## The space

Timber Bluff Retreat sits high above the Muskegon River just north of Big Rapids near the quiet community of Paris, MI. Ideally positioned between Reed City and Big Rapids—and just over an hour from Grand Rapids—it combines easy access with the peaceful atmosphere of Michigan’s northern woods and water.

Inside, this cabin exudes rustic-luxury charm with western-inspired décor, cedar accents, rich tobacco colors, and open-concept spaces washed in natural light. River views pour through the wall-to-wall windows, connecting the interior to the bluff and the forests beyond. Thoughtfully crafted suites offer comfort and privacy for couples, families, and multigenerational groups.

Step outside to a massive timber-built deck, a romantic hot tub grotto, cozy fireplaces, and a park-style charcoal grill perfect for long afternoons outdoors. With provided kayaks, tubes, firewood, and a riverside landing for wading, fishing, or launching into the current, the cabin invites relaxation and adventure in equal measure.

## 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.

## The story

⭐️ 5 STAR HOSTS ⭐️

Forest & Flow Retreats focuses on unique homes and experiences so our guests can build memories for years to come. Over 15% of our bookings come from repeat guests, something we are very proud of. As you may have guessed from our name, we target natural properties with water or forest features that create a calm, peaceful and tranquil environment far removed from the hustle of day to day life.

We are avid outdoor enthusiasts and believe in protecting public lands through conservation efforts and the associated funds raised through hunting, fishing, and orv licenses.

We believe our homes and public lands should be a safe space for people from all walks of life, regardless of age, race, gender or ethnicity.

Each year, we donate a portion of our earnings to public land trusts and / or conservation efforts so that our waters and land can be protected for years to come.

We have hosted tens of thousands of guests over the years across our properties, helping family and friends have a memorable experience!

## Guest access

★**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!

## What guests say

**4.9 ★ · 63 reviews**

- ★★★★★ "One of the best vacations we had in a while. Beautiful scenery and so peaceful. We loved it so much we are thinking on coming back in the future." — Keegan K., Canton, Michigan, Airbnb, Sep 2026
- ★★★★★ "We enjoyed everything! It was a great spot for our multi generational family to hang out in the cabin, and on the large deck. The walk down to the firepit and river was doable for my 82 year old mom, but we thought could be updated to be safer for elderly. Clean, and well stocked with linens and towels. The slider was broken so my husband fixed it. Also had a towel bar off the wall, so he fixed that. Other than that, all worked. Great layout. Many spaces to sleep, hang out and the bathrooms were well designed for extra people using them. Our adult kids LOVED it! Thank you for a great family sp…" — Jennifer S., Kentwood, Michigan, Airbnb, Sep 2026
- ★★★★★ "Very beautiful place along the river, they have many amenities on site to tube, kayak & fish. Along with a nice bonfire pit! We would recommend this place in a heart beat! Great communication as well! 😄 Thank you again!!" — Rena S., Jackson, Michigan, Airbnb, Sep 2026

- ★★★★★ "Great peaceful getaway!" — Jack K., Grand Haven, Michigan, Airbnb, Aug 2026
- ★★★★ "Not a perfect stay but extremely nice for what we were looking for. Full transparency, the first night of our stay the hot water in the showers wasn’t working and the left kitchen sink side was leaking. The host was extremely communicative and offered to cover a day pass at the gym for us to shower which was extremely kind! However, it was extremely late at night so we decided to stay at the cabin that night and wait until the plumber arrived promptly at 7 am the morning after and we had hot water! The sink was fixed by noon that next day so I do applaud them for their timeliness and communica…" — Mary F., Summerville, South Carolina, Airbnb, Aug 2026
- ★★★★ "Er was geen afwasmachine…." — Tim Z., Maasbree, Airbnb, Aug 2026
- ★★★★★ "Owner was very responsive. The house was very clean and I appreciated that there were ample towels and blankets. Kids appreciated the double shower and toilets. The neighborhood was safe, very safe. We accidentally left our car door wide open all night and no animals or people took anything. Surprisingly there were no bugs which was so pleasant. Please note that there is no AC or dishwasher, we missed this, but it wasn't a problem. Overall great stay. Neighborhood was very very quiet." — Michele P., Barrington, Illinois, Airbnb, Aug 2026
- ★★★★★ "Super cozy house with great views. Loved the hot tub! Very relaxing atmosphere, definitely recommend!" — Kc B., Evart, Michigan, Airbnb, Aug 2026

