Very old and historic property. Only stairs to second floor. Not air conditioned, but floor and ceiling fan in rooms. Right along Au Sable River.

Hunter, our main contact, was awesome. I wish the glass above the door in room 14 had been blacked out. It doesn’t open anyway and covering it would have blocked the action sensitive hallway lights that shown into the bedroom and woke us up constantly.

The room i signed up for looked nice. I wasnt put into that room. I was put into a small, dirty, extremely outdated room that was infested with ladybugs. We asked to get the room that i felt i was paying for, and the manager obliged. Its NOT Grayling! Its advertised as Grayling, but its 30 miles away. On a very hairy little tiny dirt road for 9.5 miles. Advertising is horrible. Its not what its meant to be. With that said, Terri was wonderful and very nice. Breakfast was great. If youre a fisherman looking to wake up and walk down to the river....great place! If you want a luxurious, quiet getaway....this is NOT your place.

Michigan Scenic Treasure
The views of the river, along with the history and nostalgia of the lodge create an exceptional experience. North Branch Outing Club setting is spectacular. Terry & staff made our stay extremely comfortable and provided incredible hospitality.

A lucky find
This place is a hidden gem. An historic trout club in a beautiful setting. Terry and her crew provide a delicious and hearty breakfast. And Richard who runs the fly fishing store is a wealth of knowledge.

A step back in time
Very friendly, clean and quaint. The staff is great and this is truly a throwback in time. As noted online, the bathrooms are shared, which can be inconveient, especially in the morning before checkout time. Also, my room did not have any electrical outlets in the room, only a power strip that plugged in outside the window, and a pull light over the bed, a little odd.

Shelby and David were amazing hosts. The Place is stunning and the heritage is phenomenal. This is the place that Hemingway Edison and Henry Ford stayed at in the early 1900s. Very unique experience and feels like a home away from home. Couldn’t have asked for anything better wonderful time. If you were into fly fishing it’s a place to be.
