Secluded, beautiful location. We loved the layout of the house. The soaking tub was a nice bonus. Kitchen had plenty of dishes, utensils, appliances, etc. DVDs and board games available for rainy weather. Nice deck for listening to birds and enjoying nature. Follow the host's advice and bring a 4WD vehicle!

fly fishing adventure

We had a great time staying at this cabin in the woods. It was on a great remote spot on the Upper manistee river. The location was ideal for ease of access to world class fly fishing.

A Very Nice Getaway

My family and I really enjoyed our time here. A great location for everything "Up North", spent time at Hartwick Pines, Gaylord, Grayling, Otsego Lake, and Charlevoix all in a four day weekend as it was conveniently located to all. After spending the day out it was great to come back and relax while kids played about. Very impressed and would recommend.

Another perfect vacation!

This was our second consecutive year staying at this property. We love the seclusion and tranquility it provides our family. The kids played in the woods and we kayaked the river launching directly in front of the house. The fires at night were excellent and the stars were out in abundance. We had a fantastic vacation!

The little house in the Big Woods.

Everything about the house was top notch. New, well decorated and all amenities. Good fishing in the Ausable and Manistee Rivers. Two things to know: it's at the end of a mile long sandy two track, not for a low slung city car; and there are twenty-one steps up to the living level, not for the faint of heart.
