Usually spend a week camping in the area chasing after elk in the Pigeon River State Forest. Due to other obligations this year, my father and I were only able to get away for 2 nights. This cabin was perfect for our needs. It was clean, cozy, and had everything that we needed. The owners even added some surprises with complimentary snacks and toiletries.

It was awesome!

We had a great time! The cabin was clean and arranged and prepared in a way that was very welcoming! We are so grateful we found and were able to stay at the “Rustic Cabin on River just off the beaten path.” A major bonus was being able to bring our two dogs! We are already looking forward to booking again in the not too distant future.

Blissful Snowy Retreat

We loved this cozy cabin! Set away from the city on a nice size piece of land, we enjoyed playing in the snow with our elementary age kids, Dalmatian and G. Dane. The location was also excellent for traveling around northern MI, and the U.P. and exploring. We were big fans of the mud room as our home doesn’t have one. Looking forward to booking this cabin again!

Quiet and relaxing

The cabin was great and we were accommodated on short notice. Communication was fast and efficient. The big plus, they allowed dogs and did not charge extra for our furnabies who thoroughly enjoyed the large yard to play in. The host had snacks and personal hygiene products arranged for guests and the cabin was stocked with pretty much anything needed! Definitely recommend this cabin and area!
