Muskegon River Cabin

Welcome to our cabin on the Muskegon River. Our 1400 square foot cabin is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom cabin that has recently been updated. Enjoy the feel of a traditional Michigan cabin on the river with modern comforts. There is plenty of room to stretch out and relax in the den overlooking the river or upstairs in the entertainment room. The entertainment room has a foosball table, dart board and futon sleeper (full size) if you need additional sleeping space.

We do have high-speed internet (wifi) if you want or need to be reached; otherwise, enjoy the solitude of the woods and river. While the inside of the cabin is comfortable and enjoyable, we can't compete with the beautiful scenery and wildlife outside. Enjoy fishing from the 200' of river frontage that is a few steps off of the porch.

If you want to canoe/kayak/tube, this is an easy great location. You can chose short or medium length trips from upstream at either the Hersey bridge or from Evart, or you can float downstream to Paris or Big Rapids.
There are electric baseboard heaters and a window unit air conditioner in the downstairs bedroom if it is needed. We are in the woods, so we have nice fresh cold well water.
Whether you are traveling to see family, looking for a base for hunting season, enjoying opening weekend of trout season, or simply want a quiet weekend away, we hope you find our cabin as comfortable and relaxing as we do.
You will find the following amenities:
Full functioning kitchen (full size refrigerator and stove, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, plates, silverware, pots, pans, skillets, etc.)
Full size bathtub and shower
Hot and cold water
TV, DVD
Foosball Table, Dart Board and some indoor games
Heat
Dining table (view of river)
Couch and 2 recliners (with view of river)
2 full size beds and 1 full size futon mattress
fresh linens (towels, washcloths, sheets, comforters, dishtowels) - please bring your own towels for use on the river
Gas Grill
Fire pit with firewood
If you bring clothes, food and drinks, and you will survive and be happy!
If you don't want to cook, it is a short drive to Hersey, Evart, Reed City and Big Rapids.
We love animals, but unfortunately have allergies in the family, so pets aren't allowed.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Relaxing Gem
When you turn off the gravel road onto your eighth mile gravel path driveway, you start to realize that you are really heading for peace and relaxation. There is one other cabin within sight, and other than that, all you'll see is Forest and river. We spent many hours fishing the bank and wading, but due to a very strong current, possibly due to strong rains, a few small mouth bad was all we could manage. But we had a blast trying. The cabin is basic and rustic, although the Wi-Fi worked great and the two large-ish TVs, one up, one down, were great. Comfortable beds (queen? full? Didn't have a tape measure to measure the 6" difference). Futon upstairs as well. Very comfortable for this 60 year old and two adult sons guy trip. All amenities and kitchen devices very well provided. Evening seemed very clean, although you can tell you're in the middle of a forest next to a river in an older home, humidity is obvious. Air conditioning up and down want needed much on our trip but seems adequate should a hot snap hit we enjoyed the many provided fans however. Deck out back (front?) has a beautiful view of the forest and nearby river. From a distance river looks muddy, but it's stained and actually quite clear. However be aware that, if you wade in the river there are submerged slippery rocks, both my boys till one tumble each before they got the hang of it. If the weather was hotter, it would have been a delight to arrange a tube trip down the river! Loved it

Peaceful & quiet stay!
We enjoyed our stay. It was quite & peaceful. We were able to sit on the porch & watch the river flow by. We kayaked down to the property & it was a little tricky to get out there, so that could be improved. But it was a beautiful river trip! The bathroom is pretty dated but it was clean so we were ok with it. The Keurig did not work right so we contacted the homeowner and they delivered a new Keurig that day (thank you). We didn’t care for the fact we had to haul the bag of trash hanging out our window down the lane to the road. But, overall satisfied with our stay.

Relaxing girls weekend
My friend and I took a long weekend and stayed here. The hosts were great and quick to respond. The kitchen was well stocked, the games were a lot of fun and the river view was incredible. There was lots of wood stocked to have a fire. Rafts and rope for floating the river were provided (just a bit too chilly for that when we stayed). We went fishing everyday, it was very quiet and peaceful. Loved it!

Perfect river front stay
The location was excellent for a family trip. The house was nicely clean and fresh upon checking in. A lot to do! We enjoyed Fishing, tubing, kayaking, grilling, and the camp fire. The host was very informative and provided clear instructions. We will be returning and staying here at least twice a year! The only thing I wish I had access to is a washer and dryer. After the outdoor activities it would be nice to do some laundry. But overall a great experience and I give it five stars.

This house feels like a beloved family getaway. It's not luxurious, but the evidence is that it's been loved by many. The Muskegon river in front is beautiful and relaxing. The beds are just full sized, so take that into consideration when renting.

Peaceful Getaway
This lovely cabin had all the comforts of home on a beautiful piece of river. Inside was super clean and well stocked with very comfortable furniture, wifi and a great tv. Right out the door was the river where we sat with our feet and the water while we watched all kind of birds come and go - even a bald eagle! Plenty of firewood, nice grill to use, everything we needed for a relaxing stay.

Nice spot for a getaway on the river
I enjoyed my stay there with my 2 teenage sons, one of their friends and my husband. We did not catch and fish while were there but we used a float company to float down river, went to explore all the little towns, had ice cream right down the road. We had bonfires there and the kids enjoyed the games. Went to various streams in the area to explore/fish Only thing that was an issue was the bathroom. It is pretty small and hard to get in and out shower because the tub is lifted, so for a short person, or person with mobility issues, the bathroom wound not be ideal. Hosts very responsive. Neighbors friendly.

Cleanest rental we have ever stayed at!
The cabin was immaculate! Well kept and well stocked. The river was so peaceful and we enjoyed the fire pit. Saw lots of deer and birds. We rented kayaks one day and tubes the other day with J&J rentals in Evart. We really enjoyed that. Bob was quick in his replies and very helpful. Would stay there again for sure!!

Has everything!
The amount of times my friends and I said, "oh they have that" can not be counted on two hands. From bag clips to sunscreen, tubes for the river, and ice packs for a cooler, we never had to make runs to town for anything we might have over looked. We also had amazing summer weather which means 90 plus degrees. The air conditioning both up and downstairs allowed us to keep the cabin comfortable after spending the day outside. Would definitely book again!
