Beautiful home on the Ausable River. We enjoyed our stay very much. Very quiet with very little canoe traffic (I believe we only saw one in 6 days). We were very impressed with how clean the home was and the beds were all very comfortable. Darlene is very responsive to any questions.
Beautiful property with plenty of space for relaxing on the river. Easy river access, and a lot of wildlife: butterflies, birds, mink, snakes. Big kitchen with the wildest stove I've ever seen. Close to plenty of canoe/kayak rentals and Hartwick Pines state park.
Everything about this property exceeded any expectation I had. The view- the land/rockscaping that takes you down to the river is just beautiful. The river is so close to the house the views are stunning every direction you look. There is a “patio” area that is literally on the river with comfortable furniture and is covered and dry even when it rained. The house is immaculate, clean and so comfortable. The decorating is just so cool and inviting it is hard to describe. The beds and bedding are top notch. We travel and use VRBO very often and this is the most unique and spectacular house we have stayed in.we look forward to going back. You will love the host too, she was just charming!!
The cabin was everything we expected and then some. We feel in love with the place and plan on a return trip in the future. Darlene is a great host. She is quick to answer if you have questions and really cares about her renters. She goes above and beyond to make your stay great. I can’t say enough about the place. It’s beautiful, very clean, very safe and you won’t want to leave. It is definitely a little piece of paradise. The river is so relaxing and fun. Thank you Vrbo for helping us find our perfect vacation spot and thank you Darlene for sharing your beautiful cabin with us.
Absolutely beautiful place to stay on the river! You can toss your kayaks & paddle boards in the river right outside the cabin for a 45 minute float to Kellogg's bridge. We did that over & over again! The cabin is just like the pictures. So beautiful! So clean! The host is very kind, helpful & responsive! She offered us more firewood when we ran out the last night. She also offered to drop us off for longer kayak trips but we were quite satisfied with the 45 minute trips. We enjoyed putt putt golf & a nice hike in Gaylord (40 minute drive from cabin) kayaking, campfires, grilling out, cornhole & simply sitting by the river. I miss it all & hope to go back again! Very impressed with the cabin & host! I will say make sure you bring all your favorite drinks & food. We couldn't find a lot of things we were looking for at the grocery stores but we eat a vegan diet so it was a bit more challenging. But we LOVED this place!!

About the host
Hosted by Darlene Karl
I originally started hosting in Bokeelia, Fl a quiet area where old Florida is still found. Then I spotted this unique property in Michigan on the river. Now I have the best of both worlds.
Why they chose this property
The beauty of the river the fact that my neighbors are not on top of me and the relaxed sound of the rushing river.
What makes this property unique
The large A Frame home is one I’ve never experienced before. The view overlooking the river is magical. The limestone steps that take you to the gazebo over the water. They are rare to find as they have to be grandfathered in. I’m so lucky to have one!
