What a wonderful house! The river was beautiful with lots of wildlife in the back yard! We did a long girls trip, hiking at sleeping bear dunes and a kayak trip ending right at the house. The access to kayaks was the best part! Close to traverse city for a day of winerys. Will definitly be plannig another trip here soon!

Honor House on Platte River

The property is wonderful - right on the Platte River near the small town of Honor. Very peaceful! The kitchen is well stocked, lots of towels, and paper goods (towels, toilet paper). Libby is a great host and responded quickly to our questions. We had 6 adults and 3 children and the accommodations were everything we needed. We will definitely rent this place again.
