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.

The cabin is beautifully tucked away and nestled in the woods, offering a peaceful and scenic retreat. It’s a perfect place to relax, with plenty of room and a serene atmosphere.
I was thrilled to see fish jumping in the mornings—this spot will be even more incredible during fishing season, and I plan to return with my wife.
Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature!”
Charles was incredibly helpful and informative. We had a great time and the space was incredibly clean and tidy. Lots of dishes to use and extra linens. Great view of the river, we even saw a muskrat!

Perfect cabin for a weekend outing with family and friends. Very calm and quiet scenic spot for a relaxing time. The host was excellent in providing a detailed communication regarding everything. I highly recommend this place.
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.
We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay. Both the cabin and the setting are beautiful, and Charles is an excellent host! We can’t wait to come back!
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.
Nice location overlooking river east of M-37. Cottage was well equipped. Owner made process for stay easy and efficient. We will likely book here again.
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.
Well appointed. Everything was in good condition, and clean. Private; no neighbors in sight. Excellent communication with Charlie throughout, including good area recommendations for grocery, dining, activities, etc.
We had a great time. The kitchen sink was limited to use because of a pipe issue which wasn't that big of a deal but I wish it was working.
Neighbor stopped by, not the nicest guy.
Didn't like cameras on the property but the host was kind and easy to work with. It was a great time and the place was amazing!
Thanks for everything.
The guys came home raving about their weekend away. The cabin was great as was the host. Thank you for helping me make memories for the men in our family.
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!
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.
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.
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.
