Loved being able to fish and kayak in the river… it was a bit on the cooler side for our stay, but they also provide tubes to float down the river as well, which would have been amazing. It was my first time kayaking the Muskegon river, it’s super sandy and soft and beautiful, hardly any rocks… it would be nice to float/swim down for sure. There’s a cute pick up area/beach only a few minute drive from the house or about a 20 minute walk… which made things super convenient. The host was also very quick to reply with this information when I asked about pickup points for the kayaks. It was also our first time taking our 7 month old son on a trip, this property made it a perfect first trip for all of us. > **Response from ROAM:** HI Stephany, thank you for staying and the private feedback! Don't worry about the bedding, that's just helpful and we're not the type of hosts who get stuck on little details! We are just gad you loved staying with us and we hope you'll be back soon! ## Janelle H. — Sparta, Michigan — September 2023 — 5★ Stunning river views! My husband and two kids ages 3 & 6 booked a last minute end of summer adventure and we got everything we needed out of our stay. Bonus we got to bring our dog! A relaxing place with enough to keep the kids busy for a couple days. The home was on a quiet road. We loved the little dock overlooking the river. Our kids loved kayaking, fishing, driving RC cars and riding their electric bikes up and down the dirt road. The host was very responsive and helped us find where to park for our kayak trip. The only downside was there wasn't a safe way to enter the river for my young kids. The rocks were slippery for the kids and dog. However we took them to a little boat launch around the corner (less than a mile) that was perfect for them to explore in. They loved having their own space in the loft and the secret lookout room. Only complaint is the stairs to the loft are pretty steep, not recommended for toddlers or elderly. My toddler fell a few times! Overall, glad we came. ## Megan C. — Grass Lake, Michigan — September 2023 — 5★ We had a relaxing, enjoyable stay here. We brought our two dogs and they also seemed to have a great time. Our younger dog was able to get in the river for some swimming, which is his favorite thing to do. Our older dog really enjoyed laying on the dock above the water. We saw some eagles fishing which was cool to see as well. We had some really great breakfast take out at Lamplighter Cafe in Evart. KC’s party store in Evart was the closest place nearby that had firewood available and they had a number of other convenient items. We would stay here again in the future. > **Response from ROAM:** Thank you Megan! ## Jessika H. — White Lake, Michigan — August 2023 — 5★ Had a lovely stay, just gorgeous over the river. Didn’t get to kayak or tube but want to next time! Beautiful property and great views. ## Stacy P. — August 2023 — 5★ It was so beautiful and peaceful. It was everything we were looking for and then some! ## John S. — Warren, Michigan — August 2023 — 5★ It was perfect for our family getaway. Clean beautiful river for the family to fish in. The home had everything we needed and plenty of room for the family ( family of 6 ) to gather around at the end of the night to play games. > **Response from ROAM:** Hi John, We appreciate your stay! I'm glad you loved the river access and room to reconnect with the family! Welcome back soon! ## Bailey K. — Germantown, Wisconsin — July 2023 — 5★ Overall, this property was great. It was very peaceful, but nice knowing there were neighbors and other people around. There’s a little town (Evart) about 15 mins away with bars & restaurants. We loved that the host provided tubes and kayaks. The pictures looked like the real thing. Only complaint would be the wifi was not the best , so it was hard for the group to sit around and watch a movie because it would buffer every few minutes. And also, the beds were not the comfiest, but we made it work. > **Response from ROAM:** Hi Bailey, Thanks so much for staying with us. We love the area, it's secluded, while also having everything you need nearby. Rural internet is one of the biggest challenges. There's no "cable" supplier, so everything is either satellite or cellular based. Neither are great options. ## Lorrie M. — Port Huron, Michigan — July 2023 — 5★ Lovely cabin along river. beautiful quiet woodlands, though others not