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.

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 View

We had a lovely stay. Sitting out on the patio and looking over the river was very peaceful. Despite having neighbors on all sides, it felt very secluded and was quiet. The view of the fireworks over the river on the 4th was an added treat! The home had everything we could need to make our stay comfortable.

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.

Perfect getaway

This home was really comfortable, clean, true to the photos and close to kayaking and hiking. Being able to bring two dogs was the best. My dog enjoyed the river and had a great time. My family and I had a wonderful vacation and plan on returning next year. It has everything you need and super close to a grocery store which alleviated bringing up a lot of food

Beautiful River Setting

The outdoor area is wonderful - from the house deck overlooking the yard to the firepit area and to the deck on the river. The yard is spacious and provided space for games and room to keep our kayaks. We spent most of our time outside.
