Peaceful Winter Retreat
Cabin is located on prime spot with beautiful view of the Rifle River. Cozy and quiet; exceptionally clean; well-stocked kitchen; beds very comfortable. Rained on and off the whole time, but it we still enjoyed campfires at night, and the raindrops falling on the river added to the serenity of this beautiful cabin. Highly recommend; will return this summer or fall to enjoy the river.

Fantastic, relaxing weekend
This cottage was perfect for my family (me, my mom, my grandparents, and two dogs). The property is beautiful and secluded with only one neighbor (and you can barely see their home). The picnic table by the river was so nice to sit at in the morning while the dogs enjoyed the breeze. The cottage itself was very clean, organized, and well stocked with kitchen supplies, linens, etc. The living room is spacious enough that we still had plenty of room to maneuver even with two dog beds on the floor. The couch is very comfy - I took 3 naps totaling 8 hours on our second day! We ventured to Tawas one day and enjoyed an afternoon exploring. If we had more time we would have done more nearby but with a short weekend our main goal was to disconnect and relax. All four of the humans and both of the dogs agreed that we want to come back as soon as we can in the spring! Thank you for a wonderful weekend :)

Getaway
Fabulous location, property, amenities etc. I plan on coming back. We have a small request that the owners supply ice cube trays and a lighter for the fire pit. Not being a smoker we had to utilize our Girl Scout abilities. Thank you paper towels and grill. Everyone had fun during our adventure to the rifle river.

Even better than the listing
This property was even nicer than the pictures! The outside was well kept and nicely landscaped. Easy access to the river. Picnic tables and firepits by the river and by the house. Lots of wildlife and the bird feeder brought many birds, squirrels,and chipmunks. The inside was VERY neat and clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with lots of dishes and good pots and pans. The neighborhood was quiet. We were just a few minutes from town that had many places to get supplies. Ower got back with me when I had a question very quickly. It is a very nice home.

Beautiful view of the river
My family and I enjoyed our stay in August. The weather was pouring rain when we arrived and when we left, which made the roads less enjoyable to drive down and I was really glad we were in a truck. Also, I do agree with other reviews that mention that the surrounding neighborhood is a little sketchy but once you get to the house it's much nicer. Even though we didn't have much time outside the view from the kitchen table is beautiful. The house was very clean and the air conditioning worked perfectly on the hot August days. The beds and furniture are very comfortable and my husband loved the rocking chairs on the porch. The owner was very quick to respond when I messaged her about an issue (we blew a fuse, oops!). The only thing that would make this property better would be an easier access to the water. It was a little tricky climbing up the bank with wet feet. Overall we loved our stay and I would book again.

Cozy hideaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was clean quiet and very relaxing! Being able to enjoy the river was a bonus. We were also able to see some wildlife (squirrels, a cool frog, deer, and some cranes fishing in the river). The highlight was the bald eagle that perched in a tree looking for fish in the river. Everything was as described in the listing. Look forward to coming back again.

Gorgeous scenery!!
The property and the house was perfect for me and my wife and two young sons. The owners are very responsive to any issues. We loved the setup! Very clean, secluded, and super relaxing! The handmade rocking chairs under the awning in the front seemed to be made perfectly. And the river frontage cannot be beat!! I will be looking to book again soon! Thank you Kellie for your quick responses! You made our trip unforgettable!

Husband and kids had a great time. They enjoyed using the kayaks available. They didn’t have much luck fishing but had fun trying.
