About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Quiet, Simple, and Surrounded by Trees Au Sable Backwaters Mio

Tucked among a cluster of old storybook cabins, our little place in the woods offers a simple, back-to-basics kind of stay. No frills, no fuss just the essentials and a quiet invitation to slow down.

This area of Northern Michigan has a character all its own. You’ll find tall pines, friendly waves from neighbors, and a refreshing sense that folks here live by their own rhythm.

The cabin is modest with a screened in patio made for sitting with a strong cup of coffee or something stronger. Nature is ever-present: birds, wind in the trees, and the occasional ATV. Just down the road, the Au Sable River offers world-class fishing, peaceful floats, and trails for hiking and biking. Nearby towns offer a glimpse into a culture that’s equal parts practical, proud, and unhurried.

This isn’t a luxury escape, it’s a real place, with a whole lot of heart. If you’re looking to reconnect with nature, unplug, and appreciate the charm of simpler things, you might feel right at home here.
The cabin features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom.

This cabin was so adorable! We only stayed for a night as a pit stop to our next destination but it was pet friendly and super comfortable. I loved the cute lighting all over it made it like a childhood dream fort. Playing cards in the screened in porch was a blast too! The hosts and the place was just great would go back again!

Cozy Cabin!

This cabin is a great destination for a relaxing and rustic weekend away! It was very cozy and we were pleased to find out that there was not only a wood burning stove but also a heater in the cabin. We had everything we needed for a weekend stay, however I would advise bringing your own water.
