Welcome to our cabin on the AuSable River. Our cabin is 50 feet from the river with a slightly elevated private setting that offers you everything you could possibly want to escape into the peaceful serenity Northern Michigan offers. Whether it is fishing, hiking, golfing, kayaking, canoeing or simply escaping to a peaceful relaxing environment, our cabin will suit your needs.

The cabin offers a riverside screened-in porch, 2 bedrooms and one bathroom. The master bedroom has a queen bed while the second bedroom has two sets of bunk beds. We offer a full kitchen, gas grill, washer/dryer and television with DVD. All linens and towels are provided.

The cabin is ideal for 2-4 adults or 2 adult and 2-4 children. We limit the number of adults to 4.

We're located on a prime stretch of the “Holy Waters”, a 'flies only', 'catch and release' section of the AuSable River. Nationally recognized by people all over the world.

Begin or end your kayak/canoeing trip from our dock. Or visit the nearby canoe and kayak liveries in Grayling or Roscommon for your float on the AuSable River.

Grayling is home to the Manistee and AuSable River, which are among the premier trout streams in the nation, offering over one hundred miles of cool, crystal clear streams to explore. Boat access is near by. This cabin is in a prime location. The North Branch AuSable, South Branch AuSable/Mason Tract, Forest Dunes Golf Course and downtown Grayling is literally 10 minutes away.

For those of you that enjoy winter sports, the cabin is located inside the snow-belt region of Michigan. The annual snowfall in this region is significant. Many snow-shoeing, down-hill skiing and cross-country skiing access areas are nearby. We limit our guests to quiet sportsman. No deer hunting, 2-4 wheel recreational vehicles or snowmobiles.

    Many thanks to Wendy and David for sharing their nature sanctuary with us! It was truly a magical experience. Inside the cabin our every comfort was met with cozy furniture, nice bedding and a well equipped kitchen. We relaxed by a campfire by the riverside with complimentary firewood from the owner. We are not fishermen, but we enjoyed sitting on the dock of the river as a couple of boats and wading fishermen went by. Thank you to the housekeeper for providing a spotless place!!! This cabin is at the top of favorites! We hope to return —-with a fishing pole .

    It’s always a perfect stay at Wendy’s cabin on the Au Sable. Our 4 kids came for the second year in a row and couldn’t wait to giggle in the cozy bunk beds. We all went out and caught trout on the river directly in front of the dock. The sunroom was the perfect calm each morning with a cup of coffee. It’s immaculate and beautifully decorated.We are just so thankful to make memories together in this incredible cabin. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

    We had a wonderful stay at this sweet cabin surrounded by nature. There are so many outdoor spaces to enjoy and just unplug. The cabin itself is perfect and well supplied. We had great communication with Wendy. We plan on visiting again in the future. Thank you so much Wendy for a much needed and relaxing getaway.

    My wife and I had a great stay at the cabin, mixing a little fall fly fishing and relaxation. The property is excellent, as is the host. It is spotless, with everything you could need and then some. The cabin felt like a comfortable home and was appointed and supplied as such. Last, but not least is the location, on the river with easy access to town. Overall, 5 stars well earned.

    2nd time staying at this hidden gem. Accommodations and communication with host are great, super clean, has everything you need besides a standard coffee maker. This is by design I do believe, to prevent people from putting coffee grounds down the sink. Keurig and oercolator are provides instead and work fine.

    The author John Gierach says All Fishermen are Liars, this is in part is due to their reluctance to give up a good place the fish for fear others will ruin it. Well I’ll be the exception. Wendy’s River Place is the cleanest, most well equipped rental I’ve ever stayed at. We had four fishing cronies stay for four day and never once had to make a store run. Temperatures during our stay ranged from 35F at night to 83F in the afternoon (ah Michigan) and we were comfortable throughout. Even with a wheelchair we were able to successfully maneuver through the house. Our exceptions were a fishing cabin and we ended up we a place any of us would easily bring our wives and families to. As to Gierach’s concerns, we can only hope there will be availability next year for a return visit. To Wendy - well done, and thanks for sharing.
