Great place to stay!!
We had an amazing stay at Paradise Resort! It was clean and inviting with lovely decor and comfortable amenities! There is a nice fire pit, gazebo and swing that overlooks the river if you want to relax outside. You can also kayak and fish off the dock. It is a great location near hiking, food and a lovely little market about a mile from the resort. I highly recommended staying here if you are looking for a quiet Michigan getaway!

Peaceful Respite
Paradise Resort was the perfect getaway for our anniversary. We stayed in one of the studios that was well equipped, clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The resort is located on a bluff, overlooking the Muskegon River. Seating areas are positioned to enjoy the serenity of the landscape. The property is equipped with a dock that jetties out to the river, and there are kayaks available for use (accessories are in the shed). Use caution on the steps down to the dock. We had the opportunity to meet Melissa, the innkeeper. She was accommodating, knowledgeable, and responsive. The resort is located on the main road through the area, resulting in some road noise; additionally, the inn’s large backyard borders a neighboring house, but is separated with a privacy fence. Our only regret, not staying longer!

Very Nice
I chose this place primarily due to the convenient location to various boat ramps on Hardy Pond. Upon arrival, it was better than advertised. The owners went out of their to make sure we had convenient/safe parking for our bass boats, along with cords/outlets to charge batteries. Would definitely stay here again.

great place at a great location
I went to mountain bike on The Dragon trail, starting at the Mile 0 trailhead at the Hardy Dam. That parking lot is a 4-minute drive from Paradise Resort.
My room was perfect for what I needed, and it was clean and well-designed with everything I needed for lodging (except food, of course).
Melissa introduced herself and is a really nice person. I had a great time on the trails, and fully intend to come back. When I do, my first choice for lodging will be to stay again at the Paradise Resort.
A Paradise Resort was just beautiful! The room was clean and comfortable. The owner was accommodating when we had a slight change of plans. When we return to the area, we will definitely stay there again.
