Beautiful and peaceful.

We enjoyed 4 wonderful nights at the River House. It has everything one would need to enjoy time away from the hustle and bustle of a city. Close to great little towns like Ludington, Hart, and Pentwater. Next year for our 10th Anniversary we may have to come back.

My husband, daughter, and I loved staying at this house! The view of the river is spectacular! We enjoyed watching the beavers in the river from the deck. The house was adorable and perfect for us. We also enjoyed the close proximity of downtown Pentwater.

Quiet, relaxing River House

The River House was recently remodeled, clean, well furnished and everything you needed for an enjoyably week with boys 18 and 20. It’s is close to Pentwater and other nearby towns that offered convenient amenities and activities. Only minutes from the beach, a lovely downtown for shopping and eating, mini- golf and much more. The tranquility of a nightly fire by the river was a great way to end a day of fun with the family. This offers both quiet time away from the hustle of every day as well as the opportunity to be active with the family. The River House was perfect!!

Relaxing getaway!

We loved our time here. Our two kids had a blast exploring the outdoors and looking for critters by the river. They spotted a frog, turtle, chipmunks, rabbit, and many dragonflies. Was a short drive to the downtown Pentwater area and the beach. Hope to visit again!

Stay at Pentwater

We loved having the river right in the back, it is gorgeous! We had visited after/during quite a bit of rain and the river was higher than typical, but we still enjoyed fishing and the view. This house is in a great location, close enough to easily visit the town of Pentwater, Ludington, and Silver Lakes Sand dunes. The house was clean, and nicely kept. It was a good place for kids to enjoy too :) the stairs to the basement were a little steep for our 4 year old, but once he got used to them it was no problem.
