Cabin/Cottage on the South Branch of the Pere Marquette River!

Located just 15 minutes west of Baldwin and 25 minutes east of Ludington. Sleeps up to 6 adults with 1 queen bed and 4 twin beds. The cabin/cottage is very bright, cheery and spacious so ladies you will love it too. There are 2 fire pits and we have firewood available onsite at no charge. We also provide a full size charcoal grill with charcoal and a full size gas grill with propane. There is a 2 stall garage and a brand new large deck facing the river with plenty of seating and a fire table. In addition to the cabin being on the river you are situated across the road from 80 acres of federal land that contains additional winding river frontage for you to explore. If it's a rainy day and you want to stay inside we also carry a large selection of movies (over 300) and board games. There is something for everyone just pack your clothes, groceries and outdoor toys and get ready to relax and explore. Cell service is very limited at the cabin and there is no WiFi. Guest appreciate being able to detach from technology.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and a dining table. Limited housekeeping is available.

Cabin was great for spending time outdoors. Lack of cell service and WiFi could possibly be an issue in emergency situations, but certainly encourages getting outdoors. We enjoyed our time thoroughly!
