This 125-year-old church has been simply and comfortably renovated into a unique country getaway and has a large yard with shady apple and pine trees. This space is uniquely located in a documented Michigan ghost town, which was once known as a productive lumbering town until the early 1900's when the local post office finally closed due to the dramatic decrease in population once lumbering interests were exhausted. The Old Country Church is one of the last 4 remaining original buildings in this ghost town. It was built from the lumber which was milled right here in this area in the 1800s. Slight blade marks can still be seen on some of the boards of the newly restored and refinished original hardwood floors. Curiously, Fifth and Sixth Street (which still host street signs) mark roads that gently lead to nowhere and fade away into fields of forgotten memories. It is on one of those streets that the Old Country Church is located, there on the left-behind corner of Sixth and Main. The kitchen, located on the former "altar" area, is equipped with a stainless steel stove and refrigerator. It has new appliances, a Kitchen-aide mixer, microwave, quality pots, and pans, matching dish wear, bake wear, coffee maker, teapot, toaster, blender, matching cutlery, and a variety of utensils for a complete kitchen. The living room has comfortable brand new couches and a bookshelf with a variety of titles for your reading pleasure. There is also a smart TV, and ROKU. Cozy, modest shared bedrooms, with high-quality bedding, each accommodates 2 guests and are as described below: - Shared Master Bedroom (shared) has 2 twin beds with comfortable quality mattress and bedding, 2 large dressers, and a closet. Spacious under the bed storage. - 2nd Shared Bedroom has two twin beds and a large bureau (see the update note in the next paragraph).

Because the Old Country Church is nestled near thousands of acres of National Forest land, the surrounding countryside is burgeoning with wildlife. Guests enjoy bird sightings that include Sandhill cranes, wild turkeys, geese, hawks, owls, and Bald Eagles - just to name a few. Herds of deer can be seen both near and far away. At night, the spectacular and nearly unobstructed views of northern and western skies resemble a dark sky park, and it is not uncommon to see the northern lights. Coyotes are also frequently heard howling at night in the distance, and that becomes the perfect time for telling stories outdoors around the fire ring! Enjoy the use of the large fire ring with a grill top which allows you to build a fire and grill to perfection. Grilling utensils provided. Wood is provided daily and included in your stay. Extra wood is available to purchase. A picnic table and yard furniture are also available for you to relax with and enjoy. There is parking for up to 6 guest vehicles and plenty of space for guests to park fishing boats, snowmobiles, or ATVs. Again, parking is a paying-guest-only amenity. Motor home parking can be available (self-contained only, separate extra fee required, please contact me for more information). Beautifully scenic and paved country roads invite you to walk the "4-mile square", or ride your bike even further. This is a country getaway at its best, far away from traffic, city lights, and urban hustle! The pace is slow and uncomplicated here. The Old Country Church is located just a few miles from Huron National Forest, and 10 miles from the city of Harrisville, Lake Huron, Harrisville State Park, and beautiful Harrisville Harbor. There are many outdoor activities within a short ride - swimming, boating, hunting, hiking, Michigan's very first Quilt Trail, seasonal Farmers Markets, bird-watching (the habitat of the rare Kirkland Warbler is located only about 45 minutes away!), biking, apple picking, antiquing, or a visit to Amish country - just to name a few. And, on Labor Day weekend, the city of Harrisville hosts the 2nd largest craft show in the state of Michigan! While you are here, don't forget to visit Iargo Springs, and Lumbermen's Monument, located in Oscoda, Michigan. It is definitely worth the drive to get there! I also highly recommend that you check out Oscoda Canoe Rental, and take a canoe, kayak, or tubing trip down the AuSable River. They are a great company, and it is an amazing experience that you and your family are sure to enjoy. I personally make time to take my family "tubing" several times a month during the summer. Other nice nearby towns (within about 10 to 45 minutes or less) include Lincoln, Alpena, Oscoda, Hubbard Lake, Tawas, Mio, and Glennie. INTERNET WiFi internet connection (approximately 250 Mpbs download/upload) is available through Frontier Communications - speed may vary. Cell phone service through Verizon works fairly well here, and guests have told me that Alltel service works well in this area too, but I do not have personal experience with that company. Guests have access to the entire living space. The first-floor entry room is also available for use for coats, footwear, and luggage. We want you to be comfortable and to enjoy your stay. If you need assistance with anything, please let me know. Most of the time, there is someone available to visit with you personally - I live right nearby as do several members of my family who live near the Old Country Church - so, we are always in sight! Also, you will have my phone number when you book this space so please call me directly if you have any questions. Please note, there are neighbors nearby, at the end of Sixth St. This is a rural area. Walking and bicycling on country roads is a favorite pastime, and the surrounding roads are mostly paved. We are located about 10 miles west of Lake Huron and the charming little city of downtown Harrisville. Oscoda is located approximately 25 minutes south, and Alpena is located approximately 40 minutes north. Huron National Forest is just a few miles away.
