Cozy cabin on the River.

Cozy little cabin on the River. The outside area is nice to enjoy the views of the River. Cabin was small, but that was to be expected. Unit was clean. I would rent again.

Great cabin with all the comforts

Stayed here with my spouse for a weekend getaway. The cabin was well-decorated and very clean. We were able to find anything we needed or wanted. We decided to eat in and found the kitchen had everything for preparing our steak dinner. The grocery store, Ken’s Village Market, is in walking distance (but you need to cross a busy, multiple lane street). More on Ken’s later! 🙂 We were very happy with all the attention to detail from the bedding to the outdoor grill. The bed was soft. The grill was nice and clean. All around very happy with our stay. Thank you! Ken's Village Market had the VERY BEST STEAK we ever prepared ourselves. It was FANTASTIC. We purchased filet mignon from their fresh meat section, grilled it, and enjoyed it on the back patio while watching rafters float by. Ken's market also sells firewood at a great price for the firepit.

Beautiful and comfortable!

We REALLY enjoyed our stay at the river cabin! The place is absolutely adorable! Even though this cabin has clearly been around a long time, it has been updated well and has all the comforts of a modern vacation home. The dishes are nice, the towels are soft, the bed are very comfortable and the sheets/blankets/pillows are dreamy. We stayed in the summer and the AC worked very well. Lots of little fans for each room since the unit is in the main room. The loft was adorable for the kids. They loved having their own space. It didn't get as warm up there as they thought! There is a precious sunroom and stunning riverside yard area with a great fire pit. We brought a floating foam pad that we could tie up in the river and the kids had a blast. The river moves much too fast to just climb in and swim but having a floating thing tied up was perfect. I could go on and on about having the comforts of home. It was also perfectly located right off the highway, super close to town, but was quiet as can be in the yard at all times! We were never bothered by road traffic. At night you couldn't even tell. We watched in awe as a great blue heron fished every morning and night. Perfect up north Michigan! Thank you for keeping this place comfortable and nice!

River Bend

I have been coming to this same place for 5 or 6 years. I don't want to stay anywhere else. It is perfect for me and the location is perfect as well. The remodeling that was completed makes it even more enjoyable. I would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Love this Little Cabin!

Ideal location on the Sturgeon River, close to Burt Lake, the North Central State Trail and all that the town of Indian River affords. We appreciated the updated kitchen and new wall opening direct to the dining area on this trip and plan on returning again next year.

Indian River Waterway

The cabin is gorgeous and completely stocked with coffee filters, paper towel, and basically everything you need except your clothes, food, and firewood. The location was near 2 boat launches which made getting into the river pretty easy. Great stay and great cabin! Cabin feel with a modern twist - I'd stay there again in a heartbeat!

This cabin is extremely cute and very comfortable. The layout is great and offers ample sleeping room for a family of 5-6. Many items are provided for your convenience.

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+

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.
