About this property

Muskegon River Cabin

Welcome to our cabin on the Muskegon River. Our 1400 square foot cabin is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom cabin that has recently been updated. Enjoy the feel of a traditional Michigan cabin on the river with modern comforts. There is plenty of room to stretch out and relax in the den overlooking the river or upstairs in the entertainment room. The entertainment room has a foosball table, dart board and futon sleeper (full size) if you need additional sleeping space.

We do have high-speed fiber internet (wifi) if you want or need to be reached; otherwise, enjoy the solitude of the woods and river. While the inside of the cabin is comfortable and enjoyable, we can't compete with the beautiful scenery and wildlife outside. Enjoy fishing from the 200' of river frontage that is a few steps off of the porch.

If you want to canoe/kayak/tube, this is an easy great location. You can chose short or medium length trips from upstream at either the Hersey bridge or from Evart, or you can float downstream to Paris or Big Rapids.
There is an electric mini-split unit and a window unit downstairs and an AC unit upstairs if needed. We are in the woods, so we have nice fresh cold well water.
Whether you are traveling to see family, looking for a base for hunting season, enjoying opening weekend of trout season, or simply want a quiet weekend away, we hope you find our cabin as comfortable and relaxing as we do.
You will find the following amenities:
Full functioning kitchen (full size refrigerator and stove, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, plates, silverware, pots, pans, skillets, etc.)
Full size bathtub and shower
Hot and cold water
Smart TV, DVD player
Foosball Table, Dart Board and some indoor games
Heat and air conditioning
Dining table (view of river)
Couch and 2 recliners (with view of river)
2 full size beds and 1 full size futon mattress
fresh linens (towels, washcloths, sheets, comforters, dishtowels) - please bring your own towels for use on the river
Gas Grill
Fire pit with firewood
If you bring clothes, food and drinks, and you will survive and be happy!
If you don't want to cook, it is a short drive to Hersey, Evart, Reed City and Big Rapids.
We love animals, but unfortunately have allergies in the family, so pets aren't allowed.

Best VRBO Yet!

We can't say enough about how great this place is. We came here twice this year and a family member booked a separate trip as well. Great spot, everything you need and lots to do. The hosts' communication was some of the best I've ever had -- they really make sure you're kept informed and feel welcome.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property for our annual girls weekend! We floated from the cabin down to Paris Park (6 hours in tubes).
