Ok, here’s the situation: 2 parents, 2 kids, and a dog on a week’s vacation.
Driving to Michigan to see some friends.
Starting in Chapel Hill, will the miles ever end?
They will, they do, with a stop in Ohio,
Where we’ll rest for the adventure that awaits us tomorrow.
River’s Edge isn’t so posh from the cold outside, but it’s a cozy, thoughtful oasis when you’re standing inside.

OK, I had to bust out a little Fresh Prince for this one. We found this place on a lark the day before our trip, and you know what we found? A tradition! We’ll be back next year, for sure.
Outside: shed. Inside, OMG, rough-hewn cedar walls, hot shower, VERY comfortable beds, a mini split that works great, and a wee kitchenette with a fridge, TV, and Coffee maker, alongside actually good coffee. And creamer!
And, this place was clean, clean, clean, top to bottom. So tidy. And hooks abound, so you can stay organized.
Our good dog loved it, too.
And in the morning, the fog rolled in, and as we stood with our coffee on the deck into the mist, we saw a heron and a hawk within about 10 yards.
The crew is tight. Gina brought us breakfast—not fancy, but fresh biscuits—which we ate while we brushed up on the opening scenes of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles before we got back on the road.
This made our trip really feel like a vacation. Loved it. So many thoughtful touches.
Thanks to the River’s Edge crew for giving us a cozy place to stop and rest!
