This riverfront retreat is nestled deep in the forest with expansive views of the meandering Muskegon river. Indoor and outdoor fireplaces, an outdoor kitchen, and master suite with views are just some of the unique aspects of this "up north" home.
Kayak the river, walk the scenic roads, gaze at the stars or spend nights by a cozy fire. This home is incredibly secluded for privacy and peace of mind.
Whether you settle in or enjoy the outdoors, you’ll be at home and leave with unforgettable memories.
★THE SPACE★
Golden Valley Retreat is a modern styled and furnished ranch with a warm and inviting interior and rustic influences throughout. Along the banks of the gently flowing Muskegon River, the home is perfect for all year use and located near snowmobile, biking and hiking trails. Enjoy roasting marshmallows by one of three firepits, gazing at the stars, listening to the birds chirp, hearing the frogs croak at night or curled up inside watching the snow fall on a winter wonderland.
Designed to combine mid-century modern vibes with a rustic influence, you can relax with maximum comfort whether you stay inside or create an outdoor adventure. Your stay will be an unforgettable experience where you can reconnect with your significant other, family, kids or lifelong friends.
With an influence on entertaining, a large outdoor pavilion was built with a wood-fired Argentinian grill and ample covered seating. Nearby, you'll find a modern smokeless fire pit or if you prefer you can roam down to the river to enjoy a traditional river rock surrounded fire pit while watching the river flow by. Finish off the evening with a sweat in the traditional Scandinavian Barrel Sauna made from premium cedar planks.
Located in Central Michigan, Golden Valley Retreat sits in the middle of a 5 acre parcel a few minutes from Reed City, Michigan and the nearby towns of Chase, Hersey, Evart, Big Rapids, Sears, Marion, and Tustin. Central Michigan is the perfect destination at only an hour and a half from Grand Rapids, two and a half hours from Detroit, and three and a half hours from Chicago.
