Was a great spot for the family to use for our hub during bridge walk/holiday weekend. Kids loved using kayaks in the river. Adults loved relaxing on the deck!

Beautiful and Peaceful
The home was clean, beautiful and had everything we needed. There were a lot of activities to do at the house.
The location was perfect for exploring or just relaxing. Property was beautiful and quiet. Plenty of room for sleeping and spreading out for our family. Would recommend for small or larger groups.
The property was as expected based on the listing. Worked well for our family of 6, 4 adults and 2 grand kids. Nice setting, extremely quiet was a good base to see some of the UP sites. We didn't atv, but the trails were very close but far enough that you could hear any noise. Would recommend for family vacation. Could accommodate 9 easily and the two living areas would be good for multi generational vacations.

Amazing family stay near Mackinaw
We had a family weekend trip at this amazing river hutch and had a wonderful time. We had plenty of space for our family of 9. We used the kayaks and brought our own too for a lovely river ride. The fire pit was lovely and we spend a lot of time on the double decks. It was in a perfect location for our day trips to Mackinaw Island, St Ignese and Mackinaw City. Thank you for a lovely adventure we definitely would come back to stay again!
The property is close enough to the main road to be convenient but far enough away to enjoy the peacefulness of nature. We enjoyed the variety of deck spaces to relax and take in the river view.
Hosts were friendly and easy to work with Updated kitchen was very nice Great views

Perfect for our short stay!
We had decided to partake in the Mackinac Bridge tractor ride so we needed a place for all of us to stay last minute. This worked great and was just off of 75 for a quick trip back down to St. Ignace. Highly recommend for a little weekend getaway!
The area was beautiful, we loved kayaking on the river and haveing bon fires

What a great place!
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had a great location for all of our UP adventures. Communication with the hosts was outstanding, and we loved the property. Plenty of room for all of us with a great view. :-)
House was very clean and nice, great location on the river and central to many different things we wanted to do. Lots of space, beautiful large deck for sitting out.

Thank you Jessi! We were so happy you had a great time and hope to have you back again!
Check in was easy breezy and the kitchen had everything we needed! It was unusually hot outside so the cabin was a bit warm but the host dropped off portable air conditioners for us in a matter of hours. Beautiful scenery and comfortable beds. I would highly recommend!

Piece of heaven
This was truly one of the most relaxed trips I've been on. Not only the beautiful view from the deck, but the house was beautiful, clean and tucked away from the outside world. If I could give 10 stars I would. Will definitely be returning. Thanks to Michelle for the wonderful stay
The home was the perfect size for our family! My grandparents enjoyed having their own space in the lower level. The nature was so fun to watch every day. It was cozy enough that we decided to spend our last day in the UP at the house rather than traveling.
It rained our 2 nights here so we only could use indoor features. We didn't find any of the furniture comfortable and had to go out and buy pillows as the ones provided were very flat and stiff. Also to note for anyone with mobility issues, the steps to get to the front door and indoor steps (house is a split level) are pretty steep. Views of the river were nice and liked the fairly isolated location.

Secluded Winter Getaway
Our stay at the River Hutch was wonderful. It was a clean and cared for house, the perfect winter weekend getaway for our small family. We had originally planned to snowmobile and picked this rental for its proximity to the trail. We didn’t end up being able to trailer our sleds, but can confirm this property is right by the trails - we hope to return another winter!
Our young daughter had so much fun playing with the tic tac toe board and playing outside in the snow, especially looking for animal prints! The windows at the property are amazing and we had gorgeous snow globe views the entire stay. The beds were comfy and the showers were great. Highly recommend a stay here.
