The home is just four miles from the renowned Mason Tract (flies-only water) making it ideal for trout fishing, kayaking, and canoeing enthusiasts. Outdoor adventure continues located 10 minutes from beautiful Higgins Lake, and just 10 minutes from Forest Dunes Golf Club. A 2 car garage is available for your use along with 2 canoes, a variety of skis, and plenty of firewood.

This big house is perfect for a family stay. I've stayed here three times with my kids and it's always been a great experience. The kitchen is big and has everything you need to prepare meals. The house itself is very clean and organized. Super close (walking distance) to kayak livery and not far from Grayling. Being able to bring pets is a great bonus! My dog loved visiting the river in front of the property every day. If you're considering staying here, I highly recommend.
