About this property

Cozy camping retreat on the banks of the beautiful AuSable River

  • Looking for a unique camping experience without the large crowds of a conventional campground? Look no further! This single camping space is nestled in the north woods of Grayling on the banks of the AuSable River. This site is located just above the "Holy Waters" world renowned for its trout fishing . With over 1000 feet of river frontage all to yourself, your days can be spent fly fishing, kayaking, swimming, tubing, or just relaxing on the river bank. If you're looking to explore, shop, or get a bite to eat you can take a short (less than 5 minute) drive into town where you can enjoy some of our local restaurants and breweries, Paddle Hard Brew, Dead Bear Brew, and Grayling restaurant, to name a few. Be sure to indulge in some downtown shopping! Some of our favorites include, The Old Lumberyard Shoppes, Tip'n The Mitten, and North Country Corner. If you're looking to stay in nature Hartwick Pines State park is short drive away for a beautiful walk through the old growth forest.

Absolutely beautiful

The property was beautiful and serene, you can hear traffic on I75 but it didn’t matter. Loved being close to the river. The camper was clean and had everything you needed. We enjoyed our stay! We will be back!

Northern Michigan Serenity at its best!

What an amazing place to decompress and enjoy some time in nature on a gorgeous piece of the Ausable river. Couldn’t of asked for a better host. They made sure we had everything we needed for a great weekend. The camper was squeaky clean with super comfy bedding. Looking forward to staying again!

Beautiful location

It's a very peaceful and quiet place on the banks of the Au Sable river. There's a grill, swingset, lawn chairs,a firepit, firewood, just about anything you could want really. We even saw deer crossing the river. Some nice statgazing at night too. The camper is clean and in great condition. Town is a short drive away. Definitely will come back in the future!

Riverfront Views

This setup was Awesome! Alexis was Great! She was very attentive and helpful! The camper was very comfortable and we enjoyed it thoroughly! The River stole the show though. We sat next to and actually in the River during our stay. The kayakers were all very friendly while floating by. We would definitely stay again!

Relaxing campsite on ausable river

It was just what we were looking for. Beautiful view of the river and nice fire pit with wood provided. Two kayaks also provided. It was a beautiful float down to Burton's Landing as long as you have a way to transport them back to the campsite. Wasn't sure about relying on a generator and battery power, but it was very easy to start and ran quietly. Overall we had a very relaxing couple of days.

Wonderful

Had a very nice stay. Everything was supplied for anything we needed. Arriving in the dark was tricky as you it was hard to find but the owner was very helpful directing us to the location. Generator is very quiet and can barely hear it run if needed. Very easy to start. Very clean. Would definitely stay again

Fishing and relaxing

I came to Grayling for a few days to fish the Au Sable and enjoy the beautiful October weather. The property was perfect! The host had everything ready and all the details covered. Everything was clean and comfortable. I enjoyed nights stream side by the fire. I plan to be back. Next time I hope to enjoy the kayaks!!

Perfect River Getaway

We had a great time relaxing for the weekend on this perfect spot on the Au Sable. All the fun of camping with the ease and comfort of a RV. The camper is very clean and the generator is easy to use. The river is crystal clear and accessible for swimming right in front of the property. There is also a nice shallow area to put chairs in and sit with your feet in the water. Lots of friendly kayakers and tubers passing by through out the day and quiet peaceful sounds of nature in the evening by the fire. We can’t wait to come back.

Little piece of outdoor heaven

If you love camping and staying in a little nook in the corner of outdoor heaven, this is the place for you. We would absolutely stay here again. The camper was well-appointed, comfortable, and everything was pretty much set up and ready to go for us. It's a beautiful and peaceful spot, even though you can hear the traffic from I-75 a bit - didn't bother us at all. Also still 5 minutes from town and lots of easy shopping for groceries or souvenirs, as well as plenty of great restaurants. Alexis was super accessible for whatever we needed but gave us our space as well. Wished we had more time here!

Michigan in June

This experience was exactly as advertised and described by reviewers. It was beautiful there, and the RV was clean and well maintained. As others mentioned, the traffic noise was ever-present, but we at least knew to expect that. We’d never stayed in an RV before and had to find UTube videos on how to get the oven started. We learned about generators and propane and all sorts of things. It rained almost constantly, but we had a great view out the window over the eating area.

Relaxing Mini Vacay!

My husband and I had a fantastic time at this vacation rental! The camper was so clean and there were many little extras that made our stay special. From the grill to the dinnerware to the comfortable bed; we felt that each detail was intentional and well thought out. We kayaked down the river using one of the rental services and had a great time- highly recommend a 4 hour trip for the full experience. We did hike the Au Sable Hiking Trail which was just okay. The highlight of our evenings was grilling our dinner and enjoying the river view and fire pit! I would say the only negative was that we could hear a lot of traffic from the river, but, not a lot that can be done for that! We would definitely recommend this vacation rental and appreciate the hostess for all that she did to make our stay special!

Had a great time at the camper for our anniversary. Close enough to town to go out a few meals and to go down the ausable in our raft. Even got to sit in the river and enjoy watching people go down it while we relaxed

Great little spot on the AuSable River. Everything you could need in one place. It's like camping up North in your trailer....without having to tow a trailer. Super clean. Great communication. And literally minutes from downtown if you need anything. We would look forward to returning.

We stayed for the weekend with our two children 7 and 11 and we had a great time. The property was beautiful and private the camper was clean and cozy. The children loved it. There were all the amenities you could need just had to bring clothes and some food/drinks. We did a kayak trip in town. Check in and out was so smooth. Communication with the host was excellent. I would definitely recommend.
