FALL UP NORTH
Fall is one of our favorite times at the cottage. Enjoy the changing colors, crisp mornings and quiet evenings by the water. Spend the day exploring nearby ORV/ATV trails, fishing, golfing or simply enjoying the outdoors, then come home to dinner on the Blackstone and a fire under the stars.
Visiting during deer season? The cottage is conveniently located near state land, making it a great home base for hunters who want a comfortable place to relax at the end of the day.

One of the best parts of staying here is simply spending time outside. Relax by the river, enjoy dinner outdoors, gather around the fire pit in the evening or cook for the whole group on the Blackstone griddle.

About the host
Hosted by Trena Urbin
We love spending time Up North and know how nice it is to have a comfortable place to relax after a day outside. As hosts, we try to make your stay easy from the moment you arrive. We’ve stocked the cottage with the things we appreciate when we travel—comfortable spaces, a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of ways to enjoy time together. We’re always available if you need us, but otherwise the cottage is yours to settle in and enjoy!
Why they chose this property
We love this area because it offers the laid-back Up North atmosphere we were looking for while still having plenty to do nearby. The cottage sits along the Tittabawassee River with access to Secord Lake, so spending time near the water is a big part of what makes it special. The surrounding area is also great for fishing, boating, ORV riding, golf, hunting and simply getting outdoors. We’re close to state land and trails, yet the cottage itself feels peaceful and tucked away.
What makes this property unique
It’s the combination of waterfront living and a comfortable, welcoming cottage that makes this place special. There’s room for up to 8 guests, with three bedrooms, 1½ baths and plenty of space to spend time together. Outside, guests can enjoy the riverfront setting, fire pit, Blackstone griddle and seasonal kayaks and pedal boat. Inside, you’ll find a cozy living space with an electric fireplace, smart TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, full kitchen and laundry. It’s a place where you can spend the day exploring and come back to dinner on the Blackstone, a fire outside and a relaxing evening with family or friends.
