    Clean cabin with all necessities. Bed and futon were comfortable. Didn't see a TV though that was listed, but we didn't need one and enjoyed watching the river instead. Great location, close to drive to Traverse City and lots of lakes and parks to enjoy away from the city. Very nice host, and we would definitely stay again!

    From the owner: "Jason - Thank you for your great review of the Rivershire Retreat Cabin! We are grateful for your business and are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We certainly enjoyed having you here! You were terrific guests. I'm very sorry if our listing showed a TV was included in the cabin. After seeing your review, I checked our listing and it appears as though somehow the TV box was checked although I've been very careful to make sure we never make false claims, so I'm confused how that could have happened. However, I did notice the description mentions there's no TV and that the cabin comes with high speed internet so guests can bring a laptop and stream their favorite shows if they like. Regardless, we apologize for any misrepresentation. We're happy you enjoyed the cabin and appreciated the "river nature channel" out the large picture window. It's mesmerizing! Thanks again for staying at Rivershire Retreat. We'd love to welcome you back again any time! Tricia"

    5/5

    Very pretty spot. Cabin is cozy and met all our needs. It was easy to find and not a long drive from downtown Traverse City. Lots to do and see close by. Only thing missing was some chairs by the dock to sit and watch the water!

    From the owner: "Bianca - Thank you for your kind 5-star review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay in the Rivershire Retreat Cabin. There are two folding chairs provided on the patio and two other comfy chairs by the chimenea that guests are welcome to move to the dock or anywhere else. The dock is too narrow to accommodate Adirondack chairs or something similar, so we provide the other movable chairs instead. We hope you're come see us again sometime and always let us know if you have any questions or need anything. It was a pleasure having you stay at Rivershire Retreat! Tricia"

    Sister’s birthday, she wanted a little cabin by a river-it was perfect. Great location for exploring all of UP NORTH. Futon not very comfortable and I couldn’t open it but didn’t really need to. We didn’t cook but everything you need is there. Will definitely go again. Loved the book, too.

    From the owner: "Shirley and Gail - Thank you for your kind review! We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay at the Rivershire Retreat Cabin. I’m sorry you were unable to open the futon. It’s much more comfortable when opened. I would have been happy to come over and open it up for you. It’s pretty easy but there’s a trick to it. I trust the queen bed was comfortable as we just replaced the mattress last year. Anyway, we’re delighted it met your expectations for a cabin by the river. Perfect! Please do come back again. We’d love to have you return. Thanks for staying at Rivershire Retreat and for reading “River Love.” Nice to know you loved it. Please feel free to spread the word about both the cabin and the book. Word of mouth is the best advertising of all! Take care and please come back soon! Tricia Frey"
