If you're looking for a hip and chill change of scenery where you can entertain, play together, or just relax by the water, this colorful riverfront cabin should fit the bill! Outside, you'll find a shared riverside deck with a table and chairs, a firepit, and a variety of watersports accessories, including adult and junior kayaks, two beach bikes, inflatable tubes, and skimboards. This adorable, single-level home includes a well-equipped, full kitchen for whipping up your favorite recipes or reheating last night's leftovers, a dining area with a stereo and turntable for spinning your favorite records, a sunlit living area with a sectional, Roku-equipped TV, gas fireplace, and a large selection of books and games, and a furnished, bonus room in the garage with a second refrigerator, microwave, and TV.
With the Platte River located just steps from your door, you can enjoy non-stop fun on the water during your stay, including fishing for steelhead and salmon. This cabin is also within 10 miles of Platte and Little Platte Lake, as well as Crystal Lake and Rush Lake. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore offers hiking and lovely views just 18 miles north. And when you need a break from river and lake activities, the Cherry Bowl Drive-In Theatre provides fun viewing during the summer season, less than a mile-and-a-half away.
