Abetter than advertised

Such a wonderful place, peace, quiet, relaxation and a fisherman's Paradise. It was 90° the last two days so air conditioning would have been nice but the place stayed fairly cool with the door shut and fans were provided.

This is a gem of a property - in a secluded area right on Big Creek (just walk into the creek to fish). It was a great home base for a weekend of trout fishing (brook trout on the Creek and rainbows on the Au Sable), tube floating, and family togetherness. Theodore was prompt and helpful in communicating and had some excellent guidance on fishing the Creek. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was well stocked, and there is a great front porch for relaxing in the mornings and evenings. Only minor drawback is the one and a half baths, which made showers a challenge for 8 of us at times. We would gladly stay again!

Fun For the entire family!

What a wonderful week we had making memories! The lodge was beautiful and we were surrounded by nature. We came up north to ride the ORV trails and spend time in the river.. We took a trip to Lake Huron and were lucky to only experience one rainy day. The cabin is close to outlet malls and driving distance to many lakes, parks and towns. We will return again soon.

Unwind from the Grind

Thank you for sharing your "Cozy" Brown Trout cottage with us. Everything was very clean, comfortable, and well stocked for a perfect escape. We absolutely enjoyed natures beauty that surrounds the area. This location was perfect for our kayak adventure on the AuSable. Big River was a little shallow this trip, no fish caught. This just gives us a reason to come back and try again. :) Thank you.

Lovely place. The house and surroundings were perfect for my family and grandchildren. Peaceful secluded, clean and comfortable. Easy access to the home and the hosts were very attentive. This was the first time that I had made the arrangements to get away with all of my adult children and grandchildren to spend quality time together. We all agreed that we wished we had more time off from our busy lives to stay longer. Definitely recommend and perhaps we shall spend a week here next year if we can get it organized. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us.

Fantastic Getaway!

This was such a wonderful place to have a getway up north. My brother, cousins and I do a once every other year up north trip. I liked this spot so much my husband and I would consider renting it again! It was a very clean cabin, easy check in. Gorgeous overlook and bridge to get to the creek. The cabin had so many appliances and cooking gear, I was impressed. I had brought some of my own items but didnt really need them. The owners could not have been nicer, had touched base with them and were so incredibly helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this spot to rent!! Exactly as described.
