About this property

Pere Marquette River 'Green Cottage' -Fly's Only Section

This cute fishing cabin has the US Forest Service 'Green Cottage Access Site' named after it. It is located on over a mile of private riverfront land in the middle of the 'Flies Only - Catch and Release' section of the Pere Marquette River. Right next door is its bigger brother: 'Red Cabin'. Come to fish, kayak, canoe or just relax on the deck overlooking the river. Kayak, canoe rentals, and grocery store just a mile away.

You will have access to the entire 80 acres to hike, fish or just relax. The cabin, built in the 1930's, has been written up in many fly fishing books as one of the best fly fishing areas for natural reproducing German Brown Trout, Steelhead and of course the Fall Salmon run. No phones, internet - just peace and quiet 'river time'. While not fancy, its location on the river is second to none. A perfect place if you enjoy the river and outdoors.

It is closed for the winter Dec-March. Please see the 'Red Cabin' listing for this time period.

Great time at Maggies
Had a wonderful few days at Maggies with my 2 teen sons. It s nice property, comfortable, clean and updated. The hosts were great as well. Very responsive and welcoming. Plenty of wildlife in the area. Deer and wild turkeys every day right outside. Very close to fishing. Walking distance to Wakely bridge access.

Stunning views
The cottage is amazingly situated on the Pere Marquette River. Nothing beats the view from the living room windows onto the river right outside the cottage. If you are a fly fisherman/woman, this is the place to be! The only disappointing moment was the lack of deep cleaning in the cottage. Beds and kitchen counter were clean, though. Loved the range of dishes and appliances in the kitchen, very convenient but I would wash them before use.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in 2001 and have enjoyed the peacefulness of the river and woods ever since.

This cabin is situated within 10 ft. off the river with excellent access to fishing, kayaking or canoeing. During the summer months, the Forest Service limits rental kayaks/canoes/rafts access from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. only.
