This cabin is lovely for a relaxing, comfortable stay to enjoy the burbling river. Its location east of Honor allows easy access to Crystal Mountain, Frankfort, Crystal Lake, the Leelanau Peninsula, Interlochen and Traverse City.
The cabin is alongside the Platte River, where you can say hi to kayakers and canoers as they head downriver. There are no immediate neighbors, which makes for a peaceful, enjoyable visit.
The layout is a main floor with two bedrooms (queen bed in each), bathroom, under-stairs closet for storage, kitchen with small breakfast nook and island separating it from living area. Upstairs is a loft with two double beds. Only the one bathroom. It is perfect for a couple or a small family, or even two couples if they are ok with sharing the bathroom. The inside is not large, but is cozy and comfortable, and the decor is delightful, with lots of small objects to provide a warm cabin-appropriate feel.
The deck that wraps around two sides of the cabin is the real star. Because of all the trees on the property and the cabin orientation, you can get either full sun or shade on different parts of the deck, as you wish. The deck is large, holding a dining table with four chairs, two chaise lounges, a small folding camping table with two chairs, and a grill, with plenty of room left over. It's the perfect spot to enjoy the river and beautiful weather. We spent a great deal of time out on this deck and loved it.
Hosts Holly and Bill are wonderful and responsive.
