Nice little cabin

We enjoyed the feel of the cabin. It was an especially perfect location for where we were visiting. The open space was great for our little one to play and unwind.

FILTHY, and unsympathetic response from owners.Unfortunately, we missed our first opportunity for a pic when we arrived and discovered dirty water and sponge left in the kitchen sink. Also, due to the limitations here I couldn't include the pics of the many other things including hair infested sheets (despite the beds being nearly made.) We arrived to find the dirty sink water, but it quickly escalated when began to look closer. Hair and grime in the tub, hair and grime in the bath mat and at the base of the tub and toilet, as well as around the base of the bathroom wall trim, toothpaste splatter on the faucet and mirror with globs of toothpaste in the sink, broken shower rack that fell in on me while I was showering (rusted out joint), human hair on the sheets on both beds, animal hair on the living room furniture, deck table and chairs covered in pine bows and debris, non-functional grill, towels left in the dryer, bathroom not stocked as promised, clogged vacuums, nearly empty tissue box with no replacement available (we bought another one and left it), etc. We attempted to contact the hosts via text and thru the VRBO link but got no response. Eventually, we called the number left for us and we're able to express our concerns. Immediately, Ryan got defensive, not sympathetic or even apologetic. The only action they offered (the next morning) was to have us check out and get a refund. Due to limitations of this review, this is all I can say. I am seeking a refund.

Naturally perfect

Beautiful property. The backyard and neighborhood made it for us! Very quiet and surrounded by woods! Very private. The house is open floor plan and charming! It’s lacking a few personal touches I think, but we were there for the outdoors anyway! Beds are a bit small but again doable for the weekend. Perfect getaway and we hope to be back again soon!!

The property was nice and the location was peaceful. Everything looked exactly as advertised and the surrounding forest was the perfect background. The one downside was that the place smelled of wet dogs, so a thorough cleaning was in order upon arrival, and unfortunately nothing could be done for the smell in the couch. Besides that, the cabin and location was everything we had hoped for.

Great Escape

This place was so quiet and peaceful! Also, so close to everything you want or need. It has a real up north feel. The tv is not hooked up to internet, so bring DVD's. Honestly though, at night, having a bonfire is way better! And yes, bring some towels! My hubby and I went to the Knot Hole in Comins for dinner one night. I gotta say, the burgers were fantastic! We plan on vacationing here again for sure!

Disappointing on almost every level. I booked the property on the basis of the description of 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms. I arrived Friday afternoon and only stayed long enough to drop off clothes, as I was performing at a music festival that evening. My roommate went straight to the festival for a soundcheck and never even saw the property on Friday. We did not get back to the cabin until early Saturday morning. It wasn't until we woke up Saturday that we realized there was only one bathroom. I contacted the owners and hadn't heard back from them by the time we left to spend all of Saturday at the festival. When I finally received a response they claimed the listing was always for 2 BR/1 bath. Then they claimed VRBO messed up the listing somehow. When I checked, the listing had changed to 1 bath. The owners blamed VRBO and VRBO walked away from the problem. Also, be aware that an destructive ice storm over the Winter has decimated the woods in the area and the property and the area have a lot of deadwood - which the owners informed me of on Tuesday. Our communication back and forth was hampered by their slow responses. In summation, the property description was inaccurate. The owners response was that it was not their fault and we should have reported the issue earlier, even though we reported it as soon as we noticed it they and were slow to respond. VRBO was not helpful.

Last minute fall color tour by the amazing AuSable River. Great area for many adventures. Had a great time running the trails through the National Forest along the river. Only 10 mins to Mio for a quick run to pick up carry out. The River House is solid. Pet friendly property for all those who refuse to leave your hairy faced children at home. Always appreciate those who understand that our pets are members of our family. Thanks so much for the use of your property.

Quiet neighborhood location, comfortable space for the dogs. Nesled in the pines however they did suffer a lot of damage during this years ice storms- the backyard and left of house are still in process of clean up. The creek behind the cabin is small and not easily accessible for fishing. The inside was clean, comfortable and cute. Washer and dryer a big bonus.

Clean and Comfortable Little Cabin

The cabin is very clean. The beds and pillows are comfortable. The surrounding area is nice and quiet. There are a lot of lakes and trails a short drive away. The scenery is very wooded. Unfortunately, the property and surrounding area is still being cleared out from last year's ice storm. The trails around the cabin are too overgrown to travel very far. I wasn't able to get down the hill behind the cabin to see the creek. That was a little disappointing but overall, it is a nice place for the price. I would stay there again.

Not as clean as other reviews, in need of updates

There are cobwebs on light fixtures, cobwebs on walls and ceilings. Spills down lower cabinet, sticky upper cabinets and other food type spills that were not cleaned. The closest receptacle to plug in the only window unit, bottom plug was broken and covered with clear tape. The bathroom exhaust fan sounded like it could fall on your head or take flight and the wallpaper in bathroom was peeling and had mold. The whole place had peeling paint inside and out. And no one bothers to maintain the outside, like clean up, replace broken chairs. All around janky, but you get what you pay for. Oh and the beds were uncomfortable, hard as a rock. The batteries for the ceiling fan remote were missing, so that didnt work. Please clean the stand fan in the closet-disgusting. Also, bring your own paper products. Luckily we brought our own paper towel, plates, napkins, kleenex. You can tell that this cabin is strictly an investment property, no one loves it and it shows. It served it's purpose, but we won't be repeat customers.

Beautiful pine forest and cute cabin

Small, but clean and cozy little cabin. Was perfect for 5 adults and 2 dogs. We really enjoyed the privacy and beauty of the surrounding pine forest. Perfect little bonfire spot to relax around in the back of the house. Had all the basics we needed stocked too. We would definitely go back!
