Muskegon River Cabin

Welcome to our cabin on the Muskegon River. Our 1400 square foot cabin is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom cabin that has recently been updated. Enjoy the feel of a traditional Michigan cabin on the river with modern comforts. There is plenty of room to stretch out and relax in the den overlooking the river or upstairs in the entertainment room. The entertainment room has a foosball table, dart board and futon sleeper (full size) if you need additional sleeping space.

We do have high-speed internet (wifi) if you want or need to be reached; otherwise, enjoy the solitude of the woods and river. While the inside of the cabin is comfortable and enjoyable, we can't compete with the beautiful scenery and wildlife outside. Enjoy fishing from the 200' of river frontage that is a few steps off of the porch.

If you want to canoe/kayak/tube, this is an easy great location. You can chose short or medium length trips from upstream at either the Hersey bridge or from Evart, or you can float downstream to Paris or Big Rapids.
There are electric baseboard heaters and a window unit air conditioner in the downstairs bedroom if it is needed. We are in the woods, so we have nice fresh cold well water.
Whether you are traveling to see family, looking for a base for hunting season, enjoying opening weekend of trout season, or simply want a quiet weekend away, we hope you find our cabin as comfortable and relaxing as we do.
You will find the following amenities:
Full functioning kitchen (full size refrigerator and stove, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, plates, silverware, pots, pans, skillets, etc.)
Full size bathtub and shower
Hot and cold water
TV, DVD
Foosball Table, Dart Board and some indoor games
Heat
Dining table (view of river)
Couch and 2 recliners (with view of river)
2 full size beds and 1 full size futon mattress
fresh linens (towels, washcloths, sheets, comforters, dishtowels) - please bring your own towels for use on the river
Gas Grill
Fire pit with firewood
If you bring clothes, food and drinks, and you will survive and be happy!
If you don't want to cook, it is a short drive to Hersey, Evart, Reed City and Big Rapids.
We love animals, but unfortunately have allergies in the family, so pets aren't allowed.

Awesome River House
We loved this house and the surroundings! It was a wonderful house right on the river as pictured. Three great access points up river so we could kayak (or tube). Can't wait to visit again.

Best VRBO Yet!
We can't say enough about how great this place is. We came here twice this year and a family member booked a separate trip as well. Great spot, everything you need and lots to do. The hosts' communication was some of the best I've ever had -- they really make sure you're kept informed and feel welcome.

The perfect escape
This is a great place to stay if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Has all of the amenities that you need for a short visit. Cabin was clean and updated. River view was beautiful and within steps of the cabin.

This place has everything you'll need to take in the river views, cook epic meals, and enjoy indoor or outdoor activities. I appreciate the renters for sharing this property as it reminds me of why I call MW my home.

Peaceful & quiet stay!
We enjoyed our stay. It was quite & peaceful. We were able to sit on the porch & watch the river flow by. We kayaked down to the property & it was a little tricky to get out there, so that could be improved. But it was a beautiful river trip! The bathroom is pretty dated but it was clean so we were ok with it. The Keurig did not work right so we contacted the homeowner and they delivered a new Keurig that day (thank you). We didn’t care for the fact we had to haul the bag of trash hanging out our window down the lane to the road. But, overall satisfied with our stay.

Perfect River Cabin
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property for our annual girls weekend! We floated from the cabin down to Paris Park (6 hours in tubes). The home was well stocked with everything we needed and the stay was very comfortable. Bob and Susan were great at communication and were very good hosts. We would love to come back sometime.

The perfect getaway spot…
Had a great stay at Bob & Susan’s cabin. A very peaceful, relaxing area with all kinds of outdoor activities. With the river right in the backyard the sound of it flowing was just so relaxing. The owners are very nice folks with great communication. Thank you again, I highly recommend them.

Relaxing girls weekend
My friend and I took a long weekend and stayed here. The hosts were great and quick to respond. The kitchen was well stocked, the games were a lot of fun and the river view was incredible. There was lots of wood stocked to have a fire. Rafts and rope for floating the river were provided (just a bit too chilly for that when we stayed). We went fishing everyday, it was very quiet and peaceful. Loved it!

Cleanest rental we have ever stayed at!
The cabin was immaculate! Well kept and well stocked. The river was so peaceful and we enjoyed the fire pit. Saw lots of deer and birds. We rented kayaks one day and tubes the other day with J&J rentals in Evart. We really enjoyed that. Bob was quick in his replies and very helpful. Would stay there again for sure!!

Amazing
Absolutely loved the cabin super clean Had everything you needed except food and clothes. tons to do. The kids had a great time and were never bored. Loved being right on the river was easy to get in and float right to the cabin. The host was amazing and checked in on us to make sure we were all set. Location was great out in the middle of nowhere but still close enough to go to the store to get things we needed.

Cousin's trip
This trip was perfect. We chose it because of the location. It's very close to our grandparent's house. The cabin was clean, welcoming and the area is so quiet and peaceful. The kitchen had adequate amount of cooking equipment which was very nice. Communication with the lister was great. I received multiple text messages just to check in and see if we needed anything. I would definitely book a stay here again.
