Perched on the edge of the high bank of the river and with 350 feet of frontage, you will feel a part of nature the second you arrive in this classic northern log cottage.
Paddle kayaks, float away on tubes, watch eagles fish, or cast your own line in the water from the deck or shoreline. At night, retreat to the patio, gaze at the stars or spend nights by the fire, indoor or out.. This home has very few neighbors for privacy and peace of mind.
Start making “up north” memories today!
The space
Timber Bend Retreat sits on 5 acres of land and is truly a unique and special property. Every surface of the home has been updated with tongue and groove paneling, expansive windows overlooks the river below, and refinished flooring blend perfectly with the repurposed vintage cabinets and appliances.
A beautiful deck provides an elevated view of the river, and is a perfect spot for grilling or lounging. Exiting the porch is a passage way down the stairs to the river, revealing a hidden gem of a floating deck for dining or drinks.
Timber Haven Retreat is a true classic northern Michigan log home with tongue and groove paneling, exposed woodwork, cathedral ceilings, a stone fireplace, and high windows to let in natural light.
Perfectly designed for year-round, all-season use, whether you find yourself roasting marshmallows by the fire, gazing at the stars, listening to the birds chirp, watching the fish jump or curled up inside watching the snow fall on a winter wonderland.

Other things to note
★EVENTS & USAGE★
We get frequent requests from guests to use our homes for weddings, family reunions, bachelor / bachelorette parties, camping, or other large gatherings. Many of these types of events are high-impact and can affect future guest stays, so we carefully manage them.
If this is something you are looking for, please reach out to us prior to booking. Deposits, event fees, and other conditions may be required based on the event type, size and request. Should a booking be made prior to a mutual agreement on any additional requirements for the event, our standard cancelation policy will apply.
In the event your preferred dates are already taken, or you are traveling with a larger group, please view our other listings or reach out to us as we provide numerous rental options in the region.
★ADDITIONAL SERVICES★
For an additional fee, we can provide concierge tailored services for anniversaries, birthdays, holidays or weddings.
🔨 A handyman is available for minor to moderate repairs, 24/7/365.
🔧 Professional services are available for major repairs, 24/7/365.
🧹 Cleaning services can be performed mid stay for guests who want a hotel experience for an additional cost.
★PET-FRIENDLY HOME★
We are a dog (only) friendly home, but maintain a few rules and regulations regarding this. All dogs must be controlled either through a physical leash or with verbal commands so that the dog returns to the owner when necessary. Dogs and owners should both respect the boundaries of the properties and the neighbors use and enjoyment of their own. Guests should ensure that there is no pet waste left in the yards, and all waste is bagged up and removed. Do not leave any animals in the home unattended or uncrated under any circumstance. The home is limited to two dogs, and there may be a fee for these dogs. Guests should thoroughly clean up any shedding or excess fur which may be left in the home so that our cleaning team has a normal turnover without excess or unscheduled work. While we do make every effort to ensure a perfectly clean home, small amounts of fur may be present in the air, settle on the floors or surfaces or may not have been reachable under furniture... an expected, but unfortunate byproduct of being pet friendly.
★NO SMOKING INSIDE★
All of our homes are exclusively no-smoking, of any kind, inside the home. Cigarettes and marijuana are incredibly potent smells for non-users and can have a negative impact on future guests. Evidence of a guest smoking in the house, including the attestment of our cleaning team, will result in a cleaning fee of up to $500.00 to change furnace filters, ozone remediate the air, clean duct work, and clean hard and soft surfaces.
★DISCLOSURES★
Our homes feature many amenities which might be seasonally available or would be considered outdoor recreational items. We make every effort to ensure that these items are available for use and in good condition, but mother nature and our previous guests also play a roll in our ability to do so. Items like outdoor furniture, grills, kayaks, canoes, yard games, fire pits and patios are cared for by our team but are stored outside in the elements. There may be leaves, dirt or debris on these outdoor items, and some may have limited use depending on the season and weather patterns. Other items may have experienced use or abuse by previous guests and were not reported as damaged or broken to us, limiting our ability to repair or replace them. As with all short term rentals, our homes can experience wear and tear at an accelerated rate due to heavy use from our guests. We strive to keep our homes fresh and schedule repairs and maintenance as quickly as we can. You may experience new items at our homes that replaced items from our photos which may have been worn or damaged.
The home is located in a natural setting. Guests may encounter native flora and fauna commonly found in the area, including but not limited to mosquitoes, ticks, spiders, bees, wasps, ants, poison ivy, poison oak, raccoons, squirrels, deer, snakes, birds, and other wildlife. While the property is regularly maintained, the presence of plants, insects, and animals cannot be completely prevented. Guests are responsible for taking reasonable precautions when enjoying outdoor areas, including using insect repellent, wearing appropriate footwear, supervising children and pets, and avoiding contact with unfamiliar plants or wildlife. By booking this home, guests acknowledge and accept the inherent risks associated with staying in a natural environment.
Exterior maintenance services, including but not limited to lawn care, landscaping, pest control, snow removal, and trash services are essential to maintaining the quality and function of the home and surrounding land. Many of these services are scheduled on a weekly or monthly basis and may require the service provider to alter their planned date and time to work within past, current, or future weather conditions. As such, services may be performed during a guests’ stay.
