It was a beautiful area, absolutely loved everything about it. Definitely the feel of privacy and getting away from the hustle of our everyday life. The home was so secluded there were no window coverings needed and equipped with everything we needed and more. Even little things like bug spray, hot dog fire cookers, charcoal...which we brought all of these things. We had wifi...but who needs wifi in nature (well, my husband needed it), not as outdoorsy as me. Loved the firepit for the chilly nights. And after a long day on the water playing we loved the board cabinet full of board games....hence the title (I won). There are tons of hooks in the home to hang towels and bags. It was older and rustic but cozy and quaint. That was part of the charm that I enjoyed so much. The shower was a bit rough but not a deal breaker. It does need cleaned out, it did not drain well. But honestly I wasnt looking for the Ritz! I do wish I had understood that there was no direct view of the river from the house....I dont think the add was deceiving but rather I read more into it because I saw pictures of the shared dock. But it was an easy walk and nothing to complain about...it was a beautiful view. Platte river was amazingly crystal clear....I've never seen a river like this before. We will most definitely book again. I wonder if some of the other homes in the same area are owned by this company? I would love to bring a larger group and stay again. Thank you...much needed R &R!!

Private, quiet location. Be aware there's no dining chairs/table so my 80-year-old parents could not sit on the very high barstools to eat. No directions about the "shared access dock" so a bit misleading. Suited our needs otherwise. Really great accommodations for price.

The proximity to the river and Lake Michigan were great. The cabin is in need of updating and a deep cleaning. There were dead bugs every where, cobwebs, water stains and filthy throw rugs. I would not stay here again.

The beds were very uncomfortable, we arrived and could not find the shared dock, I reached out and was told it was within 500 ft of property. I knew it was going to be seared access through someone’s yard so we were unable to use the water which was one of the main reasons we booked this property. The stove went out on day 3 of our stay and they were unable to fix it so we were unable to cook what we had brought for dinners. I would not stay at this property again.

Great location, lots to do in area. Nice cabin. Dock is not actually in property you have to walk approx 800 ft down a dirt road to a shared community dock.

Cottage is nestled in a wooded area that was very appealing to me and my husband. Cottage was quaint, beds were comfy and the kitchen was well appointed. A few issues were: Bathroom lighting was very poor and the shade didn't roll up for additional natural lighting so I used a rubber band. The refrigerator was so close to the wall with baseboard it could not be fully opened which was annoying. Our first night there was a mouse or chipmunk in the ceiling of our room that it was gnawing in the ceiling waking me up twice. A problem which will cause the owner trouble down the road. All and all I would rent it again once these issues were fixed. Thank you!
