Awesome house and hosts!! It was spotless and had everything you could need. The coffee maker wasn’t working and one was delivered the same day. We had a fire by the peaceful river all 3 nights. It’s a bit harder walking back up so keep that in mind if you have elderly people coming.

We had a wonderful week in Northern Michigan! The accommodations were spacious and comfortable, with a beautiful view of the river. We spent evenings watching the sun set over lake Michigan, sitting outside drinking mead at St. Ambrose Cellars, or roasting s'mores by the river at the cabin. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for a group, and my husband enjoyed introducing the kids to Pac-Man Arcade-style.We had a lovely time!

Gorgeous custom cabin with anything and everything you could think of at your disposal. I highly recommend this for a big family event or a couple's get away.Everyone will enjoy the huge game room where you could spend hours playing old school video Pac-Man, bumper pool, pit even a movie. If you prefer a quiet place to sneak off to enjoy a book or board games the upstairs loft is super cool. Your kids will not able to say that have nothing to do. You absolutely will not be disappointed! The host is truly exceptional and very much a professional in the VRBO industry. We look forward to our next visit maybe to enjoy the fall colors.

Beautiful cabin! I appreciated the lay out and there was ample room for the 8 us with 3 full bathrooms and 4 bedrooms in addition to sleeper sofas. The teenagers amongst us especially loved the loft and the game room in the basement, where they could hang out separately from the adults if they wanted to (or we wanted them to!). The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The mudroom was a plus for all of our fishing rods and equipment. The river was easy to access and the tubes and kayaks were great to be able to use. Loved to big deck! The host was amazingly responsive to my every inquiry. Would highly recommend.
