Lj's River Cottage Up North

LJ's River Cottage accommodations include a two story cottage, living/ dinning room, full kitchen, bathroom, jacuzzi tub, stand up shower and direct t.v. Upstairs a large room with two queen size beds and two roll away beds. There is also a deck with chairs. Every thing is fully stocked and furnished.Shared fire pit and dock to the beautiful Manistee River. The priority is backed up to miles of state land. With miles of two tracks for your four wheeling pleasure or snowmobiling.There is also a state access shooting range along with a public access boat ramp. We by law are not able to turn down service dogs. However, we don’t recommend having service animals at our location. We are nestled in the woods and require using poison to keep the critters out of the cabin. This makes it unsafe for pets/ service animals.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa and John Pfeiffenberger

Host profile image
My husband John and I (Lisa) raised 6 children in historical district of Traverse City Michigan. It was always our plan once we became empty nesters to purchase a home on the Manistee river. So in 2014 our dreams came true as we bought our home on the river backed up to miles of state land. We now have 8 grandchildren and enjoy the time we get to spend with them. John and I remodeled the cottage that is on our property for a vacation rental. We wanted to share this beautiful area with others. Ever since we moved it here we have felt like we were on vacation.

Why they chose this property

This property is on the upper part of the manistee river and backed up to miles of state land. The boat launch is a minute down the river from our cottage and house. The wheeling,snowmobile,two tracks, hunting,fishing,kayaking,tubing,and snowshoeing are fantastic.
