very nice
I think this is our best rental we have stayed at in Michigan. There are places that say they are right on something. Both of these cottages that are there to rent are right on the river. it is really nice to find somewhere you really want to go back to , and this is that kind of stay. Dave is super nice and the care of the places really shows.

Weekend getaway
We decided to book a last minute weekend getaway to do some dirt biking and got the added benefit of getting to do some pretty spectacular fishing right outside the back door of the house. Would highly recommend Dave’s place and we look forward to staying again in the future.

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.

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.
