About this property

Both Lake and River frontage! Great fishing!

What a great place for the avid angler or the family looking for a quiet get away. This fully restored cottage has a large, private yard perfect for relaxing and features 200+ ft of frontage on Flowage lake, which is famous for it's pike and bass fishing. Also included is frontage on the West Branch of the Rifle River for some of the best trout fishing in the state. A canoe and 3 kayaks are available for guest's use at no charge. When not enjoying the lake and river, you can entertain yourself with the pool table, Foosball table or other games included in the walk out basement. Other amenities include a lake side deck, a river side patio with outdoor fireplace, BBQ grill, washer and dryer, 3 televisions, and central air conditioning. The town of West Branch features great shopping including a Walmart and a Meijers store, a Dunhams Sporting goods store, and a ridiculous number of terrific restaurants, many of whom will deliver right to your door.

Wonderful place and location…if you are fishing, definitely check the seasonal limitations/ rules on the river with regards to closings on parts of the river for fishing.

Can't think of a better spit for a Michigan lake side getaway

Fish camp has a wonderful spot on a smaller ( private feel) all sports lake. Rare to be able to combine those two settings. Also located next to the lakes dam, the gentle water fall sound adds to the relaxing experance of sitting by the lake and enjoying the lakeside view. The cottage is well stocked for all your daily needs and kept up well. Though we did not get to use it being that we were outdoors focused, the lower level has a wonderful game space with bar, pool table, foosball and more.

Echoes of past friends-and-family gatherings resonate in this updated yet still rustic cottage on the edge of a lovely lake and flowing river. It's easy to understand why generations of the owner's family have enjoyed this fish camp site. Do not expect five-star hotel accommodations here--rather a place that shows that many have been here before. There is no dishwasher, so expect to handwash everything you use before and after. The cooler weather did not allow us to get out on the lake, but we loved the view every day--instead we enjoyed the warmth of the outdoor fireplace and the comfy indoor furniture and game room for places to relax and have some fun. Allen was very responsive to my messages and seems to take care of issues that may occur. I hope to stay here again during future visits to my home town.
I suggested renaming it Mirror Lake on this perfect day.

About the host

Hosted by Allen Morris

Host profile image
My family and I have been enjoying our many summer vacations in the West Branch area our entire lives. It's a beautiful part of the state and we enjoy all of the outdoor activities the area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home years ago and have since bought a larger home north of town. We still use "Fish Camp" for our own personal use, but we would like to share it with others so they may also enjoy the many happy times we have had there.

What makes this property unique

This property has a very rare and unique location. Being the old Dam-keepers home, it features water frontage and access to both the lake and the river, offering the best of fishing and recreation on both. Since Flowage Lk. is a smaller lake, it is much more calm and relaxed than some of the more well known lakes in the area. Even busy holiday weekends are quiet and relaxing. Spread out in the large, private yard, Take the canoe or kayak out for a fishing adventure, or just enjoy the unlimited lake views from your front deck. If it gets chilly, cuddle up next to the outdoor fireplace on the back patio. If it rains, head inside for a game of pool or Foosball, or kick back and enjoy one of the 3 big screen tvs. Brand-new Central air and full laundry facilities are the cherry on top of this perfect family vacation spot.
