A perfect couples getaway in the northwoods! We immediately felt at home in the quaint house and beautiful property. The riverside setting was very scenic and relaxing, and also offered recreational opportunities such as fly fishing and kayaking (kayaks provided on site). The house was cozy, clean and fully furnished. Emily the host provided pleasant communication. An excellent base to explore the Grayling-Gaylord area. We hope to stay there again!

This is a lovely, private and picturesque getaway. The frontage on the river is spectacular! There are several indoor and outdoor seating areas to enjoy the view from. Very clean and well appointed living quarters. Well located for both summer and winter activities. We have family in the area and hope to be able to come back to this special place!
