Weekend getaway
Nice weekend getaway - enjoy the quiet serenity of the water flowing down the river. Saw quite a few fish, too smart for us to catch. Great stay and cabin as described

Beautiful home and property!
This home is very clean and absolutely beautiful in the woods along the river! We stayed here and did some skiing at Crystal Mountain which is just 20 minutes away. Great host!

Serene location
I stayed at the property for a long weekend with friends. The place is an idyllic cabin in the woods with a modest drive to Traverse City and various breweries in the area. The property is well maintained and the hosts are incredibly responsive. I will definitely keep this place on my list of favorites for future getaways.

Cozy Cabin
Loved this adorable log cabin next to the river. It felt private, we loved eating dinner at the table and watching the fish jump and play in the little sandbar by the cabin. It was clean and welcoming, would definitely stay again!!

Terrific place
Really nice cabin with all the stuff you need. Very quiet but close to Honor. We had most meals on the porch and got to listen to the river as it runs within a few yards of the cabin. Very relaxing time

Delightful and peaceful riverside cabin
This cabin is lovely for a relaxing, comfortable stay to enjoy the burbling river. Its location east of Honor allows easy access to Crystal Mountain, Frankfort, Crystal Lake, the Leelanau Peninsula, Interlochen and Traverse City. The cabin is alongside the Platte River, where you can say hi to kayakers and canoers as they head downriver. There are no immediate neighbors, which makes for a peaceful, enjoyable visit. The layout is a main floor with two bedrooms (queen bed in each), bathroom, under-stairs closet for storage, kitchen with small breakfast nook and island separating it from living area. Upstairs is a loft with two double beds. Only the one bathroom. It is perfect for a couple or a small family, or even two couples if they are ok with sharing the bathroom. The inside is not large, but is cozy and comfortable, and the decor is delightful, with lots of small objects to provide a warm cabin-appropriate feel. The deck that wraps around two sides of the cabin is the real star. Because of all the trees on the property and the cabin orientation, you can get either full sun or shade on different parts of the deck, as you wish. The deck is large, holding a dining table with four chairs, two chaise lounges, a small folding camping table with two chairs, and a grill, with plenty of room left over. It's the perfect spot to enjoy the river and beautiful weather. We spent a great deal of time out on this deck and loved it. Hosts Holly and Bill are wonderful and responsive.

Relaxing River Stay
My wife and I are debating on whether this property has been our favorite rental so far in the area. We loved the remote feel of this stay by the river. I launched personal kayaks from the site numerous time. We had a campfire on a couple occasions. We were close enough to all the local adventure spots. Everything was where we needed it to be and communication was easy with the owners. Would definitely stay here again.

We love everything about this cabin! This was our second time here and it won’t be our last. The amazing view of the river from inside the cabin is unbeatable, regardless of the season! It’s also a quiet and secluded location. We stay here when we ski at Crystal Mountain but also love that it’s only a 25 minute drive to Traverse City.

Peaceful getaway for a busy family
We enjoyed staying here so much. We got to see the coho salmon swimming upstream to go spawn which was so cool to see. The kids fished into the river the whole time we were there, and while we didn’t catch anything we still had a great time. I do wish there was firewood provided like we originally thought, but other than that this cabin exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to come back to the area again!

Beautiful setting, great location
My husband and I visited along with another couple and their 17-year-old daughter. Beautiful large lot with the river flowing by. A short trip to Sleeping Bear in one direction, Traverse City in the other. The house was clean, however whoever stayed before us didn't bother to wash the dishes before they put them away. Had to wash everything before we used it. The deck is nice - plenty of shade in the morning, and shade on the lawn in the afternoon. Love the firepit. Trees all around. There are neighbors nearby, but we barely heard them and never saw them. Washer/dryer is very handy. Helpful hint: if you plan to do your own cooking, BYO knives. There was a drawer full of knives, but not one was sharp enough to be useful. Also, there is a coffee pot, but if you're a tea drinker you will need to bring your own equipment. (If you're a tea drinker you already know that. 😉 We probably come here again.

Amazing Cabin
LOVED everything about this cabin!! The location is beautiful on the Platte River, even when it’s snowing! We were lucky enough to see otters. The house feels so secluded away from the road and no other houses in view. We stayed a weekend and skied at Crystal Mtn, which was only a 15 min, 10 mile drive. We’ll definitely stay here again, anytime of year. Absolutely no complaints and was even better than I expected. We didn’t even need to contact the owners because the place was well prepared and thought out.

All I can say it so amazing. The cute little cabin the amazing views and the river. First morning had a huge buck playing in the water. At night saw salmon in the river. Had a bon fire and relaxed at night. So close to everything. Owners were amazing if you had any questions. We will be back. May even have to come back a few times a year to unwind.
