About this cabin rental
Newly re-modeled! Built in the 1940's by famed fly fishing guide Jim Wakeley, our 'River Cabin' is located at the historic Wakeley Bridge. 'Uncle Jim' purchased the property during World War II and began developing the property one building at a time. As a second generation fly fishing guide, my family and I are working to keep the memory of Jim Wakeley alive and share our love of the river. The cabin is nestled along the world famous 'Holy Waters', a 'fly's only', 'catch and release' section on the AuSable. The cabin is just a short drive to the North and South Branches of the river.
For the golf enthusiast we are only a short drive away from both, Forest Dunes Golf Club and Garland Golf Resort. For the hikers, bikers and bird watchers the cabin is three miles from Wakeley Lake, a beautiful part of the Huron-Mainistee National Forest area with miles of trails with loon and eagle sightings on a regular basis.
The quiet and cozy cabin offers two bedrooms with a queen size bed in each, full kitchen with living area including a couch, for additional sleeping. Dishes and linens are supplied along with a charcoal grill. There is a riverside fire pit for enjoying the summer evenings. Now with AC!
Pets are considered, dogs only. Breed and number of dogs are to be disclosed at time of inquiry.
Pet fee / $50.00 per stay.
Whether you are fly-fishing, canoeing or simply relaxing our cabin provides it all.
Note: Owners live on property.
If your dog is allowed he/she must be leashed, not allowed on furniture and if left alone must be crated.

We really enjoyed our stay in the very well decorated and comfortable cabin. It was also the cleanest, freshest place we have ever stayed. The setting was beautiful and serene. The grounds are very well kept. Watching the river was very relaxing....and fishing there was fun. Just walk out the door and there you are. There is so much history with the cabin and area too.Colleen and her husband were very welcoming. They live on the property, but there is great privacy or you can enjoy a chat.We enjoyed exploring the area.We would certainly stay in their cabin again.

The best VRBO property I ever stayed at. It was squeaky clean and everything in place and the grounds were emasculate . The cabin on the river was north woods - knotty pine throughout with log style furniture. Beds were comfortable . River frontage with a great view from the cabin. . While cabin is small they did a nice job of utilizing the space with a well planned out layout . The grounds has a big lawn all the way to the river with fire pit and firewood. A quaint rustic bridge takes you over a small stream to an island with a bench to allow the sound of the river to discard any stress you may have brought with you . I look forward to staying there again . Colleen and Dave are perfect hosts

My husband and I wanted a peaceful and quiet setting in nature and this cabin was exactly what we were looking for. The cabin itself is beautiful inside with amazingly comfortable beds with a number of blankets available for chilly nights, plenty of hot water in the shower, and everything one would need in the kitchen. The cabin is situated next to the river. We had many visitors each day- deer, wild turkeys, lots of birds. The hosts were available if we needed them but not intrusive. They gave us great ideas for things to see and do.and this location is a great starting point for day trips throughout northern Michigan. Would rate them higher than 5 stars if I could!
