Enjoy the best of the Ausable River Valley & Huron National Forest

Clean, Cozy and Perfectly Decorated, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath Cabin bordering the Huron National Forest.... just a short walk to the Scenic Big Creek. We are centrally located to all points of interest in Oscoda County.
You will be pleased to find a host of basic amenities. This is the perfect place to unplug from your busy life and enjoy watching the various wildlife and many bird species right out your window, relax, read a book and don't forget a quiet starry night campfire. Your stay can include many outdoor activities, such as: visiting the large neighboring Amish community with their tidy farms and unique stores, fishing, tubing, kayaking, canoeing, ATV riding, hiking, scenic overlooks and much more. We find that when many of our guests arrive they prefer to just stay and enjoy the very unique, quiet and natural surroundings.

This Cabin is an Adult Only Rental. We welcome 3 night minimum stays as well as weekly rentals.

* One of our main goals is to keep guests costs at a minimum. We do not charge a cleaning fee and you will not see a " Host Fee" when you finalize your booking.

A peaceful spot

What a gem Nick and Laura have here. Perfectly sized for a couple. So cozy and clean. I would sit at the table and watched the birds all day and have been happy. The wood stove was a welcome warmth after trails and hikes all day. The bed was extremely comfortable. If you are looking for peace and quiet. This is your place. Thank you Nick and Laura for sharing your perfect cabin with us.

This property has everything you need. Even though the road was right there it is still secluded feeling. The hosts are incredible, and we can't wait to go back. Definitely what we needed for a re-charge, still wish we were there, it is always so hard going home!

Great Little Cabin

We spent the weekend at this great little cabin. Nick was very welcoming. We loved watching the birds at the feeder. The highlight was the Pileated Woodpecker. The wood burning stove makes the place so cozy and it was only a 7 minute drive to MaDeeters.
