The Castaway on the Ausable River Holy Waters

Everything was great

Great property near the water! Thanks for the ease of booking

This place is perfect. Everything is made so convenient and comfortable for you. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

This is a gorgeous property - inside and out! We stayed with 8 adults and a toddler - cooked a bunch, kayaked, hiked, played in the river, had campfires, fed the chickens and goats, and hot-tubbed. Everything was amazing - we couldn't have asked for a better spot to relax and reconnect as.a.family. The hosts are super responsive and the whole process was well-thought-out and easy.

We had the absolute best time at this VRBO! It was absolutely perfect for our family. Also the best stay we have ever had. My kids really wanted to learn to fly fish and they were able to do it in the river and had so much fun! I cannot recommend this rental enough.

Excellent stay! The kitchen was the best stocked I have ever experienced! Pristine condition! Many amenities! Beautiful landscape. Owners are friendly and responsive. Highly recommend!

A terrific setting for our family trip. Cabin was spotless. Not a single negative thing to say.

Our second time staying at The Castaway and it keeps getting better. Would recommend to any of our friends and family as the perfect place for a getaway Up North. Conveniently located near Grayling and accommodating to the 4-legged member of our family. Fishing right outside the backdoor. 10/10.

Everything was perfect! The house was clean, owners response was fast, and the fishing was great! See you next spring!

Property was beautiful! We were only there for one night but wish we could have stayed a week!

My husband and I loved our weekend at this cabin on the river. It was very clean and cozy. The kitchen was super well stocked, which we really appreciated. The cottage is close enough to town (about a 10 minutes drive) if you need anything, but still very private. The riverfront is beautiful and peaceful. We loved our relaxing weekend here and would definitely stay again.

Clean and cozy

Great property! Loved the goats and chickens, big hit with everyone!!

Perfect place for guys hunting weekend. Extremely nice inside and out and totally clean!

We had a wonderful stay at The Castaway Vacation Home. The property had everything we could have asked for. The kitchen and baths were well stocked and the home was very clean and comfortable. Jeanne was great to work with and quick to respond to any questions we asked. Would love to stay at the property in the future.

Great place for paddling. Right on The Au Sable making it convenient. Good golfing choices nearby as well.

We had a fun time at The Castaway with our multi-generational family trip! The house was very clean, well taken care of and comfortable for everyone in our group. There was clearly attention to detail to make the house feel like a getaway. We used the deck, patio, grill, hot tub, dining room, and spent a lot of time on the Au Sable. The layout of the house made it feel like everyone in our 7 person + 2 dog group had space to be together but also have space to themselves. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and had a large pantry that we used to store our groceries. The access to the river was beautiful and we went fly fishing, tubing and read in the Adirondack chairs by the water. As an added bonus we had fun feeding the goats next door! Thank you for sharing this special place with us to make memories together.

This is a lovely property that accommodated a group of us for a weekend away. Would highly recommend this property.

Spacious, modern and well maintained accommodations in a great location. What's not to like?

The place has been renovated with new flooring, bathrooms, and outside decking. It was very clean and we had no issues that needed to be addressed by the owners. This has not been the case with other places that we've rented. We would definitely stay here again.

We needed a place to stay for one night and what a beauty we picked. Feels like home and plenty of beds to chose from.

We used this lovely property as a base of operation while we explored the Au Sable River. We were a group of 5 fishermen and the house allowed us the opportunity to spread out. The house provided all that we needed to make our stay comfortable. Be aware, the pictures make it seem like the house sits right on the river. This is now quite accurate. It sits on a little bluff above the river. There is a small trail to allow direct river access.
