About the home/cabin.

 

The cabin boasts over 1500 sq' of living space on two floors.  The main floor has two bedrooms (the Bear Den with a queen bed, and the Moose Room with a full over full bunk) a full bathroom, a laundry room and a large Great Room/kitchen/dining area combined which incorporates half of the house. There are enough beds to sleep 9 individuals. If you have more than nine up to our maximum of 12 individuals, the large open loft area could also be used to sleep, provided you bring an air mattress or sleeping bags and all associated bedding (blankets, sheets, pillows).

 

The ceiling is 21' high in the Great Room with a full sized 1930's Cedar Strip canoe hanging in the rafters.  The Great Room area is decked out with rustic oak hardwood flooring and beautiful knotty pine paneling.  This room will leave you breathless!!!

 

Follow the open staircase upstairs to the second floor and you'll find a large loft area overlooking the Great Room and don't forget to look out the upper windows and catch a great view of the river flowing past.  Upstairs, you'll also find another full bath and the third bedroom (the Loon's Nest with a built in queen bed and a built in twin bed).

 

Outside, you'll be surrounded by wooded paradise.  With only one neighbor within sight, you're sure to find more privacy than you could ever imagine.  The cabin sits about 21 ft. above the rivers surface and provides a really unique setting.  The night sky is so dark that the stars feel like they are just inches from your face.  You'll also see plenty of wildlife such as deer, turkeys, Blue Herons, ducks and Bald Eagles.

 

We have added some outdoor games/activities for the summer months such as: horseshoes, ladder ball, corn hole game, a kids play set with a house...slide...swings....and a sandbox.  

 

For relaxation, (from late spring through late fall) we have a hammock, a wooden swing overlooking the river, lounge chairs, patio table/chair set under the pergola, a screened in porch with a comfortable conversation patio set and we also have a 6' picnic table overlooking the river (conversation patio set and picnic table available year round). There is a fire ring with provided firewood for your campfire desires. We have also provided a GAS GRILL for grilling, (note, this grill is not to be used as a "SMOKER", use it as it's intended purpose, GRILLING!)

 

The White River is what we would consider a nice family friendly river.  By this we mean that it's not so small that you can't do anything with it and it's not so big (like the Grand River or the Muskegon River) that it can be on the more dangerous side.  Most of the river is gravel with some sand bars.  The average depth is typically about 18"-24" and the average width of the river is about 50' wide.  The water current is moderate and the water temperatures are cool, only reaching about 70-72 degrees in mid/late summer. It's a great river for tubing and kayaking. (Tubes and Kayaks not provided) If you like to fish, bring your poles and wade in the river fishing for Brook, Brown and Rainbow Trout.

 

We ALWAYS advise that children to be accompanied an adult and wear a life jacket when in or near the river.  Simply for safety.  As parents of young children ourselves, this would be our recommendation no matter which body of water our cabin was on.

 

The home/cabin is completely NON-SMOKING!!!!!
