A quaint and cozy cottage right on the river. The neighbors were very quiet. The cottage had all the amenities you would need. My only complaint would be the portable room AC unit was pretty loud, and it made it difficult to cool down the bedroom. It wasn't a huge issue, but a little bit of a draw back.

Very nice place to stay right on the river. Bait shop/launch site is pretty much right around the corner. Property manager was very helpful and responsive to my questions I had. Will love to stay here again in the future.

Quiet and Relaxing

Just the perfect spot for two people to kick back and relax for however long they want. Incredibly affordable price to be right on the water and if you have any small personal boats to bring like kayaks or canoes, it makes it so easy to use them. All in all a very relaxing stay.

Location of this property is perfect for those wishing to fish the Wolf River and catch some Walleye or Whitebass action. Beautiful yard with firepit and deck with riverview. Dock fishing for whitebass was excellent and fishing boat rental next door with bait and tackle was very convenient. Price was reasonable for acommodations.

Our stay at the cottage had both positives and a few challenges. The location in Fremont was very convenient, and Cathy was wonderful to communicate with throughout the booking process. Check-in was simple and easy, which made our arrival stress-free.The cottage itself is older and could benefit from some maintenance. There were several fans and air purifiers running throughout the house, which made us wonder if they were being used to help with previous water damage to the foundation. Many of the doors and windows did not close or seal properly, allowing quite a few bugs inside the cottage. The window used for the air conditioner did not have a screen, so we ended up stuffing towels around the window to help keep insects out.The microwave turntable does not fit and makes microwaving anything challenging. It should be noted that running the microwave while the air conditioner was powered on tripped the electrical breaker. We also had to purchase basic supplies such as garbage bags and toilet paper since not enough were provided for the length of our stay.The bathroom was definitely the highlight of the cottage since it was recently renovated. One thing to be aware of is that the water has a noticeable sulfur smell, likely due to the property's proximity to the river and the local water table.Overall, the cottage has potential. With a few thoughtful updates, it could be a more comfortable experience for future guests.

Wish for Fish

We were excited to try our luck on the river and more importantly , timing our stay with the annual White Bass run !Fishing accommodations at the cabin were great right off the two available piers. There was plenty of room to store/tie if you brought a boat . Unfortunately our fish timing was off again this year. NO FISH !! But the cabin was very clean, cozy and comfortable

Nice little home on the river

Went there to do some kayaking on the river and nearby lakes. Was easy to get kayaks to the dock. The dock is about 24 to 30 inches above the waterline so watch a YouTube video or 2 on how to properly get into a Kayak from a dock. The home was clean and cool with the window AC unit. Temps were in the upper 80s that week so was a blessing to have. There is an adequate supply of pots and pans in decent shape if you want to cook. Overall it was a great stay. Looking forward to a potential repeat stay in 2024.

Served its purpose!

There were a few things that could have been cleaned better (someones toothbrush and hair tie left in shower, dishes needing to be washed before using them, trash from the last guests left on patio table), the air conditioning installation left crevices for lots of bugs to come in. The cabin is old so there were some cosmetic issues but all in all it was comfy, affordable, and in a great location.

It would be great if the hosts could update the cookware, like pots and pans, since the current ones are quite scratched, and non-stick coatings can be unhealthy when damaged. There was no light on the pier, maybe it just needs a new bulb. In the backyard there is no lighting at all, not even a fixture, so it wasn’t possible to sit outside in the evening. On the electric stove, one of the burners — the large one — is not working.

Thank you for the input! We immediately replaced the cookware. The stove worked when we checked it, it may have just needed the element plugged in tighter, but I appreciate that you let us know. We'll work on the lighting issues. Wayne and I always strive to meet the needs of our guests and appreciate the feedback.

Not knowing the area at all, I was unsure of what to expect. I found the cabin to be in poor condition both outside and inside. The location was great and the bathroom wasn't bad. However, the fact that there were three small portable ac machines as well as two fans and it was still very warm in the bedroom to sleep at night was disappointing. Other than the bathroom, the rest of the place was very dated and both the deck and boat dock are in need of repair and paint. The back door and sliding glass door also need to be replaced or adjusted as they were difficult to operate. Also the Internet was spotty at best when it worked. Also no paper towels or trash bags were available as well as some older bath towels that looked to be well used. Do not recommend this unit to have a relaxing stay in at all. There are much better units available in the same area that we saw.

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Marquardt

Host profile image
Wayne and I were born and raised in Fremont and are so fortunate to have lived in such a wonderful community. Wayne and our son, Evan, are avid fishermen and enjoy hunting ducks, geese, pheasant, and deer. We also love to travel west for more adventures! Spending time on the water and camping are some of our favorite activities.

Why they chose this property

We love Fremont! We chose this property for easy river access with a boat lift, saving us from trailering our boat each time. Our home is in West Bloomfield, just a few miles away, so we decided to rent the cottage while still enjoying convenient boat access.

What makes this property unique

Our property features a private dock and is conveniently located within walking distance of bars and restaurants. A bait shop and boat landing are also just steps away, perfect for launching your boat!
