Cozy & Private Upper Michigan Riverfront Cottage With 970 ft. Of River Frontage!

Beautiful, Private and peaceful setting! 1 large bedroom cottage in Michigan's Upper Penninsula. The Cottage is located in Republic Michigan and sits on 12.5 acres and 970 ft of frontage on the Michigamme River. Very private, easy access, which is just about 100 yards off the Highway, so easily accessible in the summer and fall with any vehicle. Great kayaking river, nearby ATV and Snowmobile trails, many nearby lakes offering great Walleye, Northern Pike, Bass, and Panfish. There are also many nearby Trout streams, and Good Deer, Grouse Hunting. Our Cabin is easily accessible and very private. Enjoy beauty of our flowing river while relaxing on the porch with your morning cup of coffee. Then enjoy kayaking, canoeing, fishing, or just relaxing on the shoreline. You Will have 970 feet of river frontage to enjoy. There are many Bald Eagles, Deer, Turkey, and Occasionally Moose in the area. You will have the entire property to yourself and the surrounding wildlife. This Cottage is located 45 minutes from Iron Mountain, Michigan and 45 Minutes from Marquette Michigan. This is a nice central location to take in many beautiful U.P. attractions with an hour or less drive.


Great deer hunting during the Michigan bow and gun deer seasons. lots of public land.

Great Location for ATV, UTV's, All Terrain Vehicles. There are many miles of roads and trails that are easily accessible and also many small remote lakes and streams to explore.

Book early for snowmobile season!! the cottage is located very close to trail number 5. very easy access and a nice warm cabin to return to after a long day on the trail.

There are also many ice fishing opportunities in the area, so if you are interested in trying ice fishing, there are many nearby lakes with good fishing for Bluegills, Crappie, Northern Pike, Walleye, Yellow Perch. If you are new to ice fishing, and want to give it a try, I would be happy to provide some assistance if available.

If you are interested in a Great Lakes Charter fishing trip, there are a couple of charters available in on Lake Superior that offer great Lake Trout fishing and only about an hour and a half drive from our cottage. if interested, please ask and I will gladly give you some contacts for a great charter fishing trip.

The Marquette area, which is only about 45 minutes has many great dining options, shopping.

Michigamme River Cabin Paradise
We experienced an awesome 8 night stay at this cabin, which is quite cozy and had everything we needed. The location is superb, on the Michigamme River, and with many small, beautiful lakes within a very short drive. We fished as much as possible during the week, and host Ken was most gracious with recommendations and maps to various nearby lakes and rivers for us to try. We were able to catch pike, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleye, and bluegill. We brought our own kayaks, but as noted, there are kayaks available at the cabin for use on the river – we would highly recommend a float, with the current being calm enough to paddle up or down river with ease. The wildlife in and around the property is amazing, including those we saw (Ravens, Common Loons and many other birds, bobcat, deer, beaver, etc.) and heard (wolves, fox, Barred Owls, Ruffed Grouse, Whip-poor-will, Common Loons, etc.). Although we had hoped to see wolves, bear, and/or moose, it didn’t happen this trip, but we know that they are in the area. This cabin is in a great location to use as a base camp for exploring anything in the western UP. Internet access was a challenge at times, but with a little patience and/or a short walk outside, we could connect as needed. We cannot wait to come back again. Thank you to Ken and Sara for being the best hosts we have experienced to date. If you like wild things and being away from it all, rent this cabin and you will not be disappointed!

Wonderful little cabin right on the Michigamme river
This is a wonderful, secluded, private little cabin right on the Michigamme river in the west side of Michigan's U.P. Cabin is clean and comfortable and exceptionally well equipped with a fire pit, a pellet smoker, and sitting area overlooking the river. The kitchen has everything you need, and the water is good to drink so no need to lug it with you. The area around the cabin is stunning, with mature trees providing shade following a clear area along the river offering a place to play or fish the river. Saw lots of animal tracks/scat including bear/deer/turkey. Saw lots of deer/turkey in the area. We didn't have time to fish, but the river was calling us! Ken and Sara quickly responded to any inquiries. Location is about 30 minutes from Ishpeming where you can find grocery stores; about 50 minutes to Marquette; about 90 minutes to Munising and the start of Pictured Rocks National Shoreline; and about 90 minutes to Escanaba which has a great public beach on Lake Michigan. There are many close-by water-falls, lakes for fishing/kayaking, and trails for hiking. We couldn't possibly have explored them all! Couple of things to be aware of. -The cabin is only 300 feet from the highway. So at 0530 every morning you start hearing the big trucks coming down the hill, over the bridge, and back up the hill. NBD if you are an early riser, but it could be a problem (and was for us as we had several late nights after making lengthy drives to the east side of the UP (Mackinaw

River cabin
My wife and I really enjoyed our trip to Republic the fish weren’t biting while we were there so we did a lot of exploring some other great UP spots. Location was nice for going to Marquette or Iron Mountain and Crystal Falls. Kens garden was a nice bonus if you’re into that kinda stuff, I really liked it. Definitely would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Sara Burke

Host profile image
Sara and I are both from the area, and with working many weekends, we decided to list our property for others to enjoy. We love to fish and enjoy the Upper Penninsula outdoors, and as hosts, we can let others enjoy this beautiful private cottage. We both love to fish and travel around the UP and Northern Wisconsin and are very familiar with the area attractions, so don’t hesitate to ask for ideas on places to see or directions. We want our guests to have a great time and enjoy their stay, and we welcome you to our cottage!

Why they chose this property

This property has been in our family for 30 plus years and chose it because of the easy access and privacy. there are many great lakes and streams for fishing and great hunting, and located just 45 minutes from Marquette, 45 minutes from Iron Mountain, and about 50 minutes to Escanaba, and 1 hour from Baraga/Laanse on the West side of the UP. It’s a great location to see much of the UP with less than an hour drive. There is a nice little beach area in Republic, which is only 5 miles and also a bar and restaurant.

What makes this property unique

very private! with almost 1000 feet of river frontage, this property has great kayaking, canoeing, great smallmouth bass, Walleye, and Northern Pike fishing, and very close to ATV and Snowmobile trails. great fishing and hunting in the area. Many nearby lakes and trout streams and large areas of public hunting land nearby.
