The house was great including the deck. We felt that the river pictures were to old to be accurate. I expected more room to river fish but there are too many trees down to fish easily. The online pictures need to be updated to present an accurate picture. But this is the only downside to the trip. Nice property.

Lovely River Getaway
Can’t call it a river cabin, because it’s far too nice for that! This is a beautiful, spacious totally finished house on the Tobacco River between Clare and Farwell, MI. Every need for their guests is anticipated and taken care of. Beautiful kitchen, island bar, comfy couches in the great room. Outdoor deck and table overlooking the fast moving (shallow) river. Spacious yard. Close to town but far enough away to be peaceful. Some visitors have commented on this being on a busy 2 lane highway, but really, it was no bother. The bedrooms are spacious and well thought out. We loved our visit, and hope to return.
