Check in was as easy as directions instructed, the house was clean, and was decorated in a warm homely apearence. The wifi was easy to access, and tv worked. The road in was very dusty, but when in the north all roads are dusty.

Amazing property!!

We loved the location and the home is full of great amenities. The wood burning stove is a great feature and we were able to walk to public land for hunting. The layout of the home is very nice and liked the kitchen. We hope to be back soon!!

Peaceful vacation

We came to town with our family for a family get together in Grayling. We had a fantastic time and the home was so relaxing, we felt at ease having everything we needed. The host was very kind and responsive as well. Highly recommend this home for your stay in Grayling. It’s a little out of Town, but worth the drive for the peace and relaxation the property provides.

Annual family summer trip

We all had a great stay. Kids already talking about wanting to return next year to the house. Kids enjoyed the swing out in the front. Main floor bedroom could use curtains. Other than that, everything was wonderful. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Cute Cabin in the woods

We did enjoy our stay. It had everything there we needed for a short week vacation. Nice and secluded in the woods. Definitely enough bed for a group of people to stay. Had all the amenities in the kitchen and laundry. There was video game consoles which was a plus for the kiddos. Cute outdoor patio to relax and enjoy the scenery. The only cons were all the moths flying everywhere and it did get muggy and hot inside and there was only one wall A/C unit downstairs which didnt help when sleeping upstairs at night. Overall, we had a good time.

Quiet retreat in the woods

Friends and family were quite impressed and look to come back next year. I looked for a spot that could house us for 3 days following the Michigan Trout Unlimited Fly Fishing School. Given we had five guys, I needed five beds and this worked out beautifully. Although not directly on a river, the location near the North Branch of the AuSable and fairly close to the Main Stream and South Branch of the AuSable was nice. Oven birds greeted us daily from the surrounding woods and not far from the house a bobcat ran across the road (M-72), the first I’ve ever seen. The beds were quite comfortable except perhaps for the third bed (single) in the large bedroom. My brother said it was a bit hard. (I told him he was just soft.) The kitchen was well supplied with pots, griddle, bowls, plates, cups, etc. Drip coffee maker and Keurig both available. Two full baths (well, showers) served us well. Comfortable sitting room and TV….. basically anything someone could want! Only suggestion from the group was to provide a laminated instruction list so we didn’t need to wade through VRBO when we were checking out. We did want to make sure we left the house in good shape. We look forward to a return visit next year! Thanks for sharing your home!!

Golf vacation.

The property was perfect for what we were looking for. The house was more than we needed but we did need the porch to sit and relax. Lots of room inside too. Nice and clean. No close neighbors, no noise just peace. This would also be a great place for snowmobilers! Lots of trails to ride. We would rent it again. Great place.

Cozy cabin

We wanted to say what a great stay we had. Very nice cabin. Easy access to town and the river. Host was quick to get back to us with any questions we had. We will definitely be booking with them again. It was nicely tucked in the woods for privacy. Loved the screened in porch to relax. Thanks again Linsi
