My wife and I stayed for our anniversary. We did not have cell phone reception and it was a welcomed change. It gave a very relaxing place to disconnect from the world.

It was very nice and peaceful, the river right now in the backyard did a little bit of fishing, the only thing that could make it better is maybe some cable or Wi-Fi

Nice getaway

We were looking for a quiet retreat for our family close to our favorite Michigan beach. This fit the bill. The lack of internet was such a nice break. We loved the extensive movie collection.

What a great stay. The pics do not do the place justice. Seems too often the opposite is true. Clean, renovated, right on the river where we caught a few trout, and peaceful. Whole family loved it.

Cabin

Was a very nice cabin with excellent access to Pere Marquette river. No cell service or wifi, that was a bit of a challenge. When I arrived the cabin was 82 inside with no window screens installed. I found the screens in the garage and installed them so I could make the inside bearable. The cabin seemed pretty duaty inside toiletries were scarce but I managed. I truly loved the cabin and its layout. There was ample room and outdoor furnishings available.

Best Cottage on the River

This was our third year here for a week. We love love the new deck and siding! Such a treasure I hate sharing how much we love this place for fear it will be booked up when I want to stay. Very homey and comfortable! It’s the next best thing to owning the place myself. ur favorite place to get away for a peaceful week. And our dogs come too because they love the big back yard and sitting on the river deck watching the fish go by. A++
