About this cabin rental

Want to really get away from it all? You found the place! The Hideout is a cute and peaceful rustic cabin on the Au Sable River outside of Oscoda. It's a studio cabin with 2 beds, a full bathroom, and sleeps 4 adults. It is located in the woods with a trail in the backyard that leads to the river. The backyard comes with a picnic table, charcoal grill, and a fire pit. Dog-friendly as well! Perfect for hiking, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, cross-country skiing and exploring nature!


GUEST INTERACTION:

We have a local property manager that lives in the area and is available to answer any question and address any issues.


NEIGHBORHOOD:

The cabin is fairly isolated and there are few neighbors in the area. It is pretty deeply buried in a beautiful forest environment with lots of trees and the river nearby. It's truly a great place to get away to nature and the area is great for outdoor sports of all kinds, including hiking, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and cross-country skiing.

The nearby town of Oscoda is a cute little northern MIchigan town with a good supply of shops, bars, restaurants, and coffee shops. It is also on Lake Huron and has some lovely beaches for swimming and sun bathing.


GUEST ACCESS:

Guests have access to the entire property, except for the detached garage, which is locked and used for owner storage.


THE SPACE:

The cabin is pure Northern Michigan in style with a cute, woodsy, and rustic, but very comfortable, interior.

It is highly recommended that guests have their own vehicle.

The Hideout is exactly as described. It is the perfect location to feel secluded but not too far from “civilization.” The cabin was clean, warm, and cozy. We were very happy that we were able to bring our dog. We got great use out of the outdoor fire pit and the trails behind the cabin. We loved the Hideout so much we even stayed an extra day.

We truly were impressed with this cabin and location. It was a very relaxing time in the woods. We were alittle concerned with the road being so close, but it really didn't seem to be an issue (very minimal traffic). We had all-day campfires, hiking the trails and enjoying the river views right out behind the cabin. We even helped the future guests and cleaned up the yard and the trail/ added branches to the edges. We will be back again!
