This was our second time staying here. The cabin, property, and the hosts are top notch. Sitting around the fire on the river bank after kayaking is so relaxing, a true hidden gem.

We really enjoyed our stay in the very well decorated and comfortable cabin. It was also the cleanest, freshest place we have ever stayed. The setting was beautiful and serene. The grounds are very well kept. Watching the river was very relaxing....and fishing there was fun. Just walk out the door and there you are. There is so much history with the cabin and area too.Colleen and her husband were very welcoming. They live on the property, but there is great privacy or you can enjoy a chat.We enjoyed exploring the area.We would certainly stay in their cabin again.

Absolutely loved our stay on the Holy Waters. We came to fly fish, and it didn't disappoint. The grounds and cabin are adorable- a real dream of a retreat. Our dogs had a blast playing in the little canal alongside the cabin. It's just 10 min to Grayling for restaurants and breweries. It was perfect.
