Not what is was advertised.
Our first impression was it was wide open. The neighbors watched us whenever we were outside. The entire back yard was littered with dog crap, discarded building supplies, beer caps. No worries, we won't be back.

Wonderful View of the Muskegon River
Delightful secluded cabin with all that you need for your stay and check in and check out was seamless and host very friendly and responsive. Beautiful view of the Muskegon River. Locals were friendly, close to Big Rapids for a run in to a restaurant if that's what you want to do.

Relaxing River Cabin appropriately named!
I had an absolutely wonderful stay. When I arrived, it was becoming clear that it was going to snow overnight and then get very very cold. I was thankful to have restaurants and grocery stores close! After stocking up for the weekend, I just stayed put, and relaxed, and really enjoyed the view of the river as I sipped tea and let the world melt away. Didn’t get to XC ski or FatBike, I was just too cozy. Maybe next time. Definitely will be a next time. This was just what I needed:)

Not for along stay
We were booked for a little under two months, but my husband had a health issue and we ended up there for 6 weeks. When you are staying that long you do not wish to go out to eat every nigh and we found a lack of acceptable restaurants in Big Rapids. The place was lacking in cooking utensils. There were no casserol dishes, no mixing bowls and blasting brush. (These items I bought myself and left for the next tenants.) The knives were dull. When I told the owner, the reply was the place is not set up for gourmet cooking. There was a decent set if pots and pans and a acceptable amount of plates, flatware and drinking glasses There was not a dresser in either bedroom. There was a bar to hang pants and shirts from in one bed room, but the closet looked so dirty I would not put my close in it.The same room had a coffee table to put your close on. The bed to the left had no were to put your close on. The mattress in the to the right was shot. It had a definite butt print and was lumpy on the door side. The window side of the bed was ok. The only piece of furniture that was at all comfortable was the bed in the first bedroom. You could not see the river while inside except from one dining room chair. My husband would not be able to fish from the dock because of a fallen tree. I came to see old friends

Nice
Irst thing when we arrived the neighbors house was less than 100 yrds from the side of house and quite visible. The house smelled of old cigarette smoke. The inside window sills were all dirty and needed cleaned. The fishing was impossible due to trees that had fallen across water. They had been there for years.
