    This was everything the listing said it was! We weren’t sure if we wanted to stay in Traverse City or a bit outside, and we are so glad we chose this route. It’s easy access to Traverse City but tucked away with lots of fun things to do right at the house. We loved being right on the river to fish and the house was stacked with all the kids toys, games and books. The kids kept busy while we relaxed on the beautiful back deck and enjoyed the peace and quiet! The hot tub was clean and the perfect size for our family. We’ve already recommended this place to several friends and would definitely be back if we come back to this area!

    We couldn't have been happier with our stay at the River House. Everything was exactly as pictured and described. The setting right on the river is magical. It is private and secluded but still close enough to downtown to easily go in for shopping, dinner, etc. Grocery store, gas and amenities are 5 minutes away. This southern family loved our time in Traverse City and would highly recommend the river house for a great getaway. We hope to go back.

    Our stay at the property was absolutely perfect. The house was clean and spacious enough for 6 adults and our 3 year old granddaughter. Beautiful well stocked kitchen and open living space. The beds are so comfortable. I didn't use the outside shower, but my husband, adult son and father in law did and raved about it. The deck is amazing. We spent lots of time out in the yard and sitting by the river. So peaceful. There is a little town close by with a family fare, walgreens and a jets pizza. The property is also close to Traverse City and all the other fun things to do in the area. Thank you to our hosts! We loved our stay.

    We spent a few days here while our kids played in the Cherry Cup. House is exactly as pictured. The property is awesome - secluded and quiet. We fished, swam in the river, and took advantage of the hot tub on cool nights. Bring bug spray - during the warmer days the mosquitoes were out. Definitely recommend this place!

    Wonderful, private, rural, fully stocked riverside home, yet close to many outdoor activities and still just 15 minutes from Traverse City restaurants and shopping. Great, high-speed internet.

    We had a lovely time at the river house. The home was clean and well appointed. The beds were extremely comfortable! We enjoyed sitting outside in the rocking chairs and going in the hot tub. And it's just a short drive to downtown Traverse City.

    The property and the house are beautiful. You can sit on the back deck and listen to the tranquil sounds of nature, the birds, and the river, very relaxing. Beautiful outdoor deck area with plenty of seating. Interior is just as lovely and has everything you will need. Definitely recommend this house.

    The River House is beautiful. Peaceful setting on the river away from town. Plenty of room to be outside. Minor issues were handled by Alex immediately. Alex was just a text away. I loved their story.

    From the second we walked it we were amazed! It was very clean, beautiful, peaceful & secluded yet only 15 minutes from most everything. The home felt like we were truely staying at someone’s personal home vs a rental. High end finishings had absolutely anything you needed including kayaks to use & take off right from the house. Very roomy and comfortable. I communicated with the owner a few times and she was quick to respond and very helpful. We had no issues at all. You can see that they’re reinvesting and updating. We travel quite a bit and by far this has been the best property that we’ve stayed at. It was nice to wake up and have a cup of coffee looking at the river and watching deer and rabbits play. I would highly recommend this home to anyone that wants to stay in the traverse city area.

    The VRBO listing is completely accurate - a beautiful, clean home in a peaceful setting on a river. We loved staying here and please, please give the outdoor shower a try. We all loved it, even our most skeptical group member. We never used the interior showers! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Alex for sharing your lovely home!

    The house is beautifully situated and lends itself to spending quality time with family and friends. It’s well appointed and inviting. Communicating w Alex was a breeze and we couldn’t have been happier with the accommodation. Highly recommended if you are going to be in the Traverse City area.
