A Perfect Northern Get-Away On The Scenic Big Creek In Luzerne

This is a very clean, warm, cozy and relaxing 2 bedroom vintage cabin located within the Huron National Forest on the crystal clear Big Creek, a main tributary to the Ausable River. You will be pleased to find a host of basic amenities. This is the perfect place to unplug from your busy life and enjoy watching the various wildlife and many bird species, reading a book & dining in the screened porch while watching and listening to the river, not to mention the starry night campfires. Your stay can include many outdoor activities, such as: visiting the large neighboring Amish community with their tidy farms and unique stores, fishing, tubing, kayaking, canoeing, ATV riding, hiking, scenic overlooks and much more. We find that when many of our guests arrive they prefer to just stay and enjoy the very unique, quiet and natural surroundings

Big Creek Cabin

It’s not often that I write a review, but in this case it is warranted. The cabin was a true find. Clean , peaceful and well cared for. Wild life was abundant and provided hours of entertainment. It was a short drive to town and other points of interest. We had a chance to speak with Nick the host about the history of the cabin and could see the pride he has for both the cabin and the memories of the man who built it. The cabin is well stocked if you like to cook. The beds are very comfortable. Nick, thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us.

This cabin is very charming, quiet, and tranquil. It is a slice of paradise. The smell of fresh pine and watching the wild life while drinking coffee in the mornings was very relaxing.

Relaxing Getaway

We love getting away Up North. The cabin has been well maintained with love and pride throughout its life. We enjoyed morning coffee listening to birds and watching lots of wildlife from the porch. The dock was perfect to experience yoga outdoors. The cabin is well equipped and has a great set up for cooking on the gas grill or on the campfire. Big Creek was cool and refreshing during the June heat wave. I even took a quick river tube ride from the main road to the cabin. We never left the property or turned the tv on. Just loved being outside, present in the moment enjoying nature. This is our fourth stay with at Nick and Laura's properties (first at the red cabin). Always great communication. Highly recommend.

Relaxing, enjoyable stay

Our stay at the Red Cabin was wonderful! My husband was the first one inside, and he came out and said "this is a really nice cabin!" I totally agreed with him! It was a great value for the money and had everything (and more) that you could possibly need - even scotch tape!! Immaculately clean and decorated so cute. Quiet area along the creek - we sat down on the dock and enjoyed the fall day with cocktails. Communication with the owners was first rate - they replied to our texts almost immediately and were very friendly. Ate 3 times at Ma Deeters - met the owner who was super nice, and watched the Lions game on the outside patio TV. Other than having a little trouble finding the cabin the first couple times (especially in the dark!) it was a perfect long weekend! We said we need to come back in the summer and enjoy the creek more. Now that we know how to find it, we'll have to come back!! Thanks for everything!

Better signage

The property was very clean. A little hard to find when you have never been in the area. The guys asked someone and they told him there wasn't such a place and that they were scammed. The one downside was not being able to fish off the dock in front of the cabin we understand the reasoning, but the main reason the three brothers gathered together was to go fishing. We weren't able to find a place to fish. The host was easy to communicate with and the price was reasonable. Great place to just relax.
