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!

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin! It was absolutely amazing and very clean. Erika was wonderful in answering any questions we had and VERY quick to respond back. Very well stocked, beds were very comfortable. Loved having all the movies to choose from. The river was great with lots of fish. Fire pits were in perfect locations on the propertyThe location of the cabin was great & in a quiet setting. Didn’t have any problems while there. We would definitely stay here again.

We would DEFINITELY stay here again, only draw backs we had were the main bedroom barely has room to walk around the bed and there is no closet so having your luggage with you is impossible. The Kcup attachment was missing so i had to cut open my pods and use the grounds. And the shower head is very old and clogged, made showers a little rough. The fishing was AMAZING! We WILL be back!

It was very nice and peaceful, the river right now in the backyard did a little bit of fishing, the only thing that could make it better is maybe some cable or Wi-Fi

Nice getaway

We were looking for a quiet retreat for our family close to our favorite Michigan beach. This fit the bill. The lack of internet was such a nice break. We loved the extensive movie collection.
