About this property

The Castaway on the Ausable River Holy Waters

Tucked into the tall pines alongside the Holy Waters. The Castaway offers an amazing location for enjoying all the Au Sable has to offer. The setting couldn't be more perfect. Just outside the kitchen guests will enjoy an outdoor area with a firepit. The area is perfect for cooking over the open flame, relaxing with a good book, or snuggling up to watch the star-filled night sky. The deck around the front of the home has a grill and river front view. The cabin itself sits about 200 feet back from the river. Down near the river there is a grass clearing perfect for sitting in the Adirondacks while waiting for just the right moment to wet your line. Entry into the river off the property is ankle deep rocky bottom. This is a highly sought area for wading anglers. For those not familiar with the Grayling area, it offers more than the greatest fly fishing. The river attracts tubers, kayakers, and canoeing. Our cabin is situated between Burton's Landing and Keystone Landing. Grayling is also in the center of a region with the most incredible golf courses such as Forest Dunes, Treetops, and Boyne Mountain. Looking for a nearby beach? Kneff Lake is a small hidden local spot for kids to pay in the and water. Wellington Farms, a historic working farm, also makes a great visit for something out of the ordinary. The winter months attract many who love the outdoors. Whether you are into snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, sledding or downhill skiing, you will find a spot to keep you engaged. The cabin has a perfect sledding hill. Hanson Hills offers many trails for year-round adventures, including tubing and skiing. Treetops offers downhill skiing and tubing. We like to cater to family gatherings, anglers and couples. Out of respect to our neighborhood we do request that there aren't any large gatherings or late nights that would disrupt their quiet river setting.

Perfect Getaway

My husband and I loved our weekend at this cabin on the river. It was very clean and cozy. The kitchen was super well stocked, which we really appreciated. The cottage is close enough to town (about a 10 minutes drive) if you need anything, but still very private. The riverfront is beautiful and peaceful. We loved our relaxing weekend here and would definitely stay again.

Excellent Vacation Stay

We had a wonderful stay at The Castaway Vacation Home. The property had everything we could have asked for. The kitchen and baths were well stocked and the home was very clean and comfortable.

Very nice place to relax and unwind from work stress!

There is plenty of space available to relax and enjoy the quiet surroundings. Only were in for 2 nights so we didn't get a good opportunity to really take advantage of all the amenities... I will definitely be staying here again. Next time will be for a longer time...

Wonderful time on the Au Sable

The place has been renovated with new flooring, bathrooms, and outside decking. It was very clean and we had no issues that needed to be addressed by the owners. This has not been the case with other places that we've rented. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Jeanne Weible

Host profile image
Chad and I are both local nurses at the hospital. We love camping, fishing, and kayaking. We meet great people and love being able to provide a clean home for people to come and enjoy Northern Michigan.

Why they chose this property

Beautiful river view. Deer and turkey frequent the property. The home is five miles from town.

What makes this property unique

The home sits up. Take the gentle slope to the river to find easy in and out of the rocky bottom shallow river.
