Grayling, Michigan
Newly re-modeled! Built in the 1940's by famed fly fishing guide Jim Wakeley, our 'River Cabin' is located at the historic Wakeley Bridge. 'Uncle Jim' purchased the property during World War II and began developing the property one building at a time. As a second generation fly fishing guide, my family and I are working to keep the memory of Jim Wakeley alive and share our love of the river. The cabin is nestled along the world famous 'Holy Waters', a 'fly's only', 'catch and release' section on the AuSable. The cabin is just a short drive to the North and South Branches of the river.
For the golf enthusiast we are only a short drive away from both, Forest Dunes Golf Club and Garland Golf Resort. For the hikers, bikers and bird watchers the cabin is three miles from Wakeley Lake, a beautiful part of the Huron-Mainistee National Forest area with miles of trails with loon and eagle sightings on a regular basis.
The quiet and cozy cabin offers two bedrooms with a queen size bed in each, full kitchen with living area including a couch, for additional sleeping. Dishes and linens are supplied along with a charcoal grill. There is a riverside fire pit for enjoying the summer evenings. Now with AC!

Whether you are fly-fishing, canoeing or simply relaxing our cabin provides it all.

Cozy, well appointed cabin on a great stretch of the Au Sable River.
My husband loved this spot on the au sable holy water for fly fishing. We brought along our canoe and enjoyed that on the river as well. The cabin is very cute and clean, the grounds are immaculate and we enjoyed sitting outside at the fire pit and picnic table. The hosts are very nice people and I would definitely recommend it.
This Cabin has to be the cleanest place we have ever stayed at in all our years of traveling/vacationing. The hosts Colleen and Dave are Wonderful People. The grounds are meticulous and the river is so peaceful and relaxing. We will definitely return again! Congratulations on a Fabulous Place!
What a beautiful place. Cabin was well appointed and extremely clean. A lovely setting where my husband could walk out the door and fish.
This cabin is right on the banks of the Au Sable and Colleen and Dave were great hosts. They too are on the property but it was very private. Ample parking, well stocked with thoughtful items like paper towels, dish soap and coffee filters. Town is approx 10 minutes away with plenty of dining options if you want to go that route. We put our kayaks in at Stephens Bridge and kayaked downriver to the property to take out - a nice run but has some sweepers. Would definitely stay here again!!
The cabin is VERY clean! Everything is so neat and tidy! The kitchen is stocked with good quality pans, dishes and utensils! The bed was comfortable. There is a nice view of the river and a really nice fire pit right by the river. We visited in October and it was a bit chilly to sit outside but in the summer it would be really fun to watch the river traffic go by! We brought our dog and really enjoyed hiking around Wakeley Lake and also hiked at Hartwick Pines. It was very nice meeting Colleen! Her family lives on the property and she answered our questions about hiking and things to do in the area! Thank you Colleen! We had a really nice weekend at your river cabin!
Kayaker the American Sable, hiked around Wakely Lake, and enjoyed a beautifulsunny afternoon with fire on the shore of the American Sable
This was our second time staying at The River Cabin. I can't say enough about how great it was. The cottage is very comfortable and has a homey feeling to it. The fire pit beside the river is a plus and it is fun to watch all the kayaks, canoes and fishing boats go past. Everything is very clean and orderly. It was a nice relaxing week!
Our family of four enjoyed our time at the River Cabin. The space is small but efficient, and the large outdoor space by the river was the highlight. Everything recently remodeled and new. I appreciated the model of coffee maker - an upgrade from Mr Coffees I've mostly experience in VRBOs. :) Thank you!
Pleasant
The location was fantastic. The owners were great with communication and very helpful. Can't wait to go back.
Beautiful cabin and park like property on the river. Very clean and close to everything we needed. Host's were very friendly. Loved it! We will be back.
Everything about this cabin was perfect! The owners pay so much attention to every little detail, the view and the property was incredible, they were friendly and accommodating we will absolutely be back! I have to say, in all of the cabins I’ve stayed in around Northern Michigan this was by far my favorite and by far the most clean! Every single thing we needed was there. I could not say enough good things about our stay!
All I can say is WOW! The cottage is incredibly clean and has everything you need to enjoy the beautiful location. It was amazing to sit right next to the river and also have a firepit to enjoy. The convenient location is only a short distance to downtown Grayling and the canoe rentals. Will definitely book again!! Thank you!
The pictures of the comfortable, immaculate, well-stocked, quality built cabin are accurate. What you can only get from visiting is the peaceful setting, well-kept grounds, and sounds of the Ausable River as you sit on the porch or at the fire pit. Even with great wi-fi, our 13 year old son was in the river learning how to fly fish more than he ever thought of looking at his phone! That says it all! Our hosts were so welcoming and thoughtful. We enjoyed our weekend and look forward to coming again to visit this beautiful area. Thank you for sharing your property.
It’s a perfect place to stay on the Au Sable. The cabin is absolutely perfect for 2 people. The grounds are beautiful. Would definitely book this again without hesitancy!
