Cabin One is blessed with a covered entry way, great for storing your fishing gear during your stay. The cultured stone and original logs give this cabin a wonderfully cozy aesthetic. As you enter the home you will come into the kitchen on your right with a window viewing the river, dock, apple tree, and campfire area. Continuing there is the fridge built into the wall on your left as you turn the corner the full bathroom with stand up shower is located right before the first bedroom. Both bedrooms have a dresser, chair, and full size bed. That hallway area opens back up to the living area adjacent to the kitchen, there is a television and dining table along the right wall. Opposite the entry there is a covered porch with a wonderful view of the river.

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.

Property was great. I was surprised to see 3 other cabins grouped with us. The tavern is great but right across from the river to the cabins. They like to party at that tavern FS.

About the host

Host profile image
Mike and I have vacationed in northern Michigan for 30+ years and have always loved it. We now live up here permanently and have bought rental property and a restaurant. We love it all and are here to serve!

Why they chose this property

The North Branch of he AuSable is perfect for trout fishing, hunting, side by side, snowmobiling, etc. Lovells is a unique hidden gem from the rest of the world and we are happy to share it with you!

What makes this property unique

The North Branch of the AuSable River is best known for its brown trout. This is fly fishing territory. There is a lot of history here in this town that dates back to the late 1800. We were once a logging industry and the cabins and most of the buildings are old and were designed to house loggers! Enjoy some history and peace!
