Fabulous property and location!

Our return trip to your property this year was just as enjoyable as the prior years we've been there! Kayaking on the river, relaxing on the deck or sitting around the bonfire were all so perfect. The kitchen was once again well stocked making the entire stay great. You can bet we'll return again next summer!

Serene location

I stayed at the property for a long weekend with friends. The place is an idyllic cabin in the woods with a modest drive to Traverse City and various breweries in the area. The property is well maintained and the hosts are incredibly responsive. I will definitely keep this place on my list of favorites for future getaways.

Perfect Cabin

We love everything about this cabin! This was our second time here and it won’t be our last. The amazing view of the river from inside the cabin is unbeatable, regardless of the season! It’s also a quiet and secluded location. We stay here when we ski at Crystal Mountain but also love that it’s only a 25 minute drive to Traverse City.

Lovely home by the river

We had a great stay at this property. It was as described in the listing. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Excellent location for accessing Crystal Mountain. Would also be a great location for accessing Sleeping Bear, but we didn't make time to do that. Reading lights in all the spots you might want one. The kids loved the spacious loft area. We would definitely stay here again!

Peaceful retreat on the Platte River

We had a wonderful time at this cabin! The location is beautiful - the river is right off the deck and it's very private. We didn't see anyone except for the occasional kayaker paddling by. The cabin itself is lovely - very comfortable, clean, had everything we needed for our stay, and the hosts were very responsive when we had a small question about firewood. We would definitely consider returning the next time we are heading up to the Interlochen area!

Relaxing River Stay

My wife and I are debating on whether this property has been our favorite rental so far in the area. We loved the remote feel of this stay by the river. I launched personal kayaks from the site numerous time. We had a campfire on a couple occasions. We were close enough to all the local adventure spots. Everything was where we needed it to be and communication was easy with the owners. Would definitely stay here again.

So peaceful and relaxing!

If you want a relaxing and peaceful vacation, this is the place! Cabin had everything you would need for a great stay. Close to shopping in Frankfort and Travers city, with wonderful food options. I have been coming to the area since I was a child, and this place is the most peaceful I have ever been to!. Our grandchildren would love the river to play and explore in. Hope to bring them here soon. Thanks Bill and Holly

If you enjoy nature and privacy, this cabin is perfect. It is true to its description. The cabin backs up right to the Platte river and a large deck to go along with it. Plenty of chairs, outdoor table...The kitchen is well stocked if you want to cook and the location is close enough to restaurants if you prefer eating out. Sleeping Bear Dunes, Leland, Suttons Bay, Traverse city, Glen Arbor....all within easy driving distance. I would highly recommend it. Enjoy!!

Fall fishing trip

Great place to stay for our Fall fishing trip. Although we didn’t fish the river behind the cabin, we could have because there were plenty swimming by on their way upstream. We fished several other rivers in the area and used the cabin as our home base. It was a wonderful trip and we’ll be booking again !
