Lovely location, beautiful view, good spot for fishing, relaxing, good little set up for cooking out and enjoying a fire. The bad part is trying to get to the water the walk ways are bad use extreme caution. However, the cabin overall was nice as a short little getaway but the water backs up quickly in the sink, the toilet doesn’t flush properly, the hot water is extremely limited, soft spots in floor makes you have to use caution when walking.
Location was very quiet and peaceful. On a dead-end street. So virtually no passing car traffic. Cabin was stocked more than anticipated.
Cabin was very unkempt. Owners would not message back. Was not advised that the cabin was right next to their kayak rentals, so people were coming and going the whole time. We left a day early due to how disappointed and dissatisfied we were. Will never come back and definitely won't recommend it to anyone. For the amount we paid to stay there they could afford to keep the cabin looking nicer.
Great view and scenery just feet from the river. Described as a camping cabin, the pictures show a toilet and shower. What the pictures don't show is that the toilet and kichen refrigerator and stove are separted only by a shower curtain. There are no walls, no doors and no handwashig sink. We were expecting a minimalistic camping cabin. We did not expect to share a kitchen and bathroom with no physical partition.
Julie is a great host! Very responsive and helpful. She even went above and beyond to locate a light jacket that was accidentally left behind and mailed it to us! Cabin is basic and rustic, as accurately described in the listing. Perched directly on the riverbank with nice water views and a cozy fire pit complete with split wood to burn. We spent most of our time (other than sleeping) outdoors, eating our meals at the picnic table or in the Adirondack chairs overlooking the river. Also rented kayaks from Julie’s business next door. They drove us upstream to launch the kayaks and we paddled/floated 9 miles downriver back to the cabin. A peaceful and serene trip…no sign of people, boats or structures for hours, just the wild and scenic river. Also enjoyed walking across the New Richmond swing bridge and exploring the riverside boardwalk. All in all, it was a relaxing and memorable visit.
This little cabin was perfect for my wife and I to get a chance to reconnect. We enjoyed the peace and quiet at the cabin and the short drive into Holland for an amazing dinner.
This cabin is exactly as listed - and is perfect for a weekend away. Quiet and such a beautiful view on the river. Julie was quick to respond to any questions. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to camp and explore the SW Michigan area!
Absolutely awesome! Super private, and quiet! Perfect river in front of the cottage for paddle boarding, kayaking, or canoeing! Our host, Julie was amazing and super professional! Can’t wait to stay there again! Highly recommend!!
The cabin was wonderful and the view was beautiful. Julie was absolutely fantastic and help us out with anything we needed. Thank you very much
It was a small cabin with minimal amenities that was sufficient as a home base. Previous reviews mentioned an abundance of noise, we did not encounter any noise issues and it was very peaceful.
Julie was very accommodating, and got back to me right away.
This is a nice property to stay at. It is an aging property but still worth the stay. If you’re looking for the Ritz Carleton this is not for you. Great get away with the spouse. 4 people would be tight.
The cottage was quaint, several spots in the floors very weak. No toaster as listed. Poison ivy ALL over, embankment is covered and it's all around the house. Kayak and glamping rental did not interfere with stay but owner has an outbuilding for storage and was there often. Enjoyed the wildlife, birds, squirrels and bats.
Might not appeal to the fancy kind, but WE loved it! Perfect place to ‘step away’. Can’t wait to stay again!
great stay
We came for a quiet and relaxing mid week trip. Definitely quiet and the walking parks nearby are nice. Directly in front of the shack is a garage that was used everyday by the owners who have a camping and canoe place on the same property. No AC but space heaters if it gets cold and there were only a couple paper plates so bring your necessities for eating. Overall it worked and we loved that they welcomed our dog, just a bit pricey for the actual condition of the inside of the shack.
Small 1 room cabin. Great area near Holland and Saugatuck
The location is spectacular! Located on the river, you can grab the morning sunrise. In the evening enjoy a quiet fire while listening to the fish jump and the birds sing. The cabin is warm and tidy. The shower is not spectacular, as it is not more than a 10 gallon tank. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Next time, we will probably plan on canoing, as there's a livery on the property as well.
