Beautiful Riverfront Home

Looking for a relaxing and peaceful get away? Look no further! The Tobacco riverfront home in Farwell is serene yet provides all the conveniences of home. A fully equipped kitchen to prepare your favorite meals. Cozy, layered beds and an indoor electric fireplace. Sit on the deck, or in the dining room and enjoy the view of the river. Downtown Clare is just a 5 minute drive with plenty of shops and restaurants. CMU and Soaring Eagle casino are 25 minutes away.
Located on the Tobacco River which is known for trout. Most of the year it is fairly shallow. This home shares a large yard with another one of our properties. The deck has a cushioned patio set so that you can enjoy the view and sounds of the river. Along with a propane grill for summer meals. Inside you will find a large dining room open to the eat in kitchen and living area. The kitchen is stocked with everything you'll need for a home cooked meal. The bathroom will have essential toiletries. We provide all linens and several throw blankets to ensure you're always comfy. The bedrooms both have their own TV and noise machine to combat any road noise light sleepers may hear. One of the best things about this cabin is its proximity to downtown Clare. Just a five minute drive to so many amazing restaurants and cute shops. We hope to have the opportunity to provide a memorable get away for you and your family or friends.

Great stay!

The house is beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay! The creek in the backyard was very relaxing and just a short drive to charming downtown Clare! The only downside was the busy road and traffic noise. We would stay again!

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.

Peaceful getaway

We had a wonderful time, it was very peaceful and relaxing. The location was convenient as it was close to town but still felt remote/private. The morning we left we saw 6 deer in the river, which was really cool. We would definitely stay here again.
