Whether you’re relaxing indoors or planning your day on the water, grilling on the deck, or sitting at the fire pit overlooking the river at night this phenomenal property offers a peaceful escape.

You will love the view of the river from the deck and fishing from the low bank yard for trout. The river is a must to take a day kayak trip and we supply you with 10 kayaks and paddles. Star gazing while sitting around the fire pit at night is one of our favorite things to do.

The cabin sits right on the Michigan snowmobile trail, grab your sleds and head to Baldwin, Bitely, or Chase for lunch. Our favorite thing to do is grab our side by side and head out on the trails. We also love to get pizza from the Ruby Creek Tavern or head over to the Silver Bullet for dinner.

This was are third time staying here for are fishing trip. Place was spotless. But it’s getting too expensive. Raise the price 200 a night more is too expensive now so we will just look for a cheaper place next year. I know everything is going up. But you know what time it is for fishing. I get it. But this is are third time.you think you would get a discount. PS the deck on the back was very spongy. Could be a trip hazard. But I love the place and wish it was cheaper for next year.

Michigan Getaway

This place was perfect for a couple of families to share. The inside is really nice. The deck and outdoor kitchen are great for grilling and outdoor dining. The beds and pillows are comfortable. We took the kayaks on a float trip down the river. The kids were able to skip rocks, swim and fish from the yard. Fun place to stay!

Amazing property for a quiet getaway

My partner and I stayed with three other couples and it was a great time. The rain gave us a reprieve so we could enjoy the deck and grill. They went swimming in the river out back. We had a blast. Would definitely stay here again.

Exceptional weekend getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this well appointed and comfortable home. Ten women bonding and having a blast! We rafted, we drank, and we laughed and laughed! There was plenty of room and seating for all! The majority of our time was spent hanging out on the massive deck which is sporting a brand new and quite comfortable dining set. Thank you for letting us in to your home and sharing this beautiful piece of property with us!

Great Stay

We came up from a Ohio for the Salmon run, the location was perfect for us, and the place was very accommodating. We were very comfortable and had plenty of rest for the days’ grind in the Pere Marquette river. We put the grill to use right away and enjoyed the quiet in the late evenings. Highly recommended and would consider booking next season.

No propane

I had to go buy propane for the fire pit and two kayaks leaked water inside. Just a very inconvenient because for our 4 th time, we were only there for a couple days. Way too pricey.