Guest access
Our guests have full access and use of the entire home and surrounding land. If you are unsure where the property lines end, please ask and we can assist! The privacy and safety of our guests and neighbors is very important to us.
Access is provided through a remote digital keypad, controlled through our Ring security system. Parking is convenient and close to the home, we only ask that guests do not park or drive on the lawn.
As a remotely located, rural home we manage travel times between our properties for turnovers between guests based on expected arrival times and the most efficient routes. Often, we can accommodate an earlier check in, just ask us in the days before your reservation and we will do our best to help!

We had a great stay at the cabin! It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a fantastic weekend. Thanks for a great trip!
Positives: outstanding location for those that like to go far away from the hustle and bustle and get lost in the trees. The layout of the home is perfect for a group setting. I would book this place again for a week long trip if I could. Negatives: It seemed like we got short changed on a couple things. The boat is in disarray - was not clean or organized, the door was open when we showed up and the campfire/outdoor area looked like the last person just left. Also the picture shows a gas grill but we got a charcoal stand. Minor complaints but when I pay a lot of money for a stay, hotel or Airbnb, I’m expecting to inherit what I see in the pictures. Result: 4/5
This Airbnb was very nice just as described. The river was nice having right off of the back patio. The beds were very comfortable. That has been kind of a rough one when it comes to Airbnb accommodations for me overall this was a very nice day definitely worth the money and it was very convenient. I would definitely be interested in returning outside of a work trip and bringing the family very well laid out very tasteful decorating and beautiful kitchen.
My family enjoyed the cabin and river which was very peaceful and relaxing.
Great place. Very nice. Clean, quiet, perfect for a family vacation.
The stay was enjoyable with the woods by the river. Nice fire pit seating area. Great location for the woodsy types.

Great place. Very nice. Clean, quiet, perfect for a family vacation.
The stay was enjoyable with the woods by the river. Nice fire pit seating area. Great location for the woodsy types.
We enjoyed our stay by the river. The host was responsive, thorough, and courteous. We would go again.
The house is nice, beds were comfy. We enjoyed sitting down by the river during the day and having a fire at night. We kayaked upstream and then just floated back to the house a couple times. The host was quick to respond to my questions. The area is very peaceful. We would stay here again.
Perfect getaway tucked in the woods! The hot tub was a great touch, and the cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
very nice place, we had a great time!
We enjoyed are stay very much. The host was very responsive with any questions I had. Very peaceful and really enjoyed the fire at night. Thank you for being a great host. I gave a recommendation for my parents to stay there next time they go up north.
We had an amazing time at the cabin. The interior was beautiful and the furniture matched the description. The home was cozy and inviting. They had lots of games to entertain us and my kids enjoyed it thoroughly. The provided kitchen utensils and this made cooking pretty easy. We enjoyed the grill and the fire pit. Lots of outdoor activities to do. I would recommend the cabin for adventure or just merely staying in.
Host was super friendly and responsive, always answered questions and was willing to accommodate our needs. Had a great time hanging out with my friends here. Lots of areas to hang out together whether its the Hot tub on the back patio, the fire pit or fishing off of the pontoon. Plenty of table space inside for meals and group activities. Overall, great place to stay.
Great cabin. Very kind host and let us have a late check out since we were only staying one night. Very comfortable and quiet. It is out of the way, so if you stay, plan meals because driving back in to the town of Evart is about 20 min. one way. We did bring some groceries so we were all set.
Beautiful cabin very pretty. The furniture was very comfortable, the hot tub was great. We had an issue with the oven and dishwasher but the host was very responsive and offered to send someone to fix it they are dog friendly, and we enjoyed the fire pit! I would recommend taking lots of mosquito spray! Overall it was a wonderful place to stay.
My husband loves the outdoors and nature, and we found this place as a last minute getaway for his birthday. First, the price is unbeatable. With how beautiful and secluded the property is, as well as how many amenities this property offers, I couldn't believe how inexpensive this stay was. There's so much to do, from kayaking to nostalgic board games to time in the hot tub, we experienced the perfect relaxing getaway without ever getting bored. I would 100% recommend this place to others, and would love to stay here again!
Cozy, private experience nice to sit on the back deck by the river with a cup of coffee.
Absolutely loved our stay here! Beautiful log home right on the river, surrounded by trees and nature. Definitely recommend and would stay again!
wonderful property and location with lots of amenities!
Extremely peaceful and amazing hot tub
the property was beautiful and the cabin was amazing. Any questions I had they where always quick to respond and where always extremely friendly. I do plan to rebook sometime in the future.
We had a great time, the place was beautiful! Robert was very responsive. We will definitely return when we can use the kayaks.
Liked the river view and resident wildlife
It was really nice and relaxing.
Fantastic little cabin in a beautiful location! Booked last minute for a funeral in the area and was very pleased with how nice and easy our stay was. Thank you so much!
Great weekend getaway with family!!! Loved the big kitchen table for games!!! Enjoyed the hot tub!!!
AMAZING customer service! Great view, easy check in. The entire trip was perfect and toddler approved!!
Great place to stay with my family for a quick weekend trip. Communication from booking until departure was top-notch. The hot tub was a bonus on the cold winter nights.
AMAZING Customer service, perfect views, and a cozy place to get away! Toddler approved... We will definitely be back again!
