This was a magical place to stay. The river is so peaceful I enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the water. My kids loved playing in the river. You feel very secluded. I hope to come back in the future to enjoy another week here.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Very nice cabin right on the Platte River. Location was great close to Lake Michigan beaches, a short drive to Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes. We would stay again if we vacation in that area again.

Lovely home by the river
We had a great stay at this property. It was as described in the listing. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Excellent location for accessing Crystal Mountain. Would also be a great location for accessing Sleeping Bear, but we didn't make time to do that. Reading lights in all the spots you might want one. The kids loved the spacious loft area. We would definitely stay here again!

Fall fishing trip
Great place to stay for our Fall fishing trip. Although we didn’t fish the river behind the cabin, we could have because there were plenty swimming by on their way upstream. We fished several other rivers in the area and used the cabin as our home base. It was a wonderful trip and we’ll be booking again !

Platte River trip
Holly and Bill were very pleasant and helpful hosts. The cabin was great. Well stocked. Campfires by the river under the stars was incredible.
Very comfortable matresses and pillows.
We had a group of guys staying for a fishing trip. We cooked at the cabin and eeverything was great.

Ironman 70.3 race
The cabin was a perfect place to stay for our race, it was close to the race site and everything we needed was a short drive. The cabin has all the essentials we needed, the beds and sofas were comfortable. We also enjoyed the deck and the river runningthrough the property.

beautiful
If you enjoy nature and privacy, this cabin is perfect. It is true to its description. The cabin backs up right to the Platte river and a large deck to go along with it. Plenty of chairs, outdoor table...The kitchen is well stocked if you want to cook and the location is close enough to restaurants if you prefer eating out. Sleeping Bear Dunes, Leland, Suttons Bay, Traverse city, Glen Arbor....all within easy driving distance. I would highly recommend it. Enjoy!!

Peaceful retreat on the Platte River
We had a wonderful time at this cabin! The location is beautiful - the river is right off the deck and it's very private. We didn't see anyone except for the occasional kayaker paddling by. The cabin itself is lovely - very comfortable, clean, had everything we needed for our stay, and the hosts were very responsive when we had a small question about firewood. We would definitely consider returning the next time we are heading up to the Interlochen area!
Our return trip to your property this year was just as enjoyable as the prior years we've been there! Kayaking on the river, relaxing on the deck or sitting around the bonfire were all so perfect. The kitchen was once again well stocked making the entire stay great. You can bet we'll return again next summer!
