About this property

Serene Riverfront Retreat

10% Discount for 7 or more days stay!

Four Seasons of Northern Michigan Fun in this Newly Remodeled Chalet Style Home. Situated on 4+ acres nestled in the woods on the Beautiful Clam River. Just mins to Cadillac and Lake City. Surrounded by wildlife galore. 1/2 Mile to Organic Farmer's Market (In season). Minutes to several All-Sports Lakes for fishing and swimming.

**The Clam river is beautiful to wade in, to splash and cool off or to catch minnows, it’s usually about knee deep, not good for kayaking or fishing.

Perfect for:
*Family Vacation (Kid Friendly)
*Golf- within five minutes
*Fall Color Tour
*Hunting/Fishing
*Mushrooming
*Winter Sports- Ski mountains 20-45 minutes away.
*Secluded Getaway
*Romantic Getaway
*Book Club
*Greatest Fourth in the North
*Festival of the Pines
*Harvest Gathering Music Festival

Three Bedrooms plus a loft. (Please be aware of the sleeping arrangements, there are three single beds in a bedroom upstairs, another single in a second bedroom up, and a king sized bed in the loft upstairs. There are two queen options on the main level, one in a bedroom and the second is a pull out sofa.)

*Quiet time is 10pm, this is not a party spot. While we welcome up to ten people, we do not encourage a party or family reunion. (It’s hard on the well and septic system to have any more people than ten.) No fireworks! Too many other homes and it’s heavily wooded.

Plenty of parking for Several Vehicles.

Amazing Stay

The property was exactly as advertised. We had plenty of room inside as well as outside the house. The property was well maintained along with the home. The yard was perfect for us as we hung out on Saturday and played yard games the entire day and enjoyed the wonderful fire pit at night. I would definitely stay there again!

Well kept and manicured. House is super clean and has everything you think you need for your stay, and then more!

Perfect snow getaway

The home is so cute and fun. We got away for a family snow weekend. Went skiing 30 min to the west and the kids had fun. Would recommend a little space heater for one of the rooms as if the door is closed, it gets cold. Very clean and well stocked kitchen!

Perfect home for a family!!!

This home made my family trip so easy and fun. Lot of toys, inside and outside. The swing set with slide was perfect to keep the kids busy outside while you sit and enjoy the fire. Very clean home. I am definitely planning on going back cause my kids loved being there. Thank you Denise for being so available.
