Beautiful sunsets from the hot tub!
Cute place, clean, very well-equipped and comfortable. Very nice view/access to the river - we enjoyed some really beautiful sunsets from the hot tub! Loved the pet-friendly option as well - our vacations are so much more relaxing when we aren't worried about leaving our girl behind. :-)

A great place to stay
I stayed here for a golf weekend and was very impressed with the house. Everything was very clean and the hot tub was perfect after a day of golf. If it's a clear night, turn off all the lights and enjoy the stars. The renting process was easy and Dorene was great to work with. Highly recommend would definitely stay here again.

Great relaxing cabin.
Wonderful rustic cabin. Was great for our dog as it is all fenced in with a gate, so he could not wander off. Sitting in the hot tub overlooking the river was wonderful. Central to all locations in the area. Would like to come back for a few days in the summer...

Wonderful getaway
Beautiful river view, close to everything yet private and quiet. Swans floating by all day and a pair of bald eagles fishing right in front of the cabin! Large bedroom, comfortable bed and very nice cabin decor. Very well stocked kitchen and baths. Jacuzzi was great after a day of skiing. Perfect for the two of us and our doggo.

Great location, great experience!
I booked only a few days before hand and Dorene was great answering questions via email right away. River's Edge was exactly what I hoped for. My kids loved the hot tub and being close to Indian River was beautiful. The place was very clean and the décor made you feel at home. I definitely hope to make this a yearly visit!

Quiet Get Away
We werent even there 5 minutes before everyone was getting in the hot tub and having such a beautiful view just off the deck in the winter of the river made it even better. Area was quiet and peaceful and just what we all needed to step away from our busy lives down state. Definetly will be back

Everything you need and more
We had a great time and wished we could have stayed longer! Everything you need is there and we felt right at home. My Father fished from the dock, we had a nice fire (wood provided), really enjoyed the hot tub and visited local places we used to frequent years ago when my Parent's had a place in the area. We will definitely book again in the future!

This was my second time at the River's Edge and I absolutely enjoyed it! The location is a perfect mix of seclusion and proximity to everything the Indian River area has to offer. The decor is very tasteful and welcoming, it was very clean and comfortable and had all of those little things like board games that really add up. I'll be back for sure!

Winter Wonderland
The house was very clean and the check in process was easy. The owners of the house even reached out to us that we could check in early because of a winter storm getting ready to hit the area so we were able to get on the road earlier in the day. That right there should tell you alot about who you are renting the house from. I give the house 5 stars and will be returning in the near future! O and the view from the deck is amazing looking over the Indian River where we saw numerous bald eagles cruising the river looking for a meal. Great place overall.

Unbelievable property!
This property was better than expected! Clean, beautiful, well maintained, and quality furnishings. Dorene was wonderful to work with. If you want a nice place on the river, look no further! I grew up in Michigan and wanted a place away from it all, to spend with family and do some sight seeing. It was absolutely perfect!

Wonderful getaway at Rivers Edge!
What an amazing cabin! Had everything we needed plus some. The hot tub looking out on the water is heavenly. We have 3 long haired chihuahuas and they were very relaxed and enjoyed their time at the cabin as well. Fenced in on both sides! We will be coming back I'm sure of it. Great area, plus short drive to petoskey and to the U.P, really had a wonderful weekend. Thank you Dorene for the quick feedback and letting us stay at this beautiful place.

We loved this place so much we booked an extra night's stay, and we want to come back every year! The pictures don't even do justice to the beautiful home and gorgeous view! We got the most incredible photographs at sunset. We took out the paddle boat, roasted marshmallows over the fire, and soaked in the hot tub. Our dogs were in heaven with the huge fenced yard and the calm water to swim in. We had all the conveniences and comfort of home and more. Dorene was extremely responsive and accommodating.

Enchanting Cabin - Wonderful Stay!
This cabin is the quintessential home away from home! The location of this cabin is perfect for daytripping. Petoskey, Cheboygan, Harbor Springs, Mackinaw City, and Mackinac Island are all just a quick drive away! The cabin itself is fully stocked with all the essentials (including a hairdryer and curling iron!). We were elated to find coffee already in the fridge for us after such a long (but scenic!) car ride. The plethora of board games made our evenings exciting, along with the relaxing hot tub! We highly recommend this cabin to anyone and the owner was great to work with! Thanks, again!

Peace on the river!
We had a great stay while skiing in Harbor Springs. The house was only 20 minutes from the ski hills & the hot tub was the perfect way to wind down each night. The house was perfect for our family of 3. Clean, tidy & offered all the amenities as advertised. The location is peaceful & private with scenic views overlooking Indian River. We saw eagles & swans daily- our teenage son got a kick out of "calling" to the swans, they waited for him daily in the am & they'd "talk" back & forth! Dorene was helpful with any questions we had prior to arrival. We'll be back!

I loved my stay at the River's Edge! Everything was perfect.
When I first walked into the home, I was really impressed with everything from the paint colors to the furniture to the throw pillows. The bed was supremely comfortable. And that view... wow! We stayed for just three nights, but I wish we'd been able to plan for longer. This is a place where just being there is a vacation, even though there are plenty of activities and places to explore nearby. There's a good grocery market just a few miles away, a bar down the road, a grill, a hot tub, and a fire pit--what more could you ask for? Between the privacy fences and woods, there were no concerns about privacy. We paddle boated on the lake Sunday morning and saw swans. I traveled with my husband and dog, but I think this would work for a small family or two couples as well.

Loved it!
THis cottage is awesome. The sunsets are amazing and nice to sit on the dock just to watch the boats and sunsets. We used the kayaks once just to say we did, but since our pontoon was at the dock, we preferred motor power. The fenced yard is perfect for the dogs. The cottage was clean, and the beds were great, although we did not use the bunk beds so don't know about those. The kitchen was well stocked with kitchen gagets and appliances, but did not have a 9x13 brownie pan. That is the one and only negative I can come up with. So if you base your stay on a brownie pan, this is not the cottage for you, everything else is over the top great! We WILL book this cottage again if it is available when we plan a return Michigan trip.
