Graduation trip

Our son graduated form MCO. He had to be on campus for the week prior. We chose to get the cabin so his father and I could have some family down-time before the ceremony. It was a perfect choice! very quiet and relaxing. Perfect for 3 adults. The view of the river is exceptional.

Delightful secluded cabin with all that you need for your stay and check in and check out was seamless and host very friendly and responsive. Beautiful view of the Muskegon River. Locals were friendly, close to Big Rapids for a run in to a restaurant if that's what you want to do.

Not what is was advertised.

Our first impression was it was wide open. The neighbors watched us whenever we were outside. The entire back yard was littered with dog crap, discarded building supplies, beer caps. No worries, we won't be back.

Relaxing River Cabin appropriately named!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay. When I arrived, it was becoming clear that it was going to snow overnight and then get very very cold. I was thankful to have restaurants and grocery stores close! After stocking up for the weekend, I just stayed put, and relaxed, and really enjoyed the view of the river as I sipped tea and let the world melt away. Didn’t get to XC ski or FatBike, I was just too cozy. Maybe next time. Definitely will be a next time. This was just what I needed:)

very relaxing and beautiful

We loved this little cottage with the lovely view of the river. We thoroughly enjoyed the little place and the peacefulness at night. My daughter and I both sat on the perch closer to the river and enjoyed the nature. Speaking of nature, are only suggestions, if that the steps to the river were a bit sticky with sap and we were greeted by some ants that seemed to come into the house each time we opened the door. Not sure what can be done about the latter since it is out in nature :). All and all, very happy we rented it.