too far away.. Cozy, clean, comfortable cabin. Exactly what we were looking for.. peaceful, relaxing, re-charging sort of place.. Thank you.. look forward to staying again.. ## Melissa G. — Ortonville, Michigan — July 2023 — 5★ Had a wonderful and relaxing stay in this charming house on the river! Very quiet and peaceful! Would stay here again! ## Judith E. — Chicago Ridge, Illinois — July 2023 — 5★ Beautiful cabin, great location. The view to the river was breathtaking every morning (and all the time). Weather was a bit chilly but that’s nature. Still great place, super comfy sofa. Cabin looks small from the outside but definitely big enough for 10 guests. Good for a weekend of relaxation with friends. Would definitely look forward to book it again to enjoy a different season of the year. The hostess was friendly and was ready to answer any questions. Communication was great 😊. ## Aaron R. — Evansville, Indiana — June 2023 — 5★ Quick to reply, clear instructions > **Response from ROAM:** Thank you for staying! ## Matt P. — New York, New York — June 2023 — 5★ Our weekend trip was wonderful. The property and river was beautiful and relaxing. Robert was a great commutator and helped facilitate there being enough tubes and kayaks for 7 people. However, the photo with 8 kayaks was misleading because we were charged an additional fee to move enough kayaks to the property. > **Response from ROAM:** Hi Matt, I'm glad you had a great experience! I'm sorry that the photo was misleading, I can see why you thought that. In our description, we mention that we provide 4 kayaks. Sometimes there are more, other times there are less, but we always guarantee 4. Because we own other properties, we are able to move unused kayaks from one unit, to another, to help our guests. We don't move the kayaks back unless they are needed at another location. We do charge for the additional labor of our staff if we have to move extra kayaks from one location to another, but we try to maintain a very reasonable cost for this. ## Kimberly P. — Sanford, Michigan — June 2023 — 5★ Wanted to get away for the night and listen to the river run. My husband and dog Hank enjoyed a dip in the river. Was a very peaceful evening and the bugs were not too bad. The place is perfectly set up for a little getaway > **Response from ROAM:** Hi Kim, Bring Hank back soon. He's a good boy and deserves another river dip! Robert ## Andrea M. — Waukegan, Illinois — June 2023 — 5★ My partner and I had a great time, we would definitely come back and recommend this home to friends and family. It is a great place to stay especially if you want somewhere quiet. Host is very friendly, flexible with check in/out, and responds quickly! > **Response from ROAM:** Thank you Andrea! See you again soon! ## Yvonne T. — Fort Wayne, Indiana — June 2023 — 5★ We had a great time here. The A-frame is gorgeous and so is the area. The host was responsive to every question we had and provided us with lots of amenities. Looking forward to spending time here again! > **Response from ROAM:** Thank you, Yvonne! ## Neil E. — Muskegon, Michigan — June 2023 — 5★ The host was super responsive and helpful. Great communication and would stay here again. > **Response from ROAM:** Thank you, Neil! Welcome back anytime! ## Ramy E. — June 2023 — 5★ Great stay! Clean and organized place, has all you need, and a very responsive host. Totally recommended! > **Response from ROAM:** Thank you Ramy! ## Tasha H. — Wyoming, Michigan — June 2023 — 5★ Cute place! Thanks! > **Response from ROAM:** Thank you for staying and we're so glad you had a great time! ## David R. — Merrillville, Indiana — May 2023 — 5★ This was a great stay, the home was very clean and cozy. Felt like we were right at home. Our host was awesome and very helpful and responded very fast with anything we needed. We will definitely book again next time we come out to Michigan! > **Response from ROAM:** Thank you David! ## nevzeta v — Macomb, Michigan — May 2023 — 4★ The house was super cute but needs some updating. The location is amazing! BBQ grill is old, Furniture needs some updating and we did not get Wifi info ( emailed the owner twice with no response). Outdoor is beautiful right on the river. Outdoor would be even better of they had a table. We went to a store and bought one for ourself. --- - Site index (for AI): https://roamstays.com/llms.txt _A machine-readable copy of this reviews page.
