About this property

Riverside Retreat: Beautiful River Views & Pet Friendly

  • Welcome to our serene riverfront cottage, a tranquil retreat nestled amidst the beauty of nature. If you're seeking peace, relaxation, & a touch of adventure, look no further. Our cottage offers a perfect blend of rustic charm & modern comforts, ensuring an unforgettable stay.

    There are many nearby lakes & rivers to explore and enjoy, including the Big Sable River off the back deck of the cottage. The North Country Trail is a half mile down the road for a close place to take an adventure.

    The space
    To enhance your outdoor experience, the house offers a fenced patio that provides privacy and while enjoying the river views. It's an ideal spot for relaxing, hosting intimate gatherings, or simply unwinding in the embrace of nature. The cottage offers a master bedroom with a king bed and a picturesque view of the river through the sliding glass doors and walk-out deck. A second bedroom offers privacy and comfort with a queen and twin bed off from the dining room. The living room, kitchen, and dining area provide a space for gathering and entertaining in the colder months with a tranquil view overlooking the river. The third bedroom is detached and features a knotty pine interior with a full bed and a twin bunk bed. While it is detached from the home and located in the garage, it has a wall heater and will keep you comfortable throughout your winter stay.

    Other things to note
    There are many nearby lakes and rivers to explore and enjoy, including the Big Sable River off the back deck of the cottage. The North Country Trail is a half mile down the road with breathtaking views of the Manistee National Forest, including a beautiful bridge over the Big Sable River a short walk away.
    The cottage is a great base camp for exploring the many miles of ORV trails Lake County has to offer. For fishermen and women, there are countless lakes and some of the best trout rivers in the state nearby with steelhead and salmon runs. For winter adventures, snowmobile trails are closeby, and skiing at Caberfae Peaks Ski & Golf Resort is a 30 minute drive. If you are looking for lakeshore beaches, Ludington and Manistee offer some of the best freshwater beaches in the country.

The location and home were just beautiful. Perfect for me and my two dogs. My dogs enjoyed the river right in the back yard and watching the squirrels through the big windows and glass doors. I enjoyed the comfy living room and eating out on the balcony. It was so easy and relaxing. The check in instructions were easy to follow.
