Cozy Cottage on the River

The hosts Lisa and John were very nice and accommodating. The property is a shared location with the owners. Great property and great location - under a mile to a drop-in kayak/boating launch and close to Fife Lake. Thanks so much to Lj's River Cottage for hosting my husband and I for the weekend.

It wasn’t an overall bad stay. The fires were the best part with the large fire pit but it felt a little odd to have the pictures look like this was on the water but it was really in the front yard by the road and the main house was the one that had the water access. Not bad overall, just a little interesting and I think pictures may need to be updated.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa and John Pfeiffenberger

My husband John and I (Lisa) raised 6 children in historical district of Traverse City Michigan. It was always our plan once we became empty nesters to purchase a home on the Manistee river. So in 2014 our dreams came true as we bought our home on the river backed up to miles of state land. We now have 8 grandchildren and enjoy the time we get to spend with them. John and I remodeled the cottage that is on our property for a vacation rental. We wanted to share this beautiful area with others. Ever since we moved it here we have felt like we were on vacation.

Why they chose this property

This property is on the upper part of the manistee river and backed up to miles of state land. The boat launch is a minute down the river from our cottage and house. The wheeling,snowmobile,two tracks, hunting,fishing,kayaking,tubing,and snowshoeing are fantastic.
