About this property

Couples Retreat on the River.

Our cozy, comfortable cottage is for rent on the Sauble river in Lake County for the right individuals. It's the ideal place for someone that wants truly to experience Pure Michigan at its best!! Very secluded area,but offers some many cool things to do! Lakes and rivers are abundant in all directions! With Kayaks available at cottage.Ludington, Manistee, Traverse City, are all within reach also! This place is absolutely immaculate! We would love to keep it that way. Look at the pictures in detail! It is right on the river so summer months the bugs can be hungry! Also the stairs to the loft are somewhat narrow. If interested please contact us! Thanks. We feel it is most enjoyable as a couples retreat. We have a 3 night minimum and our maximum night stay is 5 nights. We can also do a 2 night stay but there will be a $50 up charge. Thank you. We do allow one small dog (25-30 pounds ) and there is a $75 pet fee.

Amazing

The cabin was spotless when we arrived, and there was a gift left for us on the counter! Everything about the cabin felt very welcoming. Watching the animals, soaking our feet in the river, and reading were some of our favorite activities. It's a very special place! Thank you Bernice and Jason, you were perfect hosts and the cabin was exactly what we wanted for our vacation.

Cabin on the river

What a place to stay. Talk about attention to detail this place has it all privacy, serenity animals popping in the yard. Me and my wife are so relaxed. We didn’t watch TV or listen to the radio. This is an excellent place to recharge and regroup. The landlords were excellent and the accommodations were everything you wanted them to be the cabin was very clean lots of extra blankets. And we had two six-point bucks in the velvet and the Front yard at one time. We will be booking again

Perfect Getaway

We have vacationed in this area several times and never stayed somewhere quite like this. Beautiful peaceful setting on a well maintained lot and impeccably clean inside. The owners are excellent in their communication and have thought of all the little details that make a stay special. We loved watching the river and the animals which frequent the yard. If you are up for a gorgeous hike, the Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness Area and Lake Michigan Recreation Area are about 30 minutes away and offer a spectacular 4 mile pristine undeveloped beach which is dog friendly. This cabin is a real gem and we hope to be back again. Thanks for such a relaxing visit!

Beautiful cabin in the woods. Very welcoming and clean, makes you feel at home. Watching the animals feed out the window was a great way to unwind. Can’t wait to retire up north 😊
