    Wonderful location and amenities! John was super helpful and even talked with me the day before we came up to make sure the gps didn’t take us to the wrong place! Cannot recommend staying here enough!

    Everything about this property was perfect. House was clean, looks fairly new but still it looks to be well taken care of. Location was great, coffee in the morning while watching the river out back, sitting in the hot tub, or relaxing around the fire. This is one place we will definitely stay again and would bring my kids next time to enjoy the property. The shower was amazing and the steamer/sauna in the shower was great. I think the only thing I would change is going to kings beds for a little bit more sleeping room. But they were comfortable so that was good.

    Had such an incredible stay at the River Falls Cottage! Perfect blend of seclusion and city access with a quick 15 min drive into downtown Traverse. House was very clean and updated, the hot tub and steam shower were amazing features to have after an adventure filled day on the river or visiting wineries. Communication with host was great, resourceful and prompt. We hope to be back again very soon!

    Cozy home with a beautiful view! We enjoyed the backyard the most. The firepit right by the river made for a very peaceful night with good star gazing on the clear nights. The hot tub was perfect for the chilly evenings after spending the day in Traverse City. Large windows provided great views from inside. Inside was compact, enough room for 2 adults and 1 kid. The steam shower was amazing!! We really enjoyed our stay. We would love to come back when it is warmer and enjoy the river!

    We had a wonderful stay at River Falld Cottage! The location is perfect—peaceful and scenic, yet convenient to everything we needed. The house was well-equipped with everything to make our weekend comfortable and relaxing. We especially enjoyed the hot tub, steam shower, and the beautiful views of the river right outside the windows. It was the perfect spot for a refreshing getaway, and we will definitely stay here again.

    We had the best time on our girls trip here! It was perfect place to come back to after a day of exploring and we spent a whole day just relaxing in the river. I highly recommend this place for a stay in this area.

    Smooth check in and check out, I have to agree with the guests who say the pictures don’t do it justice, we swam and tubed right from the house, the host was so responsive, from dining options to where to get off the river after tubing!! We had a blast and can’t wait to bring the rest of our family back up!!

    My family and I stayed at this property for the cherry festival in Traverse City. It’s in a perfect location just outside of town far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet close enough for a few minute drive in town. The pictures don’t do it justice it’s very modern and clean with amazing views off the river. The host John was very knowledgeable and accommodating with anything we needed. Would love to stay at this property again.

    Amazing place, great spot on the river. The house was very nice. Great location for fishing and kayaking. Short drive to downtown tc and close to stores. We stayed for work and stayed at places in tc, but this was way nicer because its a great spot on the river with great amenities. For about the same price. Much better than an apartment. The host was great. Would absolutely stay there again
