About This Home

As of June 2023

PERE MARQUETTE RIVER-BIG SOUTH BRANCH Welcome to a very special piece of up north serenity. Used year round as a vacation retreat this 3 bedroom/1 bath river side cabin is perched perfectly on the bank, steps from the water. Stairway into the water makes access to the swimming hole and stellar fishing area a breeze. Enjoying the custom-made stone fire pit or using the screened in porch are just a couple of great ways to enjoy the one-of-a-kind views both up and downstream from this special bend of the river. Long driveway, large lot surrounded by woods and a 2 stall garage make the back yard as tranquil as the front. Walking into the cabin you will be immediately drawn to the panoramic views as you are surrounded by windows looking out at the park like setting of trees, flowers and... wildlife. Close to many state and federal lands for hunting, river access and general enjoyment- the nearest being right at the end of the private drive. Open floor plan, cathedral ceilings, exposed beams and wood stove make this warm, cozy cabin extra inviting with room to invite friends and family. A must see to appreciate!
