Nice Property on Green Bay in Cedar River, MI
This is a renovated log cabin right on Green Bay. It’s been well-cared-for, and owners have thought of several ways to make guests feel welcomed and comfortable. Instructions and description were brief, concise, and appreciated. We would definitely rent again if plans take us to that area again. Thank you for such a pleasant stay.

Getaway in UP Michigan
My wife and I and hounds loved our stay. Cabin was very clean and exactly as described. Super comfortable bed and well stocked kitchen. Both bathrooms were newly renovated…wish I could take home with me!!! Setting is very private and nothing compares to that fire pit on the lake. Highly recommend R&J from NC mountains

Nice Waterfront Cottage
Overall, the cottage was very nice and clean and the location is hard to beat. The lake being right there and being able to wade out to waist area 100 yards into the water was great.

Comfortable, spacious lovely view
Directions to cabin a bit convoluted. Was not that difficult to find. Was lovely. Mosquitoes were probably at their worst so was difficult to enjoy the outside. A screen porch or gazebo would have been great. Well stocked & thoughtfully set up for guests.

Awesome stay!
Our family had an amazing time at this cabin right on Lake Michigan! The place was off the main road set back in the woods and right in the water which allowed for privacy. Loved that this cabin was pet friendly and very clean, organized and beautiful! Thank you for our stay and helping us to make awesome summer memories!

Lovely Anniversary Trip
We thoroughly enjoyed our cabin experience ... a long weekend for our anniversary. The location and beach are beautiful ... looking out at the moon over the water. The bed is very comfortable and snug. We enjoyed fires in the evening and cooked delicious meals in the well stocked kitchen. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Great family getaway with small kids
We stayed with three boys (2, 5 and 8) and our dog in mid summer. The house was roomy and comfortable. The beach was fantastic and the shallow water was kind of perfect for the whole family. We just settled into the rhythm of being on the beach - swimming, playing in the sand, making a campfire and grilling.

Cedar Cabin By The Bay was the perfect getaway!
This cabin is just steps from the water, and has the best set up for a relaxing break for cooking in the fully equiped kitchen, sleeping in the comfortable beds, enjoying a fore in the pit by the lake, and relaxing in the shade of the trees. This cabin has updated bathrooms (with a rain shower) and an open kitchen/dining/living room set up with gorgeous windows that face the lake. I would height recommend this cabin to anyone, and we hope to return again soon!

Perfect spot for water-dog families.
We spent most of our day watching our water- loving pup play in the lake. The kids were so happy to play volleyball in the water and on the beach. Take your family, put down the devices, soak up nature, eat every meal together at the big table and throw a thousand sticks to your dog.

Awesome escape
My husband and I were looking for a getaway from the city, a place on the water that was cozy and beautiful. This place was all of those things and exceeded our expectations. Recommended for folks that love to stay in and cook your own food, hike, have bonfires on the beach (closest cluster of restaurants is 30+ min away). Definitely will be back! Loved all the books, games, puzzles and gear included!

Excellent property in a beautiful location with all the amenities. The beach is great for kids and a dog. The only drawback was that tree cutting happened in the neighboring property which created a lot of noise. But that has nothing to do with the property itself. Would visit again.
