Lovely little cabin on the river

This riverside cabin was perfect for what we needed - a spot near Cheboygan where we could work during the day and relax in the evenings. Wifi strong enough to support large Zoom meetings in kitchen, three-season porch and deck. Everything very clean and cute, and kitchen well-stocked! We loved the river and were particularly fond of the pretty early-morning mists that floated over it. Owners were kind and accommodating, with great communication. We would stay again when in the area.

Honeymoon at Black River Cabin

It was a beautiful location and pleasant for the most part. The bathroom has no exhaust fan and mold around the toilet, definitely an issue with my being pregnant. The listing stated WIFI which was important for us as our son was with babysitters who couldn't contact us at the cabin. Wasn't nearly clean enough for being charged a cleaning fee and having to sweep before we left.

Black River

Had a great stay. It was a nice base for our excursions to Mackinac Islabd and the UP. It was nice being able to catch fish right from the dock on the property.

All we can say is wow 🙂

What an amazing stay, this place is a little slice of heaven. Whether it's relaxing on the property around the fire, or out on the dock, you'll love this place. They have the house stocked with basically anything you could need and take very good care of it as well. Hope to come back!

Quiet retreat

The house was very cute and quaint. It's on a really nice river. It brought back a lot of good childhood memories and was a very comfortable stay. Being a dog friendly place to stay was really nice and accommodating. Upgrades were nice and the place was very clean.

Very Relaxing

We had no cell service on arrival and could not get on VRBO for the code or to make sure we were at the right place but the owner's wife was kind enough to come outside their home next door and help us out. Thank you for that! The cabin was clean and well-stocked. No insects anywhere! No AC but plenty of fans and windows for air flow. Slept comfortably. We caught lots of panfish, smallmouth bass, and rockbass from the dock. We even caught a turtle. Dont worry, he was fine! The kayaks were fun to use! Beautiful river. Most of the time we could see straight to the bottom. Lots of rocks but with water shoes, it was comfortable to walk and swim around in the river. Enjoyed sitting in the provided Adirondack chairs to read and watch the river. Lots of cute little squirrels and great bird watching! Neighbors were very quiet and owners respected our privacy. Our dog enjoyed squirrel watching and swimming. It rained one day off and on so we went downtown and shopped. Downtown Cheboygan is so cute! I do have a suggestion and that is to put blinds up on the windows in the kitchen and living room. We truly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this cabin!

Comfortable, Quiet Place

Nice place to stay for a week while in town for a seminar. Shades in the bedroom would have been nice as the sheer curtains let in a lot of light. There is very low cell signal, so this should probably be noted in the description for those who may have emergency calls they have to be available for. Owners are very nice and respectful of privacy.

Relaxing Vacation

Absolutely loved our stay at Peaceful Cabin. It was clean! It lived up to its name of "Peaceful Cabin" and was very relaxing and quite. Loved being close to the water and central to various cities in Michigan. We were roughly 25 miles to the UP which was perfect! Will be renting again.

Reunion stay

We were surprised that we had to have our own towels/sheets ( finally found it last on the page) - wish it would have been at the top of the list as we were unprepared and had to borrow from family. Also, we had our elderly father with us and found the place not very user-friendly for him. One suggested would be a grab bar near the toilet.

Not so peaceful

Was very much looking forward to peace and quiet, like the listing boasted. There is a house being built 40 ft from the cabin. All we heard was air guns, hammers, and a construction crew cursing at one another from 8am to 5 pm daily.

Nice getaway

We had a great time fishing and kayaking on the river. The property was a nice place to stay. We could not get the drier to work. Cell phone service was not great, and WiFi was not set up yet. But it was nice to unplug and enjoy nature for a few days.

Great stay

We had a blast here. Vary quiet relaxing yet kids had a blast. The river is amazing great neighbors. Awesome place that we plan to book again. If you have a boat I would think pontoon or smaller fishing boat would work amazing. Our boat was too big for the river but was great for the lake. Tons of pan fish caught right in the river from the dock and then some good fishing in black lake. Also alot of Tubing fun on the lake. Super laid back and relaxing. Kids absolutely loved the river vary clean and shallow for swimming. Over all a great trip.

some comments

Not a complaint but to let you know the front left burner on the stove is very slow in heating up. Also you have an outlet in the living room without a cover on it. Overall we enjoyed the stay, even went kayaking in the rain when we got there. Also checked out the falls you mentioned in your guide and checked out the local eating establishments.

Perfect place!!

This cottage was perfect for what we needed! Our daughter had a softball tournament in Cheboygan. The place was very clean and cute! Bathroom was very nicely updated. It’s a retro mobile home that’s updated. Perfect spot right on the river. The owners were amazing and have the house right behind the cottage. Great people. The neighbors on the other side were quiet. We were told by the owners that the neighbors aren’t very dog friendly. The lot is smaller so just keep that in mind if you bring your dog. You have to make sure that they stay on the cottage property. Also, if you plan on fishing right there it’s very shallow so no fish right at the cabin. The lake and dam aren’t very far away so you can go fishing there. We didn’t have time to use the kayaks but they were there and very nice. Bring sheets and towels, as those aren’t provided. Highly recommend this place for a nice get away!!

About the host

Hosted by Calvin Dunn

Host profile image
My wife and I have owned this property for 30 years. We enjoy the peaceful surroundings and dining at the local establishments via ATV or boat. In addition to,. short boat rides on the river or longer excursions on the Lake. We are new to hosting and hoping to share the property with guests that will enjoy the same activities.

Why they chose this property

The property is usually very quiet and tranquil like you would expect being on a river. Wild life is abundant, we have seen plenty of deer, a badger, mink, weasels, beaver, a bear crossing the river and many different birds. You will see boaters, kayakers and fisherman enjoying the waterway.

What makes this property unique

This property is unique in that it is riverfront that leads to a very large uncrowded lake, close to ATV trails and hole 14 of Rippling Rapids Golf Course. is at the end of the drive.
