Nice Property on Green Bay in Cedar River, MI
This is a renovated log cabin right on Green Bay. It’s been well-cared-for, and owners have thought of several ways to make guests feel welcomed and comfortable. Instructions and description were brief, concise, and appreciated. We would definitely rent again if plans take us to that area again. Thank you for such a pleasant stay.

My wife and I and hounds loved our stay. Cabin was very clean and exactly as described. Super comfortable bed and well stocked kitchen. Both bathrooms were newly renovated…wish I could take home with me!!! Setting is very private and nothing compares to that fire pit on the lake. Highly recommend R&J from NC mountains

Beachfront Log Cabin
The communication before arrival and the provided directions were excellent. The bathrooms, rooms, and kitchen were spotless, except for the kitchen cabinet doors. On our first morning, a woman from the neighboring property approached me, asking if we planned to stay all day because she intended to mow. I informed her of our plans to stay and inquired how long it would take—45 minutes. She neither confirmed whether she would proceed nor asked if it was an issue. She did not introduce herself, leaving me unsure of her identity. Later, while I was reading at the beach, the tractor mower began operating in the rental property’s beach and garden area, creating noise that drove me indoors. The person on the mower did not address me or ask for permission to proceed. Aside from this, our stay was pleasant, and the cabin met all advertised expectations. The greeting iPad on the kitchen counter indicated a checkout time of 11 am. I suggest updating this to reflect the local time accurately, considering the CST/EST time difference, to avoid confusion.

Directions to cabin a bit convoluted. Was not that difficult to find. Was lovely. Mosquitoes were probably at their worst so was difficult to enjoy the outside. A screen porch or gazebo would have been great. Well stocked & thoughtfully set up for guests.

Overall, the cottage was very nice and clean and the location is hard to beat. The lake being right there and being able to wade out to waist area 100 yards into the water was great.

Peaceful family time
We had a great stay at the cabin. The kids can't wait to go back. The cabin was clean and comfortable. Fire ring was perfect. The beach was nice but could have been dragged a few times, the bird droppings were plentiful. That didn't stop the kids though, they were in the water everyday. The only draw back had nothing to do with the property. The neighbors burnt a ton of trash one night. Thankfully the breeze was in our favor or it would have been a miserable night. It was a great trip, the kids can't wait to come back. Beautiful, Thank you!

Cedar Cabin By The Bay was the perfect getaway!
This cabin is just steps from the water, and has the best set up for a relaxing break for cooking in the fully equiped kitchen, sleeping in the comfortable beds, enjoying a fore in the pit by the lake, and relaxing in the shade of the trees. This cabin has updated bathrooms (with a rain shower) and an open kitchen/dining/living room set up with gorgeous windows that face the lake. I would height recommend this cabin to anyone, and we hope to return again soon!

Excellent property in a beautiful location with all the amenities. The beach is great for kids and a dog. The only drawback was that tree cutting happened in the neighboring property which created a lot of noise. But that has nothing to do with the property itself. Would visit again.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!
This place is truly great. The cabin is SO cute and well maintained and my husband said multiple times "I wish we owned this!" Having the beach right in your front yard is so great, and we spent lots of time on the chairs down there just soaking it all in. It's so nice that the water is shallow for like 50 feet out, because you can walk around in the water and it only comes to mid calf region. This was perfect for our dog (a short legged corgi) who had the time of his life. I truly think this place was his definition of heaven. While it is remote, we found a restaurant just two miles down the road (The Halfway) and went there both nights for dinner. We chatted with the owner, who is LOVELY, and she takes such pride in the place. The food was outstanding as well. For breakfast, just next door to the highway there is a gas station with a restaurant inside that serves AMAZING food as well. We were so happy to discover these places because after full days of exploring, we wanted something close to eat. But back to the property - run, dont walk to book this place. The cabin is huge, the bathrooms are super nice, and the best are VERY comfy. 10/10 for this place. We will hopefully be back soon!

Great Beach For Kids
Our stay was 4 adults (my wife, my in-laws, and me) as well as our 3 1/2 year old son and 3 1/2 month son. The property was very clean and all beds were very comfortable. Both bathrooms were also clean. As the owner noted, there is no AC, but we found that using the fans and opening the windows in the evenings kept the place just fine. There was a nice breeze off the lake and the temperatures, while low 90s in the day, were low 60s or high 50s at night, which was perfect. The garage came stocked with several floats and some sand toys that out son enjoyed on the beach. The drive from Green Bay was about 90 minutes and the drive to Munising, MI (Pictured Rocks) is about 90 minutes as well. I HIGHLY recommend going up to the Pictured Rocks. It was an awesome day trip. Also, as the owners indicated, flies on the beach were pretty bad. They were a only problem the 1st day and half, so we purchased a mosquito net and draped it over some chairs. Our son sat under it with me to play in the sand and it worked great. The last 3 days, however, there were no flies at all and the weather was perfect. It pretty much is to be expected that you will have some creatures out in the woods, so be prepared, but it is doable. Also, the beach is wonderful. The bay is only a few feet deep for at least 50 - 100 yards out into the lake. Our dog and toddler were able to play in the water a ton very safely and easily. He said, multiple times, "I love this beach!" All in all, the cabin was a great stay. You are secluded enough to really feel like you are in the North Woods, but also within 30 minutes of stores, food, etc. We have recommended the cabin to family and would certainly visit it again!

Great family getaway with small kids
We stayed with three boys (2, 5 and 8) and our dog in mid summer. The house was roomy and comfortable. The beach was fantastic and the shallow water was kind of perfect for the whole family. We just settled into the rhythm of being on the beach - swimming, playing in the sand, making a campfire and grilling.

My husband and I were looking for a getaway from the city, a place on the water that was cozy and beautiful. This place was all of those things and exceeded our expectations. Recommended for folks that love to stay in and cook your own food, hike, have bonfires on the beach (closest cluster of restaurants is 30+ min away). Definitely will be back! Loved all the books, games, puzzles and gear included!
