Riverfront cabin, on a secluded section of the Middle Branch, Pere Marquette
Welcome to the Swinging Fly cabin! Itâs a true cabin in the woods located on the Middle Branch of the Pere Marquette River in Baldwin Michigan (trout season applies on this section of river). Itâs been recently remodeled from top to bottom - itâs a gem to be enjoyed year round. The Swinging Fly is located on 8.2 acres of property which includes 1,320 feet of private river frontage. You can fish right out the back of the cabin, or a short five minute drive down the road and you're floating on the headwaters of the Pere Marquetteâs famous flies-only waters (year round fishing). There is also canoeing and hiking trails available. Try a section of North Country National Scenic Trail, it's the longest in the National Trails System, stretching 4,800 miles across eight states from North Dakota to Vermont and it passes right though the Huron-Manistee National Forest. Lake County also boasts 393 lakes, and 42 trout streams to explore within its boundaries.
Everything was as described and better. Beautiful cabin, property and river setting. Wildlife and fish abundant. Would stay again for adventure and rest.
Easy booking, Host was communicative, respectful of our time but available if needed (we did not need anything), cabin is clean and plenty spacious for us. Kitchen is good and island was nice to sit at.
An amazing cabin on a beautiful river, in a peaceful wooded setting!!! We travel a lot, this beautiful cabin is truly one of the best!!!! We stayed two weeks and wish we could stay two more weeks!! Location is fantastic. Very private yet close enough to groceries and restaurants. The owner is super communicative and helpful. The cabin is so well maintained , super clean and very well stocked. It is such a well thought out that as a renter you will need nothing. From supplies, to amazing fire pit from the deck on the river to the horseshoe pits/ the owner has thought of everything. So comfortable !!!!! We will be back again and again. 10 stars!!
We couldnât have been more pleased with our stay. Both the cabin and the setting are beautiful, and Charles is an excellent host! We canât wait to come back!
This is the second year in a row that we were lucky enough to stay at this wonderful place. The host was a great communicator from the beginning until the day we departed. He made sure the accommodations satisfied all of our expectations. We loved everything about The Swinging Fly and canât wait to go back.
Charles has a first-class rental, the attention to detail was over the top. Very informative, even helped secure kayak permits and gave us some tips on where to go. We like to try different places each year, but I can say this was by far the best place we've been in the last 5 yrs.
The cabin is beautifully tucked away and nestled in the woods, offering a peaceful and scenic retreat. Itâs a perfect place to relax, with plenty of room and a serene atmosphere.
I was thrilled to see fish jumping in the morningsâthis spot will be even more incredible during fishing season, and I plan to return with my wife.
Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature!â
Nice location overlooking river east of M-37. Cottage was well equipped. Owner made process for stay easy and efficient. We will likely book here again.
This is a small cabin on a branch of the beautiful Pere Marquette River. The view from the large dining area window is picturesque. The cabin is beautiful inside and provides everything you need -- the best stocked place I've ever stayed at, with a very nice kitchen that has all the cookware and utensils you could want and staples like coffee, cooking oil, spices, tinfoil, laundry soap, etc. The host is an unbelievably nice guy who will do most anything to make sure you have a great stay. I could not recommend this place more highly.
Charles was incredibly helpful and informative. We had a great time and the space was incredibly clean and tidy. Lots of dishes to use and extra linens. Great view of the river, we even saw a muskrat!
If arriving at night, it may be difficult to find if you don't stick to the Google Pin! Stick to the Google Pin!
Our family of four - Dad, Mom, & 2 teenagers, enjoy coming to our cabin for some quiet relaxation and outdoor activities, including drift boat fishing on the river, nature hikes, outdoor fires, horseshoes, riding ATVs nearby, and reading on the dock. We also love to take a dip in the river on hot days. Its a great spot to play catch or just put a float out tied to a anchor and relax with a favorite beverage in hand.
Great location on the river, peaceful and quiet area. Since we own both sides of the river, the view is ours to enjoy and lawn chairs in the river are never a issue. Itâs a great place for 2 families to come so the kids have friends because the third bedroom is detached but joined overhead by a roof over the breezeway, allowing space and privacy for sleeping.
