About this cabin rental
Tucked away in the serenity of Merritt sits this 2-bedroom, 1-bath vacation rental cabin. Listen to the Muskegon River flow as you sip your coffee on the screened porch and fire up the grill when hunger strikes. With Houghton Lake just minutes away, you can enjoy endless aquatic adventures in the summer and ice skating or snowshoeing when Michigan turns into a winter wonderland. Regardless of the weather, finish each day around the fire - inside or out!

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
Awesome quiet getaway. Beautiful scenery, right on the river.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
The cabin was very cute and cozy and on a pretty setting overlooking the river. My only problem is that there is no WIFI and the cell service is VERY limited. There was no cell signal at all inside the cabin for my Verizon phone and my girlfriend's ATT service connected inside, but wasn't strong enough to run a hotspot.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
The place was very quiet, relaxing, private and great view. The manager Georgia was very helpful. The cell phone reception was disappointing, but have Dish cable was great. Would recommend.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2025
Property was clean and enough space for our family. On arrival grass was extremely long, we had to use a yard bug spray. No propane to use the grill as stated in the listing, an empty tank was left to be filled, what an inconvenience. No firewood. Although this house sits on the river, absolutely no river access, it’s a straight drop off to the river, so don’t plan on getting off or on the river near this house. Never stayed at a rental that offered absolutely no amenities.
