We didn’t spend much time in cabin, but when we did no complaints. Our kids liked fishing in river and enjoyed the fire pit. Close to neighbors on either side, so don’t expect total seclusion. Other than that, great little spot. ##### Aaron L.

This property was well-appointed, very clean, and the process from booking-check out was fantastic! Our party was in the area for a 4-day kayaking weekend and we could not have picked a more perfect location! The property is right on the Betsie River and near the other waterways we explored just a short drive away, including Traverse City, Sleeping Bear, the Crystal River, and the Platte River. The bedding/beds were comfortable and clean, as was the bathroom, and living spaces. It was incredibly convenient to have a washer and dryer on property as well! Everything you could possibly need with regard to supplies was there on site. The neighborhood was very quiet and I enjoyed our stay immensely! ##### Lynette B.

Found drink in coozie in the closet. Things did not feel clean like the dinning table and counter to eat on still were dirty and the pull out bed is not clean!!! So when you list it for 6 people -minus 2 for the pull out bed.... Big ole stain of some sort not quite sure what......blood; drink; not sure but overall we had a wonderful time. House is very cozy and great location for site seeing! ##### Brenda B.

It was about a 20-minute drive. The hard surfaces in the cabin were clean and we felt comfortable immediately. The beds were comfortable. For ventilation in the winter, I suppose, the walls do not extend to the ceiling in the bedrooms, so do not expect total privacy. There were several dusty areas in the cabin...under beds, around air purifiers and some cobwebs by the clearstory windows, but none of that was a deal-breaker. The cabin was equipped with all the necessary items for a pleasant stay. And the equipment available in the garage was a dream to have for the day at the lovely beach a short drive from the cabin. ##### Lisa A.

Many activities were close by including lakes, crystal mountain and beach towns. We enjoyed coming back to the cabin after a busy day and having the peace and quiet of the cabin's surroundings. Michelle, one of the owners, was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to questions. ##### Michelle B. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Debra N. 29 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### River awesome, lots of neighbors We loved the Betsie River! Having kayaks was great, too, although it takes some strength to get them down the dock and back up. The interior wood in the house is beautiful. Many items were tired & could use updating - the lock box broke while we were there but owner had quick response. It's not private. Neighbors are within feet, and there's barking dogs and even dogs wandering onto the property. Unfortunately, bulldozers were clearing a new homesite while we were there - very loud. We want to give a shout out to the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy - their numerous hiking and conservation sites provided a wonderful experience in the area! (And Geno's had great beer & pizza!) ##### Debra N. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michelle W. 16 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### No Wifi or complete walls The place was clean and nice and in a fantastic location but the listing was inaccurate. They listed Free Wifi in the list of amenities but when we arrived there was no internet. I understand that high speed internet is probably not available in that location but then don't put it in your listing. Cell service is decent but not adequate for remote work. Also the bedroom walls don't go all the way to the ceiling so there is no privacy. This is especially difficult traveling with small children who go to bed early as you can't talk, watch TV or do anything else in the cabin without them hearing. ##### Michelle W.

Need railing! Bedrooms- need new mattresses BADLY. Neither of us had one good nights sleep. Living room sofa smells badly and feel as sinking to floor on it. Shower in bathroom another accident waiting to happen. Need bar to hold onto to get in and out. Outdoors couldn’t use nice deck due bees and mosquitoes. Could have had citronella candles or something there to help. River couldn’t even get to it. Rickety steep stairs. Very disappointed wanted to fish. Sorry folks but you have some upkeep to do both inside and out. Cabin could be very nice but too steep an embankment to call it on River. It is but can’t enjoy it. Swing out by River is rotted and needs replacement. Couldn’t even set there. ##### Darana L.
