This little cabin was so sweet and beautiful! We really enjoyed our stay even though we only had 1 dry day. The only draw back was the road noise at night. You can’t see the traffic because of the trees, but you can really hear it at night. All in all though, great little cabin!

Our family (3 kids 5,7, & 10) really enjoyed our stay at River Haven. Of note, the entire property was very well maintained. We chose this cabin for the private river frontage and location to nearby attractions such as traverse city and the sleeping bear sand dunes. It did not disappoint. The river was great. Very clean and well maintained river bank. Fast moving water and lots of wildlife including Mallards and Deer in the backyard. The inside of the cabin was also well maintained and clean. Nothing fancy but it does the job. The kitchen has everything you would need. Upgrades that we would like to see would include a better bed in the loft. I think that area would be the preferred bedroom in the cabin if provided with a better bed. Hot water tank runs out very quickly (we got 1.5 out of 3 kids washed up in time lol) but it's a cabin so somewhat expected. Only true con of the property is the damn road being right there. When the cars finally stop and you can hear the water it's quite peaceful! With a better bed in the loft this property would of got 5 stars from us, otherwise very nice little cabin. Best part of the property is the backyard. W/ a great back deck, fire pit, and the awesome riverside screened gazebo it's hard to beat for the price. Cabins in this price range are rarely this well maintained.

We had a wonderful week in Michigan! My husband and girls loved waking up and fishing off of the dock, while I spent my mornings reading in the lovely screened in porch. So relaxing! We enjoyed cherry picking, kayaking and shopping in Traverse City. The house allowed us to have a trip with the perfect mix of adventure and relaxing.

This is a wonderful cabin. I stayed with friends and family for a ski trip. It has everything you need. The kitchen is fully equipped. Bathroom have extra towels, and the rooms have an extra blanket. It list 2 bedrooms and a loft, but the loft can be a 3rd bedroom. I will definitely recommend and come back
