Great River Escape

Fantastic getaway. We didn't have the greatest weather, but the River house is so cozy and cheerful that it more than made up for it. We were able to get some hiking, fishing and kayaking in. They are great hosts.

Home away from home!

We come to Oscoda every 4th of July to see family and struggled to find a rental to fit our needs. Jerry and Jen were the best hosts! They had plenty of supplies, games, entertainment and the rooms were so welcoming and comfortable! The Maui pad was such a bonus! We will be back next year!

Amazing Location!

The hosts were great to work with and the house was very clean upon our arrival. We were in the area to do work but would love to come back for some R&R on the river. You simply can't beat this location if you want to be close to town and want to catch some walleye right out in front of the house.

Perfect Oscoda Rental

Adorable little cottage right on the banks of the Au Sable. The house was decorated so cute, everything was clean and maintained and the beds were very comfortable. The hosts are very responsive to questions. It was so fun to be right on the banks of the river and we were within biking distance to the beach. Love this house and would definitely stay here again.

Extended Weekend Stay

Stayed here with the wife and 2 year old for a long weekend. Very short drive to the beach, and about 15 minute drive to Tawas. Our 2 year old likes waking up in the middle of the night and wandering around, so she ended up sleeping downstairs on the couch instead of the upstairs bedrooms. There’s also a pullout couch on the main floor, so the space is very accommodating!

Perfect little A-Frame with all you need!

This cottage is the sweetest little property. We had such a good time at this location which is just off the bridge, directly on the AuSable river. You can watch the boats/tubers from the large deck with sofa, /chairs, or walk downtown, or visit the beach all by foot. The house is renovated in a luxurious way with fun decor. The beds and bedding are hotel quality. This house is very well-stocked and even had items we didnt even think about---bikes, canoes, bluetooth speaker, K-Cups, etc. The owner is close by and very willing to help. She invited us to use her waterfront and toys. Will certainly stay here again when visiting family in the area!

Great time on the river

My family of 5 rented this house. I have three teenagers. We really enjoyed a week here. It is a great location on the river. You can swim, kayak, fish, or just hang out. There weren't many bugs, and the water was great in late July. I swam and fished every day. The town of Oscoda is right across the bridge, you can walk to the ice cream store or the beach in less than 10 minutes. There are actually three ice cream stores within walking distance and the town beach is nearby too. We brought our bicycles and rode them everywhere. The place was clean, had everything we needed, and was easy to use. The owners left great instructions and check in was a breeze. My kids have asked if we are going back next year.

The home was amazing and had everything plus more that you could need. The decor is beachy and looks like it could be featured in a magazine. The beds & pillows were so comfortable. The kitchen has everything needed to cook for a big family. Having two living rooms was a bonus. We had our four teenagers with us & they had a blast. The kids fished, kayaked, went swimming, rode bikes to get ice-cream and played with the backyard games. They did lots of swimming in the river & Lake Huron is a short walk with an amazing beach. The owners are awesome and very accommodating! We Highly recommend for families. It was an amazing and relaxing vacation!
