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 retro 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 Cabin is an Adult Only Rental. We welcome 2 night minimum stays, weekly rentals and 3 night minimum stays on Holiday weekends.

* One of our main goals is to keep guests costs at a minimum. We do not charge a cleaning fee and you will not see a " Host Fee" when you finalize your booking. For everyone's convenience fiberoptic wifi is available. We are located in a River Valley so cell signals can vary. There is a Verizon Cell tower in our Village of Luzerne. We provide an up to date T.V. and D.V.D. player so bring your favorite movies and connectivity devices along. The T.V. does bring in some local channels.

Winter months require a 4 Wheel or All Wheel Drive Vehicle to maneuver our driveway.

We were given a front row view to the first snow of the year in a breathtaking setting. This cabin had everything we needed and was so cozy as we watched snow falling. The birds visiting the feeder throughout the day were so active! We can't wait to go back for a trip this summer!

Home away from home

We love it here, always very peaceful. It's the perfect place to relax and unplug!

First off let may say that the host Nick was a really good guy, though we never met I spoke with him multiple times about hunting in the area he was always quick to respond and was a great help. The property is beautiful and the cabin is in excellent condition. I highly recommend. Thanks Nick!

The host was very thoughtful and you can really tell they care about their property. We were welcomed by the host and given a detailed list of things to go check out in the area, which was really helpful for us. My husband and I wanted a quiet, relaxing weekend away from our busy lives and here we got exactly that. When you step out of your car you can hear rushing water and immediately feel at peace with the serene landscape that is just outside the windows of this cozy cabin. A bird feeder is re-filled each day and provides endless bird watching entertainment. Pileated woodpeckers and TURKEYS came to have a snack multiple times during our visit! The cabin itself was very comfortable and clean, it had everything you needed and nothing you didn't. We will definitely be back.

Turkeys a daily visitor to the cabin's bird feeder.

Sometimes you just need to disconnect from a busy lifestyle and this is the perfect place to stay!!

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.
