About this property

Both Lake and River frontage! Great fishing!

What a great place for the avid angler or the family looking for a quiet get away. This fully restored cottage has a large, private yard perfect for relaxing and features 200+ ft of frontage on Flowage lake, which is famous for it's pike and bass fishing. Also included is frontage on the West Branch of the Rifle River for some of the best trout fishing in the state. A canoe and 3 kayaks are available for guest's use at no charge. When not enjoying the lake and river, you can entertain yourself with the pool table, Foosball table or other games included in the walk out basement. Other amenities include a lake side deck, a river side patio with outdoor fireplace, BBQ grill, washer and dryer, 3 televisions, and central air conditioning. The town of West Branch features great shopping including a Walmart and a Meijers store, a Dunhams Sporting goods store, and a ridiculous number of terrific restaurants, many of whom will deliver right to your door.

It's quite a charming and unique cottage. We enjoyed all of the fishing bling. We were a bit early for fishing, but managed to lose a few lures below the dam. A nice weekend getaway to a comfy cottage. We'll book again. Thanks.

Winter Getaway

Wonderful place and location…if you are fishing, definitely check the seasonal limitations/ rules on the river with regards to closings on parts of the river for fishing.

Thank you for staying! Michigan fishing rules do apply. While the lake is open for fishing all year, the river is only open during trout season, which is May through September.

Thanks for staying. That's the trade off with rain - it usually improves the fishing, but makes it a little less comfortable to do.
