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.

Green Cabin

This is the third time we stayed at this cabin. We love it!! The owners are great to work with. Cabin is clean and well taken care of. The creek that runs through the back yard is very relaxing to listen to. We had daily visits by many turkeys and a Pileated Woodpecker. We will definitely be back.

Quiet anniversary getaway!

We were looking for a quiet space to enjoy our anniversary and thought we would give this cabin a try. The communication with the owner was outstanding and everything about the property was excellent. We loved sitting by the river reading and we had all our meals in the screened in porch. Outside of one dinner out, we stayed at the cabin the entire time. It was exactly what we were looking for!

Checked All The Boxes

Hosts went out of their way to make the cabin very welcoming. Very Clean! Bathroom clean and just the right amount of space. Furniture was extremely comfortable. Take a few minutes to sit by the creek. Watch the one black squirrel of all the squirrels defeat the squirrel deflector on the bird feeder. Since we were there during the Olympics we gave him the Gold for his acrobatic skills to swing up and grab the suet cage! Many species of birds including a turkey walking through the yard with her brood.

Relaxing

This cabin was in a very secluded area but easy to navigate to. The back yard was right on Big Creek which was shallow and had a relaxing babbling sound all day and night. Large windows and screened porch was excellent for morning coffee.
