This home enjoys a beautiful view of the Pine River. The Pine is the best in the Midwest for canoeing, kayaking, rafting, as well as fishing and hunting. The Pine is a designated Michigan Natural River, a Federal "Wild and Scenic" River, and a "Blue Ribbon Trout Stream."
There is abundant wildlife to view right out the living room window. A spacious deck invites you to relax and enjoy those warm summer days and starlit evenings.
Through the Pine River Paddlesports Center, you can arrange to take a canoe, kayak, or raft trip that ends up right back at the house.
The trail head for the Silver Creek Pathway is a 5-minute walk from the house. The Lincoln Hills ORV State Trail is just 1/4 mile up the road and connects the snowmobilers and ORV'ers to miles of trails that continue through Lake, Wexford, and Manistee counties. Caberfae Ski Area is just a 15 minute drive from the home.
Property abuts thousands of acres of Pere Marquette State Forest and Manistee National Forest lands. Superb hunting and fishing area.
No Smoking, Please.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2000
Hi, I'm Val. My husband, Mark, and I grew up in Cadillac. We have 2 children, Annie and Jacob. We home-schooled Annie thru 12th grade and Jacob thru 4th grade. Jacob graduated from Heritage Christian School. Annie just graduated from Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, and is teaching in Walker. Mark, who has a passion for the Pine River and loves to paddle, began a canoe livery service on the Pine River in 1971. I worked summers for Mark for several years while I was attending college. I obtained my teaching certificate and a B.S. Degree. Mark and I consider it a blessing to be able to live in Northern Michigan, and make a living doing what we enjoy.
Why the Owner Chose Cadillac
We built 2 homes on the Pine River. We wanted to sell one, however, until a buyer comes along we are renting it as the Pine River Vacation Rental. We have enjoyed the many guests we have hosted there and consider many our friends, and look forward to their return each year.
The Unique Benefits of this House
The location of the Pine River Vacation Rental is surrounded by state and federal public land. Things to do 'out-the-back-door' would include: paddling, fishing, swimming, hiking (or) x-country skiing the marked and maintained trail nearby, snowmobiling, hunting, outdoor grilling and picnicking next to the river, and relaxing on the spacious deck(s). Up the road a 1/2 mile is the snowmobile and ORV trail system. Eight miles north is Caberfae Ski Area. 55 miles north is Traverse city, 45 miles west is Lake Michigan.

“Had a great 2 days paddling the Pine. Great sunshine, campfire, cozy bed, and beautiful scenery. Most of all I enjoyed the company and laughter with my sister, Carolyn. We’re planning our next adventure!”

“Beautiful, spacious home inside and out! We are sad to be leaving. We enjoyed watching the closing day ceremonies of the Summer Olympics on our first night and then spent the rest of the week exploring the area or relaxing here: went to Manistee for a day trip; went to Frederik Meijer Sculpture Garden in Grand Rapids, and went to the Grand Rapids Whitecaps vs. Great Lakes Loons minor baseball game; took a 2-hour canoe trip and also spent some innertube time on the Pine River; read books and ate breakfast on the deck and watched the river go by; went into town (Luther) to check email at the library and to mail some postcards; wandered in the cemetrary and admired the military service of so many residents of Luther; hiked the Silver Creek Trail. Loved watching the river flow by and enjoyed waving to people as they paddled along. Thank you Mark, for your great teaching to make sure we were ready to canoe down the river—your quiz really helped jus and we put every one of your tips into action. The one that helped the most (over & over) was sticking the paddle in and pulling the water towards me when trying to avoid an obstruction! Thanks for a great week!”

“We had a great time here. Monday we went sightseeing up the coast of Lake Michigan, Tuesday we spent the day on Mackinac Island, Wednesday we hiked the Silver Creek Trail, and Thursday we went for a four hour canoe trip down the Pine River. Each night we returned to the peace and quiet of this beautiful home. Jeff finally caught a few fish our last night here. Thanks Annie for the fishing tips – it makes for a happier Jeff.”

To anyone looking for a great place to have a superb vacation, look no further! The pictures and words describing this property do not do it justice. You will be pleasantly surprised at just what a gem this place is. It's a stone throw from the Pine River, adjacent to canoe / kayak put in. Hiking trails nearbly. Immaculate newer home with comfy beds and awesome views. Great hosts... I am told that the fishing, hunting and snowmobiling are great - but we were there for the hiking and paddling. I have rented more than a few vacation homes and this is right up there with the best of them. Do not hesitate! It's the overall best value in the history of mankind!! (We had a great time!!)
