    This was an amazing place to stay. Lots of thoughtful touches you don’t get everywhere you go. All the drawers and cupboards are labeled to find things easily, an abundance of towels for both shower and hot tub use, a welcome basket with snacks, water, and fire starters. So many other amenities; tons of different appliances and cooking implements, including a fully stocked Keurig and standard coffee pot. All the cooking essentials stocked: oil, salt, pepper, tin foil, etc. This was the most thoughtfully appointed place I’ve stayed at. Also, it was really cold and snowy during our trip and the hosts made sure to check in on us and offered to plow the snow.

    Pine River Ranch provided us with the space, amenities and seclusion our family needed for Thanksgiving. It was absolutely perfect...from first communication to locking the door when we left. Brandon and Denae have done such a great job of decorating and stocking this home. The details were a 5-star luxury accommodation...even the towels were folded like we were at a spa. We can't thank them enough and we will be back!

    This was by far the best vacation rental we have ever experienced!! The house is so well equipped you can pretty much just show up and start vacationing! Beautifully furnished and so many extras thought of. Location is great for getting to the beach (highly recommend 1st St Beach in Manistee) and for enjoying some time in the woods. Owners were fantastic!! Hope to return someday!

    The house was the PERFECT place to relax, even during a tough Michigan winter! The house had all the small amenities you'd expect of a hotel, but with space for everyone, ability to cook for ourselves, and the hot tub was a great plus! Definitely recommend
