About this cabin rental

PLEASE READ ENTIRELY.

BuckWild cabin. Within hiking distance of Au Sable River with it's world class waters and Quality fishing trophy rainbow and brown trout / Hunting/ Canoeing and Kayaking/ BullGap ORV/ UTV/ Hiking/ Biking/ Wolf Creek frontage/ Birding -- famous Kirtland's Warbler spring/summer nesting and yes they are real. Authentic 100 years old Rustic Cedar Log -PermaLog Cabin. Very peaceful cedar and pine private acreage. Huge campfire pit. wood provided. BuckWild IS EXTREMELY rustic...NO HEAT and NO AC other than a small space heater and a box fan provided. bring the woollies Just in case... Also note there is a pet fee....$50 per stay, and this is a dog (cats are forbidden) friendly cabin. So sorry ....but cats are not allowed. Fireplace is beautiful, and is fully operational. Enough wood is supplied for 1 fire per day. We are still improving the fireplace from inside out and top to bottom. I also post a video for you to view with your own eyes..... https://youtu.be/BISICwXF8eM

onsite huge pit and plenty of seating. small parties with prior approval. propane BBQ. heavily treed 3 acre lot with flowing creek to au sable. Absolutely stunning.

always clean. premium towels and linens.

a new addition! Da Bear has been sighted in yard....watch this video. https://youtu.be/bYB_1X4ZLwY This authentic permalog cabin is as close to nature as you get short of sleeping in a tent yet still has a brand new modern hot shower and full kitchen.

We no longer charge a cleaning fee. we expect and hope you will clean up after yourselves. After your stay we will happily do the laundry and clean as we do everytime so those who follow you at BuckWild can enjoy our special slice of heaven as much as you will. please don't test our limits in this regard.

If you like the critters of the forest...you are in luck! lots of turkeys/squirrels/deer/porcupine/100 different kinds of birds/even the healthy dose of bugs( pro tip: bring your best DEET product...you will thank me later) and there are even bats...I swear they don't attack people. More rare is BigFoot and the elusive chupacabras. legendary beasts to be sure and they are kid friendly.as are we. So be ready to explore these mysteries and legends and be immersed into everything this natural wonder has to offer... The HMNF (Huron Manistee National Forest) is literally just several steps out the door

All new for 2023: brand new and expanded bathroom. No more dingey standup shower stall. 32x60 shower with modern fixtures and new oak floor. It is fabulous and far more spacious for your most discerning guests. And yes the 18 gallon water heater was trashed in favor of a gas fired on demand whole house unit....enabling us to utilize a future antique clawfoot tub (hopefully by spring 2026. as of today's date this tub is still on the drawing board) in addition to an unlimited supply of the best northern Michigan hot water in both the shower (and future planned clawfiot tub) simultaneously if desired. I promise this shower is, hands down, the best one in town. No more 3 to 5 minute showers no more dingy stall typical of all other rentals. Anticipation!

New for 2024. joining the modern Era in a small way.....added a smart TV for those wanting to stream. wifi is online. also updating kitchen countertop and sink... wait til you see this splashy update.

all new for 2025. Fido deserves to be pampered too. on arrival fido will find his very own box of treats sheets and blankets. maybe even a toy or two. message for Fido…Fido, please ask mom or dad to show you how the sheets and blankets work. these are for you only to leave your paw prints. enjoy your stay here at BuckWild.

new for 2026. kitchen updated. you have to see it.

Additional note....please be accurate on reservations. The 175 per night (min stay is 2 nights) is for 2 persons. All additional persons are 40 each per night. And the one time $50 dog fee is additional as well. and ...I hate that I must state this.... but for example... if you reserve for 2 persons....showing up with 5 people staying on-site will incur an additional charge that is payable before access is given. Know that I do not condone attempts to sneak in what I call stowaways. THIS applies to both extra persons and dogs. Doing so is grounds for denial of access without refund. I will be merciless at my discretion should this situation occur.

Additionally, The indoor space is protected by a very fancy smart wifi connected smoke and CO2 detector for your safety. Outdoor security is provided via 7 outdoor cameras placed strategically around my 3 acres to protect not only your vehicles and property...but also my own things at my neighboring cabin where I reside.

Cabin access is easy. instructions provided prior to arrival via both text and email. We are also easily accessible by phone text or email. I am often living at my home next door to the cabin which you are renting should you need anything at all in a hurry. Again, we are often there on-site in next door cabin where I live. Stop by to say hello. Welcome to BuckWild.

Jonathan was a very attentive host. The cabin cute and cozy is perfect.Centrally located to enjoy all that Mio has to offer. We highly recommend Buckwild Cabin for your getaway. Our fur baby was made to feel welcomed. We will be back again.

Cabin was exactly as described, loved the rustic feel, knotty pine interior and stone fireplace. My girlfriend and I along with our dog Ollie loved the property and the area. Jonathan was a great host and fantastic river guide. Will be back next year with a side x side in tow. Great area for hiking, canoeing, bikes and side x sides.

If you do not understand “rustic” this is NOT the place for you. If you MUST have complete privacy (no doors on either bedroom) this is probably not the place for you. If you grew up camping in the 70’s and you miss it but your body has had enough of the cold hard ground - THIS is what you need! The doors and door handles take me back to visiting Great Grandma. The absolute charm of a northern cabin! Yet he has modernized the bathroom to the point of never wanting to leave. The hosts attention to small details- York peppermint patties on the bed stands, bag of treats on the top shelf with a box of toys on the floor for our dog, towels folded so you feel like you’re in a 5star hotel, 1/2 dozen farm fresh eggs and bottles of water in the fridge, the homemade brownies made up for the fact that the promised campfire was rained out. Jonathan should be very proud of all the updates he has made thus far!Icing on the cake- his knowledge of the area - where to fish, where to hike, good places to eat etc! We will be looking for this place when we’re in the area again!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful rustic cabin. Everything was spotless, and the cozy décor made us feel right at home. The host was incredibly communicative and friendly, making check‑in and planning seamless. Our only regret is that we could only stay one night! We’re already planning to come back during mushroom season and in the summer for a canoe adventure. This cabin offered the perfect blend of comfort and rustic charm, and the host’s hospitality made it even more special. Highly recommend!
