  Jodie was an awesome host. Always responded in a timely manner. Her place is right on the riverwith a canoe livery right next door! We loved tubing on the Manistee River. Would definitely recommend.

  Loved the cabin! Beautiful spot right on the right, right next to a canoe livery. Close to town, about a 10-minute drive. Very, very clean.

  If you’re looking for a place to stay for your float trip down the Manistee river, look no further. We had a wonderful time staying at Jodie’s place. It is cute and cozy with a great view! Even with it sharing a parking lot with the livery, it was still very peaceful. Jodie is a very responsive host and super friendly. Nothing but great things to say about this adorable little place. Thanks again!

  Jodie was an amazing host, and we had a great time staying at her place. The cabin was so adorable and clean! Our family loved the river access and multiple fire pits. We also took advantage of the canoe/kayak/tube rental place next door and enjoyed kayaking down the river. Downtown Grayling was an 8 minute drive, and there were cute shops, parks, and restaurants to visit there as well. Overall, we had a fabulous time and loved Jodie as well as her place. She is definitely on her way to becoming a super host, and we feel so lucky that we found this amazing place to stay!

  We had a wonderful weekend in Grayling! The property was beautiful and there were nearby stores and restaurants for convenience. The inside of the cabin was spotless and also gorgeously decorated. We utilized the kayak rental next store and it was a great experience as well! The river is so peaceful and beautiful. Will definitely come back if we can.
