Well kept cabin on a beautiful secluded property. Caught some fish in the shallow Cut River and had a blast canoeing. There were many other vessels available as well. If you're interested in visiting this place, just book it you won't regret it.

Amazing place for some rest and relaxation

We spent a long weekend at the cabin right after Christmas and we had an amazing experience. The river is much closer to the cabin than what I anticipated and the windows from the cabin show a beautiful view! The cabin was clean and cozy with enough room for all six of us and our two German shepherds. It was such a relaxing place that I never wanted to leave. We can't wait to go back!

Beautiful location

We had a wonderful weekend stay with our dog. Multiple canoes and kayaks were available. The river is so peaceful and easy to navigate. Very private, lots of birds, the stars were incredible at night. The porch was my favorite place. We ate all of our meals there. If you are like me and enjoy almost all aspects of camping except sleeping in a tent, this is the perfect rental for you. It was clean and thoughtfully equipped and communications were very good! Thank you so much for sharing and thank you for letting us bring our dog too. She thought she was in heaven!

Quiet getaway

We loved the cabin and enjoyed our stay. The wood burning stove kept the cabin warm despite it being the middle of February. The property is beautiful with the river steps away. We're already planning on going back later this year and taking advantage of the canoes.

Incredible getaway!

This property is a wonderful break from the crowded noise of campgrounds and cabins close together. With a river running through it. This is the perfect place to relax off the grid. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay!

What an awesome time!

I took my 20 yr old son and 2 dogs with me for 3 days "off-grid". Only disappointment was I had cell service but the cabin and property were amazing, from the riverside cabin the the wood fired sauna, it was a great weekend. Be sure to get up at sunrise to listen to the 1,000's of birds, the gobble of the Turkeys and the calling of the Coyotes. Already planning my next trip.

Winter trip

We had a great time at this cozy rustic cabin. The fire was lit when we arrived with plenty of wood to burn. It had everything that we needed. The kids loved going into the sauna. At night we had never seen so many stars in the sky.

Beautiful cabin by the river

Super secluded. Rustic cabin but with some great amenities. The river is right off the back patio and has crystal clear waters. Property owner was very helpful with all the information we needed. Lots of people asking about where this place was based on the pictures we were taking.

Unplug and unwind

If you are looking for a remote getaway look no further. We visited with our two teenage girls and 2 dogs. Everyone had a great relaxing time and the location is beautiful. The only company is an occasional kayak down the beautiful river. Jeremy was so nice and helpful and even contacted us a couple times during the stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back.

Great place to get away from it all

If you are looking for a great place to get away and enjoy the outdoors, this is the place! Jeremy was an excellent host. Property was exactly as described. The pitcher well takes a few pumps to prime, but then you get great tasting water....no worries about sulfer. Honestly one of my favorite trips I have taken and my girlfriend and I plan to head back next year!

Halfway between roughing it and a life of comfort

We had a great time at this cabin! It is the perfect mix of secluded from the world, and yet 15 minutes from stores, restaurants, and Higgins Lake beaches. The cabin was pretty toasty in the summer and the screened windows would have been perfect if Mother Nature had given us some wind. The outhouse was very comfortable for what it was. It was rather dark at night in the cabin with only the battery lights, so we had to run the generator to take advantage of the electric lamps. Make sure to bring a bag of ice since there is no fridge, just a very large cooler. Minor complaints aside, we loved our visit and had a blast using the provided canoes on the river right outside our door.
