A Perfect Northern Get-Away On The Scenic Big Creek In Luzerne

This is a very clean, warm, cozy and relaxing 2 bedroom vintage cabin located within the Huron National Forest on the crystal clear Big Creek, a main tributary to the Ausable River. You will be pleased to find a host of basic amenities. This is the perfect place to unplug from your busy life and enjoy watching the various wildlife and many bird species, reading a book & dining in the screened porch while watching and listening to the river, not to mention the starry night campfires. Your stay can include many outdoor activities, such as: visiting the large neighboring Amish community with their tidy farms and unique stores, fishing, tubing, kayaking, canoeing, ATV riding, hiking, scenic overlooks and much more. We find that when many of our guests arrive they prefer to just stay and enjoy the very unique, quiet and natural surroundings

Relaxing, enjoyable stay
Our stay at the Red Cabin was wonderful! My husband was the first one inside, and he came out and said "this is a really nice cabin!" I totally agreed with him! It was a great value for the money and had everything (and more) that you could possibly need - even scotch tape!! Immaculately clean and decorated so cute. Quiet area along the creek - we sat down on the dock and enjoyed the fall day with cocktails. Communication with the owners was first rate - they replied to our texts almost immediately and were very friendly. Ate 3 times at Ma Deeters - met the owner who was super nice, and watched the Lions game on the outside patio TV. Other than having a little trouble finding the cabin the first couple times (especially in the dark!) it was a perfect long weekend! We said we need to come back in the summer and enjoy the creek more. Now that we know how to find it, we'll have to come back!! Thanks for everything!

Better signage
The property was very clean. A little hard to find when you have never been in the area. The guys asked someone and they told him there wasn't such a place and that they were scammed. The one downside was not being able to fish off the dock in front of the cabin we understand the reasoning, but the main reason the three brothers gathered together was to go fishing. We weren't able to find a place to fish. The host was easy to communicate with and the price was reasonable. Great place to just relax.

Host profile image
We cherish this part of Michigan and all that it has to offer.

My Grandparents purchased their property 3 miles north of Luzerne on the Big Creek way back in 1944. They started building their "Red" Cabin in 1965 ( I was 2 years old ).

My wife Laura and I purchased their Cabin in 1997 and have over the years purchased a few others in the area for the purpose of preservation. All of our properties are somewhat connected and private. We live in one that is centrally located to the rest. We do have 1 exception which is a Cabin on the outskirts of Mio.
Mio is 6 miles away and is the County Seat.
