2nd time staying at this hidden gem. Accommodations and communication with host are great, super clean, has everything you need besides a standard coffee maker. This is by design I do believe, to prevent people from putting coffee grounds down the sink. Keurig and oercolator are provides instead and work fine.

This small cabin is quite cute and functional. We really enjoyed our stay here for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. All the walls are done in Knotty Pine tongue & groove planks (my Father would have loved it). There are 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen/dining area with all the appliances you would need. There is WiFi and a great view of the Au Sable river. Outside there is a fire pit right on the river's edge. We had a great time and would highly recommend it.

Absolutely beautiful property and cabin! Not only was the setting great but the cabin was super clean and cozy. Colleen was amazing to work with and a truly wonderful person. Every small detail was addressed for renter convenience. From firewood on site, fire starting materials, hot dog skewers, coffee, etc… everything was organized and ready for use!

It’s always a perfect stay at Wendy’s cabin on the Au Sable. Our 4 kids came for the second year in a row and couldn’t wait to giggle in the cozy bunk beds. We all went out and caught trout on the river directly in front of the dock. The sunroom was the perfect calm each morning with a cup of coffee. It’s immaculate and beautifully decorated.We are just so thankful to make memories together in this incredible cabin. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Many thanks to Wendy and David for sharing their nature sanctuary with us! It was truly a magical experience. Inside the cabin our every comfort was met with cozy furniture, nice bedding and a well equipped kitchen. We relaxed by a campfire by the riverside with complimentary firewood from the owner. We are not fishermen, but we enjoyed sitting on the dock of the river as a couple of boats and wading fishermen went by. Thank you to the housekeeper for providing a spotless place!!! This cabin is at the top of favorites! We hope to return —-with a fishing pole .

My wife and I had a great stay at the cabin, mixing a little fall fly fishing and relaxation. The property is excellent, as is the host. It is spotless, with everything you could need and then some. The cabin felt like a comfortable home and was appointed and supplied as such. Last, but not least is the location, on the river with easy access to town. Overall, 5 stars well earned.

Absolutely loved our stay on the Holy Waters. We came to fly fish, and it didn't disappoint. The grounds and cabin are adorable- a real dream of a retreat. Our dogs had a blast playing in the little canal alongside the cabin. It's just 10 min to Grayling for restaurants and breweries. It was perfect.

This is by design I do believe, to prevent people from putting coffee grounds down the sink. Keurig and oercolator are provides instead and work fine.

This small cabin is quite cute and functional. We really enjoyed our stay here for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. All the walls are done in Knotty Pine tongue & groove planks (my Father would have loved it). There are 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen/dining area with all the appliances you would need. There is WiFi and a great view of the Au Sable river. Outside there is a fire pit right on the river's edge. We had a great time and would highly recommend it.

The house was amazing, clean and everything you needed was provided. The view was great, loved sitting by the water and watching the fish jump. Thanks Wendy-we will see you next year.

Absolutely beautiful property and cabin! Not only was the setting great but the cabin was super clean and cozy. Colleen was amazing to work with and a truly wonderful person. Every small detail was addressed for renter convenience. From firewood on site, fire starting materials, hot dog skewers, coffee, etc… everything was organized and ready for use!

Great hosts, a beautiful location, ideal river access and views! Very clean! We had everything we needed provided in our cabin, from dishes and linens, to utensils and small appliances. It was perfect for our kayaking!

Keep in mind, we are canoeing people. And when we rent, we like to be in a very clean, comfortable, and well appointed place, with everything we need to cook a great meal. We also like to be somewhere we can relax and look out over the water. Well, after renting in many states, the Historic River Cabin, just 3 hours from home, has exactly what we like and need. On the banks of the Au Sable river, a National Wild and Scenic river, yet recreation friendly, the Historic River Cabin has it all. Our hosts, long-time residents of the area, canoeing experts, and generational owners, keep meticulous care of this historic, but perfectly updated treasure, and are always available for their guests. That section of the river is often referred to as the Holy Waters of the Au Sable. Regardless of your beliefs, you will be "blessed" by staying here!

Many thanks to Wendy and David for sharing their nature sanctuary with us! It was truly a magical experience. Inside the cabin our every comfort was met with cozy furniture, nice bedding and a well equipped kitchen. We relaxed by a campfire by the riverside with complimentary firewood from the owner. We are not fishermen, but we enjoyed sitting on the dock of the river as a couple of boats and wading fishermen went by. Thank you to the housekeeper for providing a spotless place!!! This cabin is at the top of favorites! We hope to return —-with a fishing pole .

Everything was wonderful! Beautiful cabin, comfortable and spotless. Many thoughtful touches including a fire pit with wood and starter materials, charcoal grill. The kitchen had everything we needed. The location is awesome, right on the Au Sable river, quiet and peaceful.
