This property was amazing. We loved the views of the river, the neighborhood was quiet. The master bedroom had the best view to wake up to every morning. The host was amazing, very easy to communicate with and very punctual on responding.

Such a cool property and my only problem was I didn't get to enjoy more time at the house. The river, the setting, everything was perfect and I'll be very interested in staying agian with more time to fish and explore.

What a great place! The house was charming with neat touches throughout. The deck overlooking the river was super peaceful and relaxing. Somer was a great communicator and all was clean, organized, and ready for a fun and relaxing weekend spending time with our adult children and their spouses. Plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the peace and quiet and the sound of the river. We even caught some brook trout! Highly recommend.

The cabin has a beautiful view of the river. When I made the reservation, I asked if my avid fly fishermen could fish right in front of the cabin. Our host said absolutely. She did not mention that a flood made their dock temporarily unusable. Wading from the bank was marshy and muddy, but our fishermen had fun and caught (and released) several 6-7 inch trout. After the dock is repaired, fishermen should be able to cast to some very nice pools and eddies below the rapids. The cabin is sweet but has some unusual features. The back entrance to the house goes through the master bedroom, and the master bedroom does not have a door for privacy. The kitchen has an air fryer and blender and two coffee makers but is otherwise very sparsely appointed (like camping). We enjoyed the gas grill and fire pit and Al fresco dining beside the river. The bedrooms are simple and adequate. The cabin wasn’t super clean, and it was difficult to keep clean even though we removed our shoes. We couldn’t find a dustpan for the broom. I would highly recommend adding a cordless vacuum and Swiffer mop. In summary, this cabin is rustic (not fancy) on a beautiful piece of property next to the Au Sable. The kids enjoyed riding their bikes and playing outside. The cabin accommodated our multigenerational family nicely.

The house has potential, but the cleaning needs to be confirmed. A lot of carpenter ants in the house.
