A Perfect Northern Get-Away On The Scenic Big Creek In Luzerne

This is a very clean, warm, cozy and relaxing 2 bedroom vintage cabin located within the Huron National Forest on the crystal clear Big Creek, a main tributary to the Ausable River. You will be pleased to find a host of basic amenities. This is the perfect place to unplug from your busy life and enjoy watching the various wildlife and many bird species, reading a book & dining in the screened porch while watching and listening to the river, not to mention the starry night campfires. Your stay can include many outdoor activities, such as: visiting the large neighboring Amish community with their tidy farms and unique stores, fishing, tubing, kayaking, canoeing, ATV riding, hiking, scenic overlooks and much more. We find that when many of our guests arrive they prefer to just stay and enjoy the very unique, quiet and natural surroundings

really quiet and I have a nice birdfeeder right outside the dining room window and you can watch the birds many different species, beautiful porch. You can look out the window in the morning and eat your breakfast and a great dock easy walk to fish and watch the river flow the my room had a overhead ceiling fan, which was awesome. This is a great place to relax and unwind. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was nice and quiet and the view of the creek was a plus. We especially liked the screen house in the back. So nice to sit in and have your morning coffee. The inside was nice, clean and cozy. We went to Mio and shopped in the Pioneer store, the Creamery and the little Amish bakery on Kittle road. They have delicious cookies and great bread. We also went to Ma Deeters restaurant for dinner and the food was really good. The owners are super nice and helpful too. All in all we would highly recommend staying here.

Very nice weekend away!

I visited Luzerne with my kids as a last getaway before school started. The cabin was very easy to find. The property was well-maintained and the cabin was clean. My only minor issue was the overview says linens are provided, but we were told to bring our own sheets and towels.

Big Creek Cabin

It’s not often that I write a review, but in this case it is warranted. The cabin was a true find. Clean , peaceful and well cared for. Wild life was abundant and provided hours of entertainment. It was a short drive to town and other points of interest. We had a chance to speak with Nick the host about the history of the cabin and could see the pride he has for both the cabin and the memories of the man who built it. The cabin is well stocked if you like to cook. The beds are very comfortable. Nick, thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us.

Relaxing, enjoyable stay

Our stay at the Red Cabin was wonderful! My husband was the first one inside, and he came out and said "this is a really nice cabin!" I totally agreed with him! It was a great value for the money and had everything (and more) that you could possibly need - even scotch tape!! Immaculately clean and decorated so cute. Quiet area along the creek - we sat down on the dock and enjoyed the fall day with cocktails. Communication with the owners was first rate - they replied to our texts almost immediately and were very friendly. Ate 3 times at Ma Deeters - met the owner who was super nice, and watched the Lions game on the outside patio TV. Other than having a little trouble finding the cabin the first couple times (especially in the dark!) it was a perfect long weekend! We said we need to come back in the summer and enjoy the creek more. Now that we know how to find it, we'll have to come back!! Thanks for everything!
