Welcome to our peaceful cabin in the woods. It is located 200 feet from the Au Sable River, with vacant state land only across the river. Open year-round, you will find it has everything to offer, just bring your clothes and food. We even supply some of that, like coffee, tea, condiments, and a few things in the pantry.
Our cabin is located 10 minutes from charming, downtown Grayling. While downtown, step back in time and visit Dawson-Stevens Ice Cream Parlor. On the opposite side of the ice cream parlor enjoy some of the best pizza and breadsticks around at the Bears Den. While there, take time to look at some of the pictures of the legendary bow hunter, Fred Bear. Visit the antique store, the Quilt Store, the Bike Shop, and the Rialto movie house, and the new North Country Corner, in addition to other downtown stores.
Enjoy the peaceful surroundings of our cabin while curled up in our porch swing or front porch rocking chairs. Listen and watch for the many birds, including hawks and occasionally a bald eagle. We supply the bird seed to keep the feeders filled. Take one of the two kayaks provided (Spring through Fall), down the path, through the woods, and slip into the peaceful Au Sable River for a gentle paddle. You very well might see an otter. Five minutes upstream from the dock will be your last sight of a cabin. (You'll only pass three!) You will be paddling through pristine wilderness. Once in awhile you might see a fly fisherman walking through the water. Paddle downstream from the dock and you will pass some beautiful cabins. If you really want to put in a few hours in the water you can paddle right into downtown Grayling!
We offer most modern conveniences. We provide board games, cards, checkers, puzzles and children's books. There is a charcoal grill right outside the screened-in back porch. Relax there and have your supper, read a book or stretch out and watch for deer or wild turkey.
