About this property

This single family home sits on the edge of the Big South Branch of the Pere Marquette River. An open floor plan with expansive views of the river and a large deck to sit and enjoy the view. It has all the amenities that you will need!

Please see our other rental next door, VRBO Property ID 4756866

Being that we are right on a National Blue Ribbon Trout Stream, fishing is a great attraction but not the only one. You can also kayak or canoe the river or just float down on a tube. Sitting on our deck allows you to relax and enjoy the view. There are many small lakes around that you can visit and fish. We are about 30 minutes to Lake Michigan towns of Ludington or Pentwater. which both offer unique shops, waterfront vistas and nice restaurants and bars. Hart is located about 25 minutes away and is the gateway to Silver Lake State Park and Dunes, a huge recreational complex situated between Silver Lake and Lake Michigan. You can go and climb the dunes and walk to Lake Michigan or ride the world famous Mac Woods Dune Scooters. To the north about 1 hour on Lake Michigan is Manistee, a quaint local village and home to the Little River Casino. You can continue to the north on the scenic M-22 roadway, which is a beautiful car ride along Lake Michigan and it takes you through small towns like Onekema, Arcadia, Frankfurt, Empire and Glen Arbor. Empire is home to the famous Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. At that point you are only a few miles from Traverse City. There are many local breweries in these towns and up north you have many beautiful wineries that offer very tasty wines and tours.

About the host

Hosted by Dave Nielsen

I am a retired businessman, having sold my packaging business 3 years ago. My wife Sue and I have 2 daughters who now have families of their own. We live adjacent to this property to the north.

Why they chose this property

My Dad built this unique home in 1976. He had purchased a barn and then used a lot of the wooden beams and barnwood in constructing this home right on the river. It is grandfathered in and you can no longer build right on top of the river any more. They lived here over 40 years and then my sister has lived here for the past 3 years. We weren't quite ready to see it sold, so we decided to purchase it and to rent it out.
