The Cottage is located in Republic Michigan and sits on 12.5 acres and 970 ft of frontage on the Michigamme River. Very private, easy access, which is just about 100 yards off the Highway, so easily accessible in the summer and fall with any vehicle.

There are also many nearby Trout streams, and Good Deer, Grouse Hunting. Our Cabin is easily accessible and very private.

You Will have 970 feet of river frontage to enjoy. There are many Bald Eagles, Deer, Turkey, and Occasionally Moose in the area. You will have the entire property to yourself and the surrounding wildlife. This Cottage is located 45 minutes from Iron Mountain, Michigan and 45 Minutes from Marquette Michigan.

Great deer hunting during the Michigan bow and gun deer seasons. lots of public land.

If you are new to ice fishing, and want to give it a try, I would be happy to provide some assistance if available.

It’s a very nice and clean cottage on a river. I stayed there because it was a central location to explore different places in the central Upper Peninsula. The location is a bit remote, being about 20 miles from a grocery store and restaurants, but I didn’t find that to be a major problem. All in all I had a pleasant experience and recommend this cottage to others.

The hosts (Ken and Sara) have thought of everything that a guest could want. We only had to bring our own food, but they had the fridge stocked with sodas when we arrived. They supplied microwave, toaster, cooktop with oven, plates, cups, utensils, kayaks, fishing rods, life vests, shampoo, body wash--I could list a hundred more things. The hosts texted us to be sure that we were able to access the cottage easily and get settled in. They also checked with us during our six-day stay to ask whether there was anything else we wanted or needed. No other Vrbo host ever did that--above and beyond the call of duty. The cottage was very comfortable and quiet. My wife and I loved it! It's an easy drive away from Marquette, Munising, Ishpeming, Baraga, L'Anse, Houghton/Hancock, Grand Marais, Seney, and even a comfortable day trip to Copper Harbor, Escanaba, Vulcan, and more. My wife and I will definitely be looking at this particular cottage for a future trip to the UP. Thank you, Ken and Sara, for making our vacation wonderful!

Perfect quiet and remote

This was the perfect way for us to get away from the business of our lives with 6 children after caretaking for sick parents for the last 5 years. We napped in the quiet of the forest and did some sight seeing as we wanted. The cabin is well stocked you’ll only need to take some food and your personal items.

Republic is pretty much in the middle of the U.P. so everything is a 45 min drive and up for sight seeing, which made it great for what my wife and I planned. Be advised the cell coverage in most of the U.P. is not good.This property is nice and private with a gate at the end of the driveway. The owners Ken and Sara are awesome with communication, they get back to you with great information and a quick response. Will definitely consider this again for future stays. Dan and Melissa

Michigamme River Cabin Paradise - Part II

We followed up last year's 8-night stay with a 10-night stay this year. Along with fishing the Michigamme River and the local lakes as much as possible, we made trips to see Mount Arvon (Michigan's highest point), the Huron Mountains "Rock Cut", and Canyon Falls; consisting of spectacular drives, hikes, and views. Also made excursions to successfully hunt for Yooperlites. We heard wolves almost nightly around the cabin, but struck out on our quest to see wolves, moose, and/or bear. Just another reason to return next year! Silver Lake Resort kept us well-fed as needed, and we did enjoy a fresh caught perch dinner at the cabin courtesy of one of the local lakes. Also had an opportunity to see the northern lights one evening from the cabin's yard; simply spectacular! Additional wild-life viewing/hearing around the area included Ravens, Common Loons, Bald Eagles, Barred Owls, Ruffed Grouse, Eastern Bluebirds, Whip-poor-wills, migrating warblers, flying squirrels, deer, beaver, hatching snapping turtles, etc.). This cabin remains a great location to use as a base camp for exploring anything in the western UP. Ken and Sara are wonderful hosts and very informative to make your stay a worthwhile one.

Wonderful little cabin

This place is a wonderful little cabin, very clean and well stocked with necessities. The view from the deck is overlooking the river, and the property is very spacious for walking and wandering. The only downside is the traffic noise from the nearby bridge. We would still consider booking this cute cabin next time we travel to the UP!

Spending time with our Granddaughter

Perfect place for relaxing, enjoy the outdoors, and getting away from the crazy world. We enjoyed the fire and roasted marshmallows, the big open area to blow bubbles, and to catch the hula hoops. Place is very clean and plenty of room for everyone. We took a walk along the river and enjoyed the scenery. Very nice and feels so secluded even though the highway is so close. Ken and Sara have a beautiful place and we appreciated them sharing their little piece heaven with us!
