About This Home

As of May 2019

Welcome to 959' of the Little South Branch of the Pere Marquette River! This cute little cabin sits literally a few feet away from the river's edge and offers 2 bedrooms, large windows, great views, and a stone fireplace. The roof is newer and it also has new beautiful knotty pine interior. The property is accessed through an easement so it is secluded but still close to convenience, located on a little over 2 acres with a whopping 960' of frontage with the river wrapping around the cabin on 3 sides. If the river is what you are after then this is the cabin you want.
