3 Bedroom Cottage in Grayling

Welcome to our slice of heaven literally 100 ft from the famous Au Sable River. For those looking to spend time with family, read a book, fly fish for Brook-Brown-Rainbow trout, canoe or kayak or take in the wildlife, there is no place better than Northern Michigan, specifically the AuSable River Valley. Our cabin sits on 5 acres of wooded property and offers you everything you could possibly want to escape into the peaceful serenity that Northern Michigan offers. If you are looking to stare at the millions of stars at night, our cabin will exceed your expectations. The AuSable River Cabin is located on a prime stretch of the Holy Waters, a 'flies only', 'catch and release' section nationally recognized by people all over the world. Simply walk out off the back porch, wade into the river and experience fly fishing in our famed river. Feel free to enjoy the large deck overlooking the river or have a bon fire at night with friends and family.
The cabin is located within minutes from charming downtown Grayling where you can visit the quaint shops and restaurants. Other nearby attractions include Forest Dunes Golf Club which was just ranked #1 public golf course in America (10 minutes), Mackinac Island (85 miles north), Hartwick Pines State Park (15 minutes), Gaylord/Traverse City/Lake Michigan/Petoskey and many others.
Fly fishing shops include: Gates Au Sable Lodge (2.5 miles), Old Au Sable Fly Shop (9.5 miles) & Ron's Fly Shop (9.8 miles). All shops can supply, guide service, equipment & fly recommendations for the current hatch.
Since our cabin is located so close to thousands of acres of state land, discharging any firearms or fireworks on or around our property is strictly prohibited.
The cabin offers 3 bedrooms and one bathroom. The master bedroom has a queen bed while the other two rooms have oversized built in bunk beds. There are also 2 leather sofas in the living room. We offer a newly remodeled (2023) full kitchen which includes all utensils, microwave, stove/oven, refrigerator and a washer/dryer. All beds include linens and towels are provided. If you are lucky, you may see a Bald Eagle or Osprey flying up the river or perhaps deer in the back yard eating clover in the stream on the property. Our cabin's mission it to allow our guests to decompress with family, friends, or by yourself. Breathe the fresh air, listen to the river, sit by the stream and share space with all animals around the property. The cabin is on the river and in the woods so you may see bugs, you may have a "tick" hitch a ride when walking through the woods, so be aware and wear bug spray.
We are confident you will come back year after year!

Summary: This was a great location for my friends and me to go golfing and fishing
paul c. Aug 12, 2024 09:12:15 AM
Summary: Loved everything about our stay - great place to disconnect from the world and enjoy nature
Carey F. Aug 8, 2024 01:38:48 AM
Summary: This is the second summer we have stayed in this house. It's great! The owner very kindly worked with me to change dates when I ended up with a conflict with our original booking. The kayaking is perfect and it's close to lots of inland lakes for fishing if fly fishing isn't your thing. Highly recommend!
Stephanie K. Aug 7, 2024 10:51:08 PM
Summary: 3 bedrooms so plenty of room for our family of 5! The owner texted me prior to check in which was appreciated. The cabin is on the river so my husband went fishing a few times:)

Summary: We had a great time enjoying this property. It was exclusive and right on the Au Sable River just like advertised. Everything was neat as a pin and easy to use. We fished, canoed on the fast moving river and relaxed the whole weekend. Then we enjoyed several of the local restaurants and bakery as well.
Paul V. Jun 30, 2024 01:22:35 AM
Summary: Meticulously clean, new and well kept! Very peaceful! Perfect for fly fishing. Lots of wading opportunities. Great cover in river both natural and man made. Lots of bugs , nymphs, spinners, flies and terrestrials. Plenty of fish morning, afternoon and evening. Big browns, feisty. We can’t wait till return. Host Dave was excellent and communicative. Wader drying hooks and fly rod keepers on cabin walls. We highly recommend to all Trout Unlimited brethren. The Ausable at its best for the wading enthusiast!

Summary: PERFECTION! Walk out the front door 120 FEE and you are on the Au Sable River! Everything is very CLEAN and well-appointed with quality sheets, blankets & abundant bath towels. A clean, comfy bed & a good hot shower are the basis of great accommodations! There are exterior fly fishing pole & wader hangers, a nice deck w/comfy seating, a picnic table, charcoal grill, fire pit as well as all the necessary equipment to keep a tidy yard for your 4-leggedmember. 😊 The living & dining rooms easily sit 6 adults. Bedrooms accommodate 6 adults & are crazy quiet! It is amazing how quiet each bedroom is with plenty of storage including hangars-Thank You! Packing hangars is a pain. There is a functioning wood burning fireplace which will make an Autumn or winter stay super cozy. The kitchen had everything you could ask for, allowing us to cook most of our meals right there-at home. A coffee machine, toaster, dishes, grilling utensils, full size refrigerator/freezer, cooking & even baking equipment. There is a full-size washer/dryer and the secret to light the range top while cooking is: turn on the laundry closet lights, slide the doors left & voila-LIGHT! Free Wi-Fi, a large TV & a hard surfaced foyer for easy clean-up & storage of shoes. The owners were helpful, kept us informed & answered any question immediately. We have rented accommodations all over the USA and this cabin has been the absolute best rental we have experienced! We highly recommend this as one of the BEST!!

Summary: Can’t say enough about the AuSable Retreat!! This was our second year spending a week on the most beautiful river!! We saw eagles, deer, hummingbirds, ducks, geese, cranes and so much more!! The updates on the house were amazing, nice new kitchen, brand new washer/dryer and improvements on the outside of the cottage. Already making plans for next summer!!
Carey F. Aug 11, 2023 11:12:43 PM
Summary: The property is right on the Ausable River and the house was immaculate! It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The kayaking was great and we also enjoyed fishing on a nearby inland lake. We can't wait to go back!

Summary: Perfect property, can’t wait to come back next year!
