About this property
Riverfront cabin, on a secluded section of the Middle Branch, Pere Marquette
Welcome to the Swinging Fly cabin! It’s 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). It’s been recently remodeled from top to bottom - it’s 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 Marquette’s 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.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Charles Brammer
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.
Why they chose this property
Its close to everything, yet secluded. We almost never see anyone pass by on this section of river.
What makes this property unique
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. It’s 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.
