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.

Perfect place on the Pere Marquette river
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.

Perfect secluded cabin
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.

Perfect cabin
We just finished our weekend stay and had a great experience! Three of us came to Baldwin for a weekend of Steelhead Fishing (definitely not Steelhead Catching, tough weekend) and had a wonderful stay. The Cabin is situated perfectly to launch into the Flies Only section. The hosts were easy to communicate with and quite accommodating. We fished hard, relaxed harder, ate well in town (highly recommend 876) and had a great time. We'll be back- and hope the fish will be as well!
