We will contact you to send your access code on the day of the arrival. The property manager, Whitney is available by cell phone for any concerns throughout the stay. We do ask that you reach out once you have checked out. There are several persons around the property for general cleaning and repairs, please feel free to reach out to anyone for assistance.

This building is located on the property with several other short term rentals and has plenty of room for parking trailers, and walking your furry friends. The town consists of the gas station, hardware store, the rental cabins, tavern, and the inn. The hardware store is open seasonally, as well as the hardware items there is a sweet bakery inside as well. The gas station Caids has been around about as long as we have, you can find your gas station snacks and some grocery essentials, they DO NOT have diesel REG and REC only. The Lovells Riverside Tavern is known for is amazing atmosphere and equally amazing food, hosting live entertainment every weekend, the patio can be viewed by the riverfront.

We allow access to the entire property, and provide several of your outdoor needs. There are several items we provide for our guests to utilize during their stay; two grills with propane, ashtrays, patio furniture, outdoor seating, campfire roasting spears, fire wood is provided mildly but should not be expected.

When you walk in, you will first be greeted by the cozy kitchen with a sink window peering over to the forest and river bank. All kitchen essentials are provided for your cooking and baking needs. We do provide dish washing essentials, and coffee during your stay. The kitchen opens up directly to the living area with the couch to your right and the dining table with television to your left. Turning the left corner you will come across the full bathroom with standing shower, filed with your bathing essentials. Both bedrooms are located on that side of the cabin as well, each have two windows and full beds, however the most amazing view is to be found from the dining table out the main window facing the river. In this cabin you will really have the best of both the wilderness and the riverfront.

The gas station Caids has been around about as long as we have, you can find your gas station snacks and some grocery essentials, they DO NOT have diesel REG and REC only. They do have some trail maps as does the tavern but they go very quickly when provided, please ask if needed. This area is a HUB for ATV side X side and snowmobiles, there are trails in every direction as well as river access.

About the host

Hosted by Whitney Mosser

Host profile image

The Mosser family in its entirety has moved upstate and all are now Lovells residents. On top of these lovely cabins we own the Lovells Riverside Tavern, and a large lodge and cabin down the road. We enjoy expanding the lodging industry because more people need to know about Lovells! Its a gorgeous town, with some of the kindest residents, and beautiful natural landscapes. It is also a hot spot for hunting, small and big game, Trout fishing, and tons more on the AuSable river. If you choose to stay here you will not be disappointed, please feel free to reach out to us for assistance with finding any recreational to do!

Why they chose this property

Our family chose this location because it is a beautiful hidden gem. We have fallen in love with our residents, and all our annual travelers. The nature life here is fantastic and a great escape from city life. Mike & Jenn started the adventure with their purchase of the lodge and Tavern, and shortly after their daughters Whitney and Jenna followed, including their grandchildren. If you're looking for a fun family spot, or just a quiet place to get away, this could be the spot for you.

What makes this property unique

This property was built in 1951, when the logging business was in full swing. The bridge between the Tavern and the Cabins used to be a bridge for the train that carried the logs across the river. These cabins were also used to home the logging workers during their stays. There is a ton of history behind both the Tavern and Cabins, the Tavern dating back to 1941. The best part is that these cabins are the original logs and ascetic.
