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.

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.

Return to a special place
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!
