The Bluff House - Great for fall color! in Muskegon

The Bluff House is perched on a dune overlooking Bluffton Bay and
Muskegon Lake, on a peninsula between Muskegon Lake and Lake
Michigan. The Bluffton area has a fascinating history and is a
safe, friendly place to stay. It’s a place to relax and enjoy the
beauty of Muskegon Lake and Lake Michigan and the surrounding dunes
and forests. One can let their creative juices flow, or enjoy the
work of several resident artists at local galleries in Lakeside and
Muskegon.
The view from the Bluff House is its finest point – 180 degree
view of Bluffton Bay and Muskegon Lake. There is a large deck in
the front and a small screened patio in the back. You can sit in
the living room and enjoy the lake view or enjoy the surrounding
trees and shrubs in the back. It’s a very secluded environment, yet
it’s still in the city with all the activities an urban area
entails. The Muskegon Yacht Club is directly across the street and
the skippers are always looking for crew on Wednesday nights.
Sunrises are a specialty at The Bluff House. Enjoying your
coffee or breakfast on the deck watching a spectacular sunrise
really is the best way to start the day. There are some incredible
pink skies to stimulate your visual sense. Sunsets – you are on
your own. However, it’s just a half mile to our beautiful sandy
Lake Michigan beaches. A short walk, ride your bike, or drive to a
delightful experience. Our beaches, breakwalls, and lighthouses
will take your breath away. Take your fishing pole with you when
you walk on the breakwater. (I don’t know why we call it the
breakwater, but we do.)
There are a variety of ways to get to The Bluff House. One can
arrive by car, utilizing the highways a few miles away. There is
also the cross lake ferry which has three runs a day between Muskegon
and Milwaukee just down the street a mile or two. One could get on
the ferry in Milwaukee with their bike and arrive at The Bluff House
within 10 minutes. There are many beautiful bike trails along Lake
Michigan and Muskegon Lake along the dunes and through wetlands. If
you are a member of another yacht club, you could come by boat, dock
at the Muskegon Yacht Club, and utilize the facilities such as the
bar, resturant, and pool. Your boat will be visible from the deck
of The Bluff House.

The Bluff House is a furnished, year round home. There are
sleeping arrangements for 8.  We also have four adult size bikes, but you must bring your own helmet.
Important factor – because of the home being perched on a
dune,the stairway to The Bluff House is steep. If
you are stairway challenged, you will need to drive your car up to the garage. Smoking is allowed only outside the house and butts must be removed from premises. 
There is a steep – I MEAN STEEP – driveway up to the garage.   There is parking at the foot of the driveway and at our house which is next door.

The Muskegon area is loaded with activities of all kinds. One can
hike the dunes or visit a world class art museum. Clean water and
sandy beaches are probably the biggest attraction with all the
associated activities of boating & swimming. There are two state
parks, two water parks, great restaurants, superb biking paths - I
could go on and on. Of course, the most important factor are the
four ice cream stores within biking distance of The Bluff House.
Sailing and swimming lessons are available across the street at the
Muskegon Yacht Club. There are also skippered sailboat and fishing
charters for an additional fee.

Believe me, there is a lot to do and see in the Muskegon/Bluffton
area.
