All we can say is wow 🙂
What an amazing stay, this place is a little slice of heaven. Whether it's relaxing on the property around the fire, or out on the dock, you'll love this place. They have the house stocked with basically anything you could need and take very good care of it as well. Hope to come back!

Comfortable, Quiet Place
Nice place to stay for a week while in town for a seminar. Shades in the bedroom would have been nice as the sheer curtains let in a lot of light. There is very low cell signal, so this should probably be noted in the description for those who may have emergency calls they have to be available for. Owners are very nice and respectful of privacy.

Quiet retreat
The house was very cute and quaint. It's on a really nice river. It brought back a lot of good childhood memories and was a very comfortable stay. Being a dog friendly place to stay was really nice and accommodating. Upgrades were nice and the place was very clean.

Amazing, peaceful, & immaculate views
We came for a birthday weekend & ended with realizing we all needed a calm peaceful weekend. The house was perfect to relax & have fun on the kayaks. Enjoyed having coffee on the dock in the morning & end the day with a cocktail. This is truly a diamond. Thank you for sharing your home with us!!

Black River
Had a great stay. It was a nice base for our excursions to Mackinac Islabd and the UP. It was nice being able to catch fish right from the dock on the property.

Not so peaceful
Was very much looking forward to peace and quiet, like the listing boasted. There is a house being built 40 ft from the cabin. All we heard was air guns, hammers, and a construction crew cursing at one another from 8am to 5 pm daily.

Reunion stay
We were surprised that we had to have our own towels/sheets ( finally found it last on the page) - wish it would have been at the top of the list as we were unprepared and had to borrow from family. Also, we had our elderly father with us and found the place not very user-friendly for him. One suggested would be a grab bar near the toilet.

Nice quiet place on the river.
Overall I'd say the description of the property was accurate. As far as it being clean, I would say that the outdoor space could have been swept and wiped down better. The chairs and table had to be wiped down to use them. (This could be due to rain and storms prior, but not sure) The inside was clean and neat. We did encounter someone else's sheets in the washer when I went to use it. I decided not to do wash. We loved the 3 season porch and sat out there in the mornings with coffee. Also a great space for our dog.

Not a complaint but to let you know the front left burner on the stove is very slow in heating up. Also you have an outlet in the living room without a cover on it. Overall we enjoyed the stay, even went kayaking in the rain when we got there. Also checked out the falls you mentioned in your guide and checked out the local eating establishments.

Nice getaway
We had a great time fishing and kayaking on the river. The property was a nice place to stay. We could not get the drier to work. Cell phone service was not great, and WiFi was not set up yet. But it was nice to unplug and enjoy nature for a few days.

Perfect place!!
This cottage was perfect for what we needed! Our daughter had a softball tournament in Cheboygan. The place was very clean and cute! Bathroom was very nicely updated. It’s a retro mobile home that’s updated. Perfect spot right on the river. The owners were amazing and have the house right behind the cottage. Great people. The neighbors on the other side were quiet. We were told by the owners that the neighbors aren’t very dog friendly. The lot is smaller so just keep that in mind if you bring your dog. You have to make sure that they stay on the cottage property. Also, if you plan on fishing right there it’s very shallow so no fish right at the cabin. The lake and dam aren’t very far away so you can go fishing there. We didn’t have time to use the kayaks but they were there and very nice. Bring sheets and towels, as those aren’t provided. Highly recommend this place for a nice get away!!

Great stay
We had a blast here. Vary quiet relaxing yet kids had a blast. The river is amazing great neighbors. Awesome place that we plan to book again. If you have a boat I would think pontoon or smaller fishing boat would work amazing. Our boat was too big for the river but was great for the lake. Tons of pan fish caught right in the river from the dock and then some good fishing in black lake. Also alot of Tubing fun on the lake. Super laid back and relaxing. Kids absolutely loved the river vary clean and shallow for swimming. Over all a great trip.

Relaxing Vacation
Absolutely loved our stay at Peaceful Cabin. It was clean! It lived up to its name of "Peaceful Cabin" and was very relaxing and quite. Loved being close to the water and central to various cities in Michigan. We were roughly 25 miles to the UP which was perfect! Will be renting again.
