Outstanding River Retreat

The location is excellent and the cabin is incredibly cute. We loved the deck on the river, the 'retro' vibe, and the LP collection! The cabin was perfect for the 2 of us; for a larger group, it's probably worth knowing that the 1 bathroom is off the master bedroom. We'd definitely stay here again!

Peace, quiet, and charm

We were cozy and comfortable in and charmed by this rental, and crazy about the river access, including the deck right on the river bank. The house is beautifully decorated with lots of great details to notice and a wealth of games and puzzles. Highly recommend!

Wonderful retro cottage in the river

When we were not out and about we spent our time playing games, listening to records, wading in the river and enjoying the charm of this wonderful cottage on the river. Enough room for our family of 4 with lots to do. We will be back!

Fishing retreat

Retro on the River was the perfect cottage for our father / son get away. We caught salmon in the river soon after arriving. The location was ideal and convenient .We absolutely enjoyed playing the vinyl records and relaxing on the deck out back. We will be back again !!

Perfection

We loved staying at this property. It was the perfect location to explore one of our favorite parts of Michigan. We loved playing in the river, playing games as a family, listening to records, and slept well each night. The marriage of retro and contemporary meant it was like visiting grandma’s house while enjoying modern comforts. We are definitely plan to come back.

Cute and Comfortable

We enjoyed the retro theme with many blasts from our pasts. The kitchen is well stocked. The living room has bookcases filled with all kinds of things to do for both adults and children. The neighborhood is quiet. The deck out back sits by the Platte River and is a great place to relax. The house is close to the beach and town.

Not as described

Unfortunately we did not have a great stay. Within couple hours of arriving we seen a mouse in back bedroom. We seen it again 2 more times so we went to get mouse traps. My kids wouldn’t sleep in the room where we seen the mouse which made our sleeping arrangement difficult. Other than then mouse the house seemed clean. When you read the description on VRBO it appears to be a private area with private deck overlooking river. NO where does it say this is shared property with the owners who live next door! We were very disappointed to be gone most of the day to come back to fish in river and owners were sitting on deck. Made it very uncomfortable for us. We wanted to leave after kids seen mouse and wanted to leave:( I figured we would not get any money back so we stayed. Most amount of money ever spent and would never do it again. The description needs to state the owners live next door and property is shared. If it would have said that we would not have booked it.

Retro on the River

We had a great time here. It was very clean and had everything we could possibly need or want. So much fun checking out all the games and books. The river was beautiful. There is a great deck next to the river but we were there when it was a bit chilly. The neighbor was also very welcoming. Loved this little get away.
