About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

NEW HOME
We recently acquired this beautiful piece of land on the Escanaba River and felt this would be the perfect property for a vacation home. The location is only a ten minute drive from Escanaba or Gladstone, yet it is in the country so you get that "away from town" feeling. Our guests will love the relaxing, scenic views of river and enjoy activities like kayaking and fishing.
The home is new construction with a fresh, open concept and a majestic view of the Escanaba River. Wake up in the morning and take your coffee out onto the covered porch and watch the morning unfold before your eyes. The Eagles will patrol the banks of the river searching for early prey, or the deer coming in for a drink. After a day of exploring the area, or on the river casting lines, come back to an evening of relaxing around the fire pit or gathering around the large kitchen island.

We’ve just updated our WiFi and television streaming options, so there is plenty of options for the whole family. We’ve also hydro-seeded the lawn, providing an enhanced view and a spacious area for your family pet to run and play!

The river hosts great fishing for Walleye, Small Mouth Bass, Perch, Blue Gill, and Pike. Once again it is also perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding and small motor boats. There is a great boat launch only a quarter mile from the home. Sorry no jet skiing or waterskiing allowed but there are kayaks available for use on the property.

During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be close to Gladstone Golf Club. The vacation home offers a kitchen and a Smart TV.

Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine, and Smart TV
Onsite recreation includes a playground
14 minutes by car from Lake Michigan and 10 minutes from Van Cleve Park & Gladstone Beach

This vacation home offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

Peaceful setting

This was our 2nd time staying at Phil's property. He is amazing to work with and prides himself on happy visitors. We caught some nice perch, off the dock and out of the kayaks. It's always a pleasant surprise to find locations that allow dogs, and yet are still clean! All of us with furry family members appreciate the decent place to stay with our WHOLE family. The only downfall is the bed, which of course it's a personal preference, but neither of us found it comfortable at all. There are basic seasonings and dishware, which makes cooking or grilling quite convenient. If you are looking for a nice place, off the beaten path, but yet not far from a town we definitely suggest renting one of the red bridge rentals!

Cute but too Very isolated location

The place is cute and small. The location was terrible. If you’re looking to be isolated and then the location is fine but if you want to have access to or in close proximity to restaurants and places to eat, this place would not be an ideal location. Me and my three teenagers did not feel comfortable being isolated so we only stayed there one night out of the 3 nights that I booked the place. I don’t want to have to cook while on vacation and so we left the place to go to another place closer into town where restaurants and other activities were in walking distance.

Riverside, quiet, beautiful home, for everyone! With everything you need…

My husband, my 9 & 10 yr old, and my German Shepard all stayed for 4 days on the property. Very quiet and convenient. New, & Comfortable stay for all. The property owners thought of everything. Bring your boat to fish on the river. Or just hit the dock to fish. We enjoyed catching and cooking fish right at the property. We also stopped at Elmers for some fresh perch to add to our fish fry. Everything you need is very convenient. Meijer & all kinds of restaurants are 15 mins or less away. Very clean, comfortable, NEW home! Even has firewood, grill, Wi-Fi, cable, etc. lovely getaway for the family. Would definitely come back’ Next time we would fish on the small bay at least one time (supposed to be world class fishing on the bay for walleye and smallmouth!)

Great Fishing, close to Escanaba

Only 2 negatives.... The price was high for what it was, but that's the beauty of a free market. Some clean out near the dock, so you could access the water/kayaking better. Lots of positives... Having our dog with us! Being close to the state fair, as our kiddo was showing for 4H. The small mouth fishing was amazing. Kitchen has what you need! Great local restaurants, friendly community. Phil was pleasant and helpful. The neighborhood dogs are friendly, but do swipe dog toys ;) Thank you for sharing your rental home!

Relaxing week away

My husband and I spent almost a week at this fantastic home. The house itself had everything we needed, plenty of towels and a well stocked kitchen. They even had extra dish and laundry soap. The layout was perfect with most of the windows facing the beautiful river view. There was more then enough room for the two of us and our dog. The yard was huge with a fire pit and a dock on the river. We also enjoyed the location. It was about a ten minute drive from Escanaba, which has excellent food and a little less than 10 minutes to Gladstone which is a beautiful park with great views of the bay(Lake Michigan). The home is also closely located to Hiawatha national forest and it’s only an hour away from Lake Superior. It made for a perfect base while we explored the U.P

Red Bridge Rentals

Staying at Phil and Sara's cottage was excellent. One of if not the best rentals we have had yet with Vrbo!! Clean, quiet, new, great view of the river. Close enough to town that running in was easy but far enough away that it was private and quiet. Phil and Sara were both also very friendly and accommodating!! We will come back again in the future!!

Great property and great host

We had to take an emergency trip to the Gladstone area and this property fit my entire family. The bunk beds were perfect for the kids and we were able to have plenty of room for a pack and play. When walking in the place still smelled like new. It was very clean and the island in the kitchen was large enough to have my siblings and parents over for dinner.

Beautiful Home

This home is perfect for people staying in the Escanaba/Gladstone area. Easy drive to the casino, golf courses, hiking trails & restaurants. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to make some meals at the house. The furniture was comfortable and the view of the river from the back porch was beautiful. Very enjoyable stay & the host was responsive.

Special Upper Peninsula Location

We really enjoyed our stay. Our trip was part business and pleasure. The house is immaculate. It was the perfect size for the two of us and our two dogs. The owners thought of everything. It was outfitted with everything you would need. The location is quiet and the porch overlooking the Escanaba River is peaceful. We hope the house is available the next time we are in the area!

Week on the river

We had last minute plans to be in the UP and this placed popped up and took dogs. Upfront I will say we never pay these prices but it was our only option. Having said that we were probably the second renters of this brand spanning clean home. Nicely furnished & kitchen was stocked with the right items including spices. The big open bar and all the light from the windows was very pleasant. The location is close to the main road but tucked in on the river. River is very quiet and beautiful in the early morning drinking coffee on the porch. Lots of kayakers. The hosts are very accommodating and easy to work with if needed. We rate it a 4 due to the fact it is new and a few things still need to be completed to be a 5 at the price. The yard is still filling in and hard to walk across. Lots of mud if it rains. Bring your own towels for wiping Fido, which we did. Beautiful fire pit area by the river but too hard to walk down to it at night. There is a Farm next door and the flies were plentiful. Highly recommend the host purchase a few squatters. I would upgrade to a King bed instead of a queen. Plenty of room. Also rug at the front inside door & mat outside to wipe muddy feet. Railing on the front steps was still being built so if unsteady check with host to make sure it’s complete. The WiFi was spotty and a bit frustrating to stream anything. We were too tired to care every night but expect a reliable service. There is a shooting range across the red bridge and every night after supper you could here the range for an hour or so. I firmly believe that Sara & Phil will have this place at top prices but still a process in work our week.
