About this property

Dream Log Cabin on Big Creek

This log home was built in 2007 and features a spacious well supplied kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Hand crafted woodwork is found throughout the house. Two fireplaces compliment the great room and the lower level man cave. Three private bedrooms and a loft bedroom compliment the home. There are 2 1/2 bathrooms with a whirlpool tub in the master bath.

Located on a large section of private waters on Big Creek you can walk out the back door and fish secluded areas. Walking down the quarter mile driveway leads to vast areas of snowmobile and walking trails. Large sections of state land for deer hunting and upland game with this area being known for its grouse and woodcock populations.

Four miles from the world renowned fly fishing destination of the North and Main Branches of the AuSable River. The near by rivers have an abundance of natural trout in them for the fly fishing enthusiast. Local guides are available for instruction and float trips. The outdoor enthusiast is always within minutes of their destination.

Golfers are fifteen minutes from the world class Garland golf Course and only 40 minutes away from the beautiful courses in the Gaylord area.

Snowmobilers can take the driveway and go any direction, taking trails that cover huge areas of northern lower Michigan. Cross country skiers can travel 15 to 20 minutes to trails a Forbush Corners, Garland Resort or Hartwick Pines. Walking out the door and skiing on 60 acres which the homeowners often do is always an option.

If just relaxing and getting away from it all is your passion then enjoy the swing on the large front porch with your morning coffee or sit on the back deck overlooking a meadow with Big Creek flowing through it. A portion of the deck is screened for your comfort.
This log home is a hunting and fishing cabin. There are many wildlife and fish mounts throughout the house as well as pictures and books about hunting and fishing. If any firearms are on the property they will be locked in a safe.

All together this is what Northern Michigan is about.

We built this cabin because of it's abundance of wildlife and it's access to the local rivers. We have enjoyed the beauty that it presents to us on a daily basis.l

We loved it!!

My group and I loved the cabin and the location. The cabin was very clean and stocked with all the things you’d need. The location is very remote, but we really liked the peace and quiet of the area. Would definitely recommend this cabin and will probably be coming back!

Great spot for a group of friends

The property was amazing. Lots of space to play cornhole/frisbee. The creek was a little hard to get to but was perfect for cooling off. Host was awsome gave local contact if we needed anything urgent. 10/10 would go there again!

Great family get away

We stayed here with our 3 adult children and our young grandchildren. The property grounds were great with a large flat front yard and fire pit outback. The large barn style garage came in handy when it started raining right before our planned Cornhole tourney. The host was very responsive and left so many nice extras to make our stay easy.

Family vacation at the Guild’s Cabin

Our family of 6 adults stayed at the Guild’s beautiful cabin for a week over the 4th of July. We enjoyed every minute of it and all it had to offer. We enjoyed the beautiful view and deck as well as nightly camp fires. We saw lots of wildlife including a bear! The accommodations were great and lots of amenities throughout the cabin. We will definitely be back!

Great access to trails, lots of space to spread out

Came up with 2 families with children- lots of space to spread out. Kitchen had everything we needed. Only "issue" was the grill is quite poor - could use an upgrade. Great location, though. Thank you!

Great secluded getaway!

Great house and property! We had a great time and it’s very relaxing and would definitely go back. The only down side is really no cell reception except in the kitchen, but wasn’t a deal breaker we would just be more prepared for next time. Also, there wasn’t much of a path down to the creek but we still managed to make it there. Would be a perfect spot to clear a small area for some chairs and to be able to sit by the creek.

Nice getaway

We enjoyed our stay at the Dream Log Cabin. We planned a golf trip for our sons and found this listing that was relatively close to the golf course. The cabin has everything needed for your stay. Lots of fun things to look at in the home. Only drawback is that the trail to the creek isn’t maintained so there’s no view of the water or way to get to it. The property is very secluded if that’s what your looking for.

Very Peaceful Retreat

Our family of four spent a long holiday weekend at Rick and Ann's lovely cabin. The cabin was everything it promised to be - very tranquil and peaceful with no one to disturb us, except for the occasional woodland creature that kept us company while we spent time outside playing games and cooking over the campfire out back. This home is quite large, which is what we were looking for - for everyone to have their own space they could retreat to when they wanted to, as well as large gathering spaces for the family to have meals and spend time together. The home is very spacious and beautifully decorated. As the listing says, there is not great internet on the property or in the area, which was fine for us, as we were really looking to get away and unplug from everything for a few days. We would definitely love to come back here again in the future!

Peaceful, Quite and Comfortable Stay

We were four adults who golfed during the day and enjoyed the quite solitude in the evening. Appreciated the fire put, although we could have used more firewood. The whole house was like a lodge and very well furnished with everything you could want. The only thing we thought was missing was a map of the area and we would have liked to hiked to the nearest water, done some fishing and exploring, but could not find any cleared paths. Be sure to explain explicit directions to property, because you are correct…the GPS directions were way off!! It was a great adventure for us!

Perfect cabin in the woods

Property is quite elaborate about what it offers in amenities, including widespread worded views and absolute quietness. There were at least a dozen useful things we didn’t expect at the property and brought with us to realize that owners went extra mile to ensure convenient stay, including toothbrushes in all bathrooms. The cabin setting and interiors are so unique that we spent 2 hours just taking pictures. Thanks Rick and Ann. We made wonderful memories.

Smack dab in the middle of nature

Relaxing and restorative! We had 7 adults. Everyone had enough for privacy as well as interaction. Table easily sits 8. The living room with two couches and rocker were comfy and roomy. From the wonderful back porch we saw a fox, bald eagle, rose breasted grosbeak, and brown creeper and many other birds. Home and kitchen were well stocked. Comfortable relaxing and homey. We will be back.
