NBOC was a very quiet, rustic get-away. The beds were comfy. The breakfast was delicious. So many antiques and history, it was impossible to take it all in!

This is a very old fishing bed and breakfast. We slept in the suite with a king bed and that was very comfortable with our own bathroom. The breakfast was very good. Coffee was excellent. Water is very good(well water). Very low key place. Great place a couple of blocks away for food and beer. Terri was very nice who help prepare breakfast. The other guest were very friendly.

Michigan Scenic Treasure

The views of the river, along with the history and nostalgia of the lodge create an exceptional experience. North Branch Outing Club setting is spectacular. Terry & staff made our stay extremely comfortable and provided incredible hospitality.

We enjoyed 2 days at this lovely, vintage, lodge. If you like history, antiques, and God's beautiful creation, LOOK no more - THIS is where you want to be. There are 2 very lovely porches to enjoy your book or simply listen to the Au Sable & birds and a few steps down to the river for fishing. Great dining opportunities are close or up to 20 minutes away. We plan to stay here again!!

A lucky find

This place is a hidden gem. An historic trout club in a beautiful setting. Terry and her crew provide a delicious and hearty breakfast. And Richard who runs the fly fishing store is a wealth of knowledge.

A step back in time

Very friendly, clean and quaint. The staff is great and this is truly a throwback in time. As noted online, the bathrooms are shared, which can be inconveient, especially in the morning before checkout time. Also, my room did not have any electrical outlets in the room, only a power strip that plugged in outside the window, and a pull light over the bed, a little odd.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room i signed up for looked nice. I wasnt put into that room. I was put into a small, dirty, extremely outdated room that was infested with ladybugs. We asked to get the room that i felt i was paying for, and the manager obliged. Its NOT Grayling! Its advertised as Grayling, but its 30 miles away. On a very hairy little tiny dirt road for 9.5 miles. Advertising is horrible. Its not what its meant to be. With that said, Terri was wonderful and very nice. Breakfast was great. If youre a fisherman looking to wake up and walk down to the river....great place! If you want a luxurious, quiet getaway....this is NOT your place.

6/10 Okay

Disliked: Amenities
I truly appreciate the staff’s dedication to preserving the historical character of the facility—it’s clear that a great deal of care has gone into maintaining its authenticity. However, some aspects of the stay were quite unusual and challenging for today’s travelers. The room was very small and lacked modern essentials such as a door lock, microwave, and refrigerator, which are especially important during the summer months. The fan in the open window was not sufficient to maintain a comfortable temperature or humidity level, making it difficult to sleep both at night and during the day. The air-conditioning was non an option. The twin beds were small and not particularly comfortable, which further impacted the quality of rest. The shared bathrooms had non-secured doors, which did not provide peace of mind. Additionally, the breakfast offering was limited to a basic continental selection—an English breakfast was not available during our stay, despite being expected. Given these conditions, we chose not to return the next day and instead made the decision to drive home overnight. That said, we are grateful for the warm and welcoming attitude of the staff, which we truly appreciated. Thank you.

This is a historic place visited by the likes of Henry Ford, filled with fishing memorabilia on the walls, that is a great choice for a group (or family) who wish to test their skills on the Au Sable or other local trout streams Terry and the other staff were wonderful. The suite I stayed in, one of two with their own bath rooms, was commodious. It's well located on the north branch of the Au Sable, and only about 25 minutes from Grayling.
