Being that we are right on a National Blue Ribbon Trout Stream, Brown and Rainbow trout fishing is a great attraction but not the only one. You can also kayak or canoe the river or just float down on a tube. Sitting on our deck allows you to relax and enjoy the view. There are many small lakes around that you can visit and fish. We are about 30 minutes to the Lake Michigan towns of Silver Lake, Pentwater or Ludington. which offer unique shops, waterfront vistas, sand dunes and nice restaurants and bars. Ludington is also home to a beatiful state park with many miles of walking or bicycle riding trails. Hart is located about 25 minutes away and is the gateway to Silver Lake State Park and Dunes, a huge recreational complex situated between Silver Lake and Lake Michigan. You can go and climb the dunes and walk to Lake Michigan or ride the world famous Mac Woods Dune Scooters or rent your own 4 wheeler and take it one the dunes! To the north about 1 hour on Lake Michigan is Manistee, a quaint local village and home to the Little River Casino. You can continue to the north on the scenic M-22 roadway, which is a beautiful car ride along Lake Michigan and it takes you through small towns like Onekema, Arcadia, Frankfurt, Empire and Glen Arbor. Empire is home to the famous Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. At that point you are only a few miles from Traverse City. There are many local breweries in these towns and up north you have many beautiful wineries that offer very tasty wines and tours.

We had an excellent stay! The cabin was at a great spot on the river for fishing, swimming, and kayaking. Check in and out was simple, the owners were responsive, and the cabin was well equipped and comfortable. Loved that it was pet friendly. We throughly enjoyed the porch, the quiet, and the views.
From top to bottom, one of the best VRBO experiences I have had. Wonderful setting, wonderful home, wonderfully kept, everything in place properly, wonderful hosts.

Thank you Ed! We were happy that you enjoyed yourself at Riverbend Cabin! Dave and Sue
This place is very special for those looking for a beautiful and peaceful getaway. We all enjoyed the property with everything you need to relax in comfort surrounded by nature. We had so much fun fly fishing just steps from the grand deck, and all the nearby PM spots, our only regret was not having enough time off work to be there through the Chinook runs this year.
The cabin was perfect for our family of four. We saw turkeys and deer daily, and the river was peaceful. I was also pleasantly surprised that it had internet and AC!

We rented this cabin and the one next store owned by the same host. It was wonderful. The river was beautiful. The host was very nice and attentive. Went to Pentwater to shop and to Baldwin for that a float down the pers Marquette. These cabins were comfortable and perfect for family. Had everything we need! We would definitely rent this again.
We thoroughly enjoyed the comfort of the place, and the river views. We observed the deer herd, turkeys, blue heron, other birds, and a couple of snakes on the hill below. It was a totally relaxing stay.

About the host
Hosted by Dave Nielsen
I am a retired businessman. My wife Sue and I have 2 daughters who now have families of their own. We live adjacent to this property to the north. I have been coming up to these cabins since the mid-1960's when my Dad and his brother built the original cabin next door. We love the wildlife that we see daily including deer, turkey, bald eagles and all kinds of other birds.
Why they chose this property
My Dad built this unique home in 1976. He had purchased a barn and then used a lot of the wooden beams and barnwood in constructing this home right on the river. It is grandfathered in and you can no longer build right on top of the river any more. They lived here for over 40 years. We weren't quite ready to see it sold, so we decided to purchase the properties, did a few renovations and share them with others like you!
What makes this property unique
Right on top of the river, gorgeous views, huge deck to sit and enjoy the view, read a book or have a beer. The river is very wadable for you fisherman or fisherwomen! We have a good stockpile of Brown and Rainbow Trout, along with the spring and fall runs of Steelhead and the fall run of Salmon.
