We REALLY enjoyed our stay at the river cabin! The place is absolutely adorable! Even though this cabin has clearly been around a long time, it has been updated well and has all the comforts of a modern vacation home. The dishes are nice, the towels are soft, the bed are very comfortable and the sheets/blankets/pillows are dreamy. We stayed in the summer and the AC worked very well. Lots of little fans for each room since the unit is in the main room. The loft was adorable for the kids. They loved having their own space. It didn't get as warm up there as they thought! There is a precious sunroom and stunning riverside yard area with a great fire pit. We brought a floating foam pad that we could tie up in the river and the kids had a blast. The river moves much too fast to just climb in and swim but having a floating thing tied up was perfect. I could go on and on about having the comforts of home. It was also perfectly located right off the highway, super close to town, but was quiet as can be in the yard at all times! We were never bothered by road traffic. At night you couldn't even tell. We watched in awe as a great blue heron fished every morning and night. Perfect up north Michigan! Thank you for keeping this place comfortable and nice!

I have been coming to this same place for 5 or 6 years. I don't want to stay anywhere else. It is perfect for me and the location is perfect as well. The remodeling that was completed makes it even more enjoyable. I would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Ideal location on the Sturgeon River, close to Burt Lake, the North Central State Trail and all that the town of Indian River affords. We appreciated the updated kitchen and new wall opening direct to the dining area on this trip and plan on returning again next year.

The cabin is gorgeous and completely stocked with coffee filters, paper towel, and basically everything you need except your clothes, food, and firewood. The location was near 2 boat launches which made getting into the river pretty easy. Great stay and great cabin! Cabin feel with a modern twist - I'd stay there again in a heartbeat!

This cabin is extremely cute and very comfortable. The layout is great and offers ample sleeping room for a family of 5-6. Many items are provided for your convenience. The host has definitely thought everything out well. We really enjoyed our stay on the river front, the water was very cool and refreshing.

We had a wonderful time . We sat outside and listened to the river and enjoyed watching the ducks. The closeness to the Cross in the woods was one of the reasons we stayed there. The short drive to the Bridge was another. We would highly recommend to anyone to stay there.

Stayed here for a college reunion with a few friends. Place was very clean, cozy, and had all the fundamentals we needed. Grill out front on a very nice deck and front yard with fire pit right along the river - hang out and watch all the rafters float by, or float along on your own. Owner was pleasure to work with - very communicative and she answered any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again in the future. A+

Nice and comfy, generally pleased but no DVD player as advertised and unable to get a lot of channels because of no passwords to get in. There was also no place to put our trash as the container was completely stuffed and flies buzzing about outside.

This quaint little cabin is so peaceful. I could have spent the entire weekend on the daybed porch swing! The cabin is small, but it’s organized and decorated so cute. Anna was very quick to respond to any questions I had as well. Great host who obviously cares about her property!

This cabin is adorable! It had everything we needed and was very clean. The location is great. It’s within walking distance to several places…grocery store, coffee shop, ice cream, tube rentals and we walked about 1 mile to see the Cross In the Woods. It is also within driving distance to many tourist towns. We floated the river in tubes which was very fun if you don’t mind very cold water!! It was a perfect little getaway!

We have stayed at Riverbend cabin three years in a row now and have never been disappointed. The location is ideal. You can walk into town, to Big Bear for kayak or raft rentals, to a really good smoked fish store, to a coffee shop, to a couple of diners,to a great microbrewery with food trucks, games and live entertainment and it’s right across the road from Ken’s supermarket for last minute grocery needs. It’s also close to the rail trail for bike rides. The cabin is nicely decorated, has a ton of character and a great view of the Sturgeon River. We love cooking and eating dinner out in the deck and enjoying an evening campfire by the river. I also like to take dips in the river. There is ladder access available. It is invigorating!

Overall our stay was very enjoyable and an excellent spot on the river to people watch. What is really required is more interior lighting especially in the kitchen area.
