Nice place to stay right on the river - peaceful and quiet! Internet works well, and the home is well equipped.Hot tub right on the deck overlooking the river is a nice touch.
Lots of cobb webs and dust in most rooms. Unable to enjoy the deck or hot tube as the mosquitos were too bad even during the day. Steps to the cabin are very slanted and not very safe. Everything you need in the kitchen was provided. Everything worked as it should in the entire cabin. View was very nice from the deck.
We absolutely loved this place to bring in 2025. It is updated, clean, and extremely easy to check in and out. We are hoping to stay again in the near future!!
Property was well kept, loved the access to the river and use of aqua cycle and kayaks. Hot tub was great after the aqua cycle. The whole family loved the weekend. Will stay again in the future.
We had a great stay at The River’s Edge. Cabin was exactly as pictured and had everything needed to make our vacation awesome. Location was great, close to Mackinac City, Petoskey and Cheboygan. Enjoyed Indian River also as well as Burt Lake Brewery. We would stay there again!
Pictures were actually worse than the property looked in real life. Wonderful cabin stocked full of all the amenities and thoughtful adds. A shed full of accessories for boating. Several kayaks and a water cycle were included. Complete peace and quiet on the river every night. Relaxing in the hot tub under the stars was unforgettable. The ONLY complaint is how hard the water is, how it smells like sulfur. A home filtration system would be an amazing addition and pay dividends in satisfaction.
The house was great! Perfect size for us and we loved being able to see the boats pass by on the river from the couch. We appreciated the nice set of dishes...especially the perfect coffee cups! Our dog really enjoyed the fenced in yard and the ability to run in to cool off whenever he wanted. Such a relaxing week!
Dorene and John were an incredible pleasure to work with. Very accommodating and helpful, I wish all property managers had this approach.
The house was very clean and the check in process was easy. The owners of the house even reached out to us that we could check in early because of a winter storm getting ready to hit the area so we were able to get on the road earlier in the day. That right there should tell you alot about who you are renting the house from. I give the house 5 stars and will be returning in the near future! O and the view from the deck is amazing looking over the Indian River where we saw numerous bald eagles cruising the river looking for a meal. Great place overall.
Loved this property so much. Peaceful, clean and beautifully decorated. Great communication with the host, nicely stocked kitchen and our dog Loved the fenced yard., Thank you so much, would definitely recommend.
Enjoyed a quick trip/stay at this cute little cabin. We were able to fish from the dock (and other local spots), relax in the hot tub, and enjoy the spectacular view of nature. Dorene & John had everything you would need there and more. We ate at the Wigwam (right down the road) which had excellent pizza. 10/10 recommend.
Cute place, clean, very well-equipped and comfortable. Very nice view/access to the river - we enjoyed some really beautiful sunsets from the hot tub!
Loved the pet-friendly option as well - our vacations are so much more relaxing when we aren't worried about leaving our girl behind. :-)