We had a wonderful stay and could not have asked for a better experience. The host was incredibly accommodating and made everything easy and comfortable for us. The view of the river was beautiful and the hot tub and fireplace make it feel especially cozy and relaxing. The kitchen was fully stocked with any cooking utensil needed, and the beds were very comfortable with truly luxurious pillows. Every detail contributed to making our short celebration feel special and memorable. We loved every second of our stay and are already looking forward to booking again.
My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our stay here the cabin was beautiful and the host were very responsive to our questions and it made our stay go very fun and enjoyable
The cabin was beautiful, the host was responsive and was a perfect winter weekend getaway! Great selection of games, the cabin was well maintained and had everything you needed for a peaceful retreat. Will be back for a future trip.
Nice winter get away! Host was very responsive, cabin was clean and had all the basic amenities you could need for a long weekend. Overall great cabin!
This was the most perfect cabin for a winter weekend getaway! Everything was cozy, comfortable and in good working order. The hot tub overlooking the river on a snowy winter day, or on a clear night watching the stars, was amazing. Robert was super responsive and attentive to any needs we may have had. Highly recommend! We're already looking forward to bringing our whole family back next year!
The views are amazing. It was a beautiful quiet place. I am 53 so the very firm bed didn’t agree with my body at all but overall the place was great. Perfect for a lone getaway with my two little dogs in January.
The area was beautiful. Their directions were great. Snow removal was fast so we could get in and out. Perfect secluded winter getaway.
Great atmosphere and location, had a great stay and the host responded promptly when needed. The house was well maintained and we loved the hot tub!
This was a fantastic getaway! Privately located and surrounded by woods. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed for a few days of rest and relaxation by the fire. Robert answered our questions quickly and checked in to see that all was going well as there was a storm when we arrived. Highly recommend!
Absolutely incredible. Everything you’d want for a winter getaway.
Excellent stay as always. The dogs love it.
Great hosts, very helpful, and responsive. The property was beautiful, the home was clean and was described accurately. Would definitely recommend staying at this home.
Gorgeous surroundings. It was so peaceful and relaxing, perfect for a chill weekend reading in front of the fire. We'd love to also visit in the summer to take advantage of all the river amenities. The cabin was just as described, and the hosts went out of their way to give clear directions every step of the way. We will definitely be back.
We really enjoyed staying here! It was very peaceful and tucked away. We loved the hot tub and utilized it the whole time. The beds were comfortable and clean, the space had everything we needed. We would definitely come back again!!
This cabin was a great winter escape! Being just a few hours from home made it super convenient. The views overlooking the snowy Muskegon River were so peaceful and beautiful. We really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and cozying up by the fireplace. The snow removal service was a great bonus. Can't wait to experience it again in the summer with the whole family!
We had an amazing weekend stay. It exceeded all expectations and is truly even better in person than the photos. Super comfortable beds, great views, and such a relaxing atmosphere. Thanks again, Robert! We can’t wait to be back!
I wanted to get away with my favorite people for a few days for my birthday. This was a great choice. Everyone loved it and talked about going back in the future once we went back to reality. The cabin itself was beautiful inside, plenty of space and was a relaxing place to visit. The location was great being right next to the river. We spent our nights in the hot tub under the moon and stars, which really helped us relax more than we thought we needed. They had plenty of games to play to help you feel young at heart. I would recommend.
Thank you!
Beautiful private home sitting right above the river.. Very friendly and responsive host. We will stay again!!
Perfect spot to slip away from the city for a couple days! We had a great time!
Thank you!
Very cozy and comfy cabin. Very nice view of the river
Thank you, Tyler!
Very quiet cabin near the river.. It was very peaceful and the kitchen had just about everything we needed.. We enjoyed our stay!
Thank you, Adam!
The cabin is well appointed and the updates make it very comfortable. The view is lovely. Robert was extremely responsive and helpful as I had to change my reservation dates. It is a quiet, private retreat nestled in the woods with a great view of the Muskegon River. Highly recommend this property.
Thank you, Mollie!
Overall we had a great experience at this cabin. It was very cozy with the fireplace, it gave a real cabin feel. Last minute I decided to bring my dog, and the host was very accepting. The Nintendo does not have the right adaptor for the TV, so we were unable to use it. We stayed inside for the most part due to the weather, so we didn’t end up using the hot tub or any outside activities. It was very cozy, welcoming and clean. We would go back to another of the properties again in the future.
Hi Linsday! We do have all the right parts for the nintendo, unfortunately people unplug them, but we're happy to help anyone get it straightened out! It works fine! Glad you enjoyed yourself and come back soon!
Great place, beautiful inside and out! Definitely be back!
Thank you! :-)
Robert was quick to reply to any questions we had. Beautiful place to visit! Will definitely be back!
Thank you! :-)
We had an amazing stay at this cozy cabin! The location on the river is unbeatable, offering the perfect combination of tranquility and stunning views. The cabin itself was clean, super cute, and very comfortable everything we needed for a relaxing escape. The hot tub was definitely a highlight, especially in the evening when you could unwind while listening to the sounds of the river. The overall vibe was warm and inviting, making it feel like a true home away from home. We also really appreciated that the cabin was dog friendly. It made the trip even better to be able to bring our pups along and enjoy the outdoors together.
Thank you! :-)
So quiet. Right on the river. Dog and I loved it.
Always a pleasure, Dion. Does this make a dozen stays with us?