- ★★★★ "Other than the jacuzzi being unable to use everything was great" — Khalem A., Chicago, Illinois, Airbnb, Jul 2026
- ★★★★★ "We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return, either to this cabin or another of the host's properties. The cabin was well stocked. Even without A/C, it stayed surprisingly cool, and the hot tub worked perfectly. The river was beautiful with clear, refreshing water, though the rocky entry makes water shoes a good idea. The location was great, about 20 minutes from anything you might need. The host was communicative and let us know about pre-existing damage before arrival. We did find a yellow jacket nest and had to buy four extra cans of spray beyond the one provided. The outdoor trash…" — Kelci M., Merrillville, Indiana, Airbnb, Jul 2026
- ★★★★★ "Had an amazing time! All the ladies really enjoyed the weekend!" — Stephanie S., Eastpointe, Michigan, Airbnb, Jul 2026
- ★★★★★ "We had a great weekend on the river. The bugs weren’t too bad and the porch was comfortable." — Jerald O., Ferndale, Michigan, Airbnb, Jul 2026
- ★★★★★ "Our Airbnb cabin was absolutely wonderful—cozy and inviting, making it the perfect retreat. We loved having the kayaks right there, which made exploring the nearby waters so easy and fun. The hot tub was a fantastic way to unwind after a day of adventure, and the back deck quickly became our favorite spot to relax, soak in the peaceful surroundings, and enjoy the fresh air. It truly felt like a little slice of paradise! Roger that, a perfect getaway indeed!" — Christian C., Manteno, Illinois, Airbnb, Jul 2026
- ★★★★★ "We rented this cabin for the night for my brother’s bachelor party. This place was perfect. Lots of sleeping locations, multiple bathrooms, and multiple showers. The area was very peaceful, the cabin was huge, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We loved it. We wish we could have stayed more nights! We are thinking of making it a tradition to come back every year to celebrate the fun time we had." — Jason N., Puyallup, Washington, Airbnb, Jul 2026
- ★★★★★ "We came and stayed mid week. We really enjoyed the home all together. The river was really pretty. I fished and caught a couple of large mouth bass. The girls enjoyed the clean hot tub and it was really nice to have all the outdoor space on the deck and the fireplace area also. I would recommend this place for families of 4 or more because of all of the beds and bathroom availability. I would rent this home again and would recommend it to my friends also. Thanks again for being available for our questions upon arrival, we appreciated that very much." — Joseph G., Garden city, Michigan, Airbnb, Jul 2026

## About the area

★**LOCATION DESCRIPTION**★

Water Sports & Outdoor Activities 

Just north of Big Rapids in Paris, MI, your retreat puts you bluff-top above the Muskegon River — perfect for kayaking, tubing, fishing, wading, and floating right from your doorstep. A river rock landing, stairs down the bluff, and included water gear make every day an outdoor adventure.

Local Attractions & Entertainment 

The area offers much more than river fun: explore the nearby Paris Fish Hatchery, drive into downtown Big Rapids for dining or craft breweries, or take the scenic route to Reed City and Canadian Lakes for lake-life and golf. Whether you crave high-energy outings or relaxed sightseeing, this setting delivers.

Dining & Shopping 

Groceries, casual dining, and specialty shops are just minutes away in Big Rapids and Reed City. Grab fresh local flavors, artisan treats, or cruise into town for a full meal out — the balance of “natural escape” + convenience makes it easy to unwind without sacrificing comfort.

Family-Friendly & Relaxing Atmosphere 

Set on the last stretch of private road, Timber Bluff Retreat sits in a peaceful wooded setting with few neighbors and true privacy. The home offers a modern luxury feel with western-charm décor, making it ideal for families, multi-generational groups, or couples seeking comfort, connection and nature.

The home is private, secluded, and modern allowing you the freedom to enjoy yourselves while still being just a short drive to restaurants, stores and other conveniences. The surrounding cities and towns provide plenty of dining options and we make recommendations in our guidebooks.

If you want seclusion from neighbors and freedom to enjoy yourself, this is the place.
