Such a thoughtful, unassuming cabin, tucked along the Paint River in Iron River. The Riverhaus, on the western side of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, provides an ideal vintage setting which elicits those nostalgic feelings. The purposeful perspective of this home leaves you appreciating true vintage, which isn't equated with old or worn. The traditional front porch stretches the length of the home facing Paint River. There is privacy, comfort and a sense of relaxation which embodies the cabin. The cabin provides an open concept to the way life once was. Watching a movie on the pull-down screen is special. Although the cabin is small, its openness allows you to easily traverse between the rooms.

The kitchen has your basic needs covered, with the simple, open access to your plates, bowls and glasses. The Master bedroom is on the main level, a second bedroom upstairs and a loft with a two (2) twin beds.

Professional nomads will appreciate the designated work space. Plus, there is even a washer/dryer for any laundry needs during you stay.

The Riverhaus is the ideal, classic cabin get-away which will capture your mind and soul. Don't forget to carve out time to relax at night by the fire pit with your small group of favorite people.
