Grayling House | Red Dog Lodge - Beautiful Riverfront Chalet - Sportsperson's Paradise

3 Bedroom House in Grayling

Welcome to the Red Dog Lodge!
Situated in the heart of Lovells, Red Dog is truly a sportsperson's dream with endless opportunities within reach.
This clean and well maintained 1997 chalet sits on over 200' of frontage on the North Branch of the AuSable river and features a nice yard with a gentle slope down to the river. The home contains three bedrooms with ample sleeping capacity along with two full baths, new washer and dryer, and an open concept kitchen, dining, and living area. Includes air conditioning and all of the kitchen appliances and utensils you likely have at home along with cozy and welcoming northern Michigan décor throughout. There is a large, new deck facing the river with a propane grill for your enjoyment. High-speed cable internet allows you to stay "plugged in" and enables Netflix/Prime/YouTubeTV/other streaming apps on the smart tv.
Whether the objective is to fly fish the historic North Branch or nearby Main/South Branches of the AuSable, fish nearby lakes, recreate on the river, golf, access hundreds of miles of ATV/Snowmobile trails, grouse/small game/deer hunt on thousands of acres of nearby state and federal land, hike, bike, or simply to relax in beautiful northern Michigan, Red Dog is an ideal base camp.
When you fish in the immediate vicinity, you are fishing in the footsteps of legends: Ernest Hemingway, Henry and Edsel Ford, Thomas Edison, John and Horace Dodge, Charles Nash, Harvey Firestone, and the list goes on. In fact, there is a large and elusive brown trout in this vicinity that has been named "Ernest" for obvious reasons. ***NOTE*** this section of the North Branch is artificial flies only (extends from Sheep Ranch upstream all the way down to the confluence with the main branch of the AuSable). While there are harvest opportunities with appropriately sized fish, catch and release fishing is strongly encouraged.
Within walking distance to:
-Additional access to the North Branch
-North Branch Outing Club (historic lodge with available fly fishing guides and full service fly shop for all of your fishing needs)
-Lovells Museum of Trout Fishing History
-Douglas Park/children's playground
-The Lovells home center (outstanding homemade sticky buns, cinnamon rolls, brownies, pizzas and more)
-Lovells Riverside Tavern (food, riverside ambiance, spirits)
-Main Snowmobile Trail (47)
Short Drives:
5 minutes to Shupac Lake (fishing, beach, swimming, boating - electric motor only)
7 minutes to KP Lake (fishing, swimming, boating - electric motor only)
10 minutes to Hartwick Pines
15 minutes to Lewiston
20 minutes to Grayling

And if you were wondering, "Red Dog" is an homage to our beloved Golden Retriever named Bella.
