About this property

A Perfect Northern Get-Away On The Scenic Big Creek In Luzerne

This is a very clean, warm, cozy and relaxing 2 bedroom vintage cabin located within the Huron National Forest on the crystal clear Big Creek, a main tributary to the Ausable River. You will be pleased to find a host of basic amenities. This is the perfect place to unplug from your busy life and enjoy watching the various wildlife and many bird species, reading a book & dining in the screened porch while watching and listening to the river, not to mention the starry night campfires. Your stay can include many outdoor activities, such as: visiting the large neighboring Amish community with their tidy farms and unique stores, fishing, tubing, kayaking, canoeing, ATV riding, hiking, scenic overlooks and much more. We find that when many of our guests arrive they prefer to just stay and enjoy the very unique, quiet and natural surroundings

This is the nicest cabin and we just enjoyed the beauty and watching all of the birds. We also had daily visit from the turkeys. The property is so relaxing. They have everything you could need on site. We will return again!

This was a wonderful visit. We loved everything about the cottage, the setting, the area. It was quiet, comfortable and relaxing. Perfect getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Nick & Laura Custance

We cherish this part of Michigan and all that it has to offer.

My Grandparents purchased their property 3 miles north of Luzerne on the Big Creek way back in 1944. They started building their "Red" Cabin in 1965 ( I was 2 years old ).

My wife Laura and I purchased their Cabin in 1997 and have over the years purchased a few others in the area for the purpose of preservation. All of our properties are somewhat connected and private. We live in one that is centrally located to the rest. We do have 1 exception which is a Cabin on the outskirts of Mio.
Mio is 6 miles away and is the County Seat.
