About this house rental

There’s a moment every guest has. You hear the river before you see it, walk through the trees, catch the first view of the falls, and somehow the luggage can wait. In fall, the woods glow gold and amber, the air turns sharp, and before long you realize there’s no one around. Just you, the trees, and the river.

The noise and the hurry didn’t follow you here. The river won’t let it.

Perched above a bend in the Escanaba River, Kingfisher looks out over cascading water and ancient granite formations. Deer wade the shallows at dusk. Mergansers slip through the current like they own it. Eagles circle overhead.

The river is always doing something.

You don’t just stay at this place. You become part of it.

Inside, the lodge is the counterpoint: clean, modern, intentional. Scandinavian sensibility. White walls step aside for the view, while wood and stone hint at the landscape without competing with what’s outside. Warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed — a cozy blanket of a space that makes the wilderness feel even wilder by contrast. Four bedrooms and 3.5 baths give groups real comfort, with three king beds, a queen, and additional singles. The great room, kitchen, and dining area flow together naturally whether you’re making a big breakfast, playing a board game, or simply watching the light change on the water.

Downstairs, the mood shifts: full bar, nine-foot shuffleboard, big-screen TV, and Xbox.

Outside, fall is where the place really shows off. The seven-person hot tub steams above the river. Two fire pits glow after dark. Mountain bikes wait by the door when the quiet country roads call. On clear nights, the Milky Way opens wide overhead, and the northern lights occasionally make an appearance.

Binoculars sit on the windowsill because guests keep needing them.

If you decide to explore, there’s plenty within easy reach:

Pictured Rocks — 60 min
Downtown Marquette — 60 min
Kayaking the Au Train — 45 min
Island Resort & Casino — 20 min
Sweetgrass Golf Club — 20 min
Upper Hand Brewery — 20 min
Drift Spa — 20 min
Gladstone Beach — 15 min
Ludington Park — 25 min
Freshwater Tavern — 15 min
Days River Trails — 15 min
Trout fishing — backyard

And if you don’t go anywhere at all, that’s kind of the point.

There’s ample parking for six or more vehicles and trailers, plus space for an RV.

To protect the property we love, guests sign a simple rental agreement and provide a fully refundable $500 deposit returned promptly after checkout.

Honestly, I've stayed at VRBO's for years, and this house was far and away the nicest home yet. From the peaceful setting overlooking the fast flowing Escanaba River; to the gorgeous and "Feng shui" furnishings and art objects everywhere, to the exquisite beds, you will not go wrong with this place, which feels more like a Four Seasons Resort than some poor schlub's home lol!! Did I mention the hot tub?
