Stayed Aug 28, 2025We’ve stayed at several VRBO and rental type properties over the years. This one was by far the most unique and had the most hospitable owners we’ve ever experienced. It really made a difference on the care and concern they showed to us when we arrived. Great property. Great setting. Great area. I recommend everyone try this place once.

Stayed Jul 19, 2025We were a large family group staying at the inn for a reunion. It worked well for us. It is a very well-equipped and well-organized rental. We have stayed at many vacation rentals, including a half-dozen that accommodate a similarly large number of people, and this was the best organized of all of them. It was also very clean. We did wish that it was easier to go swimming in one or another of the adjacent lakes, but we figured out ways to do that.

Stayed Jul 2, 2025What a wonderful place to stay. We had 8 adults and 10 kids all stay here and sleep comfortably. From the game room to paddle boating on the stream, riding bikes and finding near by trails for dirt biking there was plenty to keep the kids busy and the adults happy. The hosts were easy to get a hold of if we had any questions and they were so accommodating with all the little extras inside the house making our stay super easy. They have everything you need in the kitchen, grill and bathrooms. The attention detail such as labeling everything was so nice so there was no guessing where anything is. The house itself is full of fun themed rooms with lots of history that was fun to read about. Lake Michigan was only an hour away and we also went tubing down the Muskegon River which was about 5min down the road. We would definitely stay here again.

Stayed Oct 13, 2023The Old Dam Inn was absolutely perfect! A group of 10 of us stayed here for a friend's wedding at Camp Newaygo, and it couldn't have gone better. The inn had more than enough space and the hosts have thought of everything. We couldn't get over how perfect the kitchen was for a big group! The garage was also the perfect place to watch the football game while shooting some pool. 5/5!

Stayed Aug 25, 2023Very fun house with an interesting history and more games than you can play. Awesome yard space and just a 1 minute paddle to the larger lakes made this a perfect spot for a reunion gathering.

Stayed Jul 5, 2023Even better than the pictures! It is such a beautiful property and the themed rooms were such a fun touch. The owners were so friendly, helpful, and responsive. We were staying in the area for a retreat and we couldn’t have picked a better location if we tried. The owners have thought of everything for their guests. Everything was labeled clearly and easy to find, we had plenty of wood for daily campfires, and enough space for all 24 of us. The weather was perfect so we enjoyed the outdoors (boats, volleyball, griddle, walks) the most but the garage was a favorite hang out spot after dark. Thanks again!

Stayed Jun 23, 2023We really enjoyed our stay. Great property! Very clean and as described. Very near lake access, enjoyed many kayak trips and swimming in the beautiful emerald lake. Kitchen is very well equipped and labeled. Could use a few more kitchen towels. Hosts are very helpful and responsive!
