Great location and secluded as well!

This was the perfect spot for me and my 2 dogs to spend the weekend while visiting friends in the area. I liked the privacy and river access as well. The place is clean, but a little outdated (to be expected from a rustic cottage). I would certainly stay there again!

About the host

Hosted by Ken Payette

Host profile image

I grew up in Southfield, Michigan and currently reside in St. Petersburg, Florida.
I love northern Michigan and enjoy being out in nature and want to provide the best experience possible for my guests.

Why they chose this property

I really like the location on the South Branch Au Sable River. It's an ideal location for taking canoe trips from Wallace Park in Roscommon to the local canoe outfitter or to
the property. And also for taking canoe trips downstream to Chase Bridge and longer trips through the Mason Tract to Smith Bridge. Also because the property has adjoining wooded parcels.

What makes this property unique

The fact that it is surrounded by two wooded parcels on the river which other nearby properties don't have. Other properties have homes or cottages adjacent to them and not surrounded by woods like this one.
