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.

Great Family Getaway

We really enjoyed being right on the Pere Marquette! We had so much fun on our kayak trip! The guys enjoyed being able to fish right off the back deck. We didn’t have propane for the fire pit, but one quick message to the owner and he had a propane tank delivered promptly. Thank you so much for a very enjoyable getaway!
