No frills, no fuss just the essentials and a quiet invitation to slow down. This area of Northern Michigan has a character all its own. You’ll find tall pines, friendly waves from neighbors, and a refreshing sense that folks here live by their own rhythm. The cabin is modest with a screened in patio made for sitting with a strong cup of coffee or something stronger. Nature is ever-present: birds, wind in the trees, and the occasional ATV. Just down the road, the Au Sable River offers world-class fishing, peaceful floats, and trails for hiking and biking. Nearby towns offer a glimpse into a culture that’s equal parts practical, proud, and unhurried. This isn’t a luxury escape, it’s a real place, with a whole lot of heart. If you’re looking to reconnect with nature, unplug, and appreciate the charm of simpler things, you might feel right at home here. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Internet access ### Bedrooms - Bedroom ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Things to do - Canoeing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 480 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106230000/106223900/106223859/f26292ff.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A Stream runs through it.
