The property owners live next door in a private residence and are available as needed. Sleeping Bear Riverside Cabins offers five charming Northern Michigan cabins and an apartment nestled along the picturesque Platte River. Our cabins provide easy access to stunning natural scenery and water activities. Sleeping Bear Riverside Cabins is right on US-31 as it goes through the small northern Michigan town of Honor. Honor has a grocery store, a post office, a gas station, and a few restaurants, bars, stores, banks, and churches. Honor is also home to the famous Cherry Bowl Drive-In Theater, which provides fun family entertainment on the weekends during the summer! Cabin #1 features a TV in the bedroom, while the other cabins have a TV in the living room. Cabin #3 boasts a cozy electric fireplace. While there’s no air conditioning, portable fans are available during the summer. Cabin Details: Cabin #1: The largest, all-in-one unit Cabins #2 & #3: Private units in a duplex setting.

We are dog-friendly and allow up to two dogs per reservation (no other pets permitted). If you plan to bring your furry friends, please ensure they are included in your reservation to apply the pet fee correctly. The river offers a variety of recreational opportunities! While the current can be strong, the shallow water is perfect for wading and refreshing dips. You can also fish, kayak, or canoe directly from the property. Parents should supervise children closely, as the current can be swift.

Awesome up north stay

We had the most amazing time! The cabin was perfect, the bed had a wonderful view of the forest. The dock was lovely to sit at. Everyone was very kind, and social. There is a bar, ice cream and grocery very close! Highly recommend the farmers market on Tuesdays! Unfortunately no fish in the stream

Quaint and nice setting

We had a great stay in the cabins...only one small issue, parking should be designated close to the cabin, when we arrived another car was right next to our cabin and it was hard to unload. Otherwise, a true cabin....bed and shower were nice, kitchen was adequate, surroundings were beautiful!

We had a wonderful time and it's a great hub spot. There is so many places that were close.We wish there was better access to the river. It was nice that there was 2 porches on the river. One was very wobbly.

A simple & appealing place to stay in Honor, Michigan

I stayed here as a solo traveler for 5 nights so as to spend 4 days exploring the southern section of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. I was very pleased. My cabin was immaculately clean. The furnishings were a bit dated but comfortable. The bed was cozy and the shower water hot. The Wi-Fi connection was superb. If you want something fancy, you'll be disappointed. But if you're looking for a simple, well cared for place to stay in Honor, Michigan, this is an excellent choice.

Beautiful Scenery

Perfect spot to get away from it all. Salmon was caught out front in the river on the first day!! Within an hour's drive to all the great sites that the n/w of Michigan has to offer. Would be happy to return again.
