    First, this isnt near Grayling. Its more than 32 milesaway. No cell service within 10 miles. Not findable with GPS, when we contacted you to get directions y'all gave us wrong directions. Drove around for an hour and finally found it. Your info on the Wifi was wrong but owner left updated info. TV didnt work, the next day you sent someone try try to get it working but they couldnt. We decided to leave but the remotenessforced us to spend one night. When we packed our luggage in the morning we found BUGS from one bedroom had gotten into our clothes. Some of the cookware was permanently filthy. Now y'all want to hold back 400 of my payment instead of giving me a full refundfor this debacle.Other than that its a cute little place.

    We stayed 2 nights and very much enjoyed this charming cabin. We found it very cozy and nice. The host provided so much to anticipate guest needs, including many kitchen items, spices, coffee, etc. Everything was in Good working order. We especially loved watching the river, the campfire fit outside, and looking at the stars from the dock. We would like to return. The cabin is close to a road, but there was not a great deal of road noise. Excellent property! excellent working order. We loved

    Although this little renovated cabin is very near the Twin Bridge road it was a great spot. Literally less than 50 feet away from the Ausable River. Very well appointed with all sorts of trout decor right down to the dishes. Nice touches like foil in the drawer and good utensils and potsa dn pans. We did not use the TV but did use the internet. Only thing we would add is some juice glasses that can be used for juice or wine. We would recommend and would use again if in the area. Next time will bring a fly rod.

    Very nice cabin on the river with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The welcome basket full of goodies was a nice extra touch. Close to Grayling and Gaylord for shopping and elk viewing. We had a wonderful time and would stay here again!

    Myself, 3 girlfriends, and a 6m.o. baby spent 2 nights here. It was cozy and the sound of the river was absolutely lovely. We grilled out the 1st night. The next day we hiked at Hartwick Pines, ate dinner at Paddle Hard Brewing, had a bonfire next to the river, and played card games. It was such a cute little cabin, and we had fun counting all the fish in the house!
