About this property

Tranquil Escanaba River front cottage, newly renovated, great fishing!

Fishing for a great place to stay? You’ll love this vacation cottage on the Big Escanaba River, in Cornell Michigan. Terrific trout fishing right out the front door. The trophies on the walls of the cottage were all caught nearby, and the owner will leave instructions on how you can catch your own fish of a lifetime. It’s all here, from huge spring steel-head to fall king, Atlantic and humpback salmon, to lake-run brown and brook trout. All that can be found here, plus mountain biking, hiking, or just plain relaxing.
This has been our favorite get-a-way from the hustle and bustle for several years, and what attracted us most to this property was the woods in every direction (no neighbors in sight) and a classic trout stream out front. Our days were filled with relaxing on the beautiful deck overlooking the famous Escanaba river, and lulled by the tranquil evening sounds of the river.
The Cottage is newly renovated and equipped with modern appliances, all new bedding, and linens. Just beyond the kitchen is a spacious eating area where you can relax, unwind, enjoy a meal and create your best memories. After dinner retreat to the living room where you will find comfortable couches, chairs and hand picked stone fireplace. The Big Trout Cottage offers a master bedroom downstairs that sleeps 2, and a finished loft bedroom upstairs that sleeps 5. The cottage is conveniently equipped with Dish Cable TV, WiFi, and a land line.
So whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, a family retreat to create memories for your children, or looking for that new fishing hole, the Big Trout Cottage has it all.

The property is exactly as advertised. It's well equipped and very comfortable. The location is surprisingly easy to find and about as tranquil as can be. I plan on booking again next fall if at all possible.

Our Wilderness Retreat

Our third stay. Can’t say enough good things about the home and location. An Eagle flew overhead when we were getting in the car to leave. A spiritual end to another fulfilling stay.

Slice of heaven

This property is so beautiful. Perfect getaway for rest and relaxation. Beautiful setting surrounded by nature. Trees, river, wildlife. I believe there are more deer and turkey in the area than people! Deer came.into the yard daily to snack on apples. The cottage itself is very clean, comfortable and accommodating. We had a fire every night

Family Vacation

We had the best time in the UP! The cabin was beautiful and the location was more than I could’ve ever hoped for. I feel completely refreshed and my husband is already begging for another visit to this property in the fall.

Stunning place!

House was perfect. Furnished beautifully, amenities all up to date and functioning. Location is truly stunning with incredible views of the river. The SOUND of the river was really remarkable. Very soothing and continuous. Outstanding trout fishing upstream and down from the house. Wading can be very tricky when the water is high, but when it’s low, this house is truly a fly fishers dream. We will be back!!

Wilderness Retreat

This home is our go to spot for a wilderness retreat. Modern, solid, well equipped and situated on a beautiful river in a setting that is away from it all. The sounds of the river and wildlife really make you forget what you left behind. Throughout our travels to the home we have seen bear and deer. At the home we have had deer moving in and out of the yard as if we weren’t sitting out there. Eagles, the wolves in the distance at night, world class trout fishing and satellite tv! What more could you want?! I LOVE this place!

Must stay

I didn’t want to come back home. Listening to the constant river flow and nature was absolute peace. The cabin had more than everything I needed, very cozy and clean. Going into town was very interesting, a lot of history to learn. Make Rosie’s diner a must stop for breakfast or lunch. Bob and Nancy were fantastic, knowledgeable and great conversation. I hope to come back again. If you’re hesitant on booking, this is your sign to just book it.

Beauty and serenity

We had some issues with our stay but they were largely out of anyone’s hands. The mosquitoes this year have been horrible and they were so bad we couldn’t even step outside as we were swarmed. They were coming down chimney in droves and we spent our nights killing mosquitoes non-stop. The owner and property manager were apologetic and offered to make it right. What more can you ask? The property is beautiful and the river is gorgeous. Tons of wildlife, secluded location and a well supplied house. Other than the mosquitoes we felt like we were staying with family. Very cozy. Thank you for working with us to make things right! We will be back 😃

Great experience

Cabin was fantastic as seen on the web site. The View is absolutely spectacular and if lucky can see a variety of natures wildlife. i.e., Deer, Eagles, Duck etc. The owner is a vary gracious host and has a encyclopedia of knowledge of fly fishing which he is eager to share to make your vacation a memorable experience.
