The Up North Experience

Welcome to the Up North Experience! What better way to experience it than Glamping? There is so much to do outdoors around Grayling. There are parks, disc golfing, hiking, biking, ORV trails, canoeing/kayaking, golfing, fishing, and so much more! In town there are stores, restaurants, local shops, a bakery, a few breweries, and a beautiful park right in the heart of town. Come enjoy this small town that is full of beauty! It is truly the Up North Experience!

Come stay in a comfortable 5th Wheel Camper on a road just outside the city limits. The Property is wooded like you are out of town, but you are not that far. The Up North Experience is just off of an ORV trail; which means easy access! Go a short way into town for gas, hit the trail and go. No need to trailer your ATV/ORV into town. There are hundreds of miles of trails that you could enjoy, and parking available close to the 5th Wheel Camper. The property is an easy walk or bike ride into town.

The 5th Wheel Camper sleeps 5 comfortably (6 if they are small). It has a nice island in the kitchen and a dining area. The kitchen is furnished with most of what you would need for cooking. There are reclining chairs in the living room, and a couch that folds out to a bed. There is also a full size air mattress. The Master Bedroom is a very comfortable Queen bed. There are also towels, washcloths, dish clothes, blankets, pillows, etc all included. Camp chairs for next to the fire are provided, and some outdoor lighting for the evening. No more generator!! We have it wired for electric which means more peace and quiet!

Whether you want to come up for outdoor activities, or just some relaxation and quiet time; this is a nice, comfortable, clean space to make your own while you are here. It all sits on a nice quiet road with only three houses. Come, relax and enjoy the Great Outdoors!

Quiet hideaway

We rented Sara's place for a friend and he really loved the quiet and peacefulness of the location. The accommodations were clean and had everything he needed. He was very happy with his stay. Sara was wonderful to communicate with, always getting back with me quickly. I would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Grayling.

My Wife and I had a very nice relaxing weekend as we were celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary. Sarah was a great host. Communication with her was very easy, the place was super clean and had everything we needed. Exceptional all the way around. We will definitely be booking this property again. Also recommending to family and friends.

Up North Experience, Excellent Experience!

Stayed here two nights to search for our own cabin. The camper is spotless, well furnished with everything you could possibly need. Everything is like new. The outdoor space is wonderful. Location is close to everything yet very private and quiet. Host/Owner live next door but its still very private, They are close if you need them. Fire pit with very nice outdoor chairs. They also put out an outdoor rug and table for our convenience under the awning. We will for sure be repeat renters. It did not disappoint!

Camping with all the comforts of home!

RV had everything you could have asked for! Nice location made you feel like you were away camping in the woods, but with the town and neighbors/house not that far away. We thoroughly enjoyed.

Up North Getaway

We chose to stay here due to it being centrally located to many lakes and rivers and we love kayaking. It was also a good opportunity to experience camping as seniors. LOL It was acceptionally clean and the attention to detail was incredible. I cannot say enough good things about this little retreat and I would HIGHLY recommend it. MUCH better than a hotel.

Awesome place, very quiet, and well stocked!

Just an awesome place to stay. The grounds are beautiful, it’s so peaceful and quiet, and the hosts know how to host. The RV is stocked with everything you need and things you didn’t realize you did need… Like anti itch bug bite cream! If you’ve never stayed in an RV, their directions are clear and well marked. It felt more like a tiny home than RV. Hosts were super nice and offered to spot our truck for us if we floated the river. Helped us navigate how to turn the oven on when we couldn’t figure it out. They were great. We’ve stayed in a lot of house/home rentals and this is by far one of the best ones. Our litmus test on rentals is if they have good knives in the kitchen to cook with… they had great knives! I know it is sort of silly but a good knife goes a long way!
