About this property

Cozy Log Cabin In The Woods

Our cabin is secluded and nestled in the woods on 3 acres. The nearest neighbors are more than 150 feet thru the woods. We have ALWAYS been completely disinfecting our cabin, bedding, linens, etc.. with a powerful germicide that is effective against virtually every type of virus and bacteria including the human coronavirus. In times like these it's nice to be able to get away to a safe place and enjoy nature and our cabin offers just that-- a safe and secluded place to chill for a while.

You are going to love this sweet little northern Michigan getaway located on 3 acres and adjoining thousands of acres of Wakeley lake area federal and with miles of hiking trails. Lots of great fishing and swimming lakes close by. But-- the main attraction to this location is the famous Au Sable River mainstream-- just 500 yards from the cabin. This river is nationally known for its world class fly fishing for brown, rainbow, and brook trout.

The Au Sable river is also a popular destination for canoeing, kayaking, and tubing with several local rental liveries in grayling.

Cabin has 2 double bed futons and a double bed air mattress that can be used if needed to sleep up to 6 guests. The cabin has a fully equipped kitchen with everything-- just like home. Nothing you need to bring. All bedding, towels and washcloths provided. Both charcoal and gas grills provided. Basically-- all you need to bring is your clothes, food, and drink and you are good to go!

Pet friendly. Huge yard with big campfire pit. Picnic table and lawn chairs. A great place for the kids with swing set, sandbox, yard games, basketball hoop, horseshoes, and more. Just a 500 yard walk down the road to the Au Sable river mainstream to a great spot to swim, fish, canoe, tube, kayak. Our cabin is located just 15 minutes from Grayling.

No internet service at the cabin other than Verizon and AT&T cellular 4G service. Equipped with TV/DVD/VCR player and hundreds of movies.

We supply 1/3 cord campfire wood for $20 when you book your stay. If you want additional wood you need to either bring your own or buy from a local source.

Our cabin is available to rent starting Memorial Day weekend thru October 31.

It was a great getaway

I thought it was 'secluded'. But the neighbors had their chainsaws going. Probably that time of year, anyway. Maybe a different time of year would be better to visit as I went right before rifle hunting season. If you're looking for a comfy bed maybe bring a cushion of some kind for the futon. Other than that everything was peachy 😁

Great cabin for Hex Camp 🎣

Had a great time fishing for trout with 3 buddies during the Hex hatch. Really enjoyed the cabin, property and surrounding area. Rod was a great host and we appreciated his local knowledge of fishing in the area. As always when enjoying the beauty of Michigans out of doors, our stay just wasnt long enough! 😀. Overall, great little cabin and would recommend

Chasing Hex

Basic hunting camp cabin that brought back memories of first hunting and fishing camps decades ago. Kitchen fully-stocked; bathroom and shower very small, but adequate; and sleeping accommodation for 4 large men, enough to provide access to bathroom at night. Property well-maintained and private, a couple of turkeys providing patrol security the entire stay. Recommend for those who want the basic comforts after spending most of time fishing or hiking outdoors.

Little gem in the woods

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin; and the property is gorgeous! Trails to walk, large yard for family fun, and a huge fire but for bonfires. Most of all our 2 dogs were able to come on this trip and loved being with us. The host was very welcoming and informative. Would definitely recommend this beautiful place.

Father's Day Weekend

We brought our daughters and dogs out for a Father's Day weekend getaway in this cozy little cabin. The property is beautiful in every way. You're surrounded by woods and birdsong. We saw squirrels, chipmunks, birds, bats, deer, and even a turtle! We had a wonderful time playing family games inside and yard games outside. We enjoyed walking the trails behind the cabin. (Beware of ticks. Tick spray was no match for them. But we feel like it's the risk you take playing in nature. So not upset at all.) The cabin itself is cute and cozy and very well stocked. Great communication from the host. Overall an amazing trip! Thank you again for sharing your place with our family! -Loucks Family

Always a great place to stay!

The Lark Inn is always comfortable, has excellent Au Sable river access nearby, and Rod is super friendly and helpful! I've stayed here several times, first with my dad, and most recently with my sister. I highly recommend this for the angler that doesn't really care for camping in a tent - the cabin is small, but very comfortable and only a short drive to the Mason Tract Trail and fishing access.

My dog and I had a great time. It's a small cabin suitable for two, plus young kids or dog.Property is well kept, with a trail leading back into the woods. Short walk to the Au Sable where you can put in with a canoe or kayak if you bring one for fishing.

Excellent cabin near the Au Sauble River

Excellent location. The Au Sauble is just a short walk down the road. The cabin sits on very nice property with trails you can walk through. We really enjoyed the firepit whi h was well stocked with wood. The cabin was very clean and was stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of space for two adults and our Golden Retriever. The host was very Accommodating and check in/out was simple. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Rod Larkin

Host profile image
This cabin was built in 1963 and has been in our family since 1970. We moved to Grayling in 2010 and we live less than 10 minutes from our cabin. We love living in the Grayling area and especially on the Au Sable River. This is God's Country for sure!

Why they chose this property

My parents bought this property when I was 13 years old and I've been spending time here for 48 years and counting. I purchased this property from my parents in 1986.

The Grayling area has so much to offer from pristine rivers and lakes to Hartwick Pines, endless miles of hiking and ORV trails. It's a great place to stay and a great place to play!

What makes this property unique

Our little log cabin is nothing fancy so if you are looking for a posh resort-- keep looking. We cater to people who want to get away from it all. We cater to families with kids and pets. We cater to sportsman who love to fish and hunt. People come here and return here more for the outdoors and all it has to offer more than the indoors.

With both the Au Sable and Manistee river systems in the Grayling area-- it's a fly fishing, canoeing, kayaking, float tubing meca!

Everyone who stays with us says-- "You have thought of everything we might need or want to have during our stay." We love helping people make great memories Up North!

We offer all this at a price that's hard to beat-- less than just about any motel/hotel overnight price you'll find.
