How Scenic!
What a Scenic stay at this VRBO! Watching the sunset to the down the Au Sable River with a bonfire was so relaxing. And it was super convenient to walk right over to Rays for some pulled pork and a beer!

Very relaxing
This is great location. You’re right in the AuSable River, right next to Rays BBQ and can walk to town. While it’s not away from noise or traffic, you do have a beautiful sitting area on the covered back porch, relaxing swing along the river and a great fire pit. It was perfect for my husband to head out fishing every day and for me to sit and enjoy my watercolor paints.

Fun location
Our kids had fun fishing and playing yard games. We had beautiful weather and one of the days went tubing nearby. A few minor cleanliness issues noted upon arrival and a light/fan not working but the overall experience here was good.

Great spot to relax
We absolutely enjoyed our stay. The house is great and the perfect location. A short walk to a BBQ joint and to downtown to all shops and restaurants. We were able to fish and sit at the bonfire. The BBQ place played some great Blues that we could enjoy from the back. The fishing is great too. We would love to rebook for the canoe race.
