We really enjoyed our weekend away. Loved the hot tub and the view! Bed was comfy. Cabin was cute. Owners were very nice. Only complaint from the weekend would be the bathroom being a bit awkward. Otherwise we loved our stay!

We had a great time at this quaint cabin on the river. The setting was peaceful, the cabin was cozy and clean, and the hot tub was the perfect way to relax. A wonderful getaway—we’d happily stay again.

Went with my parents and daughter to visit my oldest who lives in Big Rapids. It was perfect for us. Wish the weather would have been better so we could have enjoyed the outdoors more. I would love to stay in the summer. I bet it is beautiful. We had snow while we were there and Mike sent someone to shovel the walkway for us. He was very responsive when we had questions. Will definitely stay again when back in Big Rapids.
We went for a quick winter getaway. It was very cute and quiet and perfect for a relaxing couple days. The hot tub was great. It was fun to watch the squirrels jump from tree to tree above. Would definitely stay again!

Thank you for your great review. You are welcome back to any of our Simple Lyfe Stays properties anytime.
This was the second year that I have come here and it was great the first year. This year the owner added extra days to my stay outside of the VRBO platform and tried charging egregious cleaning fees for a strained comforter that was stained prior to my arrival. The use of foreign customer service is probably the problem and the lack of understanding due to the language barrier. In order to face cost, often times quality is sacrficed. I would not recommend this place.
We had a wonderful time at this cabin! It was exactly as described—peaceful, relaxing, and the perfect escape. The setting was incredibly quiet, with a beautiful view of the river that we enjoyed every day. Our dogs had an amazing time too, which made the trip even better. Everything was comfortable and just what we were hoping for. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature!
Everything was wonderful.
Exactly as pictured peaceful setting.
