RIVIÈRE - Patio Pickleball & Basket - Animaux acceptés - 2 maisons

About this space
The two houses on the river offer an unparalleled riverfront destination on Michigan’s stunning west coast. Along the still banks of the soothing Big Sable River, this unique retreat features two adjacent houses—one tailored for an intimate experience for two, while the other is designed to accommodate up to 14 guests, ideal for gatherings and shared moments. Together, the two houses make vacationing as a group a possibility.
The space
The big house comfortably accommodates 14 guests, featuring two bedrooms with king beds, an upstairs bunk room (4 full over full bunks) with a queen bed, and a daybed with a trundle in the family room. Ideal for large families or groups of friends seeking an unforgettable retreat.

The house is designed to foster connection and cherished moments. The open floor plan and modern aesthetics invite guests to embrace togetherness. Gather in the spacious kitchen, where the expansive dining room table beckons for shared culinary adventures—a place to prepare meals, indulge in hearty feasts, and relish in stories of the day's escapades.

Step into the backyard oasis, a retreat for starlit evenings overlooking the peaceful Big Sable River. Lounge in timeless Adirondack chairs, sit by the fire pit, or ignite the grill for captivating gatherings by the water's edge—a true delight to be so close to the river's gentle calling.

The tiny house sleeps 2 comfortably with a solo king bed. This house is perfect for one or two people looking to unwind and disconnect.

Despite its proximity to the Manistee National Forest, modern comforts like WiFi, a fully equipped kitchen for two, and full bathroom, and a 55-inch television ensure a seamless blend of nature and contemporary living. At The Tiny House on the River, the choice to immerse in nature or unwind with an evening movie is yours to make.

Both places are equipped with kayaks, along with safety vests, ready to be employed for your trip up, or down river. The Big Sable River extends its arms to fishing enthusiasts, particularly for prized brown trout. Revel in your day's catch by preparing it in our full kitchen, sharing Michigan's finest flavors with your family.

But if relaxation is more your style, sit on the dock’s edge with your feet dipped in the cool running water or wade through the river, exploring the outdoors. Nearby golf courses await avid players, while downtown Manistee tantalizes with a diverse culinary scene, offering everything from local pizzas and tacos to sumptuous American Wagyu burgers and Mediterranean fusion delicacies.

You read that correctly in the listing, this property has a regulation size pickle ball lined driveway court in the front yard with a portable net. Pickleball by a a river?...count me in! Even if the weather is sunny, you can make it rain on the basketball court in the front yard.

Explore the outdoors further! Engage in the beloved Cornhole game available on the house's western side. The stakes are high—loser takes a late-night plunge into the river! The property has a generous yard allowing for a game of catch, some disc golf (courtesy of our private basket), or an old-timey game of horseshoes.

This combined offering truly encompasses an array of experiences, a symphony of nature, leisure, and shared moments.
