Sturgeon Riverfront Retreat – Modern Comfort Meets Rustic Charm
Stay at the River Mist Cottage, a peaceful retreat where modern comfort meets rustic charm. Nestled along 415 feet of the beautiful Sturgeon River, this scenic getaway is the ideal setting for outdoor enthusiasts and anyone seeking relaxation in nature’s embrace.
Inside, the main level features a cozy king bedroom with a full bathroom just across the hallway. When you head upstairs, you’ll find two distinct areas. On one side is a versatile bedroom with two desks and chairs—perfect for remote work or creative pursuits—and a twin sofa sleeper for added flexibility. On the opposite side, the third “bedroom” features a king bed and is open to the stairway, without a door. While this space offers plenty of privacy from the lower level, the second bedroom door would need to be closed for complete privacy. A full bathroom is conveniently located within the king bedroom area for added comfort.
For adventure seekers, this location is unbeatable—launch a kayak, canoe, or tube from nearby access points and float right back to the cottage, or hop on the snowmobile trails just minutes away. When it’s time to unwind, you’ll find great local restaurants nearby and easy access to Northern Michigan’s top destinations—just a short drive to Mackinaw City, Petoskey, and other charming Up North towns.
Whether you’re paddling down the river, exploring the North woods, or relaxing on the deck with a cup of coffee as the sun sets over the water, you’ll find everything you need for a memorable and rejuvenating getaway.
River Mist Cottage offers the perfect balance of comfort, charm, and natural beauty—a place where every season brings a new reason to stay.
