Thank you for your interest in one of my homes. 15 years ago, we vacationed Bokeelia, Florida and started my Airbnb adventures. Last year, we were able to purchase this beautiful home for the Quarterdeck Properties with the AuSable River location in Grayling, Mi! A true slice of paradise on the river! Come visit one of my three locations and experience true paradises.
