Cabin

Was a very nice cabin with excellent access to Pere Marquette river. No cell service or wifi, that was a bit of a challenge. When I arrived the cabin was 82 inside with no window screens installed. I found the screens in the garage and installed them so I could make the inside bearable. The cabin seemed pretty duaty inside toiletries were scarce but I managed. I truly loved the cabin and its layout. There was ample room and outdoor furnishings available.

Best Cottage on the River

This was our third year here for a week. We love love the new deck and siding! Such a treasure I hate sharing how much we love this place for fear it will be booked up when I want to stay. Very homey and comfortable! It’s the next best thing to owning the place myself. ur favorite place to get away for a peaceful week. And our dogs come too because they love the big back yard and sitting on the river deck watching the fish go by. A++

This place is great!

My wife and daughter wanted to see the beach and hit some shops. Quick 40 minute drive and they were happy! My son and I wanted to try trout fishing. Walk out the back door and we caught some trout and a nice king. There is NO cell service (AT&T) or wifi but, thanks to the HUGE DVD collection at the house and some games we brought from home, everyone was happy and entertained! This house would make for a great fishing cabin or a nice family getaway. We are already talking about next year’s trip!

Fishing trip

We stayed at the cabin on the river . We saw some salmon in the river behind the cabin but we fished the same location that we always have for years. Loved the cabin and all the convenient things that it had . It was not far from a nice sports bar with live entertainment. The only thing that would have made it better was if it Wi-Fi but we didn’t really miss it.id stay there again.

Relaxing retreat

We had a lovely time relaxing at the cabin. The boys enjoyed fishing off the dock, and we loved eating out on the back deck. The beds were all comfy and the view of the stars at night was amazing. We would stay again for sure!

Fishing Trip

Everything about the house is perfect. The newly built deck is amazing. The stairs that lead down to river is awesome. It has all the amenities you need. Overall, it’s a clean, small, cozy cottage home, a place where you can get away and unwind. I definitely would like to come back next year in the spring or fall.

Very Nice!

This is truly a superb property located on the South Branch of the Pere Marquette River. The new deck is beautiful, and compliments the open interior of the cottage. What a comfortable place! I consider this to be a great find, and highly recommend this property for your next stay along the "PM" river!

Wonderful Getaway

We had a wonderful sibling's weekend here with a group from 40yo-7yo. We love the natural setting. The cabin is well-equipped. We had a movie night each night with the large collection of DVDs. We also brought our own tubes and took advantage of the river. WIFI is sparse, but that actually was an advantage when engaging our teen and tweens. We loved this place.
