About

Nestled in the scenic Huron National Forest, our rustic Au Sable River cabin rentals offer a peaceful place to stay, no matter what you like to do. At Rollway Resort, you’ve got easy access to great fishing, exploring, hiking, and hundreds of miles of ORV trails. Surrounded by thousands of acres of untouched nature, its a great spot for bird watching and wildlife spotting. In season, the forest is popular for mushroom gathering, hunting, and simply relaxing. The area also offers antiquing, summer events, sightseeing, and we’re not that far from Lake Huron’s shoreline. We also offer pontoon rentals.

Our cabins feature a full kitchen equipped with stove, fridge, freezer, cooking utensils, coffee pot, microwave, and a toaster. They have full baths with fresh linens on hand. You can eat inside or outdoors – the cabin area has picnic tables and charcoal grills for our guests to enjoy. And you wouldn’t be up north without a fire. Each cabin has a fireplace or wood stove and a fire pit for campfires.

Rollway’s cabins can accommodate up to 12 people – plenty of room for a family or group. There’s a bait shop and party store nearby – convenient for a steady supply of cold drinks and fresh worms. Check in at 2 pm; check out by 11 am.
