Rural Living

Great rural setting with abundant wildlife life, all within a short drive to local towns. I was there to do some fishing and there was plenty of area to park. The owners are the nicest people you will meet and were more that helpful with anything you needed.

Clean, cute, comfortable!

We stayed at Tammy and John's place in August 2022 - it was our home base during a family reunion weekend nearby in Sterling. This was a super cute and very clean place for us to regroup each night after our time with our extended family! There was nothing that we needed from the owners, but it was nice to know that they were on property in case anything came up or we had issues. They have put a lot of thought and time into renovating the home and we felt welcomed and comfortable there. Their personal home is in the back of a beautiful, large piece of property - very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed our morning coffee watching deer, heron and other wildlife come in to feed. Very relaxing place in a quiet area. We would love to come back again and enjoy a s'more or two by the fire for sure. Lots of parking if you are towing anything - we stored our kayak trailer there for the weekend, and there is also a lot of room for boats, etc. Thanks John and Tammy for a great stay!

Peace, Quiet, and a lot of nature.

This property was a great place to get away, especially if you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The rental is on 20 beautiful acres teaming with wildlife. The Groulx family has done a great job of creating a home away from home. You can sit at the cabin and play cards, relax on the porch, sit around a campfire or play cornhole. But in 15 minutes you can be in Standish, 25 minutes in West Branch and 30 minutes you can be sitting on the beach in Tawas. I am hoping to stay with here again.

Spontaneous golf trip for the Hubbys birthday!!

What an amazing weekend! This adorable property is very well appointed, cozy and affordable! Firepit with wood on site, beautiful views, electric fireplace for that special ambiance! We were greeted by a chalkboard sign on the covered front porch welcoming us and a birthday wish for my husband. Inside there was a note on the fridge again wishing him a happy birthday and telling us there was a treat in the fridge for us! Birthday cupcakes! what a special touch! they supplied a s'mores bar with all of the fixings! house is close to almost everything and only a 20 min drive to West Branch Country Club. Will we be back? HECK YA!! great time and excellent hosts!! have pics!! wish I could post them!

About the host

Hosted by Tamara Groulx

We currently live on the same 20 acres as the vacation rental. We grew up in the surrounding area. We feel in love and purchased the Log Home in 2020 and completely remodeled the vacation/guest house.

Why they chose this property

We also live on the same property and just love this area. Close to a lot of amenities so you can stay busy or just relax with beautiful views and quiet time

What makes this property unique

Lots of Wildlife at different times of the day and year to enjoy from your dining room full of windows. Or just enjoy sitting around the campfire or the covered front porch.
