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.

Pics Don’t Do it Justice
If you are looking for a beautiful scenic place this is it. Forrests country and quiet. Host was great kept us informed got final info prior to arrival. Cabin was tastefully decorated and steps away from the stream. For items you may need or forget Wal Mart and stores are somewhat of a short drive. Host has the items you need as to towels utensils etc. but we brought our own. Safe location also. Deer outside cabin and squirrels. Never saw so many black squirrels before. So if your looking for a great place to go and if the fish timing is good I recommend it.

Wonderful Fall Retreat
My husband and I, along with our two sons (5 & 2) and husband’s parents enjoyed a long weekend at the cabin. It has everything you need in the kitchen, and was well stocked all around. The set up is quite nice and the bedrooms are spread out. Everyone said the beds were comfortable. The view of the river is even better than the pictures show. We enjoyed fishing on the riverbank, and my son caught his first fish! We also used the campfire and saw lots of wildlife including deer, turkey, and lots of salmon swimming upstream. The leaves were changing as well which was an additional treat. We would love to come back again.

Our second year at the cabin and it was so relaxing. The salmon started running upriver during our stay - fun to watch and a neat fishing challenge. Dave's a great host. Thanks again for having us!

Hidden Gem!
This was the perfect place for our family vacation. Plenty of space for our crew of 7, our teenager’s friend, and 2 dogs. We tubed down the river, fished, had nightly fires, played board games and yard games. We relaxed in hammocks and on the rocking chairs on the covered porch. The house offered all the comforts of home and is absolutely adorably decorated with plenty of space for family breakfasts and dinners. Air conditioning worked great (important for me because I have asthma) and we never ran out of hot water- even with all of us showering! There is a washer and dryer which was such a blessing and much needed! The owners are absolutely wonderful and communication with them was excellent. The location is great- off the beaten path but close enough for trips to Ludington, Pentwater, and Silver Lake - all within about 30 minutes from the house. I really can’t say enough good things about our experience. We will definitely be back next summer! Thank you Dave and Sue!
