The swings are such a fun addition to the porch. Beds were comfy, too! Lots of dishes and cups for use. The host is informative and responsive. > **Response from ROAM:** Thank you, Lacy! ## Constance M. — Manteno, Illinois — November 2025 — 5★ Great spot for a weekend away! > **Response from ROAM:** Thank you! :-) ## Yehor R. — Palatine, Illinois — October 2025 — 5★ Great place! > **Response from ROAM:** Thank you! ## Rachel W. — Fenton, Michigan — October 2025 — 5★ We spent our 10th anniversary here in October and it was a beautiful place to reconnect and recharge from the busyness of life. The fall colors around the house were beautiful, as was the river. The fireplace made it cozy and the hot tub was a special treat. We saw lots of wildlife and enjoyed coffee on the deck. The loft area felt like a treehouse with all the windows and natural lighting. As others mentioned, the river is a bit steep to access, so we just enjoyed the view. The house is also a little more in town than we’d envisioned but it’s such a sleepy, friendly town that this was a non issue. It also meant we were close to some delicious restaurants (“Seven Slot Grill” and “J and A Little Egypt” were favs). Lots of good walking/biking opportunities around. Big Rapids close at hand. Host was incredibly responsive, directions very clear and he had a great sense of humor! Really a peaceful, beautiful space, especially in the fall. > **Response from ROAM:** Thank you! ## Ashley M. — Durand, Michigan — September 2025 — 5★ This was our 4th year staying at one of Robert’s cabin rentals and it didn’t disappoint! The house was clean and tidy and updated. The property was spacious and private with the surrounding tree coverage. We brought our 2 dogs and they loved it too! While there were so many things we loved about this property, the hot tub was probably our favorite. It was super clean and a great way to relax after a long day of activities. Highly recommend staying at this cabin or any of the Forest And Flow properties :) > **Response from ROAM:** Thank you! You're always welcome back! We love building those long term relationships with our repeat guests! ## Alex H. — Byron, Michigan — September 2025 — 5★ We absolutely loved our stay here!! Definitely a favorite of ours, loving both the inside of the house and the amazing yard (the river bei g right there was so peaceful) equally!! Hoping we can come back for a weekend stay soon 😊 ## Samantha H — Dearborn, Michigan — September 2025 — 5★ Beautiful scenery. Quiet and peaceful. Exactly what we were looking for. ## Dustin S. — Stanfordville, New York — September 2025 — 5★ House was perfect close enough to go grab anything you need but when you get on property you feel like you’re in your own world. Was perfect for what we were looking for. Check-in process was flawless. Great property ## Amanda S. — Elkhart, Indiana — September 2025 — 5★ What a great spot on the Hersey River! Beautiful house, scenic views, and a big hot tub — what else do you need? The upstairs loft and deck is a great hangout lookout point. My husband and I stayed in mid September right as the leaf colors began to change and it was a beautiful backdrop! The outside fire pit was great, too. The yard surrounding it is very private and well kept. We were also greeted by deer in the side yard as we pulled in for our stay. Very peaceful vibe overall! ## Austin G. — Clarklake, Michigan — September 2025 — 5★ it was a great secluded seeming location, the one thing i noticed i didn’t like is how close the neighbors are, they’re not very close to be a problem but i was under the impression it was a lot more isolated, other than that great place to spend the weekend, kayaking was very fun but river is a little bit shallow in some spots. ## Corissa K. — Burnsville, Minnesota — September 2025 — 5★ We loved our stay and would be back! ## Leyla P — North Aurora, Illinois — September 2025 — 5★ We had a lovely time at this cabin in the woods along a creek. We were able to bring our dog, who loved exploring around the property and had an exciting morning watching deer run through the front lawn. All in all a lovely home, very comfortable beds (honestly, most beds are never as comfortable as your own but I have to admit I was a bit annoyed that the ones here are better than my own). There are lots of places to lounge and relax, enjoy a fire or sit in the hot tub and look at the stars. It's close to town, but it doesn't feel like it once you get onto the driveway to the home. We had a lovely time and would recommend it to any family that wants to relax and enjoy the area. ## Luke V. — Kent city, Michigan — August 2025 — 5★ Forest and flow had everything they listed in the ad. It was a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the day to day grind in Grand Rapids. Really captured the northern Michigan calm. Robert, our host, was very responsive with anything we needed. Enjoyed the luxury of having a hot tub on the back porch. The kitchen was decently equipped with essentials. The house was loaded with fresh towels and linens. The appliances were great, loved the stove. Worth noting for potential visitors. The river running behind the house is a very steep bank with a sharp drop off into somewhat deep clay. The listing doesn’t call out easy access to the river, but with the name and having kayaks and tubes listed, I thought entry might be a bit easier than it was. Other than that, we had a great stay. ## Kenedi M. — Davison, Michigan — August 2025 — 5★ Only stayed overnight, but the host was responsive and it was a beautiful home! ## Will Z. — Midland, Michigan — August 2025 — 5★ A place this beautiful you would not expect to be so close to a town. Will definitely stay again. ## Thomas C. — Big Rapids, Michigan — August 2025 — 5★ We had a great stay with Forest and Flow! Everything was as promised, it was a very peaceful and relaxing stay! --- - Site index (for AI): https://roamstays.com/llms.txt _A machine-readable copy of this reviews page.
