Our stay at Julie's place was excellent! The house itself was clean and well-appointed. We enjoyed the space and the amenities like the nice selection of board games and books and the binoculars! We saw a ton of wildlife - turtles, birds, deer, fish, and even a mink! Our group was also able to utilize the tubes provided and floated the river down to the Green Charter Twp Muskegon Boat Launch (3.5 hours). Recommend Pizza in Paris for your post-float recharge. Overall, we had a wonderful time relaxing and recharging. Thanks for a great stay!

We stayed in Hersey for our family Christmas at our dad’s house. The river retreat was just perfect for our needs. Rooms were more than comfortable; everything was easy to find. We saw a pair of bald eagles across the river, along with lots of other beautiful winter scenerey. One of us has limited mobility and found everything very, very accessible, which was great. Our hosts were kind and flexible given the inclement weather we faced. We’ll definitely stay again and look forward to a summer booking to enjoy the deck and river.

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.

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!

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.

Relaxing Getaway

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.

Home was very clean and comfortable in a quiet area. It was our home base while attending the Evert Dulcimer festival. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed to make meals and plenty of space for us to spread out and practice our instruments. While the river was very inviting, we didn’t have time to get out on the water. We have all decided that next year we will need to extend our stay so we can attend the festival and enjoy the river and/or nearby bike trail. We are looking forward to making it an annual trip.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

Welcome to our River Retreat! We fell in love with the Hersey area for it's small town quaintness, yet still close to Grand Rapids. We love unplugging and watching the river, along with all the wildlife that roams around the house. Hope you love it as much as we have!
