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.

Enjoyed everything about our stay! Very clean, cozy cabin. Loved all the details added to the cabin decor and being able to feed & watch the animals. Thank you!
Just what we were looking for. Listening to the sound of the river and the birds was all you hear there. Very relaxing. Cabin is very nice and the owners communicated very well.

lovely cabin for a quiet weekend
We loved staying here for a quiet fall weekend. The cottage is cozy, extremely clean and well maintained, and has lots of wildlife around. We'd love to come back sometime!
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.
Had a great time watching the wildlife & relaxing. You can tell the owners love this place, very well cared for. Kitchen is well stocked with spices, olive oil, coffee filters, etc. to get you started.
We can't say enough good things about our stay here. It was so relaxing and scenic with lots of wildlife to enjoy. The hosts were super accommodating and helpful, and the cabin was clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend!!
Fantastic cabin in the woods with tons of wildlife. Cabin is super clean and stocked with everything you need for a couples weekend. The hosts are very friendly and have excellent communication . Look forward to staying here again.
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 😊
Great place for quite rest and recreation. Love the detail of the house and the orderly manner of all that was there. Me and my wife were greatly please with the stay. Had fun and quite.
We really enjoyed this cute, clean cabin on the river. The place is beautifully furnished and has everything you need to be comfortable. It is close to great hiking trails and kayaking. We would highly recommend the property. It exceeded our expectations!
Booked this place for a weekend getaway to rest, relax, and recharge. Could not have picked a better place. The cottage was perfect for the occasion and great for spending time indoors and outdoors. Highly recommend.
We couldn’t have chosen a better place to just get away together! The cottage is beautiful, the wildlife was such blessing to watch everyday, especially the deer! The river flowing was such a peaceful sound! We loved everything about our couples retreat!

Lovely private retreat
A charming, comfortable, beautifully decorated cabin on the river. Very private and peaceful. Owners were wonderful to work with. If you need to get away from it all for a bit, you can't go wrong here! Very highly recommended.
