Another great memory
Sisters getting together for a couple of priceless days. This was a great cabin to catch up on some old stories of our past & present lives. Thecabin was very clean well equipped & very cozy. The flowing river & bird feeders full of several Michigan bird species just outside the sliding glass was awesome. Thanks.

Great family getaway spot
Checkin was smooth with no issues - we actually never needed to contact the host as the house was clean and everything was functioning properly.
There are some other properties close by but everything was quiet as could be. The river flowing just steps away from the house is super peaceful and the wooded area across the river provided for some nice views of the wildlife.
It was too cold to enjoy much of the outside in December, but the patio and firepit area would be great in some warmer weather.
The kitchen had all the necessities needed to prepare meals and the appliances are up to date and well-maintained.
We would not hesitate to visit again!

Exactly what we were looking for!
This vrbo was exactly what we were looking for, for a long weekend with our family. We did a day at the Soaring Eagle waterpark with our kids. We didn't want to stay at the hotel, so this was a great option to relax and have our own space.
The kids absolutely loved all of the board games, the pacman arcade game, and the lego table! We had our coffee by the river in the morning and roasted marshmallows by the bonfire at night. Great stay!

Perfect long weekend getaway!
This was the perfect place to get away with just the three of us, it was clean, quiet, and relaxing. Sat out on the deck with our morning coffee and it was delightful! Even had a bonfire and sat in the fun hammock chairs! Everything you need is at the house. Thank you for sharing your space with us!

Perfect for a few day get away
Our kids loved fishing right off the river and sitting in the swing chairs. We chose to go to Buckleys for the river ride and it worked out perfectly!

Lovely!
We loved the swings and hammocks around the fire pit! Enjoyed morning coffee with all the birds sitting on the bank of the river. Cooked a delicious meal on the Blackstone grill. Wifi was amazing and covered the entire property.
Thanks you for letting us share in this wonderful retreat.

Nice house on the river
If you’re looking for a quiet place, this is it. It’s a really nice, renovated house right on the river , that has all the necessities you might need. It has plenty of board games ( for a rainy days) as well as the outside fun activities( valleyball net, fire pit, bird feeders). Nicole, was quick to respond to my question and the check in process was easy.

Relaxing weekend
Overall great experience, the place was as pictured but was somehow still better than expected. Sitting by the river with friends was a great way to spend memorial day weekend and the property made it even better. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing weekend.
Overall the Beaver's Den was a nice destination for a get-away. Even though there are many houses around the Den, it was generally very quiet. Very much enjoyed watching the woodpeckers, blue jays and hummingbirds enjoying the bird feeders. Would definitely stay here again if it's available when I'm in the area. Tried to kayak on the Chippewa River but gave up. The river moves deceptively fast and with no experience kayaking and traveling alone I decided trying to kayak would be a very bad idea.
For groceries there is a nice store in Evart and in Mt. Pleasant there is a Meijer's and Wal-Mart. Barryton does have a Dollar General but I don't know about the quality or variety of their food selection.
Do note that the air conditioning is window AC units and not central air. The window AC units are on the noisy side. There was also a number of moths and mosquitoes in the Den at times, most likely because the gap between the upper and lower window sashes with the AC units had not been blocked in some way. Also the floors weren't particularly clean. Ran the swiffer around the Den. It picked up a fair amount dirt and hair which I know wasn't my hair since my head is shaved, beard is very short and the hair was way longer than any hair that I have.

Mesmerizing River Sounds
We really enjoyed our stay. We stayed during the week and it appeared that most of the homes were vacation cottages so it was very peaceful and quiet. We would stay again.

Beautiful and peaceful getaway
This property was beautiful and the perfect getaway for my kids and I. We had a couple of rainy days but the endless amounts of Legos, puzzles, games, and coloring books kept us busy. Beautiful place in a peaceful setting!

Relaxing Getaway
Such a cute little place with a beautiful setting on the Chippewa River. We had a very relaxing, but far too short, weekend. The swings/hammocks around the firepit were perfect. Didn't have a lot of luck fishing, but had a lot of fun trying. We would definitely love to return one day.