Me and my boyfriend had a wonderful time! The views from the house were beautiful! We loved how you can just walk right down the stairs to the river. The hot tub was also super nice!
Thank you!
This cabin is absolutely beautiful. The house was very clean and well stocked and had all the pots and pans I needed to make a great meal. Beds are very comfortable and I appreciated the cotton sheets. Robert is great to work with and will settle any issues that you may have. Great fireplace in the cabin, though it did get very smoky in the house.
Thank you!
We had the perfect peaceful weekend away. The cabin is beautiful with all the amenities we needed. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you!
I wish I could have stayed longer! I was looking for solitude and I definitely found it.

Thank you!
We Loved our stay at this property! This home was peaceful, relaxing, and perfectly appointed. My husband enjoyed fishing from the pontoon while I relaxed and read a book. The river was beautiful and peaceful. Absolutely loved the pontoon as a deck. We had morning coffee and evening cocktails down there while enjoying the view. The kitchen had everything you needed to make meals and is a great layout. The bed was comfy and we appreciated all the closet and drawer space so we didn’t have to live out of a suitcase for the week. Robert was unbelievably helpful with a couple of questions I had and super quick to respond. We were impressed and while still there discussed future stays at this property as well as checking out some of the other properties they have. Can’t say enough good things honestly!
It was absolutely beautiful and serene, simple and very comfortable. The hot tub was amazing and hot. The sky was loaded with stars. We had a bonfire. The two decks were beautiful right on the river kayaking was amazing that they also provided the kayaks.!!
Great stay. So easy to kayak up and down the river. Water nearby is shallow and easy to enjoy. Very peaceful setting. Dark at night with lots of stars. Hot tub works super well and is very relaxing. Would definitely return.
We can’t wait to come back for a longer stay! Everything was perfect - beautiful cabin and peaceful location. We enjoyed the hot tub and kayaking/tubing in the calm, gorgeous river. The house was clean, tons of towels and kitchen supplies were very useful. Amazing stay in the forests of Michigan! My only regret is not having booked a longer stay.
Beautiful cabin. Location was amazing, view of the river was incredible and the pontoon deck was a huge hit. Will definitely be back. Very peaceful.
Perfect location for privacy and serenity. Everything described was spot-on. Would recommend to everyone!
Absolutely stunning!! If you want peace and relaxation this is the place to stay. The house by itself is beautiful, but the surrounding woods and sounds also make it one of the best places I've ever been. Host were very responsive and left detailed directions for us to make our visit easy. I can't wait to go back again!!
A very peaceful place with plenty of amenities to create your vacation escape. Robert is a friendly host who communicates effectively to make your stay happy and memorable.
A very quiet and peaceful spot with beautiful views of the Muskegon River. The wooded area provided lots of shade so it stayed cool even though it was over 90 degrees one of the days were were there. A perfect place to unplug and just relax. Robert was very responsive and helpful with answers to any question we had.
Beautiful place, highly recommend.
My family had a fantastic time! Very beautiful scenery down by the river. We used the kayaks and swam in the river. Also, watched eagles fly around during the day and watched the stars at night, all from tge rivers edge. Great experience!
Relaxing, quiet. We needed a few days to decompress and this was a wonderful place in which to do that. Excellent host, answered all questions promptly.
A+ property. Family loved it. Would definitely stay again.
Great stay! Perfect for groups - lots of activities!
Absolutely a great spot to stay for a few days!! Best get away I’ve had in forever, such an amazing cabin and a sick river!!
Rented a cabin for the 4th of July. My family had an amazing time. we had so much time to relax, enjoy the kayaks and tubs on the river, went fishing, had many fires. The cabin and property had everything we needed for the perfect family getaway.
Me and my family stayed and had a great awesome weekend made beautiful memories
Quiet and peaceful. Neighboring homes are visible from the cabin but still very quiet and peaceful. A beautiful place to watch the river flow by.
Exactly what we needed - a restful getaway. Thanks to Robert for all the swift and clear communication.
Incredible place to stay, very peaceful and quite. The only problem with that place are the mosqitos and thats a Michigan problem in general so get ready to get bit! A very memorable experience!!
A great stay!
Was just what we needed.. hot tub was hot, everything was clean. Would recommend for sure.
This is a great place to spend a peaceful weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here!
This is a beautiful property. We enjoyed the view of the river from the deck and hot tub. The cabin itself was very comfortable.
We are old and the cabin is on the high bank. The ladder is secure leading down to the fishing raft but it scares me because my legs are weak
Hello Theresa! We're sorry you weren't able to enjoy the river from the dock below. Yes, the home is on the high bank side of the river and there are a couple of dozen stairs to reach the fishing dock. Thankfully there's an exceptional view from the deck above!
Great time! The river and Property where beautiful.
We enjoyed our weekend getaway. House was just as described and had everything we needed for a quiet and relaxing weekend. We would definitely go back!
The kids and I had a great time and will definitely be back for a visit!
Thank you, Amanda!
Beautiful location in the woods, home is nice with big windows, and hot tub looking out over a river! Highly recommend.
Thank you, Linnea! We're glad you loved it!
Cozy, inviting cabin with a fantastic view over the river and the woods beyond, with no cabins across the river. Very clean, and fantastic communication -- I'd give them 6 stars on communication if I could. We had a minor hiccup with the coffeemaker, and within a half-hour of contacting them, the problem was more than resolved. Comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen. Outdoor firepit AND indoor fireplace, which was great when it got cold and windy our second day.
