Holy Waters Hideaway

The property was exactly as described and the pictures were representative of the space and surrounding property. The property was gorgeous. The host was fantastic and so personable and he walked us through everything every step of the way. The small cabin is right on the AuSable river and we waded in a fly fished right in front of the cabin. It was quiet and peaceful, and you could sit and watch an occasional kayak or canoe go by. The drive into Grayling is only about 10 miles and there was even a cute restaurant and fly fish shop within 2 miles. The trout pond was so cool. Feeding the trout was a treat. We had an awesome time and hope to visit again soon!

great spot on the river

My dad and I stayed for a couple days at the Brookie cabin. Was a superb spot for us to home-base out of while we fished the Au Sable. Cabin was clean and comfortable and had all the amenities one would need for a fishing getaway. I even caught a fish out n front of the cabin with my grandfathers antique fly rod set up.

Perfect fly fishing retreat!

The log cottage was quaint and cozy, the lot full of trees and wildlife, and the riverside location was so lovely. Great flyfishing wading in the holy waters. Frank was a dynamite host, super caring, friendly, and conscientious. We loved everything about the stay!

Nice little vacation

We enjoyed staying in this gorgeous cabin on the Au Sable. We didn't know the "holy waters" meant only fly fishing, but the hosts generously leant us kayaks that made the river experience completely memorable. The hosts are very kind and helpful. You do have to feed the fish, though it will also be an experience you will not forget. This was a fun adventure I'd recommend to anyone. Enjoy!

Fly fishing enthusiast utopia

Beautiful little rustic, but with all the modern conveniences, cabin. Just feet from the main stream of the AuSable River and very private. We enjoyed a fantastic five day stay and spent hours and hours lounging on the generous river side deck and the attached screened in porch that was available for use. We'll look forward to a return trip at our earliest convenience!

Better than we could have ever dreamed. Accommodations were incredible. In the morning, we sat on the porch and watched the water. We enjoyed the cabin, the trout pond, the fishing, and even the tree lined drive in. Thank you Frank and Kerry! It won’t be our last visit!!

Fly fishing cabin

Our stay at the Brookie house cabin at Three Falls was a wonderful experience. This was a long weekend getaway for me and my 3 sons. It was the perfect location and accommodations for our fly-fishing trip on the AuSable river. The cabin was well equipped with a beautiful location on the banks of the AuSable. we were able to walk out the back door and wade directly into the river to fish. We also enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evening enjoying a cocktail while listening to the river in the background. Paco and Karry were gracious hosts making us feel at home. Hope to be back next year for another fly-fishing trip.

The place was more than we expected. The cabin we stayed in was amazing, cozy and very comfortable. It had every thing we could need or want. The screened in back porch was the highlight. We had 2 beautiful kayak trips. We saw lots of wildlife, with the highlight being a Bald Eagle up close! Great hosts! Overall great experience.
