Check the bathroom facility
Great view and scenery just feet from the river. Described as a camping cabin, the pictures show a toilet and shower. What the pictures don't show is that the toilet and kichen refrigerator and stove are separted only by a shower curtain. There are no walls, no doors and no handwashig sink. We were expecting a minimalistic camping cabin. We did not expect to share a kitchen and bathroom with no physical partition.

Lovely location, beautiful view, good spot for fishing, relaxing, good little set up for cooking out and enjoying a fire. The bad part is trying to get to the water the walk ways are bad use extreme caution. However, the cabin overall was nice as a short little getaway but the water backs up quickly in the sink, the toilet doesn’t flush properly, the hot water is extremely limited, soft spots in floor makes you have to use caution when walking.

Terrific little cabin
Julie is a great host! Very responsive and helpful. She even went above and beyond to locate a light jacket that was accidentally left behind and mailed it to us! Cabin is basic and rustic, as accurately described in the listing. Perched directly on the riverbank with nice water views and a cozy fire pit complete with split wood to burn. We spent most of our time (other than sleeping) outdoors, eating our meals at the picnic table or in the Adirondack chairs overlooking the river. Also rented kayaks from Julie’s business next door. They drove us upstream to launch the kayaks and we paddled/floated 9 miles downriver back to the cabin. A peaceful and serene trip…no sign of people, boats or structures for hours, just the wild and scenic river. Also enjoyed walking across the New Richmond swing bridge and exploring the riverside boardwalk. All in all, it was a relaxing and memorable visit.

Amazing getaway
This little cabin was perfect for my wife and I to get a chance to reconnect. We enjoyed the peace and quiet at the cabin and the short drive into Holland for an amazing dinner.

Great little getaway!
This cabin is exactly as listed - and is perfect for a weekend away. Quiet and such a beautiful view on the river. Julie was quick to respond to any questions. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to camp and explore the SW Michigan area!

Local resident of over 30yrs. I own and operate a small livery and river outfitter service on the Lower Kalamazoo River. My husband and I have spent many years enjoying the river with our family and teaching our kids to hunt and enjoy the natural environment. We now have the opportunity to share it with others while promoting stewardship in younger generations. We hope you will come join us!
