Up North Getaways

Rollway Resort guests have enjoyed nature’s healing powers for well over half a century. Some come to absorb the forest’s serenity with a stay in our cabins. Some arrive seeking adventure. Others take advantage of our Northern Michigan vacation rentals for enjoying the water. You can rent a pontoon or row boat from Rollway to enjoy the Au Sable River for a day or the entire week. We deliver your craft to your waterside location and pick it up at the end of your rental period.

We also provide pontoon rentals on some 60 area lakes. Rollway delivers within a 30 mile radius of our resort which includes the Hale, Sand Lake, and Glennie areas. Popular delivery and pickup spots cover Loon Lake, Long Lake, Round Lake, Henderson Lake… and the Au Sable River where you can meet your craft at Saw Mill Point, Cooke Dam, 5 Channel Dam, and Footsite.

About Our
Au Sable River Resort

Our River

The AuSable River flows easterly through the Huron National Forest, emptying into Lake Huron. Rollway Resort sits between Alcona Dam and Loud Dam about 30 minutes west of Oscoda where the river merges with the big lake. The forest and riverside remains totally unspoiled through this section. Fall colors offer breathtaking scenery; quite the pontoon or rowboat experience. And the fish… Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Walleye, Pike and Bass abound. You’ll find some of the best fishing around at Rollway Resort.

The Forest

The Huron National Forest is amazing and immense. It’s 415, 000 acres gives you plenty of room to roam and discover all the wildlife native to Northern Michigan. It contains a 220 mile shore-to-shore trail that crosses the state, stretching from Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. This makes the area ideal for hiking, skiing, horseback riding, snowmobiling, and hunting. Or just plain relaxing – it’s the perfect place for absorbing some serenity.

Lodging

Cabins

Hang your hat, stow your gear, and relax. Rollway Resort’s rustic cabins offer you a great place to stay really close to the river. Kick back, hit the trails, snag a few fish, grill up dinner, and unwind around a fire under the stars. Quality family time; good times with friends… that’s what Up North is all about!

Hunters

Our Northern Michigan vacation rentals aren’t just for summer fun. We are open through bow and rifle deer seasons. You’ll be right where the action is staying at our Au Sable River resort. The national forest is home to thousands of white tail deer, plenty of bucks and does whose diet is largely natural vegetation.

Hunting ducks, rabbits, squirrel, or some other wildlife? Rollway is popular with hunters of all sorts. The forest is well-stocked with whatever’s in season. And the ORV trail conveniently runs right through our resort. Your 4-wheelers are welcome.

Fishermen

Welcome to lodging close to some of the best fly fishing action for trout in Michigan.

Available May – November
