Nice but BEWARE...
Very disappointed that owner charged me an extra $60 to replace approx 12" piece of floor molding that cracked simply by moving the kitchen chair to get up from table - it certainly was not an intentional or careless action that resulted in the damage (I wasn't even sure that it had not been cracked prior to our stay). Owner also accused us of climbing over a wire fence - we are 54 and 57 years old and would never consider such an action especially when the other side of the fence was steep drop off down to the river.

River stay
This property is clean, comfortable and fully equipped. The only downside to our experience was that the chairs outside on the back patio were broken or uncomfortable to sit on. The cloth covering the picnic table was worn and came off on your arms or clothing. Also, there is road noise from RT. 37. which if you were looking for a quiet river experience in the woods that isn't the case. Also, as the owner states, there is no access to the river from the cabin and when the leaves are out it is hard to even see the river. Overall, it is a good value for the price.

Decent location for travel to Traverse City
The access to the river was wired shut and very overgrown, so there was no kayaking. The air conditioning was a small square tower type fan, not a real A/C unit so the house was a bit too hot for sleeping.

First family vacation
We stayed for four days in July. It is a lovely little cabin. The cabin is easy to find. Our toddler loves the bunk beds, and the table overlooking the river. The hostess is excellent.

Check in was easy, the cabin was very clean, the kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with all the necessities for preparing/cooking meals. We’ll probably book this one again 😊

Short Stay on the way home
The check in process was convenient and the cabin suited our needs for one night. The cabin was well stocked with anything we might need and there was plenty of room in the front to walk our dogs.

Just off the beaten track with a super view and amenities
Easy to find and check in. Had everything we needed to have a cozy Spring weekend. Just the right amount of space. No traffic on the short road and easy access to the river, Hodenpyl Dam, and lots of National Forest trails. Short jump to Mesick for groceries and gas was very convenient. Felt very safe and the price fit our family budget nicely. Thank you, KimMe!

Short stay, good times
We were there just for the night after a cold, windy and wet color tour. The property was clean and stocked with unexpected items. I had forgotten butter for breakfast, but there was a suitable alternative in the cupboard. We ended up playing one of the many games and putting a puzzle together.

Nice place to stay!
Quaint little place to stay near Traverse city. The house was clean and well stocked with extra blankets, pillows and movies for a quiet evening. It is right on the river but it’s about a 25ft drop down to the water.

Perfect cabin getaway
We needed a place close to interlochen for the night, and this fit the bill. Perfect, quiet, secluded little house with a backyard view of the Manistee River. My daughter left her new stuffed toy behind and it was returned to us at home quickly and with a sweet note on the envelope. Thank you for your kindness and use of your property. Note: Google maps was off about the location, so I panicked for a minute. But don’t fear. Pay attention to the addresses on the mailboxes and you’ll be fine!!

Cozy cabin
Great location if you want to be away From inner city noise. Awesome back porch and hang out spot. inside the cabin was decent the kitchen was fully equipped to cook the bedrooms were decent noticed a lot of insects in the house I’m guessing due to it being in the woods also has well water so other then that for the price you can’t beat it. I plan on staying again in October.

Cute little cabin
We rented the house to stay in during the Buckley Old Engine Show which was only 5 min away. The house itself was cute, with the back porch and living room overlooking the Manistee River. The house has all the essentials and so peaceful! The bedrooms and bathroom are a little outdated but everything was so accessible and clean. Checking in and out was a breeze! So glad we stayed here!

Over night Stay
Overall the property was adequate for our needs. We just stayed overnight . The property was clean and comfortable. A couple of recommendations would be to have one or two additional fans since there is no AC on site. The lighting in the property was somewhat dim and could be improved as we had to fumble around to find lights for rooms. Finally, while there is a fire pit, it was not very inviting. A potential upgrade.
