A down to earth 4 bedroom, 2 bath home nestled in the woods that features 2 large gathering rooms (one is a theater room) and a huge covered front porch. There is a full kitchen and two separate eating areas. We also have an external gameroom/hangout in our big red barn called the Hideout Saloon.

The main part of the house was built by my grandad in 1946.

The trim around the doors and windows are all made from aged pine that he had saved in the 1950's.

We have central air and heat.

There is a 4 foot fire ring perfect for cooking, making s'mores, or just relaxing.
There is a washer and dryer for your use.

We have a charcoal grill for you to use...bring your own charcoal and starter fluid.

There is a tankless water heater so you can take back to back showers. Sorry no bathtubs.

Come relax and just chill. The sandy beach is only a mile away as is the rest of town or relax on our 42ft covered porch

Firewood is available to use if it is in the shed. If not, then Jack can deliver a full cord of oak if you desire for around $80. Please contact him directly prior to your stay and mention that you are staying at Hideout in the Woods. 989-370-0822. He is cash only and can dump the wood right by the firepit.

The Hideout Saloon is now open and equipped with a pool table, dart board, foosball, sound system, player piano, and custom made bar. This space can be heated by 2 propane heaters that we provide along with the tanks. You are responsible for the propane.
Make sure you checkout the pictures. Please note that the Hideout Saloon is available to you, but please do not review us on its cleanliness as it lives in the woods in an old pole barn.

    Place was absolutely perfect for us. As a group looking to be outside and around a fire, it was just what we needed. Plenty of bed space and anything we needed. Close to town and the river.

    Nice clean cabin in the woods. Great location for driving to fish on Au Sable River. Beds were comfortable. Well stocked bathroom and kitchen amenities. We enjoyed everything about location and hope to stay again in the future.

    We enjoyed our stay here, it was a great location, affordable and clean. Great communication with the host, kitchen was stocked but couldn’t find dish towels, so we just used the bathroom hand towels and wash cloths which there was plenty of. The yard could use some love, but the fire pit was great, the porch is amazing and the barn with all the games (and a bar) was so much fun! We would definitely stay here again!

    Hideout in the woods is great. Steve is great and responds quickly to any questions. This is our second time staying. Great place for our large group of friends for our winter trip. We enjoyed hanging out in the barn playing pool, darts and foosball. The propane heaters were very helpful.

    This place was tucked into the woods, but was such a great location and close to town. Very private. I stayed there with family while in town for a wedding. We had plenty of room. Communication with the host was easy and smooth. We would definitely stay again.

    We literally utilized every amenity, from the house to the movie room, to the lovely front porch and fire ring, we had steak dinner on the fire pit grill and the hideout salloon was a total blast! We played all the games danced for hours. We most definitely will be back. Close to everything there is to do in Oscoda.

    The host was very communicative, there were helpful notes posted around the house, the history is cool, and there was plenty of space for all of us. I really appreciate that we were all able to bring our dogs along. It was close to town and the beach but still felt a little secluded. The porch was amazing. The ONLY thing my family had to say was they wished the grass had been cut around the porch area since it's tick season (one tick found on the kid's shoulder). We also couldn't find any kitchen towels but might not have looked hard enough. Kitchen was pretty well stocked otherwise!

    I really enjoyed my stay at the hideout in the woods. I was there for my brothers bachelor party, and we had a decent size group. The main house was super clean. It was the perfect size for all of us to get good nights sleep.The real star of the place was the barn that was converted into a mock saloon. There was pool, darts, fusball, and other games. The two propane heaters kept us warm in near freezing temperatures. We spent most of our time in there just having a good time. If you are looking for a secluded cabin with easy going entertainment, then this is the place for you

    The house was very spacious, but we still spent most of our time on the covered front porch and yard. Plenty of room for our family to spread out if they chose. Plenty of the essentials are stocked (tp, shower supplies, etc). Very much appreciated
