Perfect Getaway
The cabin is beautiful with a lovely view of Big Creek below. Much to do around the area including fishing, canoe rentals, golf, hiking, side x side rentals and trails. The host were great with communication if you needed anything. Definitely would recommend.

Unwind from the Grind
Thank you for sharing your "Cozy" Brown Trout cottage with us. Everything was very clean, comfortable, and well stocked for a perfect escape. We absolutely enjoyed natures beauty that surrounds the area. This location was perfect for our kayak adventure on the AuSable. Big River was a little shallow this trip, no fish caught. This just gives us a reason to come back and try again. :) Thank you.

Abetter than advertised
Such a wonderful place, peace, quiet, relaxation and a fisherman's Paradise. It was 90° the last two days so air conditioning would have been nice but the place stayed fairly cool with the door shut and fans were provided.

The board walk to big creek was unsafe to me. Weak boards felt like they were going to fall through.

Fast break for my family
Lovely place. The house and surroundings were perfect for my family and grandchildren. Peaceful secluded, clean and comfortable. Easy access to the home and the hosts were very attentive. This was the first time that I had made the arrangements to get away with all of my adult children and grandchildren to spend quality time together. We all agreed that we wished we had more time off from our busy lives to stay longer. Definitely recommend and perhaps we shall spend a week here next year if we can get it organized. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us.

Fun For the entire family!
What a wonderful week we had making memories! The lodge was beautiful and we were surrounded by nature. We came up north to ride the ORV trails and spend time in the river.. We took a trip to Lake Huron and were lucky to only experience one rainy day. The cabin is close to outlet malls and driving distance to many lakes, parks and towns. We will return again soon.

Fantastic Getaway!
This was such a wonderful place to have a getway up north. My brother, cousins and I do a once every other year up north trip. I liked this spot so much my husband and I would consider renting it again! It was a very clean cabin, easy check in. Gorgeous overlook and bridge to get to the creek. The cabin had so many appliances and cooking gear, I was impressed. I had brought some of my own items but didnt really need them. The owners could not have been nicer, had touched base with them and were so incredibly helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this spot to rent!! Exactly as described.
