The home was amazing and had everything plus more that you could need. The decor is beachy and looks like it could be featured in a magazine. The beds & pillows were so comfortable. The kitchen has everything needed to cook for a big family. Having two living rooms was a bonus. We had our four teenagers with us & they had a blast. The kids fished, kayaked, went swimming, rode bikes to get ice-cream and played with the backyard games. They did lots of swimming in the river & Lake Huron is a short walk with an amazing beach. The owners are awesome and very accommodating! We Highly recommend for families. It was an amazing and relaxing vacation!

Home away from home!

We come to Oscoda every 4th of July to see family and struggled to find a rental to fit our needs. Jerry and Jen were the best hosts! They had plenty of supplies, games, entertainment and the rooms were so welcoming and comfortable! The Maui pad was such a bonus! We will be back next year!

Fantastic getaway. We didn't have the greatest weather, but the River house is so cozy and cheerful that it more than made up for it. We were able to get some hiking, fishing and kayaking in. They are great hosts.

Perfect little A-Frame with all you need!

This cottage is the sweetest little property. We had such a good time at this location which is just off the bridge, directly on the AuSable river. You can watch the boats/tubers from the large deck with sofa, /chairs, or walk downtown, or visit the beach all by foot. The house is renovated in a luxurious way with fun decor. The beds and bedding are hotel quality. This house is very well-stocked and even had items we didnt even think about---bikes, canoes, bluetooth speaker, K-Cups, etc. The owner is close by and very willing to help. She invited us to use her waterfront and toys. Will certainly stay here again when visiting family in the area!

Best hosts ever!

We've stayed at rental properties all over, in this and other countries, and Jerry and Jen are probably the best hosts we've ever had. I was nervous about having the hosts right next door, but it turned out to be such a bonus as they were incredibly helpful and friendly and made us and our guests feel so welcome. The highlight of the trip for our kids was all the fun they had on the Maui mat that Jerry pulled out for them to use on the river! The house was was lovely, clean, and incredibly well-appointed...it had everything you'd need, and even some stuff you didn't realized you'd need! The location was perfect for quick bike rides into town for ice cream or the lake beach, fishing off the dock, or kayaking the river or boating to the lake. I can't recommend this place highly enough!

Jen & Jerry are 2 of the kindest people I’ve ever met and did everything to make our stay as wonderful as possible. The house was the perfect size for our family of 5, it was extremely clean and stocked with lots of things you would forget at home. The location on the river was awesome, the kids could have fished all day and didn’t want to leave. Thank you Jen & Jerry for your hospitality and an amazing place to stay, we’ll definitely be coming back!
