COVID-19 note: We recognize this is a difficult time for many, including ourselves, who may be hesitant to travel. Our property is ALWAYS very clean and is as safe a place as you could ever want to be and we encourage people to plan trips and/or continue with their plans to get away, especially if you are travelling by private car or plane. We have a strict cancellation policy which we are willing to adjust by offering rescheduling or the possibility of a refund if the property can be rebooked less a 20% service fee. Thank you for your understanding during these unprecedented times. Together we will get thru it. Wishing everyone safe travels and good health.

This property was new to the market for summer 2018 after a complete remodel and repurposing of this 100+ year old church!!

No jellyfish, no sharks, no stingrays, no sand fleas, no urchins...nothing to bite or sting you here! World class sunrises and sunsets over 2 lakes, and an incredible clean sand beach recently voted Best Beach in Michigan...and that's saying a lot. It is actually beautiful here year round, great for fall, winter, and spring holidays or vacations. Here is another video that shows the areas right around the property. https://youtu.be/3eMnRV_4QPE Here are a few handwritten reviews from some our first renters (non VRBO): "We made some wonderful family memories at the Bluffton Church. We were privileged to be one of the first to rent. Inge and Roberto were most hospitable and kind. We appreciated all the details and fine touches of the renovation. This place embodies tradition and has been brought back to life. Thank you!" Jeff, Marilyn, Audrey

We were here for a family wedding in Muskegon, and the large gathering spaces were wonderful for reconnecting with our Michigan family as well as having a spot for the teens to watch movies while the adults played board games. We walked to Pere Marquette beach multiple times each day and also enjoyed walking down to the Muskegon Yacht Club and then along the lake road to the natural area. What a special neighborhood. Great kitchen and having the bathrooms detached from the bedrooms made them easier to share. Our teens also played frisbee and spike ball in the great side yard. We felt like we were living in a little piece of history.

Sorry/Not Sorry for the Dad Joke. This was our second stay at this property. We really enjoyed it both times. We have had a large multigenerational group staying there and it worked really well for us. Both times over the December Holidays. Quiet neighborhood with lots of room inside, clean, and plenty of amenities plus the uniqueness of the property.

Roberto's converted church is spotless and comfortable with high-quality furnishings. My family met in Muskegon for a reunion and were delighted with this huge space. It was really great to just hang-out as a family, both at the church cottage and at the beach. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The church's former sanctuary is a now a spacious living room with super comfy couches, a huge puzzle/coffee table, a dining area and an extra kitchen. The nice sound system was a bonus. The lower level has another big dining table and a larger, main kitchen, and a sleeper sofa. We loved the shady outdoor areas (a patio, an upper deck and a huge lawn). Parking is always available in front of the church. This peaceful neighborhood is just a 10-minute walk or a 2-minute drive to the beach. Roberto's conversion of this church into a cottage is truly lovely. With an architect's eye, he maintained several of the original features and created very nice living spaces. He lives nearby the church cottage, so the check-in process was super convenient. It's a great place with a great host. We will definitely be back.
