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.

Quiet family getaway
Our 3 kids loved sleeping in the same room together, using the swing set, and playing around in the river. My husband and I enjoyed the lawn games and sitting out by the fire pit at night. The farm down the road was so fun to visit too as was the ice cream shop in town. Property very private.

Wonderful family friendly home
Pride of ownership was evident from the moment we pulled up to the home! Beautiful property from the play place/sandbox, to the fire pit, to the gazebo, to the river, to the deck and finally into the house where it did not stop! Our 2 younger grandchildren (3 & 4) loved the children’s table and chairs and the rocker as well as all the toys and games. Our daughter-in-law loved the baby gate for the stairs, she said the owners thought of everything for renters with children! Great location for enjoying Cadillac, Lake City and beyond!
