This cabin is across the street from our cabin which made it so convenient to have our son’s family stay there. Larry and Lisa are wonderful hosts greeting us with a rundown on the nuances of this charming cabin. You won’t be disappointed staying there!!!
This cabin was exactly what my family and I were looking for. Restaurants, groceries, lakes and plenty of other attractions are very close but still located in a peaceful and relaxing area. Plus, our host Larry went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and stress-free. Truly a top-notch host! We plan to visit again!
The cabin is very clean and has several areas to gather, watch tv or do puzzles. We saw several kayaks go down the river and saw a variety of birds and other wildlife. We enjoyed the swing in the yard and the close proximity to Castle Farms in Charlevoix. It was only a short drive to other areas of interest as well.
Larry was very accommodating and answered all our questions. The house was clean & comfortable with an enjoyable view of the Jordan River. You could see fish swimming by while relaxing on the sofa. Would highly recommend this cottage on the river.
Awesome host and very available. It was perfect for us and we were able to easily explore the area and return to comfort and relax in the home and yard. We would return for future trips.
We had a wonderful stay. Loved being by the river and found it very relaxing. Property owner was super, responsive to our needs and very friendly. Loved the decor, very up to date. Cabin was very clean and comfortable and a short drive to Charlevoix. We look forward to going back.
The cabin is beautiful and very modern. It is clean and has all the neccesities. Larry and Lisa are wonderful hosts and shared places to eat and things to do when we arrived. Honestly, our whole family wishes we would have had a few more days to stay as we wereonly there for a 4 day weekend for a family wedding. The location is great for peace and quiet but still close to town. It is also a great central location for gping to St. Ignace and Mackinac. All in all, we'd love to return someday and stay at this VRBO again.
This property was just like it was posted and more. Very nice, quiet and clean. The owner was very pleasant and friendly. We had a wonderful time and would definitely rent again
We had a nice time here. The place was recently renovated and was very comfortable with baseboard heat. We fished the Jordan River in several spots including the marina in town and took various day trips west, north and east for the fall colors.
Thanks to our hosts for the local info and hospitality.
My wife and I enjoyed every aspect of our stay. The house was very clean and well stocked. The location was beautiful and a perfect location for a northern Michigan quiet weekend. Very close to Petoskey, Charlevoix, and Boyne. East Jordan was a small town but had most everything you could need less than 10 minutes away. Highly recommend.
This cabin was a perfect getaway for my husband and I to celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary. The cabin was stocked with all the necessities, plus many comforts of home. The bedding was so comfy and cozy. The household decorations were minimal and simply beautiful to look at. The view was very relaxing and serene. Deer came by one evening for a visit, and we saw a varieties of birds. Our host Larry was very welcoming and informative. Thank you for being a wonderful host and sharing your beautifully updated family cabin.
My family and I loved this place, all clean, confortable and quiet place. Larry was awesome and provided all information necessary from the house and what do to around. Close to amazing lakes and beautiful cities. Planing to go back with my family soon. Thank you for all support Larry.
Cozy and clean. Liked the view and peacefulness of the river. The well water had a strong sulfur odor and was unpleasant to take showers. The couch was very soft and uncomfortable to sit in and the traffic was very noisy. It was centrally located to some major cities and golf courses. We were there for two weeks but wouldn’t stay there again.
We had an absolutely lovely stay here in East Jordan. Larry was a wonderful host - greeting us upon arrival and sharing local recommendations. The cabin has been beautifully updated and accommodated our family of five perfectly. We loved being along the river for fishing, sitting riverside to relax, and opening the windows at night for the perfect sleeping weather. The location was also perfect for daytrips to Sleeping Bear, Traverse City, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Mackinac Island. And of course it’s right next to charming Charlevoix. We would definitely stay here again!
Thoroughly enjoyed out fall colors weekend at this cozy, clean and comfortable cabin in East Jordan. Upon out arrival, Larry (owner) gave us a brief walk through of the place which we appreciated. Kitchen had everything we needed for making breakfast every morning. Enjoyed bonfires each evening with the firewood that was provided. King size bed was very comfortable for sleeping. Loved everything about this place. Hope to return sometime.
What a delightful and beautiful place to stay. The owners are attentive and kind. The location was perfect for day trips and for just relaxing. There’s a swing by the river that was perfect for hours of conversation with coffee. And seats by the fire pit alongside the river for evenings spent enjoying time together. The cottage is quaint, well decorated and comfortable. This is a gem!!! Don’t miss your opportunity to stay here!!! We will be back!! What a fabulous vacation!!
This property was exactly as described. We loved it. It was newly decorated and renovated and very well equipped. The house itself sits on the Jordan River and we enjoyed fishing and kayaking there. Our hosts were very responsive with any questions we had, were close by and easy to contact. They even met us at the property to let us in. Hands down Five+ stars and would definitely stay again when in the area.

About the host
Hosted by Larry Huckle or Lisa Huckle
My wife and I have been married for over 30 years and we live on the same private drive as this cabin. Our home and this cabin are the only two houses on this private drive. If you need anything while visiting, we are literally minutes away. If towing a trailer or boat, you can easily turn around at the end of the drive at our primary residence. This cabin was recently totally remodeled inside and out. Brand new appliances, kitchen, carpeting, tiled floors, all new windows, doors, etc. My grandfather built this cabin in the 1940's and it has been in my family ever since!
Why they chose this property
You'll love either sitting in the living room watching wildlife swim by in the river, or watching other canoers and kayakers paddle past you. With its close proximity to all things you want in Northern Michigan, it is a vacation spot you'll be sure to enjoy. Whether fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, skiing, golfing, or boating. It's all literally minutes away!
What makes this property unique
Close enough to all the amenities, yet far enough away to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing environment. We own over 1,300 feet of river frontage, and it is yours to explore and enjoy. The Brown Trout are especially active during the "hex hatch", where mayflies are on the river for a month in late June through July. Steelhead in the winter, with Rainbow and Brooks further up in the headwaters and tributaries. The Jordan River is designated a Natural River by the DNR and is protected. No other homes can be built within 200 feet of the river! This home is grand-fathered in.