Thank you, Sheila! While we certainly can't control when things break or fail, we can control how we handle them!
Wanted to get out of town and enjoy some peace and quiet and this cabin was absolutely perfect. Could not have asked for a better stay, the scenery is gorgeous and everything was extremely clean and we felt very comfortable. Host was very responsive, friendly, and attentive. I am already looking forward to booking my trip back during the summer months! Thank you again for a fabulous stay.
Thank you, Haley!
Great place! Views of the river were amazing! The house was great with very clear instructions. The host was super responsive. We loved our peaceful stay and hope to come back in a couple of months! This was truly an amazing place to stay at!
Cesar, thank you again for your repeat patronage! We appreciate you and we're glad you have stayed with us repeatedly!
Peaceful cabin in the woods! Beautiful scenery and the hot tub over looks the river!! We had a lovely stay!
Thank you, Vanessa!
It’s always great to find a spot that is dog friendly! And has a hot tub. And sits on a river. This location checked all the boxes and the house was clean and well appointed with all the necessary things you’d need on a weekend away. We would love to come back in the summer when the boat is on the river!
went up with my father for a few days, great stay for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub was nice. Beautiful smell to the home and it was very clean. would come again.
Thank you, Zander!
If your looking for a remote and quite stay this place is great. My family stayed during winter and it was beautiful! Just be aware of the snowy streets and drive carefully. The hosts were wonderful and very helpful, and the home was clean. Perfect little getaway
Thank you, Gina!
This place is just as pictured. By fault of us we did pass up by GPS ping but after looking for place for a minute we called Robert. He picked right up and was awesome In guiding us back to the cabin which was really right behind us. Opps. I couldn’t have asked for a more responsive n kind individual. Beautiful clean cabin. Beds very comfy!! Everything you need in the kitchen. Bathroom nicely done. Plenty of comfy blankets around! The place was warm n cozy n didn’t even light a fire(as to my husband’s sometimes laziness )😊 beautiful view from kitchen/living room area. We were there in winter (50 degrees in Feb) but I can imagine it being so beautiful once spring n summer roll around. To me “What a bang for the buck” very reasonable in my book. Thank you again for opening this beautiful home to all ❤️❤️
Thank you, Christine!
This cabin was gorgeous, cozy, and the perfect place to take a winter vacation! We absolutely loved our stay with Forest and Flow!
Thank you, Hannah!
It was cozy and comfortable. A home away from home. We will definitely be back!
Thank you!
This is our second stay and it didn’t disappoint. Great spot for a relaxing getaway 😊.
Thank you!
What a beautiful and peaceful stay. The place was clean and tidy, and the host was very communicative. Would book again.
Thank you!
Had an enjoyable weekend. It snowed a little every morning, which was peaceful to watch from the comfort of the living room. Would definitely stay again, maybe in the summer to enjoy some of the outdoor amenities.
Thank you!
The cabin was beautiful it had everything we could need and it was amazingly clean. We will be booking this place again 👍😊
Thank you!
I love my stay it was so beautiful in a vibe I will be coming back !
Thank you!
We enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It is extremely beautiful and very secluded for a nice getaway. It is gorgeous inside but still keeps the authentic rustic cabin vibe. Definitely a great price for this location.
Thanks again, Madelyn!
Great up north cabin on the river! Very relaxing and clean.
Thank you Jake!
Wonderful property for up 3 couples or a family with kids. Charming, rustic and well equipped. Internet is fast, while time passes slowly like it should. The river nearby makes it extra special. Clean and it had everything needed for a weekend of relax. Likely to be back.
My husband and I stayed over Christmas with our dog. Our visit was wonderful. The property is beautiful and private. The house was clean and included everything we needed. We loved the wood burning fireplace. We highly recommend this listing if you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway.
Thank you, Crissi!
nice quiet stay on the river. only wish we had more time to enjoy the views
Thank you, Andrew!
I had the best time here. Didn’t leave the Airbnb at all (which was exactly what i planned for a little solo getaway). The place looked just like the photos (which surprisingly isn’t always the case with Airbnbs). Being on the river and so secluded was perfect and relaxing. The host was extremely responsive and helpful during my trip! Would stay again!
Thank you! We try to update our photos very frequently so as we change things out, the new photos match! Glad you enjoyed yourself!
My sister and I went here for a night get away from our town and it is an absolutely beautiful spot. The host was very nice and responsive and it was overall a very good time. Definitely worth it to visit!
Thank you, Kaylee!
We had a lovely wintery getaway at this cabin! The fireplace was great and we loved the open layout with lots of areas to spend time (couches, table, kitchen). Bedrooms were cozy and comfortable. Very quiet around there and perfect for our reading retreat away from the city.
Thank you!
This place is perfect for a short getaway. It has everything you need to unwind for a few days. it has an off grid feel while still having internet and electricity. Everything was exactly as described and I would definitely stay here again.
Thank you for staying with us, we really appreciate it!
Robert was friendly and clear with instructions to check in. Place was exactly as described. We had a great and peaceful stay.
Thank you, Sandra!
Private, beautiful setting on the river. Felt secluded, neighbors are far apart.. living room was very comfortable seating nice fireplace. Beds were comfortable. Stayed here with our two adult children, and everybody had a relaxing time. Along with two small dogs.
