6/10 Okay

Lisa O.

Just okay
The location is okay but we were mostly coming to get into the water and go canoeing which we were told there were canoes and kayaks on site and a place to drop in. That is correct however they did not mention the extremely steep incline hill of mud and roots to get into and out of the water and the length of the incline which is absolutely not doable so basically the ploy to get us on site and booked dropped many stars for our family. If I were to just rate the house that was a 4.

Was great location for snow trails
We stayed and felt was a great location, traveling with a child, i wouldn't pick this location. if you a couple just trying to get away that should be fine. talking with the actual owner, was a great experience. Easy check in... has a bit more then liked for added fees for the cabin condition.

Amazing getaway cabin "Up-North"
This little cabin reignited our love our northern lower Michigan! We had an amazing, relaxing stay here. The cabin is immaculately clean and even included pantry staples. I definitely overpacked! We were also thrilled our dog was allowed to stay with us. We spent most of our time down by the river. We even brought our kayaks with us but didn't need them due to the wonderful canoe that is also provided. Such a beautiful river to fish, wade and canoe on! The whole time we were there we never saw another person, even on the river! Loved the seclusion. We were sad (I think our dog was the saddest) we had to leave our new favorite little getaway spot but will definitely be back, if we don't buy a place of our own soon!

Secluded Cabin on a Lovely River
Quiet cabin, sitting on the dock or in the river itself is a splendid Michigan experience. Easy to find, but when you're on the river you feel like you're 100 miles from anyone else.

Cozy cabin for fun family time. Enjoyed fishing and relaxing. Property was a little tricky to find (in the dark) as mapping took us to a different driveway.

Beautiful Fall Getaway!
Great Northern Michigan getaway right on the Au Sable River. Right next to Harwick Pines and within an hour of Mackinac and just a little over an hour to Traverse City. The property managers were excellent. Quick, professional, accurate communication at all times! We loved our crisp Fall getaway, but will absolutely be looking to book this property again when we can get in the RIVER!

cute cabin within short distances of canoeing, hunting and fishing
we had a very pleasant stay. Cabin was cute, well stocked and clean. So many places to explore and to retire to the cabin to enjoy a campfire and relax . Many a good meals were prepared over the fire pit and charcoal grill. Jon was an extremely good host and we will have fond memories of this place
