Croton Pond Vacation Retreat (#41520)

Newaygo, Michigan
 

Description of the Newaygo vacation cottage rental

Croton Shores Cottage is nestled on a wooded hillside in a cove along the western shore of beautiful Croton Pond, a 1,320-acre boating and fishing lake that's part of the Muskegon River between historic Croton and Hardy Dams.

Surrounded on three sides by woods, there's plenty of privacy for lounging on the deck or enjoying an evening fire at the fire pit.

This is the perfect place to slow your pace, relive favorite memories from childhood summers at the lake and create a great fish story!

Discover the abundance of local wildlife. From your private dock you can observe swans, blue heron, turtles, geese, ducks and maybe even the elusive bald eagle--all in their natural habitat. Catch a glimpse of resident deer taking a stroll, or watch as wild turkeys wander out from the woods. These encounters with wildlife will create special vacation memories.

Area Description

Bring your own boat, and you'll have direct access to four miles of waterway--from the grand waters above Croton Dam, up the Muskegon River to Hardy Dam. A public launch just below Croton Dam gives you access to miles and miles of some of the best fishing waters around.

This is a haven for water enthusiasts. Muskegon River is ideal for canoes, kayaks, boats or tubes. A summer day on Croton Pond finds pontoon boats, power boats of all sizes, water skiers and personal watercraft.

If you prefer your outdoor fun on land, you'll enjoy the miles and miles of woodland trails that beckon casual walkers, serious hikers, horse riders, dirt bikers and snowmobile enthusiasts alike.

Area golf courses offer challenge on the greens. Free parks provide picnics and swimming.

The town of Newaygo is a true delight--with its interesting shops, diverse eateries, artistic murals, seasonal festivals, homespun farmers market, riverside parks, and more.

Owner Supplied Testimonials
Just wanted to tell you how very much we enjoyed the "cabin"!! We have stayed in cabins throughout Michigan, Indiana, Arkansas, Tennessee & even Utah and your house was far and away the BEST!!! I'm pretty critical...but your cabin was the cleanest, LOVED the sparkling white fluffy towels and wash cloths!! The plates matched and were not chipped or cracked, the beds were comfortable and the sheets matched. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware that was not battered & bent, and all the necessities like scotch tape, scissors, screw driver, as well as cooking utensils were right there. We slept well, ate well...and relaxed well. The fall colors against the lake were amazing to watch in the sunlight from the cabin. Our hope is to visit you again next September for more relaxing and salmon fishing. Dinah F., Jenks, OK

Definitely recommend this "lakeshore cottage" owned by Joy & Ken. Enjoyed watching nature & really appreciating God's world. The scenery is beautiful.
Gerry & Dianne C, Bad Axe, MI

A-OKAY! I would come back with just my spouse! I think this would be awesome in the fall or winter months.
Michele H, Illinois

This cabin was such a nice surprise! Everything is clean, "modern" (new not old), and accessible.
