About this cabin rental

Just 25 minutes east of Grayling - Experience a romantic fairy tale log cabin on the river - WITH A WATERFALL VIEW!!. Our cabin is literally 50 feet from the water's edge.

Gold Fox Lodge is an enchanting, historic, luxury, 4-season, riverside log cabin with an amazing riverfront setting. The decor, furnishings and atmosphere are simply magical. Recline with your favorite cup of coffee or glass of wine beneath towering century-old cedar and pine trees while taking in the awe of the river, wildlife and romantic cascading waterfall.

Let us spoil you in this 3 bedroom, 1 bath log cabin that offers amazing upscale comforts in a rare and historic north woods romantic atmosphere. Enjoy the cozy great room layout with its leather recliners and massive stone fireplace and amber-aged logs. The kitchen and bathroom have been tastefully updated, maintaining the historic charm of the log cabin while integrating luxury touches. The sunroom overlooking the river even has heated tile floors to keep your feet cozy all year.

No matter the season, the atmosphere is perfect for a romantic getaway, anniversary, birthday, honeymoon, or intimate family vacation.

The cabin sits in a secluded river location on Big Creek river with 10 private acres and is for your exclusive use.

One very special treat is an old fashioned 18 hole miniature golf course that was built decades ago by a former owner. The stone-lined course winds through the forest and is sure to make a lasting impression on children and adults alike.

You will simply want for nothing as everything you could possibly need is provided for your comfort including all of your kitchen and cooking needs, luxury bedding, linens, and towels.

In the warmer months common outdoor activities in the region include fishing, hiking, bird watching, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, tubing, golfing, ATV trail riding, and horseback riding.

In the winter months things don't slow down as the temperatures, snowfall, and terrain make an ideal winter wonderland. The area has many maintained trails for cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling in addition to tubing and downhill skiing within a short drive. If you just want to stay warm, the indoor cozy fireplace setting and sunroom view of the river and wildlife year round will not disappoint.

The area is rich with outfitters supporting your canoe, kayak, tube, ATV, snowmobile, horseback, skiing, and fishing interests.

We have a caretaker and cleaning staff that live within minutes of the cabin - and can help with virtually any problem. Just prior to your arrival we will send you the electronic door lock code so that you can walk right in when you arrive.

Besides having plentiful trout and wildlife to entertain you right outside your back door - you're also only minutes from the famous AuSable River - home of the "Holy Waters".

Fly fishing enthusiasts have long considered the Au Sable region as a must visit destination. As chronicled in "Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die" you'll quickly appreciate the romance of this region. Experience the nearby Holy Waters, Masons Tract of the South Branch, North Branch of the AuSable, and Mio Trophy Water. In fact, it was the beauty of this region and quality of trout fishing that led to the formation of our nation's first Trout Unlimited chapter in 1959 by Au Sable river anglers. Big Creek river - flows into the AuSable just three miles downstream. Big Creek, being a tributary to the AuSable, is even considered by many to rival, the fishing on the AuSable.

We also love to help our guests plan their visit to the area and provide an area activities guide that contains key information on things to do in the area including all outdoor resources you may need and recommended restaurants and other resources in the region.

Getting to the cabin is easy in all seasons for all vehicles. The Michigan roads in this region are well maintained year round. The access road to the cabin is also maintained year round catering to 2WD vehicles. We also have a Generac standby, whole house, generator - so you never need to worry about losing power in a storm.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this magical, beautiful cottage! Everything is perfectly done. From the tiny foxes on the decor to the amazing mini golf course in the woods. We enjoyed it all, and really appreciated the tranquility of the property. My kids enjoyed fly fishing right outside the house and we enjoyed birdwatching and squirrel watching from the numerous outside areas. Everything was clean, fresh and updated. Owners were extremely responsive, friendly, and with the extra mile to make us feel comfortable. We hope to be back!

This was the perfect spot for our family to relax and make memories that we will treasure forever. From the first day we arrived, we were already talking about our return trip! The cottage was beautiful, and the setting on Big Creek was so peaceful. The kids loved the putt putt course, and it was a quick trip to nearby trails and lakes. Jeff and Beth were such kind and responsive hosts. Gold Fox Lodge is truly a special place!
