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.

What a great stay. The pics do not do the place justice. Seems too often the opposite is true. Clean, renovated, right on the river where we caught a few trout, and peaceful. Whole family loved it.

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.

Fishing Trip

Everything about the house is perfect. The newly built deck is amazing. The stairs that lead down to river is awesome. It has all the amenities you need. Overall, it’s a clean, small, cozy cottage home, a place where you can get away and unwind. I definitely would like to come back next year in the spring or fall.

Wonderful Getaway

We had a wonderful sibling's weekend here with a group from 40yo-7yo. We love the natural setting. The cabin is well-equipped. We had a movie night each night with the large collection of DVDs. We also brought our own tubes and took advantage of the river. WIFI is sparse, but that actually was an advantage when engaging our teen and tweens. We loved this place.

Fishing trip

We stayed at the cabin on the river . We saw some salmon in the river behind the cabin but we fished the same location that we always have for years. Loved the cabin and all the convenient things that it had . It was not far from a nice sports bar with live entertainment. The only thing that would have made it better was if it Wi-Fi but we didn’t really miss it.id stay there again.

Best Cottage on the River

This was our third year here for a week. We love love the new deck and siding! Such a treasure I hate sharing how much we love this place for fear it will be booked up when I want to stay. Very homey and comfortable! It’s the next best thing to owning the place myself. ur favorite place to get away for a peaceful week. And our dogs come too because they love the big back yard and sitting on the river deck watching the fish go by. A++
