Awesome vintage cabin on the river
This is a really cool property with a great view of the river nearby. Huge fireplace with tons of firewood, interior decor is definitely vintage, but I think charming now. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful location
Overall this was a nice spot. We had a little rough start but Bill took care of the issue within ten minutes of calling him. Sitting on the deck overlooking the river was just what we needed. Very quiet and relaxing. Thanks Leah

Girls Trip-Had a Blast!
The property was just as described and completely suited our needs. The 6 of us ladies had a great time, even though, the weather didn’t quite cooperate. We were able to kayak one day, and really enjoyed the river. A few of us did a little trout fishing, and we all took walks everyday. We used the grill and the grate over the fire pit. We also used the fireplace two nights because it was cold for August. We had an entire day to watch movies because it rained. We plan to make this an annual girls trip, and hope to rent the same wonderful cabin again-but this time for a longer stay!

Last Minute Vacation Decision
We had an amazing time at the river house. To be honest, the pictures on line do not do the house justice. The house had everything we wanted & more!! The house had such a good feel to it & had all the amenities that we needed. It is close to many attractions.... Petoskey, Tunnel of Trees, Mackinac Island, etc...... There was a trail head very close that we were able to use our ATV & an access to a beautiful walking/biking trail across the street. It was very quiet, relaxing & just what we were looking for!!! The owners were very accommodating to our last minute plans which was very much appreciated!!! You will not be disappointed!!!

Peaceful Stay
This property was on a nice gravel backroad. Some cars would go by pretty fast for our liking as our kids were hoping to ride their bikes down the road, so we had to be watchful of that. Small property and the river was nice to watch but not ideal for fishing as my kids were hoping. Inside the house it was beautiful with big windows in the back to watch the river. The porch on the second level was nice to sit out and watch wildlife. My kids favorite part was the shower as it warmed up quick compared to ours back at home. We were in and out most days sightseeing in the U.P. and at Onaway Speedway for the Big Rig Challenge. Travel time was not bad at all for where we stayed. Defiantly a nice place to stay. We thought this place had more acreage and were a bit discouraged when we saw how close the neighbors were. But they were friendly and welcoming. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to others.

Perfect location! Beautiful setting! The house as a ton of potential but if it were updated, I wouldn't be able to afford to stay there.
