About this property
Hideout in the Woods
A down to earth 4 bedroom, 2 bath home nestled in the woods that features 2 large gathering rooms (one is a theater room) and a huge covered front porch. There is a full kitchen and two separate eating areas. We also have an external gameroom/hangout in our big red barn called the Hideout Saloon.
The main part of the house was built by my grandad in 1946.
The trim around the doors and windows are all made from aged pine that he had saved in the 1950's.
We have central air and heat.
There is a 4 foot fire ring perfect for cooking, making s'mores, or just relaxing.
There is a washer and dryer for your use.
We have a charcoal grill for you to use...bring your own charcoal and starter fluid.
There is a tankless water heater so you can take back to back showers. Sorry no bathtubs.
Come relax and just chill. The sandy beach is only a mile away as is the rest of town or relax on our 42ft covered porch
Firewood is available to use if it is in the shed. If not, then Jack can deliver a full cord of oak if you desire for around $80. Please contact him directly prior to your stay and mention that you are staying at Hideout in the Woods. 989-370-0822. He is cash only and can dump the wood right by the firepit.
The Hideout Saloon is now open and equipped with a pool table, dart board, foosball, sound system, player piano, and custom made bar. This space can be heated by 2 propane heaters that we provide along with the tanks. You are responsible for the propane.
Make sure you checkout the pictures. Please note that the Hideout Saloon is available to you, but please do not review us on its cleanliness as it lives in the woods in an old pole barn.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Steve Vaughan
We also own an Internationally award winning BBQ sauce company (UncleStevies.com). I have worked half my life in construction and the other half in IT. I love the woods, hiking, camping, canoeing, hunting. This cabin is our go to place to get away.
Why they chose this property
My great great grandfather came to Oscoda from Saginaw in 1853. There was not much going on. He later returned in 1862 and established the farm in 1864. This cabin is built on the same spot as the one the family built that burned down in 1911 with the two towns Au Sable and Oscoda burned to the ground.
The majority of the renovations were done by my wife, my kids, and myself. We spent nearly 2 years driving up every weekend to work on it.
At one point, the family owned several hundred acres of land and had a cattle farm on it. some of the old fence can still be found as you walk around.

What makes this property unique
We have a super large covered porch perfect for rainy days or watching the thunderstorms at night.
Our Hideout Saloon is our own creation that is our take on a Wild West Saloon that you would have found in the Northwoods. It features a custom made bar, pool table, foosball, darts, player piano, and sound system. This is available to you at no extra charge.
We offer two large gathering rooms. One has a projector and bluray player. Both are equipped with sound systems.
All of the log begs were hand built by us. We felled the trees, dragged them to the house, de-barked them, and created each bed to be unique.
The large barn style doors and the trim in the house were from wood that my granddad pulled from the river and store to use one day. He passed away in 1957 never getting the chance to use them. I am sure he would be proud that we finally used them on the cabin.
My wife built the large table from extra floor boards we found in the attic while remodeling to commemorate the family heritage we have up there.
