A gem in the woods right in the heart of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Riverwood enjoys a gorgeous location with a dock on the Lower Platte practically in its backyard. So grab a kayak or a canoe and spend your days out on the water, soaking up the summer sun or admiring the fall foliage.

This cute cottage has all the amenities of the city, but it's perfect for those who love nature, bird watching, bicycling, art, canoeing, and the national lakeshore. Enjoy an inviting living room, a full kitchen, and a private deck with a gorgeous view of the woods. The backyard is comfortable and private, just a short walk from the Lower Platte River.

Best of all, you'll be treated to very close access to national lakeshore trails and beautiful beaches on Lake Michigan.

Mostly great but things to be aware of

Private, quiet location. Be aware there's no dining chairs/table so my 80-year-old parents could not sit on the very high barstools to eat. No directions about the "shared access dock" so a bit misleading. Suited our needs otherwise. Really great accommodations for price.

You will not be able to get ahold of anyone.

The beds were very uncomfortable, we arrived and could not find the shared dock, I reached out and was told it was within 500 ft of property. I knew it was going to be seared access through someone’s yard so we were unable to use the water which was one of the main reasons we booked this property. The stove went out on day 3 of our stay and they were unable to fix it so we were unable to cook what we had brought for dinners. I would not stay at this property again.

Great Weekend Getaway

Cottage is nestled in a wooded area that was very appealing to me and my husband. Cottage was quaint, beds were comfy and the kitchen was well appointed. A few issues were: Bathroom lighting was very poor and the shade didn't roll up for additional natural lighting so I used a rubber band. The refrigerator was so close to the wall with baseboard it could not be fully opened which was annoying. Our first night there was a mouse or chipmunk in the ceiling of our room that it was gnawing in the ceiling waking me up twice. A problem which will cause the owner trouble down the road. All and all I would rent it again once these issues were fixed. Thank you!
