Tucked into the tall pines alongside the Holy Waters. The Castaway offers an amazing location for enjoying all the Au Sable has to offer. The setting couldn't be more perfect. Just outside the kitchen guests will enjoy an outdoor area with a firepit. The area is perfect for cooking over the open flame, relaxing with a good book, or snuggling up to watch the star-filled night sky. The deck around the front of the home has a grill and river front view. The cabin itself sits about 200 feet back from the river. Down near the river there is a grass clearing perfect for sitting in the Adirondacks while waiting for just the right moment to wet your line. Entry into the river off the property is ankle deep rocky bottom. This is a highly sought area for wading anglers. For those not familiar with the Grayling area, it offers more than the greatest fly fishing. The river attracts tubers, kayakers, and canoeing. Our cabin is situated between Burton's Landing and Keystone Landing. Grayling is also in the center of a region with the most incredible golf courses such as Forest Dunes, Treetops, and Boyne Mountain. Looking for a nearby beach? Kneff Lake is a small hidden local spot for kids to pay in the and water. Wellington Farms, a historic working farm, also makes a great visit for something out of the ordinary. The winter months attract many who love the outdoors. Whether you are into snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, sledding or downhill skiing, you will find a spot to keep you engaged. The cabin has a perfect sledding hill. Hanson Hills offers many trails for year-round adventures, including tubing and skiing. Treetops offers downhill skiing and tubing. We like to cater to family gatherings, anglers and couples. Out of respect to our neighborhood we do request that there aren't any large gatherings or late nights that would disrupt their quiet river setting.
Excellent stay! The kitchen was the best stocked I have ever experienced! Pristine condition! Many amenities! Beautiful landscape. Owners are friendly and responsive. Highly recommend!
Our second time staying at The Castaway and it keeps getting better. Would recommend to any of our friends and family as the perfect place for a getaway Up North. Conveniently located near Grayling and accommodating to the 4-legged member of our family. Fishing right outside the backdoor. 10/10.
My husband and I loved our weekend at this cabin on the river. It was very clean and cozy. The kitchen was super well stocked, which we really appreciated. The cottage is close enough to town (about a 10 minutes drive) if you need anything, but still very private. The riverfront is beautiful and peaceful. We loved our relaxing weekend here and would definitely stay again.
We had a great time at the Castaway! The property was perfect. We will definitely be coming back next year for another fishing trip on the Au Sable River.
We had a wonderful stay at The Castaway Vacation Home. The property had everything we could have asked for. The kitchen and baths were well stocked and the home was very clean and comfortable. Jeanne was great to work with and quick to respond to any questions we asked. Would love to stay at the property in the future.
Property manager was very prompt to answer questions and very nice to work with. Very clean and would highly recommend staying here. River frontage was gorgeous!!!
The hosts are great people, beautiful newly renovated home! The art work was done very well, interior decorations.
Loved all the space that it afforded our family.
Thanks!
The house was perfect! Well stocked. Well decorated. Comfy beds and beautiful location. We would definitely rent it again! Only 4 adults but the home is perfect for a family also! Enjoyed feeding the goats and chickens next door too!
Gorgeous place with great amenities, incredible scenery, and a wonderful host. Communicative and friendly at every turn. It's a newer listing so we took a chance with less reviews and are SO glad we did! Definitely will be back!
Very nice place to relax and unwind from work stress!
There is plenty of space available to relax and enjoy the quiet surroundings. Only were in for 2 nights so we didn't get a good opportunity to really take advantage of all the amenities... I will definitely be staying here again. Next time will be for a longer time...
Seven of us from a womenâs only recreation group that I run stayed here for the weekend. It was perfect. Everything about it. It was the right size for us and had everything we needed. The host was welcoming and friendly. The hot tub was a bonus! The setting was gorgeous. We all agreed weâd love to stay again, especially in the warmer months so we could canoe or kayak on the river.
Beautiful, modern accommodations on the Holy Waters. The less people that know about this, the more likely it will be available for our next visit. So don't tell anyone!
Chad and I are both local nurses at the hospital. We love camping, fishing, and kayaking. We meet great people and love being able to provide a clean home for people to come and enjoy Northern Michigan.
