Fantastic Fourth of July Vacation

We loved rafting and kayaking. The cabin is wonderful . The only detractor was using an extension ladder to access the river. There is no way to launch kayaks at the property. The access to the river not easy, but we managed.

Clean and cute with a beautiful view.

We stayed four nights in Oct 2024, it was enough off the beaten path to be super relaxing but close enough to do som great fall driving rltours and lighthouse visits. We had everything we needed and the property was well cared for.

Clean, Quiet and Scenic

We had a very satisfying stay at this property. The primary draw is the scenic setting on a quiet stretch of the Muskegon River. The main living areas of the house have windows to take advantage of the river views. There is also a spacious deck with the same. The interior is well equipped with newer (Ikea?) furnishings. While there are three bedrooms, the room with the bunk bed and trundle is small and best suited for children or a single adult in our opinion. And while on the subject of children, there is a small bluff descending to the river. Parties with children should be mindful of that. Great communication with owners. Would recommend and stay again. Thanks!

Great time on the river

The cabin is very well stocked and welcoming and has everything you need and more!! The only down side was the fact my dog could not access the water and also fishing was difficult from this location. . I would have appreciated the info that the river is not acessible except by sketchy ladder. Otherwise would reccomend for the relaxing time

Short trip

We made a quick trip to put eyes on my 89 year old father, property was within 3 miles of his house so it was perfect. Living room furniture could be more comfortable but overall it is beautifully decorated and very homey and inviting. Will definitely be back.

Nice place

We had a nice stay. The beds were comfortable. We didn’t spend much time at the house during the day and it was kinda rainy when we were there so we did not get to enjoy the large deck and river location but it lots of comfortable outdoor chairs and dining table.

Great girls trip weekend!

We stayed here for a bachelorette retreat weekend and had a blast! The property was peaceful and beautiful, with gorgeous river front views. We did a river float with the tubes provided and all had so much fun!

House was very clean and all needed amenities were included. We enjoyed the isolated location, tubing on the river, fishing, cooking out on the Blackstone, relaxing by the campfire, and golfing at nearby courses. Highly recommend!

Spacious and clean with beautiful views

The cabin was the perfect home base this weekend while we visited family. It’s spacious and clean, stocked with all kinds of good stuff (coffee, sugar, condiments, paper plates, ziploc, books, puzzles, etc) and the host was very responsive. The views are gorgeous, the air conditioning is ice cold, and the location was convenient at just a few minutes from Hersey. This is also the first place we’ve stayed where the checkout to-do list isn’t a mile long. It made packing up and leaving with my family a much less stressful experience. Highly recommend this property!

Great spot along the river!

We really enjoyed having access to the river and such a great space to hang out outside. I could see how the ladder down to the river could be tough for people with physical limitations, but our group didn’t have a problem. We enjoyed space out front for yard games and being able to use the garage to hang out when we got a little bit of rain. Definitely recommend for a group looking to enjoy time outside or on the river!

Relaxing Getaway

PROS: Good communication with property manager Easy to locate Very quiet Gorgeous view of the river Spacious deck Nice firepit Lots of room inside Beds were comfortable TV/WiFi good and easy to use Kitchen well stocked with necessary utensils/appliances CONS: No easy access to river (wasn't able to get in and enjoy it in that way) Furniture in living areas wasn't something you could relax on. Very uncomfortable. Had trouble regulating temperature at night so it wasn't hot sleeping. Overall, it was a really nice place. Making the river easily accessible and adding a few pieces of furniture you could relax on would make it about perfect.

Beautiful Home!

Julie is such an easy going host who has great communication. The property is just as pictured. Everyone couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the house is. It’s right on the river although getting down to the river is somewhat difficult. We definitely would book again.

Beauty on the river!

We were so fortunate to find this gem at the last minute after leaving the flithy place we had rented at the end of our Michigan vacation. The check in was a breeze and we settled in for three relaxing days before heading home. The back yard overlooking the river and enjoying the fire pit was where we spent most of our time. The house had all we needed and many extras too (we enjoyed the brand new water shoes and tubes to float the river). We would definitely return and highly recommend this rental to others.

Beautiful

This was a truly beautiful home with gorgeous decor. The view from the deck was perfect and the made sitting outside a wonderful experience with the sounds and sites. The host provided plenty of extras and various items from: microwave popcorn to shampoo if you forgot yours. The ability to wash and dry our dirty clothes to pack back up was great! The dart board, foosball, and board games were really nice to have. Our only con for the trip was the lack of accessibility to the actual river. Unfortunately, the river can only be accessed from a 12ft aluminum extension ladder, which is not easily used for all individuals. So we were unable to actually enjoy the river at the home, which was the main reason for our stay. Instead we went to the local park/campground and paid $30 for their two hour tube trip, which was fine, just not exactly what we were looking forward to.
