Great stay

This is our second time renting this house, first in the summer. It was a great time with close access to canoeing and town in case you forget anything. Plus, it’s nice having the river right there to cool off in. It’s very shallow but our three year old daughter loved being able to run around in it

Beautiful Home

We enjoyed our visit to Roscommon. The home is well maintained and lovely with plenty of room for 5 adults. Our only concern was that no iron was found but a broken ironing board was in the garage but we survived! The area is beautiful!

Beautiful home on the Ausable River.

Our favorite house to stay at when we are visiting Roscommon Michigan. Roscommon is such a cute little town with lots of friendly people. Bill the owner was very nice, and the check in was a easy process. The house was very clean, no complaints! Everything was so beautiful and relaxing. Watching the Roscommon Fourth of July fireworks on the deck is a must! Highly recommend this house to anyone that is looking for a nice place to stay.

Peaceful getaway

Wonderful home for a peaceful getaway. Like previous guests have said the home is very well stocked. Large kitchen with everything you could need including coffee pots, coffee filters baking sheets, etc. bathrooms well stocked also with toilet paper soap, towels, all the essentials. Great backyard with fire pit and firewood provided. Can walk right out your back door with a tube and float down the river to the canoe livery about a 20 -25 minute float and then walk back to the house only a half a mile. Couldn’t ask for a better host. He answers very promptly and took care of any issues we had (AC went out and he had somebody there within 30 minutes to fix). Wouldn’t hesitate to rent this place again. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed the pool table

We enjoyed our stay. The pool table was a pleasant surprise and we enjoyed that. Spent a day at Mackinac Island. Hanging out at the fire pit got rained out. Loved the big kitchen where everyone could hang out and talk. Saw deer crossing river. Close to town but secluded.

Very comfortable home

This property has a beautiful view of the river. The house was comfortable and we did use the kitchen for every meal which was stocked with all the tools we needed. This home has a lot of strange sounds at night which we thought it might be the heaters. Overall a very nice home.

cozy big house right down the street from ski trail

We chose this house for its big fireplace, river views, and proximity to cross country ski trails, and all those were great! We had no snow, however, so we just did some train running and hiking instead and would love to return when there is some snow. The fireplace is double-facing and really big -- plenty of wood. We loved watching the ducks swim around in the river while sipping our coffee. The heating system in the house is very warm. We enjoyed the place very much.

Perfect Getaway

My family and I just stayed here for a week in June. It's the second time we've rented this home and most likely won't be the last. It's perfect for a larger group (we had six and a dog). The pictures on the site are accurate. Spacious kitchen and a brand new gas stove made cooking very enjoyable. Super close to a market and gas station and a few restaurants, all walkable. Kayak livery right at the end of the street, which unfortunately, we were not able to utilize as we had a number of rainy days. Highly recommend this place!

Plenty of room!

We had a terrific time in Roscommon. The home is in a great location and close to everything we wanted to do. We only had one rainy day and loved that we could play pool and games, or even separate to our rooms for down time. Had to call owner once about a small problem and he was on it very quickly. Enjoyed the fire-pit, the river view, horseshoes, close access to Campbell's canoe and kayak livery. We could walk from the home to the Tisdale Triangle Trail head as it is right at the end of Esther Ct. Short drive to the Marguerite Gahagan Nature Preserve and close enough to 1-75 that a trip to Hartwick Pines was an easy drive. I also loved that there were three bathrooms each with its own shower! This local would be great for a friend's retreat or family reunion.

Our stay was amazing! Mom, Dad, and 3 daughters ages 12, 8, 7. Plenty of room and so many things to explore. We used Campbell's down the road to Kayak. Higgins lake state park is so close we visited there for a day trip. We golfed, and spent the rest of the time on the decks overlooking the gorgeous river.
