About this property

River Retreat on Thunder Bay River!

Come home to your own piece of heaven in the north woods of Northeastern Michigan Elk Country!

This spectacular white cedar full log cabin/home is nestled amongst a mixture of towering, evergreen pine and hardwoods with your very own beautiful 323' frontage of the Thunder Bay River, designated as a blue-ribbon trout stream, running by the front yard. The cabin/home looks and feels very secluded yet town is just a short walk away. You can grab a kayak from the kayak holder and launch right from the front yard. After a pleasant one hour river float you can get out at the township park.

You can connect with ATV/snowmobile trail #4 and #9 right from the cabin/home at the end of the gravel driveway, and ATV's can be driven on the edge of Montmorency County roads!

A screen room, located next to the woods, gives you additional outdoor space to relax and enjoy watching the birds and animals without them noticing you are there. And then there is that great cabin front porch...where you can sit and rock, or enjoy the porch swing, while watching the ducks, Louie the loon, and other wildlife at the river.

If that's not close enough for you, take a cup of coffee to the dock and enjoy sitting at the river's edge for a closer look at that eagle flying by. You can even catch smallmouth bass right off the dock. Or lay back on the hammocks next to the dock and watch the birds fly over you in the sky. Try not to fall asleep if you can, or go ahead and fall asleep if you want to.

Pull some wood off the firewood shelter and start a campfire in the fire pit. You can sit comfortably around the fire in heavy Adirondack chairs and plan your next adventure while munching on s'mores. Don't worry if the power goes out, (it rarely does), because there is a whole house, bunkhouse and garage generator that automatically turns on if the power goes out and automatically turns off when power is restored. You don't even have to lift a finger!

All this and we haven't even talked about the inside of this stunning custom built "up north" cabin/home which comes completely furnished! Come see it for yourself!

Up north get away
We had a wonderful time up north at this beautiful log cabin home. We saw otters in the sream, a blue heron flew down to fish for trout. We saw 2 pilated woodpeckers, deer, and heard and were able to get video of a grouse drumming. We took a couple of the kayaks for a ride and sipped our cofffee in the mornings on the porch while watching the birds. Cooked perch we caught at Fletchers over the fire at night. Wonderfully stocked, and clean place to vacation. We will be back with our kids and Grandkids in the Spring. Thank you so much for a great relaxing time!

Perfect Cabin Getaway
We loved our stay! Upon arriving I noticed how clean the cabin was. We had everything we needed! Plenty of outdoor seating, a beautiful river that my 8 and 10 year olds loved playing in. It came up to their knees but pretty shallow and perfect for play. The beds are super soft which I loved. Thanks for sharing your beautiful place!

The best stay
Myself and eight girls stayed here and not one of us had a single bad thing to say! It was extremely clean, quiet and succeeded but close enough to town if we needed something and gorgeous. We will all be back!
