Escape to a cozy cottage on Ausable Lake, in Lupton, Michigan!

Had an amazing Labor Day weekend! The cabin is so cute & cozy and has the best views & sunsets ever! We went on two kayak trips and got to explore the lake! We would definitely come back!

Nicely decorated and clean. Check in and departure was a breeze with a door code given to you prior to arrival. The kitchen was fully stocked with whatever you needed to cook with and plenty of towels available for both kitchen/bath. Thankful for the AC during our stay when the temps were in the 90's. Shane responded quickly to any questions or concerns. The sunsets were an added bonus to our stay. Would definitely recommend.

Had a great 2 night stay at this relaxing lakeside cottage. Very clean and nicley decorated. One small issue with not knowing how to operate the shower but Sara took care of it quickly. Had a great time using the paddle boards and paddleboat. Very quick to respond to my many questions about the area and all of the restaurant recommendations were good. Would definitely stay here again.

This was my 2nd time staying in Hale, on a 2 week work-cation and this house exceeded our expectations. The house is a lot bigger looking than the photos show. I have a family of 4 and we never felt cramped and the kids had plenty of room to stay out each others hair (8 year old girl 11 year old boy iykyk) The kitchens HUGE, well equipped, and probably enough seating between the two tables for 12 people.Now... onto the important part: THE LAKE!AuSable Lake is beautiful. It's almost like two lakes, tied together by a really shallow sand bar. The eastern portion is mostly developed but the western side looks like something from Northern Canada. Ironically the fishing, for me at least, was WAAAY better on the developed side. For being a public lake I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of Largemouth and Northern Pike. I won't give you my secret spots, but I'll tell you to focus on the deep weed edges and you'll be just fine ;)The host was gracious enough to let me bring a boat to dock there for my stay, but there's also a paddle boat avaiable to do some exploring/fishing. There is a place you rent boats from locally, FYI.The lake was never crazy busy w/ boaters or anglers and everyone I met made me feel like I was part of the community. My arm was starting to get sore from having to wave at everyone you see... it much be a northern michigan thing.Book it!
