The property was great! It had everything we needed. They had a guest book with previous recommendations that we found super helpful! We enjoyed the hammocks, hot tub, and feeding the goats and chickens. The beds were a bit uncomfortable but chairs and couch were super comfy. We would love to plan a trip here again!

Perfect stay and just what I was looking for for a quiet weekend with kayaking, star gazing, and being close to nature. Hosts were kind and attentive and communicated well while still giving me space to enjoy my time. Would definitely stay again. Also, their dog Wren is such a sweetheart. An unexpected addition to the trip that was really special.

Ideal Location

Had a fantastic time at this property. When we were not chasing Hex until the wee hours of the morning, we spent a lot of time on the wonderful patio taking in the fresh air, the gorgeous view and the sounds and sights of nature (witnessed 4 deer hanging out in the middle of the Au Sable!). Highly recommend this property!

Golf Trip

Some friends and I planned a golf trip at Forest Dunes Golf Club. We arrived late at night and got a little mixed up about which entrance to to use, but the owners cleared that up ASAP. It's a great spot on the river; very quiet and peaceful. We had an excellent stay!

Great spot on the holy waters

The house was just as described. Hitting the hot tub after a long day on the river was a great perk. The large patio and fire pit were great for hanging out. Beds were comfortable and linens were clean. Firewood was available for purchase on-site. Everything was set up and super convenient, all we had to do was worry about catching fish. Host was extremely helpful and quick to answer questions. Will definitely stay again.

Clean but not private

The description does not indicate you are sharing the place with the owner directly upstairs. Only thing the listing states is that it’s an “apartment” well that isn’t a good indication. Some people rent out whole places as an apartment. Not much privacy, it was hard to be comfortable. My husband walks with a cane due to an electrical accident making the stairs were hard to navigate down to the entry door especially in the dark. It would’ve been nice if they would’ve turned the porch light on at the back door since I told them we’d be arriving late. It was just weird staying at someone’s place while they lived upstairs and you could hear everything. The heat was also not blowing into the entire space for a whole day before we figured out the vents were all closed. Nice location and clean but next time I’ll ask more questions I guess.

Great place on the river

This is my second time staying here. It is a wonderful location on the river and very peaceful. The addition of the steps down to the entrance was great. Very easy to access. It is very comfortable and I was pleasantly surprised that the Wi-Fi was strong enough for me to teach a live online class while I was there. I would highly recommend this place, but I don’t want you to come so there is more room for me :)

Beautiful farm/river getaway!

We went for a couple days over our kid's spring break and it was an awesome place to stay. Got to hang out with the goats and chickens, have a fire and roast marshmallows, and soak in the hot tub. The hosts were great communicators and were very accommodating. We will definitely be back again!

Not much for privacy

I booked a weekend away for me and my wife and was looking for some decent privacy. We didn’t see anywhere in the description that we would be staying in somebody’s basement. They advertise a hot tub. the hot tub is just big enough for two people and it sits right underneath of the homeowners balcony. I messaged the owners letting them know we wouldn’t be staying there because we were expecting something a little more private and I never actually got a response from them. The basement isn’t actually a bad living space and would likely be just fine for a group of friends trying to fish the holy waters. But I wish they would be a little more descriptive of the fact they will be living right upstairs and you’ll be able to hear them eating dinner.

51st anniversary getaway

The home and setting is really nice. We appreciated everything was very neat and clean. The decor reflects the river setting. Because of the weather, and limited time to visit things we wanted to see, we had minimal time on site. There are several gravel roads to the home. We are used to them, some may want to know that in advance. Some basic instructions on what's expected at checkout, how to lock the outside door, operate the hot plate, and use the Roku TV would be helpful for those of us technically challenged. A little sitting area by the river would be great. Minor things. Overall we had a great time and would do it again.

relaxing getaway in a scenic place

The property is off the beaten path, yet only minutes from downtown Grayling which has some good restaurants. It has a scenic view of the Au Sable River and places to relax (hammocks, benches, chairs and tables.) The cabin is clean and comfortable with a number of amenities. Close to state parks and canoe/kayak rentals.

Relaxing stay on the Ausable

Very well maintained property, indoors and out with lots of extras and amenities. The setting is peaceful and beautiful and the hosts are friendly and welcoming. The lower level apartment was very clean, comfortable, cozy and nicely decorated. King size bed is quite comfortable. The hosts have thought of everything you could need plus more to make for a great stay.