Thank you Steve!
The most dreamy cabin retreat on the Muskegon River! The river was so clean and beautiful. And the home was SO cozy. The home is very well stocked for your needs. We definitely would stay here again! Such an amazing fall weekend we had!
Thank you so much for staying with us! It's really such a great spot, isn't it? Robert
it was a really nice place and real nice and peaceful
Thank you for staying with us Wayne! We're glad you loved the home!
The property was beautiful. The cabin was well-appointed. Furniture was comfortable. Kitchen was really nice. Open floor plan was perfect.
Thank you, Deb!
Amazing!
Thank you, Oscar! Robert
I am still in awe of how wonderful a time I had at this cabin! It’s “glamping” with emphasis on the “glamour.” You can spend your days making endless fires, inside or outside, lose yourself in the sounds of the gentle river cruising by, or go for a jog through the surrounding area. I guarantee that you’ll be so happy you’ve chosen to stay here. I love this cabin and experience with my whole heart! I for sure will be booking again in the future, as will anyone who gets the opportunity to drink tea on the back porch and enjoy the peace.
Thank you, Ivanna! We're glad you had a great time! This area of the Muskegon River and natural surroundings is such a beautiful, unspoiled area!
awesome cabin. it was just the two of us, but i'd imagine it'd be really fun with 4 people. really nice kitchen with a huge island. right next to the river. comfortable bed. we may go back in the wintertime and bring more friends to play cards and sit around the fireplace.
Winter is a great time to visit! Summer is always so busy in Michigan, trying to pack everything you can into those short warm months. Winter gives us a great time to slow down and reconnect with family and friends! We hope to have you back this winter! Robert
Not many places on here match what you see in pictures but this place was everything as advertised. If you’re looking for a great get away spot, look no further.
Thank you, Marcus!
Beautiful home on the Muskegon River. It was perfect for a peaceful getaway. We enjoyed the fire pit and when it rained we still loved being able to see the river through the large wall of windows! The host was fantastic, quick to respond and very helpful!
Thank you, Sonya! Those windows are the best, aren't they?
Very nice and peaceful location for a great weekend getaway.
Hi Gary, Thank you so much for staying with us! We're glad you loved the location! Robert
We had a wonderful time enjoying nature from our perch above the river. The cabin was well-appointed with everything we needed. It felt cozy, but big enough for the four of us to spread out. We loved the remote location, but we took the short drive to Cadillac for dinner one night. The kayaks were a great way to fully enjoy the river; we were surprised how easy it was to paddle upstream around a few bends before lazily floating back.
Thank you, Travis!
Great place to stay!
Thank you for staying, Ryan!
Short stay for us but we’ll be back for an extended stay next time
Thank you, Bernard! Come back soon!
We had a great time at this cabin with our 2 dogs! Very peaceful location in the woods next to the river. There was ample space for the dogs to run around and play. The cabin was awesome! We just loved everything about it: the log cabin feel, the openness of the living room & kitchen, the interior decorations, etc. It was just awesome and really worth it for a weekend getaway. I highly recommend staying at this cabin and specifically with Forest and Flow! This is our 3rd year staying at one of their rentals and they never disappoint. :)
Thank you for staying with us multiple years in a row! We're glad to be your destination!
Beautiful place! Host was always very responsive and flexible. Great place for a family getaway!
Thank you for staying! We agree that this is such a fantastic place to reconnect with family and slow time down!
We got to see a bobcat, pretty exciting for me!
There's some amazing wildlife all over the area!
Great home for the weekend! It was a very peaceful and quiet place for a nice relaxing weekend.
Thank you Khoa!
Great place to spend Fourth of July! Family had a great time. Thank you for sharing your home
Thank you, Robert!
Our group of 7 had a great time at Forest and Flow’s cabin. It was secluded, peaceful, and stocked with everything we needed. The host was responsive and the directions were very clear. I would recommend to anyone looking to disconnect and relax in the woods/float on the river.
Thank you Chris!
Beautiful cabin and surroundings. Very clean and comfortable. Thank you for the great experience.
Thank you for staying with us and we're glad you had a great family experience!
Perfect cabin/cottage in the woods overlooking the Muskegon River. While we stayed only one night, would have loved to had more time to do some kayaking! Highly recommended!!
Beautiful place to get away with surreal scenery and tons of amenities ready to go.
Thank you, Eric!
Great place to relax, wish they had they pontoon setup but it was still a good trip.
Thank you, Antonio! Yes, we're also a little disappointed about the pontoon as well. We're working to come up with a solution that we can launch it without needing to go up the river on a 1.5 hour journey. It's challenging because we have to wait for water levels to be at the right height, and then coordinate it with guests and staff. Normally we'd launch in the spring, but the lack of snow this year kept the river very shallow in some spots.
Very accommodating and paid close attention to detail as I was staying for my dad’s funeral. Showed concern for me and my family and always answered any questions I had in an immediate response time. Very beautiful home. Open concept and just felt very comfortable and relaxing. Beautiful view.
Hi Amy, I'm sorry for your loss, it's a terrible reason to need to "return home". We hope you were able to relax and find some quality family time in our property and in some small way it was able to ease your grief.
My little family and I stayed here this past week and it was perfect! We will definitely be back.
