Best cozy cabin by the river
Clean, cozy, and spacious cabin in a prime location! It is a short drive to Traverse City, Lake Michigan, Platte River access, and cute coastal towns. Beautiful view of the river (and ducks). The owner was very friendly and kind and connected with us before our departure. The fully equipped kitchen was a fantastic touch. Hope to stay here again soon.

An excellent property
I can’t say enough about this lovely cabin on the Platte River! It was well appointed, perfectly located, comfortable and clean. The proximity to all the northwestern Michigan has is unparalleled! It is close to a market, and several great restaurants. We were happy to have it as a base of operations to get us to the dunes, the big lake, and all of the nearby villages. We highly recommend this property!!!!
