The Back Porch
@ Grayling, MI
Escape and relax in our cozy cabin on the Au Sable River

Location:  Grayling, Michigan, USA   (Take I-75 and then directly off of Hwy 72)

Accommodations:  Log cabin - 3 bedrooms, Living Room/ Kitchen, 2 Full Baths, Covered Front Porch, and
Screened-in Back Porch  (Sleeps 13).  
Porta-Crib/Playpen available.

Welcome to our peaceful cabin in the woods.  It is located on the Au Sable River,  with vacant state land  
only across the river.  Open year-round, you will find it has everything to offer, just bring your clothes
and food.  We even supply some of that, like coffee, tea, condiments, and a few things in the pantry.

Our cabin is located 10 minutes from  charming, downtown Grayling.  While downtown, step back in time
and visit Dawson-Stevens Ice Cream Parlor.  On the opposite side of the ice cream parlor enjoy some of
the best pizza and breadsticks around at the Bears Den.  While there, take time to look at some of the
pictures of the legendary bow hunter, Fred Bear.  Visit the antique store, the Quilt Store, the Bike Shop,
and the Rialto movie house, in addition to other downtown stores.

Enjoy the peaceful surroundings of our cabin while curled up in our porch swing or front porch rocking
chairs.  Listen and watch for the many birds, including hawks and occasionally a bald eagle.  We supply
the bird seed to keep the feeders filled.  Take one of the two kayaks provided (Spring through Fall) down
the path, through the woods, and slip into the peaceful Au Sable River for a gentle paddle.  You very well
might see an otter.  Five minutes upstream from the dock will be your last sight of a cabin.  (You'll only
pass f
ive!)  You will be paddling through pristine wilderness. Once in awhile you might see a fly
fisherman walking through the water.  Paddle downstream from the dock and you will pass some beautiful
cabins.  If you really want to put in a few hours in the water you can paddle right into downtown Grayling!

We also provide board games, cards, checkers, puzzles and children's books.  There is a charcoal grill
right outside the screened-in back porch.  Relax there and have your supper, read a book or stretch out
and watch for deer, wild turkey, or the occasional eagle!  

Nearby attractions include famous Mackinac Island (85 miles north), Hartwick Pines State Park(15
minutes), Hanson Hills Ski Resort/Park (10 minutes), Lake Margrethe, Higgins & Houghton Lakes, Gaylord
(golf), Traverse City, Petoskey, Tanger Outlet Center (45 minutes south)  and many others.  Snowmobiling
on the many trails that meet in Grayling (You can ride your sleds 1 mile up our road and you are on the
trails!). Brochures are at the cabin, if needed, for many nearby sites.  

Our cabin is easily accessible, located on a private, dead-end road that is maintained year-round.