Thank you for staying with us, and already booking your second trip to one of our other homes!
The hosts were amazing! We booked very last minute at 8:30 pm. They responded right away to give us lots of helpful info for arriving in the night and was quick with helping and answering questions. The house was amazing and the views stunning. Location was a bit a ways from things like good food or shopping. But that's what we needed for a more unplugged get away. Especially since the home had amenities available to us right where we were. The river out back was great to have access too as well. Loved that board games were available to play like sequence. One of our favorites. Just wished the Nintendo System as pictured was there as we were looking forward to that. The home had plenty of space and bed was comfortable. We would definitely look into booking again if we go back to that area. And would highly recommend the place to our friends and family if they are looking to book a vacation.
Thank you, Brandy!
Absolutely gorgeous place! Cabin was clean , very beautiful, beds were comfortable. Location was so pretty, tucked back in the woods on the river. Ideal place for a quiet getaway!
Thank you Kalysta!
Very cute cozy house at a nice location. Hosts were very friendly and helpful, this is a great place!
Sheena, always a pleasure!
This is a beautiful home, clean, comfortable and in excellent condition. It gives off cozy, true “cabin” vibe. Just what we were looking for.
Thank you Tom! That's exactly our goal as well, a well appointed "cabin" vibe, with extras!
Excellent accommodations, everything you would expect. Will be back.
This was the second Forest & Flow cabin we've stayed at and both exceeded our expectations. The cabin is absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views of the river. We had a wonderful weekend. During a cabin hunt of our own we stopped at kaleidoscope coffee in Lake and Stonehouse winery (I'd recommend both), were able to pick up a ton of roadside firewood on our way back, cooked steaks over the fire, and had a relaxing night under the stars. The hosts are quick to respond and very helpful. I highly recommend any of Forest & Flow's cabins.
Thank you, Amanda! We love our repeat guests!
Great location, comfortable and quiet
Thank you, Hilary!
Looking for some peace and quiet? Beautiful views? Rest and relaxation? This is the place for you!
Thank you, Mike!
What a great rental! We really enjoyed the spaciousness of the house and the property. There was everything we needed and more. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks
Thank you Artur! Can't wait to have you back!
I had an amazing time! It was quiet and peaceful and even saw the eclipse!
Thank you Brittney!
We had a great time here (even though the weather didn't cooperate). Cabin was wonderful, with great amenities and room for the family to spread out. Kitchen and bathroom were well equipped, and the laundry was a nice bonus. We didn't get a chance to use the outdoor fire pit, but the fireplace worked well. Also, despite the early season poor weather, we were able to enjoy the river via the lovely view, and the included kayak's.
Fantastic cabin in the woods right on the river. The kitchen was great for preparing meals, the windows over looking the river made for a serene view, the hosts were friendly and accomodating, and we had zero worries during our time. Would recommend!
Thank you Sharyl! We love the view as well! The high bank of the river at this point provides a really nice view of the lowlands across and fantastic wildlife watching.
Our stay was a very fun relaxing time. The home has everything you could ask for. The listing is very accurate about the property as well.
We felt at home while away from home!Very nice!
Hi Rhonda, Come back soon! The Forest & Flow Team
Great place! cute and cozy! the view of the river was amazing from the balcony, sliding door windows and the dock!
Thank you, Rosa!
This cabin is in a beautiful spot, and my husband and I felt right at home. We had everything we needed to cook for ourselves, and the cabin had all the comforts we could want. We visited in March, but I can imagine the river would be so much fun in the warmer months! If you are looking for a private get-away, this will fit the ticket. We could just barely see the neighboring cabins through the trees, but I bet by spring, when the leaves are on the trees, you won't be able to see them at all. And it was so peaceful! We would gladly go back another time.
Hi Joy, Thank you for staying with us. We do try to fully outfit our homes so that there's nothing you would need! You're right, a little bit of foliage and the neighboring home will just disappear. We look forward to hosting you again at this home, or another similar experience. Robert Forest and Flow Retreats
Beautiful home!
Hi Kim, You spend more time at our homes than we do! Thanks again for your continued patronage! Robert
This rental was the perfect place for a quiet relaxing vacation! It reminded me so much of being in Michigans upper peninsula without the drive!
Thank you Katy! This area of Central Michigan DEFININITELY gives U.P. vibes and saves you an few hours!
The remote setting on the river was very nice. We saw a bobcat and several deer in the woods across the river. Very nice amenities and the fireplace worked great! Highly recommended.
Thank you for staying with us! We appreciate it and we're glad you got to see some awesome wildlife!
Beautiful Relaxing setting. Very comfortable and cozy cabin. Wood fire place made it especially cozy. Great communication. saw many eagles and deer. We had a wonderful stay! Will be back !
Thank you Beth!
I stayed for 5 nights with my 2 dogs and even though I still had to work, it was amazing and relaxing, the dogs loved it, it really has a better view than the photos even show, honestly everything looks even better in person Another bonus was the wifi, for a more remote location wifi can be hit or miss, I streamed the whole time plus on my 2 phones wifi plus laptop and worked beautifully! As someone who often has to work remotely on a moments notice that is so key and hard to find in this kind of setting (I’ve been to a lot of cabins and really this one probably had the best wifi service)
That's our new Starlink WiFi. We're testing it out in this home to see if it's worth trying in others. So far it's been a positive for everyone!
