in search of snow!

We went on a last minute trip to MI in search of cross country skiing. We found this cabin was available and booked it. It was perfect for our needs. We also brought our two dogs. We prefer to cook our own meals and that was easy as all cookware was available. The owners were next door and were super helpful and friendly. it's also next door to the cross country ski shop for info on trails and supplies. It was perfect and look forward to coming back in the spring for kayaking.

Central Location in Grayling, on the river

This is a beautiful property on the river. I was staying here for work at the hospital and I needed a kitchen to stay on my diet. If you cook, bring your favorite pans. There's a sauce pan, 2 quart pan, two frying pans, pizza pan and pancake griddle. No baking sheets. There is a toaster and electric coffee pot. I stayed in Cabin B which has a double bed with a footboard so tall people like me sleep diagonally and a pull out couch. It is advertised for sleeping 4 people but they must be smaller people. This place is newly remodeled and decorated nicely and in a central location to all outdoor activities in Grayling, MI. The owners live on the property in Cabin A and are very nice and accommodating. They allow dogs and have a great system for poo pick up and disposal. My little dog loved the paths they snowblow in the woods for her during the winter. I very much enjoyed my cozy stay.

Great weekend stay

This is our second stay at Finley's. The unit is comfortable, cozy, and clean. We had everything we needed for our late season grouse hunt, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. We love the community and the surrounding area. We appreciate having a place that allows us to bring our furry family members along. Effi and Dave

Great location

Great location for a Northern Michigan getaway. Finley's Riverside Cabins are located on the Au Sable River, perfect for fly fishing and kayaking. My family couldn't be happier with our stay. Clean, good amenities, friendly owners, less than a mile from Grayling, and the best riverside fire pit for roasting marshmallows. Thanks, Phil and Brenda, until next time.

Perfect Cabin on the River!

We really enjoyed our stay. The property is sitting on the Au Sable River. You won’t find easier access. Phil (property owner) was kind enough to drive our truck upstream so we could launch a winter kayaking trip. It was perfect. The cabins are really nice. Very clean, hot water, warm heat, and fully stocked with kitchen supplies. Downtown Grayling is roughly a mile away, perfect for those who want to eat at one of the restaurants or breweries, or cook meals back at the cabin. We did both. We definitely recommend this property, and certainly would love to stay here again.

It was okay

The refrigerator was Alil nasty. The dishes in the drawer was nasty. I called to complain about the dishes she volunteer to come clean but I said no I’ll rather clean it myself . Tub was nasty and had hair in it so we washed that out. It was cat hair all over the couch. Inside the dresser had stains. I know their older host but we’re in a pandemic they need to be alot cleaner between visits. And if Brenda is going to knit blankets for each trailer put the cats up or invest in lent rollers. Overall they were nice though.

Great property but pictures are not accurate

Our stay was great and property was beautiful to walk around. The host was super welcoming and waited for us to arrive late. I wish the description would specify which properties are on river view and which are not. The photos are the same for all the apartments but half of them don't have the river view.

Great weekend get-away

Brenda and Phil have a really great property right on the river. We stayed in Cabin B and it was perfect--very clean, comfortable bedding, and all the necessary furnishings. We wanted a place close to Hartwick State Park to explore the Old Growth Forest but it was a great launching spot to see other up north highlights like Traverse City, Leland and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Our absolute favorite part was the kayak trip down the Au Sable River. Phil drove us up stream and it was a lovely, peaceful ride back to Finley's riverside Cabins. We had a really nice weekend! Thanks Brenda and Phil!!
