We’ve stayed here on our annual family vacation for a number of years. The grandchildren have used the river for swimming and kayaking. Six to eight kayaks are supplied with personal flotation vests. Sadly or you could say joyfully our family has grown with four of the grandchildren married with infants. Next year we must move to a home that can sleep 20, sorry Libby. We love the improvements. Continue improving the property, you have a well positioned home with easy access to all kinds of attractions. We love the Minnie golf in Benzonia, the Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Glenn Haven just to mention a few.

The house is beautiful and platte lake is very peaceful. Great get away.

Did a weekend ski/hang out with extended family. Lots of places to sleep and numerous beds. The house was very cute with a great view of the Platte River. It had everything we needed. Close to Crystal Mountain and Traverse City so you can ski and shop. Highly recommend this house.

I’m going to book this cabin again next year. Great place and perfect location.

We enjoyed our stay very much!

This was our second year staying at this house. We can't say enough good things about it! Between lounging on the docks, watching the salmon swim upstream, and kayaking, our vacation couldn't get any better. The location is ideal-close to beaches, dunes, Beulah, Frankfort, and Traverse City. The house is immaculate and perfectly suited our extended family. The owners are extremely helpful and are quick to respond with any questions you may have. We can't wait to come up again next year!

Libby’s property was everything we wanted! It was close to the beaches, drive-in movies & the kayaks were an added bonus! We would definitely recommend this place to stay & hopefully return in the future.

Great location — Plenty of things to do! The river is beautiful, and having access to kayaks is a bonus.

The property was clean the view from the deck awesome They had the extras we needed They do need to do a little better painting and patching holes in wall etc Bu over all I would recommend to anyone

Our group of 8 (including 2 sets of grand parents and 2 young kids) had a wonderful stay in Libby’s home. We used the kayaks, built fires in the fire pit and enjoyed meals on the deck. We had plenty of space to relax. The location is great - close to beaches and other towns to explore. We hope to stay again!

We had a wonderful time at this house. It was close to Interlochen for concerts and shows and right on a creek for kayaking as well as many other activities. It fit our family perfectly!

Our family of 9 adults as well as children enjoyed the setup and location of this home on the river. We used the kayaks twice and especially appreciated the tip about Peterson Rd beach, which was definitely a family favorite. We also visited Frankfort, Sleeping Bear, and Glen Arbor. Libby was responsive with questions which was helpful for our stay.

This was our 3rd summer staying here. It's a perfect place for a large family. Being on the river is great for the kids! We'll most likely be back next year!

This house is the perfect getaway. We loved both the inside and outside spaces of the house. Both were very well maintained. We spent every night out by the fire. It was the perfect spot for a nice relaxing vacation.

Good

Great time, nice & peaceful on the river. Very clean, great spaces for all kinds of family fun - both indoors & outside. Beautiful deck, big kitchen, & lots of sleeping room. Great location close to the sand dunes. Owners were very responsive to our questions.

Had a great time with all my friends and the included kayaks was a huge plus, Platte river is intense with a lot of obstacles so be ready. Buddy caught a trout. Place was very well kept and clean. Thought the window ac units being the only cooling source was gonna be an issue but it worked out amazing as the nights were cool. Basement could use some TLC but had 0 affect on our time everyone had a blast and is very affordable we would come back again.

Very nice house, the kids enjoyed it a lot.

The host was gracious and allowed us to take our dog after plans fell through. Upon arrival, it was very clear that others (owners or guests) bring pets as well as there was waste all over the yard, the driveway and the steps going into the home. While the beds were comfortable and the bedrooms spacious, many things were in a mild state of disrepair (holes in the wall, tape on a window, a missing cabinet door, the overhead light didn’t work in the loft bedroom and the lamp was missing a lightbulb, the fan light in the master bath didn’t work, etc). The loft was wonderful for our children and the bedrooms downstairs accommodated the adults and younger children well, and it could be an awesome rental with a bit of TLC. In short, we’ve stayed in number of rentals in the area and the cost of this one did not align with our expectations.

This is a charming and surprisingly spacious cabin along the Platte river with an absolutely stunning view. Very well kept and clean. The owners continue to make improvements every year and obviously care a lot about the property.

Second time in the area and we had a great time in this very nice setting. The access to the river immediately behind the property was wonderful. Highly recommend this as a place to stay.

We stayed at Riverbend Retreat for our 4th year this year and we have been very very satisfied every year. The property is gorgeous, Libby is so attentive and kind and we highly recommend staying here. Love it!

Peaceful setting in Honor. The house is nice and spacious. They have plenty of toys for the choosing, with a nice deck overlooking the Platte River. Good location for golfers who are playing local courses like Champion Hill and Pinecroft.

Can't recommend this property enough. The location next to the river is serene and there is plenty of things to do within 30 minutes of the property.

We had a large group of four couples, five toddlers between us. The property was perfect for a large group! Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to have their own space. Kayaks available to use, and a serene, peaceful setting on the river. Very well stocked kitchen - everything you could possibly need! Very close to all the area attractions - 15-20 mins to Sleeping Bear Dunes sites like the dune climb, Empire Bluffs trail, Pierce Stocking scenic drive, Platte Beach, Esch Beach, etc. Great stay! Thank you!

Property outside is a lot nicer than the picture depicts. Having the kayaks was a major plus! Saved a lot of money to not having to rent them.

We loved this place! The house and property are beautiful. The docks were perfect for hanging out by the river in the morning. There were plenty of kayaks, and beach equipment for the adults and kids, and the location can't be beat! We can't wait to come back up next year!

Our 2nd consecutive year! We had a great time!

We had such a great time. The house was beautiful. Super clean. Libby checked in with us to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. We enjoyed watching the kayaks and canoes go by and loved the fires at night. Also- the beds were so comfortable! I can’t wait to stay there again!

Great location on the Platt River with convenience to golf and shopping.

Our family enjoyed staying in this beautiful property by the river. We shared meaningful times around the bonfire, and ate meals on the deck and in the kitchen and family room. We appreciated the proximity to Little Platte Lake, Empire Bluff and other fun places. We would consider renting this home again for another family reunion!

Clean and well supplied.
