The space
Wander Inn Retreat is a clean, inviting riverfront cottage with classic up-north features and a fresh, modern remodel. The home is appointed for year-round use, with summer-time yard games like KanJam and Yardzee, watersports equipment including kayaks and tubes, and an indoor fireplace, outdoor firepit and four season sunroom for chilly nights or rainy days. Whether you're looking for a fun-in the sun escape, or a fall night filled with star gazing and marshmallow roasting, Wander Inn will fill that need!
This home includes features designed to bring family, friends and loved ones closer together. A well appointed kitchen, outdoor grill and utensils, and outdoor dining furniture will make it easy to cook that fresh fish from the river, or steaks from one of our local Amish farmers.
Conveniently located in Central Michigan, Wander Inn Retreat will fill your need for an escape to a slower more connected vacation, without excessive hours traveling. The home hugs the river shoreline just a few minutes from Evart, Michigan and nearby Reed City, Hersey, Sears, Marion, and Tustin. Central Michigan is the perfect destination at only an hour and a half from Grand Rapids, two and a half hours from Detroit, and three and a half hours from Chicago.

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 enjoyed our stay
We did a friend group weekend trip here and we loved it! The house was very nice. We got pizza from BC pizza and had a fire the first night, the pizza was so good! (They had gluten free and dairy free options) the next day we went down the river on kayaks. Dropped in at Crawford park (10 min drive away) and ended at the house it was about a 3 hour trip and it was so beautiful and fun the river was so great! We all had a blast!
This location is very peaceful and quiet. Great access to the Muskegon River. Equipment to use on the river provided. We had a dog with us and she was able to roam the area on the leash without worrying about getting onto neighbor’s property. Overall Robert was responsive to questions and provided helpful hints for our stay. We enjoyed our time.
We had 5 adults, 2 kids, and a dog. There was plenty of space and beds for all of us. It's a beautifully decorated cabin on a very large lot leading right up to the river. We tied tubes and floated in the river. We caught several bass. We enjoyed sitting by the river and watching people tube and kayak past. This is definitely a place we would return to!
My family had an amazing time here. The view of the river from the back of the house was beautiful. The decorations, the amenities, and the cleanliness were perfect. We got use out of the provided tubes to flow down the Muskegon River, flowing right to the back door. The communication from the host was excellent even when hiccups appeared. We would love to come back here and make even more memories!
This cabin was an incredible place to stay! it fit our needs perfectly and I would 100% recommend anyone stay here. our host was always kind and responsive. I would stay here again

Thank you!
Beautiful is an understatement! The house is very well decorated and super cozy. Kayaking family bonding good fishing and the beautiful stars at night. We would love to come back
Thank you Eddy!
We had a great stay at Wander Inn. The view of the river was absolutely beautiful! The house was clean and organized. With a few nice homey touches like a few games, throw blankets, and sound machines. Linen was comfy and extra towels were available. Which was great because our kids got super dirty playing at their great grandparents house. Robert was very responsive and proactive with great info. Wonderful visit all around! We will definitely stay again.
Thank you, Lauren!
We didn’t want to leave. From the accommodations, to the surroundings, this place checked every box. We had such a great time and constantly were catching ourselves just soaking everything in. This place is just perfect for a small getaway with your favorite people. We will be booking with them again.
Thank you, Will! We appreciate you staying with us!
this is my second year staying with forest and flow location. Great river access, beautiful home. there is nothing you need but yourself and some clothes. kitchen has every appliance needed. my favorite is the waffle maker! the locals are very friendly and absolutely love the neighbors Doggo who came to visit us once a day. if you're looking for your next get away, don't wait!
Thank you, Kimerlie!
We enjoyed our stay immensely. Very relaxing, quiet and serene. The home was spacious and although we only had 2 guests, would have easily handled our whole family!
Thank you, Mel!
Very beautiful cabin with a beautiful view of the river. The cabin was exactly as described and was more than perfect for a short getaway with my wife.
Thank you Alan!
The house was beautiful, inside and out! Super clean and the beds are very comfortable! There are board games, books and movies which were great since we had some rain during our stay. Sitting down by the river was so relaxing! Would definitely recommend this house to family and friends and look forward to staying again in the future!
Thank you, Kesha!
We had a relaxing stay. Beautiful home, well decorated and we really appreciated all the small touches. Would highly recommend and look forward to booking again in the future. Communication was great.
Thank you Robyn!
We had a great stay! Ensure to observe your surroundings and give wildlife space. The ecosystem must be thriving with the abundance of water snakes, turtles and insect life! We were able to witness many bird species like the Osprey, Blue Herons, ducks and more! Proximity to the neighbors made interesting moments at times. We loved the little pond near the fire pit since it wasn't on the river side. Kayaking and tubing was our highlight even with the lower water level and sharing space with the harmless water snakes.
Thank you Christian! It's awesome you were able to see all that wildlife! We've also seen dozens of Bald Eagles, Snow Owls, Hawks, in addition to all the mammals and reptiles!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. It was a beautiful location and home. The host was very responsive and we felt that there were many thoughtful amenities included (k-cups, tea, extra toothbrushes, etc). We had fun kayaking on the river. Great place to stay!
Thank you Jessica!
We had a great time here! The cabin had everything we needed and a beautiful sun room that we spent lots of time in. The deck on the river was the perfect place for coffee each morning, watching the wildlife and listening to the birds! It was such a peaceful and relaxing stay!
Thank you Janos! We're glad you enjoyed yourselves!
So pleased with this rental house. Absolutely spotless, quality linens, including extra thick towels! Well equiped kitchen with everything you need. The outside was so relaxing... we weren't too lucky fishing on the river (only one fish), but it was so relaxing. We didn't use the kayaks, but the river is perfect for this activity. Robert (host), was so friendly and was able to answer back very quickly with any questions. We hope to come back again next year! Don't hesitate to rent!!!
Thank you Sally! I forgot to tell the fish you would be there and they needed to get hooked. Next time I promise they will show up! ;-)
Beautiful view of the river! Pictures dont do it justice .
Thank you for staying, Egypt!
Would definitely stay again!
Thank you Alan!
We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful home. We enjoyed the river right outside the back door. It was very serene and peaceful.
Thanks again for staying with us twice!
My husband and I were looking to getaway for our first anniversary and this place was perfect. Its serene, quiet, and beautiful to sit out by the river and just absorb nature. Highly recommend 💜
Happy Anniversary! We'll see you again in 12 months, or maybe sooner!
This house was amazing! Sitting right off the river. The sun room was amazing. Woke up in the mornings drinking coffee over looking the river while watching deer and turkey.
Thank you! I'm glad this worked out for your remote work, extended stay!

About the area
Located in a small enclave of vacation homes and full-time residents, there are very few surrounding neighbors and really... that's kind of the point of this place, isn't it?. Across the river is pristine, undeveloped land which never has visitors and with no development plans, so guests can have unincumbered views of the river and wildlife.
The home is private, secluded, and picturesque 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 adequate dining options and we make recommendations in our guidebooks.
If you want seclusion from neighbors and freedom to enjoy yourself, this is the place.

Getting around
Managed by ROAM
ROAM Management
We manage homes across the country, and we run each one like a storefront, not a listing. We stay in these towns ourselves — we dine in the restaurants, hike the same trails, and know which lake is worth the early start. The same team answers the phone, checks the house, and sets the rate.
