access points. Would definitely stay here again if in the area. Hosts were great as well.
Cottage is beautiful and oh, so comfortable. We enjoyed having coffee on the back deck overlooking the river then grabbing a kayak for a quiet paddle upstream. I loved everything about our stay and will definitely book again.
This cabin is special... bright, cheerful decor with everything you need to have a great stay. Great view and access to the lake. Sun room overlooking the lake is beautiful. Watch for the bald eagles flying right in front of the deck. Owners were gracious and friendly. Everything in the write up was exactly correct. 5 stars 🌟
The house is absolutely beautiful. The owners did incredible designing and laying out this beautiful house on Croton Pond. There is nothing quite like the peace of drinking your morning coffee at the table in a warm house with a full window view of the water. The house was absolutely the perfect size for my family of 4. The linens and kitchen are well stocked for any needs that could come up. The house was very clean and clearly well taken care of. Highly recommend staying at Eagles Landing!
We rented the both properties and shared space with 10 adults, 4 kids, and 2 infants. It had everything and the views, amenities at both properties were top notch.
Due to the warmer than usual temps this October, there wasn't much autumn color in Mid Michigan. No worries tho! The cottage was fantastic and we had a wonderful time. This cottage has everything you need for a comfortable and fun trip. And the views of Croton Pond are spectacular. Dawn and Todd are attentive and gracious hosts. We would definitely stay there again.
The cottage is gorgeous and Todd and Dawn have supplied everything you could possibly need. The outdoor space is beautiful. The view of the river is amazing and it is so peaceful and quiet. We fished right off of the dock. We've been doing home rentals, B&B's, etc. for YEARS now and this is by far the best place we have ever stayed at. Todd and Dawn are super nice and respond promptly to any questions and/or concerns. Don't pass this one by!
The house was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. The outdoor space in back had nice, shady seating areas to sit and take in the beautiful river views. We didn’t have much luck fishing, but enjoyed kayaking and cruising the lake and river in a pontoon. Host couple were very nice and made us feel welcome!
My family had a great week and the house was just what we expected, clean, updated and a great location. Todd and Dawn are great hosts and provided us with everything we needed. Thank you and plan to stay again.
I booked this house/cottage as a surprise for my boyfriend’s 40th Birthday. We absolutely loved every minute of our stay! The property was immaculate: very clean, gorgeous views, with lots of activities like kayaking, and fishing, a fire pit, and even a pontoon boat to rent. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and clean.
I was a little nervous that there would be road noise as the property is close to the road in the photos, but that was not the case. The road has very little traffic and almost no road noise. I also like to mention that the river was fairly quit too - even on Memorial Day Weekend. There was not a lot of loud boat traffic like you might expect. The property is located at a shallower point in the river so there was minimal boat/jet ski traffic which was nice and made our stay relaxing.
The property owners were very kind accommodating as well. Thanks Dawn & Todd for the awesome stay!
We are definitely considering renting this place again. Maybe even again yet this year if we can! :)
We are so grateful to Todd and his wife for the opportunity to stay at their beautiful cottage and for a wonderful experience. The cottage is absolutely stunning, very homey and it has a breath taking lake view which I miss so much! The beds and couches are so comfortable. There is so much to do. This cottage is perfect for both winter and summer. We had an amazing time! So grateful for such a wonderful stay! We can’t wait to go back!
Incredible cottage with awesome views and access to water. Clean and cozy, hosts go above and beyond to make sure a great experience is had. Highly recommend hosts and property!
It was a beautiful fall week on the river. The colors were spectacular. We cruised the river from one end to the other. The house was again a comfortable and homey place to stay.
The house is beautiful and the river is spectacular. There are many activities to enjoy, kayaking, fishing, star gazing, bike riding and many more. It really was a great vacation.Todd and Dawn are great hosts and run a wonderful and peaceful oasis here.
This place was perfect for us! The amenities were fantastic, the beds were comfortable, and the setting is peaceful and quiet. We were thrilled to find this place for a 3 night visit with family, and we're already planning a return visit! Thank you for hosting us, Todd & Dawn!
