About this property

Cabin/Cottage on the South Branch of the Pere Marquette River!

Located just 15 minutes west of Baldwin and 25 minutes east of Ludington. Sleeps up to 6 adults with 1 queen bed and 4 twin beds. The cabin/cottage is very bright, cheery and spacious so ladies you will love it too. There are 2 fire pits and we have firewood available onsite at no charge. We also provide a full size charcoal grill with charcoal and a full size gas grill with propane. There is a 2 stall garage and a brand new large deck facing the river with plenty of seating and a fire table. In addition to the cabin being on the river you are situated across the road from 80 acres of federal land that contains additional winding river frontage for you to explore. If it's a rainy day and you want to stay inside we also carry a large selection of movies (over 300) and board games. There is something for everyone just pack your clothes, groceries and outdoor toys and get ready to relax and explore. Cell service is very limited at the cabin and there is no WiFi. Guest appreciate being able to detach from technology.

Unfortunately our 3 day fishing trip was hampered by heavy rains and high dirty water so we left a day early. But as always the property was amazing

Cabin

Was a very nice cabin with excellent access to Pere Marquette river. No cell service or wifi, that was a bit of a challenge. When I arrived the cabin was 82 inside with no window screens installed. I found the screens in the garage and installed them so I could make the inside bearable. The cabin seemed pretty duaty inside toiletries were scarce but I managed. I truly loved the cabin and its layout. There was ample room and outdoor furnishings available.

Cabin Getaway

My wife and I spent a week here and loved it. Location is right on the river and ~30 minutes from Ludington. Property was exactly as described, and owner was helpful answering any questions. Limited cell service, which was a blessing to make it a peaceful week up North.

Very Nice!

This is truly a superb property located on the South Branch of the Pere Marquette River. The new deck is beautiful, and compliments the open interior of the cottage. What a comfortable place! I consider this to be a great find, and highly recommend this property for your next stay along the "PM" river!
