Beautiful location
We had a wonderful weekend stay with our dog. Multiple canoes and kayaks were available. The river is so peaceful and easy to navigate. Very private, lots of birds, the stars were incredible at night. The porch was my favorite place. We ate all of our meals there. If you are like me and enjoy almost all aspects of camping except sleeping in a tent, this is the perfect rental for you. It was clean and thoughtfully equipped and communications were very good! Thank you so much for sharing and thank you for letting us bring our dog too. She thought she was in heaven!

Quiet getaway
We loved the cabin and enjoyed our stay. The wood burning stove kept the cabin warm despite it being the middle of February. The property is beautiful with the river steps away. We're already planning on going back later this year and taking advantage of the canoes.

This property is a wonderful break from the crowded noise of campgrounds and cabins close together. With a river running through it. This is the perfect place to relax off the grid. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay!

What an awesome time!
I took my 20 yr old son and 2 dogs with me for 3 days "off-grid". Only disappointment was I had cell service but the cabin and property were amazing, from the riverside cabin the the wood fired sauna, it was a great weekend. Be sure to get up at sunrise to listen to the 1,000's of birds, the gobble of the Turkeys and the calling of the Coyotes. Already planning my next trip.

We had a great time at this cozy rustic cabin. The fire was lit when we arrived with plenty of wood to burn. It had everything that we needed. The kids loved going into the sauna. At night we had never seen so many stars in the sky.

Super secluded. Rustic cabin but with some great amenities. The river is right off the back patio and has crystal clear waters. Property owner was very helpful with all the information we needed. Lots of people asking about where this place was based on the pictures we were taking.

Unplug and unwind
If you are looking for a remote getaway look no further. We visited with our two teenage girls and 2 dogs. Everyone had a great relaxing time and the location is beautiful. The only company is an occasional kayak down the beautiful river. Jeremy was so nice and helpful and even contacted us a couple times during the stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back.

Great place to get away from it all
If you are looking for a great place to get away and enjoy the outdoors, this is the place! Jeremy was an excellent host. Property was exactly as described. The pitcher well takes a few pumps to prime, but then you get great tasting water....no worries about sulfer. Honestly one of my favorite trips I have taken and my girlfriend and I plan to head back next year!

Halfway between roughing it and a life of comfort
We had a great time at this cabin! It is the perfect mix of secluded from the world, and yet 15 minutes from stores, restaurants, and Higgins Lake beaches. The cabin was pretty toasty in the summer and the screened windows would have been perfect if Mother Nature had given us some wind. The outhouse was very comfortable for what it was. It was rather dark at night in the cabin with only the battery lights, so we had to run the generator to take advantage of the electric lamps. Make sure to bring a bag of ice since there is no fridge, just a very large cooler. Minor complaints aside, we loved our visit and had a blast using the provided canoes on the river right outside our door.

Seclusion at it's best.
The cabin was as remote as stated and it felt amazing. Over the three days of our trip, we have one visitor float by on a canoe. Hiking on this property was incredible and so much wildlife. This area has an optimal rating for dark sky and stargazing did not disappoint. We also enjoyed watching the sunrise and all the activity of the songbirds. The canoes provided at the cabin made exploring the Cut River so much fun. The cabin was clean and Jason was on hand to greet us and answer any questions. The views from the cabin are stunning and we are grateful they opened it up for visitors! You don't even realize you are missing "on-grid" amenities because you are in a stunning location. And if you do need something, town is just a few dirt roads away. I gave a poor rating on check-in, Unfortunately, Jeremy did not provide us any check-in instructions (he was off the grid up in the UP and forgot to send them our way) and we missed our first day at this cabin. At this point, we are still waiting on our refund for our missed day. Leading up to our stay, communication with Jeremy was great and very responsive. Verizon customers, you will have excellent cellular reception.

Guys' Winter Retreat
We used this cabin for a family winter guys' retreat and it was the perfect setting. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The check-in process was seamless. And the cabin was everything and more than what is given in the description. We were lucky enough to have a fresh layer of snow when we showed up and the setting looked like true winter wonderland. Some guys from our group took advantage of nearby Higgins Lake to do some ice fishing and others started out the weekend by going on a winter hike walking the woods and the ice on Cut River. Next we fired up the sauna and cut a hole in the ice for after the sauna. The polar plunge was the highlight of the weekend for us. The cabin itself was perfect for relaxing, eating, and having a good time. It was rustic but comfortable, exactly what we were looking for. The following day, we enjoyed some of the same activities as on day 1. Everybody loved how remote and quite it was in this location. We could not help but start planning our next trip to the cabin and the only disagreement was whether it will be next winter or sooner. We will definitely be back.
