About this property

Enjoy the awesome outdoor space on the South Branch of the Pere Marquette River!

Welcome to this charming cabin that sits directly on the edge of the South Branch of the Pere Marquette River. The cabin sits on 2 acres of private property overlooking 750' of prime trout fishing waters. The cabin also is located to adjacent to the Michigan snowmobile and ATV trail system. This amazing retreat features two bedrooms and a sleeping loft, plus a serene living room that includes a full bed for extra comfort. Guests enjoy clean, well-appointed bedrooms and bathrooms. Whether you’re relaxing indoors or planning your day on the water, grilling on the deck, or sitting at the fire pit overlooking the river at night this phenomenal property offers a peaceful escape.

You will love the view of the river from the deck and fishing from the low bank yard for trout. The river is a must to take a day kayak trip and we supply you with 10 kayaks and paddles. Star gazing while sitting around the fire pit at night is one of our favorite things to do.

The cabin sits right on the Michigan snowmobile trail, grab your sleds and head to Baldwin, Bitely, or Chase for lunch. Our favorite thing to do is grab our side by side and head out on the trails. We also love to get pizza from the Ruby Creek Tavern or head over to the Silver Bullet for dinner.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Thom

Host profile image
We love sharing our Pere Marquette River Cabin with guest. Our time on the river are considered by us as the most relaxing time you could hope for and we love to share it with you!

Why they chose this property

The property is pretty secluded, sitting on two acres with 750' of river frontage with a low bluff yard. The long drive brings you back to our cozy cabin that sits looking out over the South Branch of the Pere Marquette River.

What makes this property unique

Our 750' of private river frontage, huge deck right on the river and proximity to the the trail system makes our cabin one of the most unique in Northern Michigan! The trout fishing is considered as some of the best in the state and the star gazing is as good as you could imagine. The expansive yard is great for games and we have plenty of parking for your vehicles and tow behind trailers with your trail toys.
