Beautiful small cabin overlooking a working trout pond. Listen to the small waterfalls from silver creek into the pond. Cabin has amazing views and hiking trails into the national forest and we can’t wait to have you here. Be advised, cellphone service is very limited with most carriers and we do not have wifi at this moment.

We were met by a super cute and friendly dog named coco right when we pulled in.A little cabin that is updated on the inside.On a little pond that turned out to be a fishery for rainbow trout.Shower worked good,fridge was good,water was hot when you needed it.TV worked as advertised.Fire wood was included which was awesome.The property butts up to a national forest and the scenery was awazing..The owner John could not have been friendly or more accomodating.The hardest wroking 78 year old i ever seen.We had dinner with him,super nice guy.I will return someday ,one of the best spots I've found.

This was a great get away. Its very laid back a peace...tranquility. there is no wifi, so if you really need it this isn't for you. You were able to receive text and phone calls. Communication is quickly responded to if there is a problem or a question. The owner of the property does live on the premises and he will supply us you with food to fed the fish. Wish I had a longer time there. Remember you are up north and are renting a cabin, not a hotel, but its nicely furnished and clean.

It was quiet
If you want peace and quiet, this is the place.
The owner super nice, he even gave us a delicious blueberry pie.
Why a 3 rating if peace and quiet is what I was wanting. The listing stated WIFI as one of the amenities. Not only was there no wifi, data reception was zero. Truth is i would not have picked this place if i knew there was no wifi.
We usually plan or days as they come but was not able to plan because of no data or wifi. We drove more than we would of liked.
Location was outstanding. Although the address on the mailbox needs to be shown in both directions. More deeper cleaning and windows washed. Shower door is about to fall off. The time we spent there was great. Our host was very friendly and gave flowers to my wife. Feeding the fish was very fun. They swarmed to the food. Fun to watch. The host dog cocoa would come over to visit. Last is Cell signal was nonexistent.
We had a most relaxing time. If you’re looking to get away from the hustle and bustle, this is a great place to start. John the owner lives across the creek, so if you’re in need of anything, just give a holler. His cute little dog coco was such a great greeter also. Would recommend if you’re looking for rustic.
Quite and comfortable cabin surrounded by woods, water and dark skies filled with stars you don’t experience in cities, suburbs and towns. Small cabin is surrounded by a clear swift creek filled with a multitude of farmed trout just waiting to be fed every morning and evening. Pleasant cosy deck on the creek; perfect for feeding the fish, grilling a burger or steak. Just kicking back and enjoying the surroundings works well, too. John, the owner (and builder) is very pleasant and interesting . John is also helpful and accommodating. There are many adventures to be had all along the shores of Lake Huron. Recommended!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here; it was restful and several spots to visit nearby. The property owner is very friendly, helpful, and available, if needed. We would do this again!
Great cottage, great property, great area. Quiet, peaceful, comfortable. The owner, John, was super nice and considerate. The fish are entertaining. Lots of wilderness to explore.
It was exactly what I had hoped it would be and I will definitely try to visit again.
The view was beautiful, the home was clean, and the owner was wonderful. Would recommend to any couple looking for a quiet vacation spot.

The view was absolutely amazing. There was a small deck out back that overlooked the pond. It was a great place to do a little reading. And appropriately enough, on the morning of July 4 when I woke up and opened the blinds in the bedroom, I stared out at an eagle that was on the other side of the pond (I suspect that eagle was looking for breakfast... the pond was full of fish). You can't beat an experience like that!

Why they chose this property
This is a great property that is right off the main road so you will have no problem finding your way to see other attractions in the area. There is are so many great local fishing opportunities as well as lots of small beaches to choose from anywhere from Hubbard lake to Negwegon state park right here in Black River that will show you a great view of Lake Huron, just gorgeous. We are just about 22 miles from Alpena or 30 miles to Oscoda. Great open skies to star gaze, phone service is spotty at this time unfortunately we are working to correct that. This property has great hiking trails out to the national forest with beautiful waterfalls and a deck off the back to grill your dinner. This is a working rainbow trout farm where the fish are fed daily by the local owner of the property.
