The house was great including the deck. We felt that the river pictures were to old to be accurate. I expected more room to river fish but there are too many trees down to fish easily. The online pictures need to be updated to present an accurate picture. But this is the only downside to the trip. Nice property.

Lovely River Getaway
Can’t call it a river cabin, because it’s far too nice for that! This is a beautiful, spacious totally finished house on the Tobacco River between Clare and Farwell, MI. Every need for their guests is anticipated and taken care of. Beautiful kitchen, island bar, comfy couches in the great room. Outdoor deck and table overlooking the fast moving (shallow) river. Spacious yard. Close to town but far enough away to be peaceful. Some visitors have commented on this being on a busy 2 lane highway, but really, it was no bother. The bedrooms are spacious and well thought out. We loved our visit, and hope to return.

Close to Everything
My husband and I stayed at Sean’s place for the weekend to attend a concert at the Soaring Eagle which was a short drive. We also went to downtown Clare to watch the Michigan game and that was a quick 5 minutes away. I fell in love with cabin and any concern that I had was answered quickly. But it could use some maintenance and organizing. The outside needs a good cleaning up as well. We wish that the TV would have received local stations. The fireplace kept going out and then we couldn’t get it to work at all. The bed was EXTREMELY comfortable and our puppy enjoyed stepping into the creek. The people staying prior to us did not clean up their dogs mess so that was disrespectful on their part but overall we were very happy with our stay and would definitely visit again. The cabin is a place that I could see myself living. So thank you Sean for your hospitality.