Wonderful time. Thank you very much
Thank you Justin!
excellent!!
Thank you Sarah!
I have stayed at 3 different homes hosted by Forest and Flow. They are fantastic hosts with beautiful homes and have everything you need for a great stay!
Thanks for your continued patronage! We really appreciate repeat guests!
What a beautiful place to be in a blizzard! We loved relaxing on the comfortable couch watching the snow fall. I slept like a log on the firm mattress, perfection! Snow removal was done quicker than expected, and the gentleman driving the truck was friendly and helpful. I'm hoping to convince the other half to take me away for another weekend soon.
So glad you enjoyed yourself! We try to keep up with the properties year round, and I'm glad our team was there to keep you cleared out!
Beautiful beautiful place. We were up visiting family nearby. It was cold and dreary and rainy. But the indoor space of the cabin was perfect and we were very comfortable for the night and morning we were there. We’d love to come and stay a week in the summer sometime in the near future.
Thank you Corey!
Beautiful clean cabin in a wonderful setting. Just what our family was looking for.
Thank you Becky!
We had a wonderful experience at Forest and Flow’s cabin from arrival through departure! It was a warm and cozy winter experience! We can only imagine the fun it would be in warmer weather!! The host was extremely easy to communicate with and very helpful!
Thank you Stacy!
great place to stay!! very nice
Thank you!
This property is beautiful. I felt very comfortable there from the start. It was the perfect place for me to recharge and spend time with my family. I would love to come back during the warmer months to take full advantage of the outdoor space and enjoy the river. Thank you so much for providing such a welcoming home!!!
Thank you Marca!
Beautiful cabin on a private drive backing up to the Muskegon river. Private & serene with outdoor spaces to fully enjoy the property.
Thank you for staying with us! I'm glad you were able to enjoy the home and all of the outdoor recreational activities in the area!
Each morning I woke up and literally gasped at the view of the trees and river through the full wall of windows. Everything was fantastic.
Thank you Bret! We're glad you loved the scenery and home!
Property was amazing with all the amenities comforts of home we had an awesome time at Forest and Flows property on the river!! Highly recommend, and we look forward to seeing you again in the future..
Thank you for coming and we look forward to having you back! This home has all the seasons covered, from cozy fireplace evenings to hot summer nights!
We loved the windows overlooking the river and the extremely well stocked kitchen and also the fall colors. The cabin was cozy and comfortable. We cooked, we went canoeing, biked on dirt roads, sat by the fire. Our favorite adventure was through the "arts and crafts" trails up the road from the house.
Hi Mara, Thank you so much for the great trip! We're glad you enjoyed your trip!
Great spot to relax in the woods. The cabin looks great and has modern touches. The floating Dock with Kayaks is amazing and fun. The fire pit area is a sweet spot to look at stars. This spot is also pet friendly. Would definitely recommend this cabin, we had a great stay.
Thank you for staying with us!
Beautiful and peaceful place to stay. The river was really calm and fun to canoe! The interior of the cabin was beautiful, clean, and had all the amenities you'd need for a vacation.
Thank you Marissa!
Kind host. Great location. Quiet and peaceful. The river was very clean and water was clear. The water was also quite cold, so bring your suit-of-bravery. 🤣 There are no grocery stores nearby, only gas stations. So, try to bring all your needs. Otherwise, you will be sending your teenagers for cookie mix that will take an hour round trip! 😋😂
Hi Stephen, Yes, a bit of bravery can be helpful in the fall for the water temps! I do think you have the right idea about sending teenagers out, and I guess that's an advantage to having older children! haha!
This cabin is beautifully clean and modern without losing its cabin vibe. Gorgeous wood interior, spotless, well organized, stocked with everything you might need, and sitting in the middle of some beautiful woods overlooking the river. The 3 outdoor living/seating areas were each unique and lovely: the deck with a grill and plenty of seating just outside the kitchen separated by a wall of windows, the fire pit with seating and an opening through the trees to look at the stars, and down the (27-with a handrail) steps to the floating dock on the river, where you can use the two kayaks, or the canoe to paddle up river and float back down, or bring a meal or snacks down. We stayed mostly at the cabin because there is plenty to do: walk, paddle, swim, cook, have meals, fires (outdoor fire ring and indoor fireplace), play one of the many well stocked games. The 3 bedrooms, beds, linens, towels, and bathroom are clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this beautiful place.
Hi Jeff, Thank you for the feedback and information We got those light bulbs changed, I don't blame you at all for unscrewing them, i can't imaging the flashing LEDs being. I'd brag about the property some, but it looks like you already have! ;-)
Beautiful space, responsive hosts! I hope they will have me again as I want to make this a yearly thing! I wish I could’ve stayed longer. There was no TV nor WiFi which honestly makes sense! It does allow you to forest and flow! I didn’t bring work with me so it was luckily not needed. Overall great stay!
Thank you Charlene! (BTW, we added a TV and WiFi since your stay... feel free to unplug them both when you come back and tell your work you're unavailable! haha!)
We had a great stay. We left some firewood behind for the next group that stays here. There were 2 kayaks and 1 canoe and the river is absolutely gorgeous up or down. Also there is not a television at all, one of us got sick and it just would have been nice to watch something when by themselves. It was an amazing get away from the city. The property was beautiful and cozy.
