About this property

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

This Cabin is an Adult Only Rental. We welcome 2 night minimum stays, weekly rentals and 3 night minimum stays on Holiday weekends.

This cabin home was charming and lovely. The setting is so peaceful and serene. We enjoyed our stay very much. Unfortunately it rained the entire weekend but we still hiked the boardwalk and the Wolf Creek Trail (the rain didn’t stop us). Nick and Laura are wonderful hosts. We highly recommend this place.

This rental is fantastic. The home is clean, comfortable and surrounded by a large treed lot. The property includes a creekside deck, a firepit, and a screened porch to enjoy the sights and sounds. It is a real gem of a location, surrounded by nature, peaceful and private. As advertised, it's "a perfect northern get-away."
