Nestled just 15 feet from the AuSable River in Lovells, near Grayling, Michigan, our two-bedroom cabin offers a unique blend of history and nature. Built in 1951, it retains its original log construction, reflecting the authentic aesthetic of its era. The cabin features two full beds, a cozy living area, a bathroom with a shower, and a covered porch overlooking the river.

With direct river access, guests can enjoy trout fishing and various water activities. In the evenings, gather around our riverside campfire or utilize the charcoal grills conveniently located near each cabin. Situated in the heart of Lovells, the cabin is within walking distance of local amenities such as the Lovells Riverside Tavern and Caid's Gas Station and Market.

Unique Features

The area is rich in history; the nearby bridge between the tavern and the cabins once served as a railway bridge for logging trains, and these cabins originally housed logging workers during their stays. For those interested in local history, the Lovells Museum of Trout Fishing History offers insights into the area's fishing heritage.

Experience the unique blend of history and nature that Lovells offers by staying at our riverside cabin. To avoid additional fees from third-party booking platforms, we encourage you to send an inquiry and book directly with us.
