Cozy river cabin, steps away from blue ribbon fishing hiking trails.

Just 7 miles from downtown Indian River, this rustic cabin sits a mere 25’ from the edge of the Pigeon River, a blue-ribbon trout stream popular with fly fishing anglers. It is a perfect 4 season get-away with easy year-round access. Enjoy snowmobiling, fishing or hunting footsteps from the door. It can be your home-base for exploring Northern Michigan - an easy drive to Petoskey, Mackinaw City, Cheboygan, Gaylord, and just minutes from Indian River and Burt Lake. It is very close to 5 Little Traverse Conservancy properties for those who enjoy hiking.
This 1940’s-built cabin is cozy - 2 bedrooms with a double bed in each. The screened-in porch is the perfect place to relax with a book and a beverage, or to simply listen to the River.
This is the ideal place to disconnect. There is no Wi-Fi, but a strong cell phone signal so a hotspot works well; the TV gets several PBS channels and sometimes network channels if the weather is perfect and the leaves have falln from the trees, . There is a DVD player and an eclectic collection of DVDs available. The bathroom has a shower only; there are overhead fans in all rooms as well as portable fans.

New Years Bday get away
I booked this sweet little cabin for my bf’s Christmas/birthday present. We had a great little get away. The cabin is quaint and all 2 people need. Listening to the river every morning while drinking coffee made us want to stay longer!

Great stay - it’s the little things!
We were very happy with the care taken by the owner to make for a comfortable stay. Everything we ever could have needed - coffee, bottled waters, dog bowls!, you name it. Very charming cabin right on the water, with fire pit. Plenty of nice hiking spots within a short drive.

Clean, Communicative, and Beautiful
The cabin is cozy, and has exactly you would need for a good time. The host is communicative and the cabin is organized and labeled in a way that is very useful. The river is beautiful and the cabin is about 20 feet from the banks. Screened in porch as well as an outdoor area for a fire or just watching the river. Didn't do any fishing but can imagine this is the perfect fishing spot. Constructive notes would be: It is slightly less remote than it appears in the listing. Beautiful area but you do have neighbors close and close to a road. Only thing missing inside was a cutting board, otherwise a very well stocked kitchen.

Excellent Cozy Cabin Get Away!
The river cabin is an excellent get away destination. It's off the beaten path but not to far from towns if you enjoy shopping and eating out. We enjoyed a peaceful, 'unplugged' weekend in November. The cabin is spotlessly clean and the beds are comfortable. It has such a cozy vibe! It was cold and we enjoyed sitting near the gas 'wood' stove after going hiking. There are several nature preserves in the area. The host is so thoughtful and very responsive. It feels like you are staying in someone's private family cabin, and not just a rental. We were so thankful that they allowed us to bring our dogs, and we made sure we left the place clean and tidy. They even provide leashes, a tieout, and blankets to cover furniture if your dog gets on furniture (ours did not but such a thoughtful gesture). If you are looking for a peaceful cabin get away... book this place!

Perfection in the woods
From start to finish communication was on point, the stay was wonderful and we can’t wait to come back! Had we not already paid to stay closer to our next destination we would have tried to extend our stay.
