Relaxing cozy cabin on beautiful Pere Marquette River - Recently Renovated!!

Beautiful cabin property located between Ludington and Baldwin on the Big South branch of the Pere Marquette river. We have added the home next door as a 3 BR rental also, VRBO ID 9368622, search Branch Township, MI and look for the description that says "Beautiful Cabin with Gorgeous Riverbend View". Or, Google "VRBO Property HA 9368622" and look for "beautiful Cabin with Gorgeous Riverbend View". Come for the great fishing, quiet relaxation, kayaking or tubing down the river, or hiking in nearby Manistee National Forest trails. This cabin is situated literally on the bank of the Pere Marquette River. It has gorgeous views of the river and is conveniently located approximately 30 min from Ludington or 1hour from Muskegon. Popular destinations all within an hour's drive include Pentwater, Hart and the Silver Lake Sand Dunes, Ludington and Manistee. Rockers on the porch are a great spot for relaxing or having a cocktail while viewing the outdoors and river, or sit at the fire pit in the evening and roast marshmallows. Lots of wildlife including eagles, deer, blue herons, salmon, and many wild birds to enjoy. Also a great spot for hunters and fishermen looking for comfortable, modern lodging while enjoying the great outdoors. Conveniently located 1 mile from a local store, bar, and restaurant.

All of our beds have really comfortable, memory foam mattresses. We have a new 55" smart TV and offer YouTube TV streaming service.

The property was very clean, well taken care of and just like the pictures showed. It was very quiet and peaceful with great scenery and wonderful views. The short walk to the bridge at the end of the road resulted in our family enjoying a 1.5 hour tube float back to the cabin. Everything is a short drive (about 30 mins) from the cabin. It was a great time and we will definitely return for a future vacation.

Family Weekend

We stay with our four adult kids (18-22) for three nights. Our stay could not have been better. The place was clean, well kept and the perfect size for our group. We enjoyed relaxing tmornings and evenings by the river. The directions and all the information we recieved up front was very helpful. We were 45 min or less from all the activities we wanted to do (Pentwater, Siver lk sand dunes, Pine river canoe). We will be booking again next year.

Great Spot!

Loved the set up of the home, my husband and I (Grandma and Grandpa) were able to be on one side of the house in far bedroom, while daughter, her husband and our grandbabies were on the other side! River is beautiful, and listening to it in the middle of the night is heavenly!

Riverview Cabin

Very peaceful and relaxing. The kitchen is fully stocked. Everything you need is there. We always do our own cooking and there wasn’t anything missing. The cabin was very clean and the directions spot on. Do print them up though as GPS is spotty. Great WiFi in the cabin. We will be staying here again!!

Beautiful place

We had an amazing time The cabin/house was clean and fully furnished with everything we needed. If you want a relaxing no stress vacation taking in the beauty of the Pere Marquette River and wild life this is your place. We saw a bald eagle fly over the river, turkeys in the front yard and lots of deer. My 12y/o daughter and the dog did not want to leave. We will definitely be back.

Memorial Weekend Relaxation

My husband and mom and I all stayed at this comfortable, clean rental for the weekend. Our main attraction was to attend a family wedding in the area. This was a perfect spot for us. We were impressed with the great directions we received before arrival. The furniture was comfortable including the beds. Having everything on one floor was awesome for my 80 year old mother. The deck was perfect for relaxing between wedding activities. We really enjoyed the quiet country road for walking the dogs. Also it was very convenient to have a few local dining spots to enjoy. The wifi worked fine gor helping us stay in touch with family. My favorite experience was definitely the rocking chairs on the deck with the river view. We spent some time in the front yard as well for the warmth of the sun. We enjoyed seeing deer, turkeys and a lot of different birds. There was a handrail for helping to get up the front door steps. If you are looking for a quiet spot to enjoy nature, this would be a great spot. We are very grateful to have had this beautiful retreat.
