Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location. The host was very responsive to questions and the property was properly adorned for stays. The river views were very peaceful and the amount of wildlife that crossed in and out of the property was delightful. On the list of stay again.

Beautiful cabin on the Ausable.

Everything was wonderful and exceeded our expectations from the check in, location, abundance of wildlife, the fire pit and the view right from the kitchen table. Would recommend it any day! Thank you Scott and Linda for allowing us to stay at your place.

WOW!!! This cabin is amazing and beautiful!

This cabin and property was just breathtaking. Beautiful scenery and the pictures don’t do it justice. Definitely will be back again! Very clean cabin and the driveway was freshly plowed after fresh snowfall. Close to Trail 7 for snowmobiling.

Great place

We were very impressed with the house. It was in a quiet neighborhood with access to the river from the back yard. There was a lot of wildlife to be seen as you are just outside of town. The hosts were very helpful as they provided tips to help us find some other places to fish.

Spectacular view

Gorgeous spot overlooking the Au Sable River. House is spacious, nicely furnished and well equipped. Spent most of our time on the large, beautifully finished patio. Secluded location, but short, easy drive to town. Communication with host could not have been better.

Last minute trip

The views are so beautiful and the flow of the house is great. Loved our snowmobile trip at this house. Big driveway for our trailer and a real fireplace in case you lose power. Will definitely be back for a summer trip to enjoy the river and atv trails. Thank you for the homemade jam, very kind and delicious.

Lovely accommodations!

This is a very nice property! It is well equipped and very clean!! The beds are comfortable as is the living room furniture and we wanted for nothing. The view is spectacular and the outdoor back patio is beautiful with a picnic table, chairs available in the garage and a great fire pit. There is very little river activity so it was peaceful and the wildlife is abundant. Linda communicated quickly when I emailed her but there was no need to reach out to her once we arrived. Would definitely go back!

Off Road Trip

House is well laid out and has a great view of the river that invites hanging out on the back patio. House has everything needed for cooking but also includes local restaurant information as well. Great communication with the owners. Great access to the trails, you can ride the trails straight from the house. Will stay again in the future.

TRUE BEAUTY

My wife and I had a wonderful time during our stay. The cabin was more than what we expected. Owners are very attentive to your needs (within reason-this isn't the Hilton and you can't have fresh towels delivered to your room...LOL). Neighbors were extremely friendly. Loved our view of the river and surrounds. My only complete is that we wished there was stronger internet. I ended up having to work Wedneday through Friday and found myself at the library those days. The location is great and is minutes from downtown Grayling. If you are looking for a beautiful getaway, this is the place.
