About this property
Both Lake and River frontage! Great fishing!
What a great place for the avid angler or the family looking for a quiet get away. This fully restored cottage has a large, private yard perfect for relaxing and features 200+ ft of frontage on Flowage lake, which is famous for it's pike and bass fishing. Also included is frontage on the West Branch of the Rifle River for some of the best trout fishing in the state. A canoe and 3 kayaks are available for guest's use at no charge. When not enjoying the lake and river, you can entertain yourself with the pool table, Foosball table or other games included in the walk out basement. Other amenities include a lake side deck, a river side patio with outdoor fireplace, BBQ grill, washer and dryer, 3 televisions, and central air conditioning. The town of West Branch features great shopping including a Walmart and a Meijers store, a Dunhams Sporting goods store, and a ridiculous number of terrific restaurants, many of whom will deliver right to your door.

About the host
Hosted by Allen Morris
My family and I have been enjoying our many summer vacations in the West Branch area our entire lives. It's a beautiful part of the state and we enjoy all of the outdoor activities the area has to offer.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this home years ago and have since bought a larger home north of town. We still use "Fish Camp" for our own personal use, but we would like to share it with others so they may also enjoy the many happy times we have had there.
What makes this property unique
This property has a very rare and unique location. Being the old Dam-keepers home, it features water frontage and access to both the lake and the river, offering the best of fishing and recreation on both. Since Flowage Lk. is a smaller lake, it is much more calm and relaxed than some of the more well known lakes in the area. Even busy holiday weekends are quiet and relaxing. Spread out in the large, private yard, Take the canoe or kayak out for a fishing adventure, or just enjoy the unlimited lake views from your front deck. If it gets chilly, cuddle up next to the outdoor fireplace on the back patio. If it rains, head inside for a game of pool or Foosball, or kick back and enjoy one of the 3 big screen tvs. Brand-new Central air and full laundry facilities are the cherry on top of this perfect family vacation spot.
