Rock River Retreat Located Between Munising & Mqt, 20 Miles To Picture Rocks!

Rock River Retreat, located in a quaint, out of the bustle, town, 20 miles south of Munising/Pictured Rocks area called Eben Junction! This vacation home is located midway between Munising and Marquette, the perfect spot for all of your days activities. Be sure to read more recent review below:

Sitting above a river that has a fast flow during the spring and slows to a trickle during the summer months. There's a bridge to cross the river and explore the fields across. Lot's of open spaces here for privacy and playing. Enjoy the swing in the yard while watching the river and some wildlife too!

4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, this home, located on land once farmed by a local family and now a picturesque vacation spot to enjoy the peace and quiet. Lots of walking and playing space on the 18 acres.

ATV and snowmobile trail nearby, Eben ice caves, water falls, lots of lakes in the area for swimming and fishing.

Rock River Retreat is located 20 miles SW of Munising/Pictured Rocks area and 20 miles NE of Marquette, so right in the middle for quick, easy drives to all your activities.

***** (5 stars) Peaceful and beautiful Left on Oct 19, 2020 for a stay in Oct 2020
Our group of 7 adults and 1 young child found this to be the perfect place to stay while we visited Pictured Rocks and enjoyed the fall colors. The house was clean and the grounds were beautiful. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the deck and listening to the little creek flowing. We appreciated that we could do our own cooking and avoid restaurants during this pandemic time. There was no Internet connection and cell phone service was very spotty, which just adds to the serenity of the place, in my opinion.
*****(5 stars) Amazing Left on Sep 20, 2020 for a stay in Sep 2020
hands down the best vacation I ever took!! And to make it that much better it was my honeymoon! Beautiful home and scenery!
***** (5 stars) Clean, Quiet Vacation Home Left on Aug 12, 2019 for a stay in Jul 2019
We really enjoyed this clean, quiet vacation rental. This was the first time we had rental a vacation home and we were very pleased. It was great to bring the family to a "home" environment vs stuffing the family in a hotel room. The entire process was hassle free. Very relaxing.
Perfect location and beautiful cottage

Peaceful Home Away from Home

As titled, this retreat is truly a home away from home whether you decide to sit back, relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, or you venture out and about and return each day to your vacation home. A true UP gem!

It was okay. Older home far from town or commercial area. Only one bathroom...

We had fun as a family. It was only one bathroom so it was a challenge but overall it was a great time as a family.

Remote and relaxing

We loved the house and the property. The lack of cell signal was an issue when we were trying to plan our days out. We found we had to figure out the driving info in town the day before. I also missed the northern lights 2 nights in a row as I was oblivious and the lovely deck faces south. If you want peace and quiet it's perfect. The house is clean and cozy and has everything you need. There is lots of space for the kids to run wild. We had a great time.

Nice property

Enjoyed the house and property. Everything you need is pretty much supplied already. Our boys enjoyed the creek. Great ice cream shop right down the road. Only downside is no cell service which would help planning next day activities, but was already stated prior and wasn't a big deal to us. If you like being away from everything this is a great place to go.

Unplug and relax

This was our first trip to the Upper Peninsula and our first time using Vrbo to find housing. My teenage daughter wanted to celebrate her 16th birthday exploring the UP wilderness and actually found the Rock River Retreat on Vrbo. Having never done this before I was a little cautious going into this. Lisa made all the reservations and paperwork a breeze. We received timely communications and were able to complete the reservation process with no incidents. The Rock River Retreat is a beautiful older home in the hamlet of Eben Junction, Michigan. It's not in the "middle of nowhere" but you can see it from there. The home itself is spotlessly clean and well maintained and the starter supplies are more than sufficient to get you going. If you do need something, the Chatham Co-op store is 10 minutes down the road and has a very nice selection for a small rural grocery store. Our own house it out in the country so we are familiar with rural living but the peace and serenity that surrounds you on the beautifully maintained 18 acres seemed to melt the every day stress away. That being said, there are some caveats to country living. The house is on well water and will have a bit of a sulfur odor to it. It's harmless and the water is fine for cooking, bathing and drinking but if you are not used to it, you might want to bring a couple of gallon jugs of drinking water. The other thing to be aware of is the lack of cell service/internet. Some may view this as an inconvenience but we viewed it as a feature of the house! Our daughter and her best friend were forced to put down their phones and talk to us and each other. There are board games in the closet to keep you busy and there are plenty of spots in the house and property to curl up with a good book. The only time I missed my phone was when there was some weather moving in and I couldn't check on the local forcast. We did find that the "weather stick" was surprisingly accurate! (You'll have to stay here to figure out just exactly what I'm talking about! LOL!) We spent a couple days exploring the Munising area and made one trip to Marquette. There is so much to do, we will have to come back several more times to work through our bucket list. Lisa and Tom were great hosts, checking with us over the weekend to make sure our stay was a pleasant and peaceful one. It was nice to just sit back and relax and enjoy the peace and beauty of the Rock River Retreat!

Quiet and Peaceful

The location of the house is on a nice, quiet and peaceful piece of property. Had everything we needed for our stay and not to far from Munising. I would recommend it to anyone looking to get away from their busy lives, wish we could have stayed longer. There is only one down side and that is we could have used a 2nd bathroom with having 6 people staying.

moldy nightmare!

Uninhabitable lower level. Marketed to sleep 10 which included a lower level bedroom and pull out couch. We were aparty of nine. Clear water damage a foot up on the woodwork in the lower level. Floor wet. Dehumidifier running but not helping. Mold on the walls. Even the sheets on the bed were wet. We slept in the floor upstairs. Off the beaten path and very difficult to find. Not convenient to the sites in Munising or Marquette honestly. Tried to call house manager several times and got no response or help while we were there. Well water with horrible sulfer stench. Would not recommend!
