We were staying there for a fishing weekend for my son’s birthday. The cottage was perfect to access the Pere Marquette river and close to Baldwin . Barri was very responsive from the moment we booked . They were so kind telling us we could stay past checkout as we were out fishing quite late.The cottage was very clean and comfortable. We will definitely return next time we return to the river !
