About this property
"Royce's Outpost" nearby trails and AuSable River
This is a half log exterior cabin with knotty pine interior walls throughout. The cabin is surrounded by pine trees to give that nestled in the woods feeling while providing you with in town living. Just a few blocks away (walking distance in the summer) from Ma Deeters (a well known dining experience for this area). Trail heads are just a block away. Don't have the toys to play on the trails with?? That's ok, you can rent them from Luzerne Express just up the road. The AuSable River is only a 10 minute drive (you can also rent tubes and canoes from Luzerne Express). The Boardwalk is a great little location just a five minute drive from the cabin that gets overlooked because it is not advertised much but I highly recommend it.
**NO ANIMALS PERMITTED ON THIS PROPERTY. **
Unfortunately the minority have ruined it for everyone. I am no longer allowing animals at this site due to damages caused. Please do not ask, my answer will be no.
Inside the home you will find an entrance where you can set down your luggage, coats, boots, snowmobile gear, etc. There are two small steps (4” & 8”) to get into the main living area. There is a spacious kitchen that offers a dining table for four. The full bathroom complete with all linens is just off the kitchen. There are two bedrooms. One bedroom is located just off the kitchen has a queen sized bed. The second bedroom has a full size bed and is just off the living room. All bedding is provided and there are extra blankets available for those chilly winter nights. The living room has all leather furniture (loveseat - and a chair), a smart tv (you must enter your password for Netflix or Hulu) and electric fireplace for ambiance. Just past the living room is a small game room where you can play darts, chess or checkers. Going out through the game room you will find a screened in seating area perfect for eating outside without the bugs. There is a propane grill for use. It is not monitored for cleanliness or propane. There is one 9” step down into this space. The home has forced air heat and a wall air conditioning unit in the living room. Fans are also available for use. This home is not wheelchair accessible.
Out back is a spacious yard with a fire pit for your use (I do not offer firewood, you must seek that out or pay extra to have it there for your use). There is a cute little outhouse that is in working condition for those days your buddy (or spouse) is hogging the bathroom inside.
The garage is not available for guest use.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Traci Doran

My husband and I have been married since 2012. We have two rescue cats and a rescue dog. We have 17 chickens and each one has a name and their own personality. I love home remodeling (hubby not so much) and this was just the perfect opportunity to fix it up and give people the chance to enjoy where I grew up. I lived in Mio for 23 years of my life, moved away for several years and now I'm back. I just love the country life, so quiet and peaceful.
Why they chose this property
This cabin just makes me feel like I am away from it all. The busyness of life can just become more than we can bear at times and its great to just kick back and relax. The cabin is nestled in tall pines all around which makes you feel like you are tucked back into the woods but still close to neighbors and town. Giving you the feeling of comfort, serenity, and convenience.
What makes this property unique
The large foyer when you enter gives a great spot to drop the luggage and go out to explore immediately. The front screened in porch offers a little bit of the outside while being protected from weather and those pesky gnats. I love the knotty pine interior that just gives way to the cozy feel of the cabin. And lets not forget to give attention to the cute little outhouse out back. Feel free to use it - there is even a guest book in there.
