The Hideout - Cute, Peaceful, and Dog-Friendly Rustic Cabin on Au Sable River

Want to really get away from it all? You found the place! The Hideout is a cute and peaceful rustic cabin on the Au Sable River outside of Oscoda. It's a studio cabin with 2 beds, a full bathroom, and sleeps 4 adults. It is located in the woods with a trail in the backyard that leads to the river. The backyard comes with a picnic table, charcoal grill, and a fire pit. Dog-friendly as well! Perfect for hiking, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, cross-country skiing and exploring nature!


GUEST INTERACTION:

We have a local property manager that lives in the area and is available to answer any question and address any issues.


NEIGHBORHOOD:

The cabin is fairly isolated and there are few neighbors in the area. It is pretty deeply buried in a beautiful forest environment with lots of trees and the river nearby. It's truly a great place to get away to nature and the area is great for outdoor sports of all kinds, including hiking, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and cross-country skiing.

The nearby town of Oscoda is a cute little northern MIchigan town with a good supply of shops, bars, restaurants, and coffee shops. It is also on Lake Huron and has some lovely beaches for swimming and sun bathing.


GUEST ACCESS:

Guests have access to the entire property, except for the detached garage, which is locked and used for owner storage.


THE SPACE:

The cabin is pure Northern Michigan in style with a cute, woodsy, and rustic, but very comfortable, interior.



TRANSIT:

It is highly recommended that guests have their own vehicle.

3) PETS: Up to 3 dogs are permitted. Pets other than dogs are prohibited. Please include dogs on the reservation so that the pet is correctly paid.

We truly were impressed with this cabin and location. It was a very relaxing time in the woods. We were alittle concerned with the road being so close, but it really didn't seem to be an issue (very minimal traffic). We had all-day campfires, hiking the trails and enjoying the river views right out behind the cabin. We even helped the future guests and cleaned up the yard and the trail/ added branches to the edges. We will be back again!
Loved that the trail and river were right behind the cabin.
We enjoyed helping to clean up the trail

This is our second year staying at this cabin, this year being our honeymoon, and we couldn’t say enough good things about this place! If you like swimming, hiking, fishing, rock hunting or anything else outdoorsy, you’ll love this location! Such a cute cabin with the coolest history. We love having no service and just being able to take all the nature and beauty in. This year our car broke down the last day and the management was so understanding of our situation. I would recommend this place to anyone (as long as they don’t want it the same weekend we do! lol) thank you again for such a wonderful stay. We can’t wait for next year!
