Wonderful Riverfront getaway
The home is well appointed with plenty of beds and seating for a crowd. The deck is large and amazing for watching the river, soaking up the sun or eating family meals. Our grandkids loved playing in the river and the kayaking was great. We would definitely return.

Great family retreat!
We had a great stay with extended family. We enjoyed the beautiful view from the deck on the Platte River and had fun kayaking. The location was close to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City where we went for more adventures. The house was spacious and great for the size of our family. The kitchen was also well stocked and nice for making meals for our large group.
