Perfect spot to Fish, Canoe, and Kayak along the Pere Marquette River

Cabin 4 is a clean and well-kept cabin nestled on a ridge with spectacular views of the Pere Marquette River. It sits high up enough to have a surreal viewpoint, but close enough to be an easy hike down for some fishing from the banks of the river

Cannon River Ranch: Cabin 4 sits on a ridge overlooking the Pere Marquette River. The views from the decks are simply amazing, they are the perfect spot to enjoy your coffee in the morning, or a cold drink at night while listening to the river water pass by below.

The cabin has 2 private bedrooms upstairs and sleeps 8 people in total. The main floor is huge, open, and bright and has a fully stocked kitchen, living room, and dining room area. There are also two decks on either side of the living area. The cabin sits above a bend in the river, giving incredible views in both directions up and downstream. The fishing is spectacular in this location.

The location of the cabin is secluded enough to have complete privacy but close enough to the housekeeper's cabin and to the other cabins to be close by if you have a group or are renting multiple cabins.

REVIEWS
"We enjoyed the peacefulness of this stay at Cabin 4. The high, large, full windows all along the front of the home gave a beautiful view of soaring trees and river. The caretaker, Tim, was very helpful.. He was very friendly and told us about the property, the history of it and much more. The owner of the property was at the lodge and also was very friendly. We explored the woods in the area. It was beautiful. We didn't hear anyone else and we enjoyed this quietness to hear only nature and the river. There were cabins much further down the road; they were not visible. A group was at Cabin 2, but we didn't hear them at all. This is a special spot. Thank you for sharing it with us"

Beautiful location
The cabin was even prettier than the pictures. It was great place to get out of the hustle and bustle with the kids and slow down for the weekend. Only complaint, and it's kind of a bigger one, was the mice. There were quite a few in the cabin, and they weren't shy - particularly in the kitchen. It didn't bother me or the kids much, but it had my wife on edge all weekend. Nonetheless, we still really loved it and would definitely return, just know you are getting a bit more of a sportsman's cabin vibe than a family cabin. But that was part of the appeal for us.

Cabin in woods
We enjoyed the peacefulness of this stay at Cabin 4. The high, large, full windows all along the front of the home gave a beautiful view of soaring trees and river. The caretaker, Tim, was very helpful and brought us what we needed quickly ( a can opener and grate so we could grill outside over wood he provided). He was very friendly and told us about the property, the history of it and much more. The owner of the property was at the lodge and also was very friendly. We explored the woods in the area. It was beautiful. We didn't hear anyone else and we enjoyed this quietness to hear only nature and the river. There were cabins much further down the road; they were not visible.

Nice getaway
Nice quiet getaway. Beautiful scenery. Awesome view from the deck and picture window overlooking the river. Property was amazing. Cabin is set up more of a fishing camp than a couples getaway. Nothing wrong with that though except the beds were a little cozy. Never seen or heard another person all weekend. Would definitely recommend this to any nature lover or fisherman. Might not be the best couples getaway for everyone but it suited us just fine.

Beautiful cabin
We had trouble with check in, unsalted vacations didn’t let the property manager know we were coming. We had to wait an extra hour to get into the cabin. But the caretaker handled it well and cleaned as fast as he could. It was an inconvenience on both of ours parts. We did end up having a great time. Very clean cabin with gorgeous views!

Great facility and location, need to do repairs and deep clean.
Great property, however it has not been deep cleaned for a long time, all beautiful windows haven't been cleaned for a long time. Very dirty. Several pots and pans were used and not cleaned bur put away. Maintenance of windows and settling of building leaving cracks permits invasion of flies and mosquito's.. On site manager is overwhelmed and under supported. I thought you and "unsalted" would have provided more oversight, could be a fantastic location. Such a wonderful place overshadowed by poor management. Is this true of all your listings? this is our first use of Vrbo and Unsalted.

It was a perfect location away from everyone. Exactly where we wanted to be in the middle of nature right by the river. We really really loved this cabin, and would certainly recommend it to anybody who likes to be secluded and away from others!.

No electricity, no plumbing
I liked the cabin but not having electricity and running water for the start of the stay was not fun. First night was very hot without fans, everything in the kitchen was electric so had to go to town to eat or get coffee in the morning, poop in the woods, no showers, no way to wash dishes. No discount offered for lack of electricity. I was told since a generator was not listed as an amenity its the renters risk.
