What a place! When setting the reservation for the cabin, I didn't realize the property is so much more. The "River Cabin", the home base and lodging for my buddy and me for our fly fishing excursion, was historic, comfortable, a rustic beauty that had the modern amenities (i.e. internet, air conditioning, nice kitchen, awesome porch, deck with grill, etc.) we needed, and overlooked a classic meadow that bordered a beautiful stream. Surprisingly, however, the entire property, quiet and private, also contained 5 additional beautiful log cabins, from what I understand, all available for reservation! I could envision a family reunion here, or a group of close friends renting each and every one, to enjoy their own private, natural setting, in a beautiful region of a beautiful State, Michigan. I would be remiss if I did not say some words about the owner. Harold was a gentleman and a great host. He was responsive, conscientious, respectful of your privacy, and a downright good person. Thank you for your hospitality, Harold. I will definitely be back.
