Rainbow Reel

Rainbow Reel Michigan's White River Cabin. "Where relaxation Begins" Looking for a relaxing place to unwind? Do you like peace and quiet and the beauty of nature? Beautiful!

Do you like a rustic "feeling" place yet all the conveniences of home? Don't you wish you could find that perfect place that covers all of these situations? Rainbow Reel is the place for you! We just completed our brand new vacation home in November, 2013 and we are proud to offer it up as a nightly (minimum stay required) or weekly vacation rental to responsible persons. The river is renowned for

it's trout fishing. (Yes, there is a legal time of year for trout fishing, so be sure to check first) It's also a great river to kayak, canoe or even tube down. The river is a cool/cold river because of the natural springs that feed the river. It never completely freezes over during the winter in front of our place due to the current, so it makes for a beautiful winter retreat as well. Invision the sights of the snow pack on the ground and the unfrozen river moving by. The home offers tons of privacy on the 3.47 wooded acre building site with 229' of private, high bank, White River frontage. There is only one neighbor next door, but they are only there once in a while. The home has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths a fully stocked kitchen, a laundry room and a Great Room that will leave you breathless! The Great Room has a 21' high ceiling and is decked out in Knotty Pine throughout with circle sawn oak hardwood flooring stained a dark walnut color. Just beautiful! The kitchen has tile flooring with Rustic Hickory cabinets and black appliances. It will comfortably sleep 9 persons with it's two queen beds, it's full over full bunk and one twin bed. Dish Network is the TV service provider. No phone or internet service provided. (Only internet available is satellite) However, those of you who have smartphones, 4G lte service is there. That's what we use if we need it. Remember, you are there to relax and GET AWAY FROM SOME OF THOSE EVERYDAY ROUTINES. :)

The yard is of nice size for yard games and kids to play. We also have a kids playset with a slide, clubhouse, sandbox and swings. The property on each side of us IS PRIVATE PROPERTY and we ask that you respect our neighbors by staying within our property lines. We've worked very hard to make this dream home as beautiful as it is, and all we would every ask from anyone who rents our home is to treat it good and help us keep the home looking great for years to come. Please treat it nicely and as you'd want others to treat your home. Thank you for understanding and granting our wishes.

Rainbow Reel has undergone some big transformations over the past 6 months. We built the cabin 11 years ago and it required very little as far as updates but we figured now was the time to add some features our family desired as well as some updates.

We have a couple German Shorthair Pointer dogs of our own and if you know a GSP, they are hunters. We don’t ever let them out off a leash on their own, so to allow us to use the cabin more with the doggies, we added a beautiful fenced in yard for them. This required some significant wood lot clearing to be done.

We also added 3 railings on the deck under the existing pergola to keep them contained. The woodshed was relocated out of the fenced area closer to the river and the fire pit. Inside of the fenced in yard, we added a 14’ x 35’ concrete patio with electric plumbed to it. Next spring we will be adding a 12’ x 16’ gazebo with lights hanging from the gazebo. Under the gazebo will be the new location for the poly table and chairs that once sat under the deck pergola.

New steps were added leading off the side deck onto the new concrete patio. New handrails will be constructed next spring along all 3 sets of steps of the deck.

We also added a nice wide concrete sidewalk from the gravel parking area to the front door steps.

Inside the home, a new countertop and a new black sink and faucet was installed. We also fixed the half wall to the side of the stove and shortened that wall height to match the rest of the counter top and added a matching countertop on that. Now all of the stoves burners can be used.

We also added a new kitchen island cart for some kitchen supplies and a place to gain counter space. The kitchen walls were repainted from the old pumpkin orange to a forest green. Wow does the color pop and make a huge difference. The pantry shelving was also painted to match the kitchen and Beth made a woodsy curtain to cover the pantry shelves.

The laundry room also undertook some changes. After 11 years of use, the washer and dryer were replaced with new units and the laundry room was repainted to a brighter color.

Next was the hallway and the main floor bathroom. They each received a new paint job to match the brighter walls of the laundry room. Brighter and whiter light bulbs were installed in the fixture over the sink and wow, what a difference.

The bear den bedroom had a beautiful ceiling fan installed and lastly, a new Black Forest cuckoo clock from Germany was added in the living room.

These changes and improvements have transformed the, already great cabin, into an amazing place for people and pets alike. The doggies are LOVIN’ the newly fenced yard.

See photos attached for some of the changes.

Wishing you the happiest of holidays!
