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.

About the host
Hosted by Thom
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.
