Walked into a white-glove clean kitchen and living room, and of course, had to check out the hot tub, and view from the deck first! Breathtaking. The staircase down to the viewing platforms are not for the faint of heart, or knees!

This cabin was amazing!! Great view of the river even when in the hot tub. Very nice and clean and best of all very relaxing without any noise. I would highly recommend staying here! This is dog friendly and my little dog loved it here and was also very relaxed.

We really enjoyed our weekend away. Loved the hot tub and the view! Bed was comfy. Cabin was cute. Owners were very nice. Only complaint from the weekend would be the bathroom being a bit awkward. Otherwise we loved our stay!

We had a great time at this quaint cabin on the river. The setting was peaceful, the cabin was cozy and clean, and the hot tub was the perfect way to relax. A wonderful getaway—we’d happily stay again.

We went for a quick winter getaway. It was very cute and quiet and perfect for a relaxing couple days. The hot tub was great. It was fun to watch the squirrels jump from tree to tree above. Would definitely stay again!

The property was very nice! The view and tree cover was what we needed to stay comfortable. We were a little disappointed there was no access for swimming and fishing because of the very large dead tree right at the river bank. It was a little hard to see the river as well, but the hot tub was amazing! There was an issue with the water dripping from the shower head and we contacted management. They were prompt and sent someone out to look at it. To no avail, the water was shut off to the shower for the last night to get some sleep. The cottage was cute and sufficient for a 3 night stay and the river, hiking and swimming nearby was wonderful! At the end of our stay the cleaning lady was sitting in her car at the end of the driveway waiting for us to leave. It made our dog very anxious and it took her a while to void her bladder. We did feel rushed. All in all, it was a nice stay!

Went with my parents and daughter to visit my oldest who lives in Big Rapids. It was perfect for us. Wish the weather would have been better so we could have enjoyed the outdoors more. I would love to stay in the summer. I bet it is beautiful. We had snow while we were there and Mike sent someone to shovel the walkway for us. He was very responsive when we had questions. Will definitely stay again when back in Big Rapids.
