Fall Color Tour.

The Cabin was perfect for our stay! Anna was wonderful to work with and has done a great job with all the little homey touches. The kitchen has everything you need. Loved the screened in porch. We enjoyed fires by the river each night. Anna thought of everything. We'll be back.

river stay

We had a wonderful time . We sat outside and listened to the river and enjoyed watching the ducks. The closeness to the Cross in the woods was one of the reasons we stayed there. The short drive to the Bridge was another. We would highly recommend to anyone to stay there.

Amazing little get-away for a very good price

Stayed here for a college reunion with a few friends. Place was very clean, cozy, and had all the fundamentals we needed. Grill out front on a very nice deck and front yard with fire pit right along the river - hang out and watch all the rafters float by, or float along on your own. Owner was pleasure to work with - very communicative and she answered any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again in the future. A+

Nice area, quiet

Nice and comfy, generally pleased but no DVD player as advertised and unable to get a lot of channels because of no passwords to get in. There was also no place to put our trash as the container was completely stuffed and flies buzzing about outside.

Long weekend getaway

This quaint little cabin is so peaceful. I could have spent the entire weekend on the daybed porch swing! The cabin is small, but it’s organized and decorated so cute. Anna was very quick to respond to any questions I had as well. Great host who obviously cares about her property!

Adorable Cabin!

This cabin is adorable! It had everything we needed and was very clean. The location is great. It’s within walking distance to several places…grocery store, coffee shop, ice cream, tube rentals and we walked about 1 mile to see the Cross In the Woods. It is also within driving distance to many tourist towns. We floated the river in tubes which was very fun if you don’t mind very cold water!! It was a perfect little getaway!

Love staying at Riverbend Cabin

We have stayed at Riverbend cabin three years in a row now and have never been disappointed. The location is ideal. You can walk into town, to Big Bear for kayak or raft rentals, to a really good smoked fish store, to a coffee shop, to a couple of diners,to a great microbrewery with food trucks, games and live entertainment and it’s right across the road from Ken’s supermarket for last minute grocery needs. It’s also close to the rail trail for bike rides. The cabin is nicely decorated, has a ton of character and a great view of the Sturgeon River. We love cooking and eating dinner out in the deck and enjoying an evening campfire by the river. I also like to take dips in the river. There is ladder access available. It is invigorating!

About the host

Hosted by 2143640364

My goal is to make your stay one you will never forget and to build family memories that will last a life time. I want everyone to experience Northern Michigan and what it has to offer. Whether you enjoy water/snow skiing, snowmobiling, swimming, wakeboarding, paddleboards, jet skiing, canoeing, kayaking, tubing or just relaxing with a good book you will enjoy the River Bend cabin. As the owner and also a customer to the cabin i will pride myself to make this vacation one that you will put on the calendar next year.

Why they chose this property

It's not why this property but why not. This updated cabin will charm you vacation in many ways. Lets start with the beautiful location and and the access it has to all your outdoor needs and pleasures, plus the beautiful river that nestles steps from the front door. This decorated cabin will give you that out of town feel but also provide you with some at home basics like internet access and a wall mounted big screen TV to calm the little ones down while the outside grill is preparing the evening meal.

What makes this property unique

Great location, quaint updated inside decor with new furnishings. It also has a key-less entry so you don't have to worry about lost keys while canoeing.The newly added loft is a great escape for older kids, teenagers and the young at heart .City conveniences are just right around the corner for those things we seem to always forget to pack.

A short walk from the cabin you will find Big Bear Advantages to rent all your river rafting supplies (Tubes,Kayaks, rafts), McDonald's or Burger King, Kens grocery store, a smoke house BBQ/ Bar restaurant with karaoke, Wilson's Rivers Edge Restaurant, Subway and a great fish smokehouse. You have everything you need just steps from your cabin door, but when your at the cabin it has the perfect relaxing setting.
