2 Bedroom Cabin in Grayling

Newly re-modeled! Built in the 1940's by famed fly fishing guide Jim Wakeley, our 'River Cabin' is located at the historic Wakeley Bridge. 'Uncle Jim' purchased the property during World War II and began developing the property one building at a time. As a second generation fly fishing guide, my family and I are working to keep the memory of Jim Wakeley alive and share our love of the river. The cabin is nestled along the world famous 'Holy Waters', a 'fly's only', 'catch and release' section on the AuSable. The cabin is just a short drive to the North and South Branches of the river.
For the golf enthusiast we are only a short drive away from both, Forest Dunes Golf Club and Garland Golf Resort. For the hikers, bikers and bird watchers the cabin is three miles from Wakeley Lake, a beautiful part of the Huron-Mainistee National Forest area with miles of trails with loon and eagle sightings on a regular basis.
The quiet and cozy cabin offers two bedrooms with a queen size bed in each, full kitchen with living area including a couch, for additional sleeping. Dishes and linens are supplied along with a charcoal grill. There is a riverside fire pit for enjoying the summer evenings. Now with AC!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!

Summary: What a great place to getaway!! The cabin inside and outside was the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed. The fire pit was right on the beautiful Ausable River, and they even supply the fire wood and supplies! It’s close to lots of outdoor activities! Dave and Colleen made sure we had everything we needed! It was perfect!
