Cabins on the Platte River

We had a family event and stayed at these cabins. It was a good location and we had plenty of room for the family. The river is behind the cabins, but wish it had been a little closer. Lots of things to do like beautiful beaches, and good food. It was worth the stay.

Family reunion

5 grown siblings and our families spent 4 days here. Plenty of room for everyone, a perfect balance of private and group spaces. We enjoyed campfires, playing in the river, and activities in the area. Great especially for teens who had room to roam and hang out together. Beautiful property with woods, river, and cleared space for games. Cabins are comfortable and perfect for the length of our stay.

Kalb Family Reunion 2023

It was wonderful to be so close to each other and yet have individual quarters for each separate family. Our only issue was the noise level from US 31.

Perfect Family Getaway

Instead of our annual camping trip we (22 of our family members) decided to head to Michigan and stay at Platte River Pines. We had an amazing time and it was so much better than we expected!! It was so great that every family had their own space and there was so much land! There was so much to do on the property and it was also very peaceful! We played volleyball, baseball, and the older teens really loved taking the canoes down the river! Damon was such a great host and really provided great suggestions for us! We will definitely be back again!

Great Cozy Cabins

These cabins were great, especially for those of us who are still concerned about COVID-19, since they enabled us to bring together a bunch of friends and family in a socially distanced way! The area is beautiful. There is a grocery store and a diner literally a 5 minute walk / 1 minute drive away. Based on the owner's recommendation, we also got to see an amazing sunset at a great local beach!

Family fun in Honor.

This location is a kayaker's dream. Most of our party fall into that category. So our family reunion was a big success. In addition, we loved how clean and well kept the whole place was.

Can’t wait to return!

The cabins are clean and comfortable. The beautiful river in the back is a great place to relax. The very large fire pit in the front accommodated our large group and the very short drive to Lake Michigan was spectacular. I would definitely recommend this very nice place.

Honor Cabins - 10/10

I rented these cabins for my bachelorette party with 12 other friends. From start to finish this stay was nothing short of perfect. Damon was readily available for any questions or concerns via phone / text. The cabins are beautiful, clean, spacious, and accommodating. Everyone was able to have their own bed and space to feel comfortable in. The riverside firepit was beautiful and amazing to do some stargazing at night. If campers wanted to get an early start to the bed, they were able to do so without the late night crew keeping them awake because the grounds to the VRBO was so spacious. Our group went tubbing at a nearby local tubbing company that was within walking distance and provided shuttling. Quick drive to Lake Michigan with views of Sleeping Bear Dunes. Everything about this place was just wonderful and obviously well loved and taken care by the owner. I have nothing negative to review other than I wish it would have lasted longer! Will be back FOR SURE for years to come. -Bailey

Great experience!

We had a great stay. The cabins were super clean and comfortable making it a great locale for a family reunion. The owners were very accommodating and friendly. The venue was great for fireside chats, wading in the river, lawn games, etc. and convenient to dining and outdoor activities. We all would highly recommend!

Amazing stay

Damon was amazing to work with; always super quick to respond. The cabins were perfect for our trip. Super close to platte river. Only downside if there is one; it’s very close to the road so not a lot of privacy that way.

Great time

We had a group of 26 plus 5 dogs and everything went extremely well. Damon was a phone call for anything we needed. It’s a great area that has shops for anything you may need and close to the attractions you would want. The towns and places to visit were not overcrowded with tourists but still felt like a vacation destination.

Great place for a large group and outstanding host

The cabins were clean and accomodated our family for a mini family reunion. The host went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The river was a bit farther back than expected and the cabins close to hwy 31, but other than that, the accommodations were perfect. I would love to go back every year.
