Riverfront cabin, on a secluded section of the Middle Branch, Pere Marquette

Welcome to the Swinging Fly cabin! It’s a true cabin in the woods located on the Middle Branch of the Pere Marquette River in Baldwin Michigan (trout season applies on this section of river). It’s been recently remodeled from top to bottom - it’s a gem to be enjoyed year round. The Swinging Fly is located on 8.2 acres of property which includes 1,320 feet of private river frontage. You can fish right out the back of the cabin, or a short five minute drive down the road and you're floating on the headwaters of the Pere Marquette’s famous flies-only waters (year round fishing). There is also canoeing and hiking trails available. Try a section of North Country National Scenic Trail, it's the longest in the National Trails System, stretching 4,800 miles across eight states from North Dakota to Vermont and it passes right though the Huron-Manistee National Forest. Lake County also boasts 393 lakes, and 42 trout streams to explore within its boundaries.

Fantastic Location and Great Stay
The cabin itself was stocked and perfect, but what really took the cake was the grounds and the river. Being able to relax with the crystal clear waters right below while playing horse-shoes or having a fire was a great backdrop for myself and friends to catch up. The proximity to town and any river drop points was ideal. Visited Baldwin Canoe and Kayak for a trip as well and had a blast.

Amazing relaxing cabin right on the river.
This cabin was everything we had hoped for. Secluded, quiet, peaceful, with an abundance of wildlife. We enjoyed birdwatching and floating on the river. The fire pit was amazing. We have been taking these girl trips for the past 10 years that includes three generations of women and this is by far been our favorite. Communication was excellent with Charles.

Annual long weekend getaway
Charles has a first-class rental, the attention to detail was over the top. Very informative, even helped secure kayak permits and gave us some tips on where to go. We like to try different places each year, but I can say this was by far the best place we've been in the last 5 yrs.

Gratitude to Charlie
The hospitality attention to detail and warm personality exceeded my expectations. This was a family vacation with my son and grandsons they were very pleased with the peaceful surrounding and the opportunity to fish, hike, wade in water and enjoy all aspects of cottage. Each night they ended with roasting marshmallows at fire pit. Beautiful, relaxing and scenic with just the right touches to help you enjoy blessings of family.

Amazing property!
This cabin is so wonderful we never wanted to leave! The location is so beautiful, right on the river with a big fire pit and a deck right on the river. We came to float the PM, but unfortunately got rained out but we didn’t even care because the cabin was so cozy on a rainy day. Amenities are plentiful and everything was as described. Charles is a great communicator and was very helpful. Highly recommend staying here, and we hope to return in the future!

Perfect place on the Pere Marquette river
Do you dream about the perfect place on a river? Charlie's place was the better than we imagined. A perfectly rustic fisherman's cabin in the gorgeous PM. The cabin has everything you need to enjoy coffee and breakfast over looking the river or sitting around a campfire telling stories or making a feat for family and friends. The cabin has it all for a perfect getaway. We will be staying again.

Perfect secluded cabin
This log cabin in the woods has all the comforts of home, especially a fireplace that makes it so cozy you’ll never want to leave. It is so secluded from the moment you drive onto the property and the river running past the front of the cabin is just gorgeous. The owner is very responsive and gives you all the tips and info you need to make it an enjoyable and relaxing stay. It couldn’t have been a better winter getaway for us.

Perfect cabin
We just finished our weekend stay and had a great experience! Three of us came to Baldwin for a weekend of Steelhead Fishing (definitely not Steelhead Catching, tough weekend) and had a wonderful stay. The Cabin is situated perfectly to launch into the Flies Only section. The hosts were easy to communicate with and quite accommodating. We fished hard, relaxed harder, ate well in town (highly recommend 876) and had a great time. We'll be back- and hope the fish will be as well!

Quiet and secluded
My friends and I had a wonderful weekend! Cabin is as advertised! Secluded enough for privacy but just a quick few minutes to town for extra supplies. Cabin is clean and nicely stocked for your stay. Play some horse shoes and enjoy the company or take a few steps down to the pristine river and throw some flies. Only "negative" comments from any of us (7 in total) were be careful not to catch your hand in the small bathroom ( the door handle and counter are really close!). And the condensation pan for the A/C unit in the 3rd room could be better. Had to keep an eye on it so it didn't over flow and ruin the floor. If that's the only issues, we would still book again in a heartbeat! You will love your stay and the hosts are very quick to respond to any questions! Great place! Thanks Charles!

Beautiful Cabin on the river in the woods!
I wanted to find somewhere for my family for a quick getaway. I came across this listing and was very intrigued with the location and access points. Before we arrived, the owners were amazing with the communication. They told us all about the good fishing spots because I had told them my boys were excited to fish. When we got there the cabin was exactly like what was listed. They even put a swing up before we got there for my little one! The property was beautiful, it had a little bit of something for everyone. We enjoyed a nice night by the bonfire and my kid's played basketball. Overall, we had an amazing experience. We are already excited to book again next year.
