Lovely Cabin!

This cabin was exactly what my family and I were looking for. Restaurants, groceries, lakes and plenty of other attractions are very close but still located in a peaceful and relaxing area. Plus, our host Larry went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and stress-free. Truly a top-notch host! We plan to visit again!

Relaxing Property and Very Clean

The cabin is very clean and has several areas to gather, watch tv or do puzzles. We saw several kayaks go down the river and saw a variety of birds and other wildlife. We enjoyed the swing in the yard and the close proximity to Castle Farms in Charlevoix. It was only a short drive to other areas of interest as well.

Perfect Time Away

What a delightful and beautiful place to stay. The owners are attentive and kind. The location was perfect for day trips and for just relaxing. There’s a swing by the river that was perfect for hours of conversation with coffee. And seats by the fire pit alongside the river for evenings spent enjoying time together. The cottage is quaint, well decorated and comfortable. This is a gem!!! Don’t miss your opportunity to stay here!!! We will be back!! What a fabulous vacation!!

Refreshing time near the Jordan River

This property is better than described. It was so beautiful inside and tastefully decorated. The large windows facing the river gave such a nice view, which helped renew us. The fully equipped kitchen had everything you need. The baths, vanities and showers were new, along with the carpet and flooring. We had a washer and dryer to do the laundry. The beds were so comfortable. Lovely linens and blankets made us cozy. It was delightful to visit with the owner. He made sure that we had everything we might need. I would rate this wonderful place higher than a 5 as it was the best rental we've ever had!

We spent a month in this updated, pristine, sparkling clean ,and fully stocked cabin. The host are top notch and very quick to provide your every need.Larry greated us at the front door and took us through the cabin patiently explaining everything to us and answering all questions about the cabin and the area.The cabin is right on the East Jordan river. It was fun watching the kayaks and canoes floating by, a very peaceful setting. There is a easy to walk beautiful 2 mile hiking trail with a newly built boardwalk over the river and wetlands to the quaint town of East Jordan, a must do.The cabin is in a great location to easily connect you to all the towns and activities in Northern Michigan. This cabin and property has a very interesting history, make sure you ask Larry about it.We definitely will return to this great property and host.Thank you Larry and your lovely wife, Lisa.

Beautifully renovated cabin, clean and well-appointed. The, I think recently added, air conditioning unit was a life saver. It was nice to be able to sit on the patio or by the river and relax in the country setting. Also, it's close enough to Charlevoix, Petoskey, and even Traverse City for day trips. Larry was helpful with recommendations in the area and for any questions we had.

Great spot on the Jordan River. A/C is a portable unit in the living room but it kept the bedroom plenty cool. The wifi is a little slow so know that if you have to work. There's a coffee shop in East Jordan if you do. Larry was always available for anything we needed

Beautiful cabin and area

Cabin is immaculate, very well appointed, decor is just lovely....no deer heads on these walls! Comfortable beds, plenty of soft towels and extra pillows/blankets. Nice firepit right beside the river, saw the northern lights our first night! Larry is an excellent host! Stopped in to introduce himself and give a quick walk through of the cabin. He even brought us a pile of firewood! Us girls were on a color tour weekend, and the cabin is very centrally located. Enjoyed the apple festival in Charlevoix, East Jorden valley color was beautiful, Petosky for rock hounding and tunnel of trees. Plan to be back in the summer with the kayaks and fishing poles! Thank you Larry.

Perfection!

This cabin was a perfect getaway for my husband and I to celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary. The cabin was stocked with all the necessities, plus many comforts of home. The bedding was so comfy and cozy. The household decorations were minimal and simply beautiful to look at. The view was very relaxing and serene. Deer came by one evening for a visit, and we saw a varieties of birds. Our host Larry was very welcoming and informative. Thank you for being a wonderful host and sharing your beautifully updated family cabin.

Cozy cottage by the river

Cozy and clean. Liked the view and peacefulness of the river. The well water had a strong sulfur odor and was unpleasant to take showers. The couch was very soft and uncomfortable to sit in and the traffic was very noisy. It was centrally located to some major cities and golf courses. We were there for two weeks but wouldn’t stay there again.

Wonderful Stay!

The cabin is beautiful and very modern. It is clean and has all the neccesities. Larry and Lisa are wonderful hosts and shared places to eat and things to do when we arrived. Honestly, our whole family wishes we would have had a few more days to stay as we wereonly there for a 4 day weekend for a family wedding. The location is great for peace and quiet but still close to town. It is also a great central location for gping to St. Ignace and Mackinac. All in all, we'd love to return someday and stay at this VRBO again.

About the host

Hosted by Larry Huckle or Lisa Huckle

Host profile image
My wife and I have been married for over 30 years and we live on the same private drive as this cabin. Our home and this cabin are the only two houses on this private drive. If you need anything while visiting, we are literally minutes away. If towing a trailer or boat, you can easily turn around at the end of the drive at our primary residence. This cabin was recently totally remodeled inside and out. Brand new appliances, kitchen, carpeting, tiled floors, all new windows, doors, etc. My grandfather built this cabin in the 1940's and it has been in my family ever since!

Why they chose this property

You'll love either sitting in the living room watching wildlife swim by in the river, or watching other canoers and kayakers paddle past you. With its close proximity to all things you want in Northern Michigan, it is a vacation spot you'll be sure to enjoy. Whether fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, skiing, golfing, or boating. It's all literally minutes away!

What makes this property unique

Close enough to all the amenities, yet far enough away to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing environment. We own over 1,300 feet of river frontage, and it is yours to explore and enjoy. The Brown Trout are especially active during the "hex hatch", where mayflies are on the river for a month in late June through July. Steelhead in the winter, with Rainbow and Brooks further up in the headwaters and tributaries. The Jordan River is designated a Natural River by the DNR and is protected. No other homes can be built within 200 feet of the river! This home is grand-fathered in.
