The cabin is well taken care of and very clean. There were 6 of us and it was very comfortable. The owner has it well stocked for anything someone might need. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful and very peaceful. I did give 5 stars for skiing but obviously there was no sling to be done because of the time of year. I did not want the rating for the cabin to go down.

Wow! This is an amazing property right on the Au Sable!! We have stayed at numerous riverfront properties and this was (by far) the best value yet!! The entire protect has been meticulously maintained! This might sound odd but the water system was impeccable!!! I will definitely return to this home in the future!!

We had a great time at the Tranquil Cabin Retreat. We were just steps away from the amazing Au Sable river. We were able to fly fish daily. Al the amenities were top notch and the property was well kept. In addition to that, the sauna was nice and relaxing.We had a small issue that I contacted the owner about. She had the issue resolved within an hour. Looking forward to staying at this property in the future.

This property was all as described in the description. One of the funnest parts was watching canoers go by and get caught up on a log and flipped over. If you are looking for that kind of entertainment. This place is for you also. Pretty good chance we will come back next year. It's really secluded and away from everybody. If you want to get away this is where to go

BETTER than expected

Our visit to this beautiful home in the woods, was unbelievable. Clean, easy to get to, quiet, fishing in the backyard, and the decor was top notch. Someone really put a lot of thought into making this little place look cozy. And they sure did a fine job. Thank you for sharing your lovely place with our family.

Beautiful and well maintained property on a secluded and peaceful part of the river; while also just minutes from town. House was very clean, adorably decorated, and had everything we needed. We are already discussing our next trip to plan here!

A Gem on the Au Sable

This well-appointed cabin met our needs perfectly. Upon arriving, it was clear that someone had put some love into the cabin. This little gem was recently updated, and the grounds were well-maintained with parking for several vehicles. There was plenty of space to do some practice casting before heading out onto the river. A little dock was easily accessible and the perfect place to enjoy a steaming mug of morning coffee while watching the river babble by. There was a picnic table, charcoal grill, and comfortable Adirondack chairs, with three canoes and a clothesline to dry out our waders. For a family gathering, there is plenty of lawn space (if you wish to bring yard games), and a firepit for marshmallow roasts, with plenty of stacked firewood for our entire stay (including a cart for transporting it from the woodpile to the pit). The cabin itself was pristinely clean, with new appliances (including dishwasher and microwave) and fully stocked kitchen with coffee maker and toaster. Next to the kitchen was a laundry room with full-size washer and dryer. The living room was comfortable, with a bedroom (king bed) and full bathroom on the main floor. On the second story were two bedrooms (each with a queen-sized bed), and a loft area (two twin beds) between the bedrooms; all were comfortable. The location is perfectly situated for the purpose of our visit: fly-fishing on the Au Sable in a serene and private setting. We would return in a heartbeat.
