About this cabin rental

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.

Cabin just as described, small, and quiet. We enjoyed the small fireplace while having a nice drink. Will stay again if ever in the area!

The cabin's in a good location for getting out on the AuSable or exploring the area. As others mentioned, it's not really in the woods, but tucked into a heavily wooded area with a bunch of other homes/cabins, sort of a cottage area feel. That said, the neighborhood is off the beaten path and fairly quiet, even during the daytime hours, but especially at night. The cabin itself is cozy, enough space for two or three if using the futon. The bathroom is larger than it looks, but note that the interior walls don't go all the way to the ceilings (including the bathrm), so "privacy" is a little less so. :-)The kitchen had enough stuff to suffice, and all the essentials were well-stocked. The parking was not as cramped as others have suggested, it's sort of a circle drive. If you have multiple vehicles (we had a full-size pickup and SUV), you may just need to shuffle spots if you don't want to back out of a rather snug entrance. Not a biggie at all.Our host Beth was great and very responsive. A pleasant stay all around.

The cabin and location was quiet and surrounded by tall trees that provide lots of shade. The screen porch is wonderful and you are close to the AuSable river and town of Mio. The parking is tight depending on the size vehicle you have.

Check in was effortless. Kitchen was not very well equipped, but we were only there for 3 nights, so we managed. The bed was quite uncomfortable, the mattress had way outlived it’s lifespan. That was our biggest problem. And prior guests must have had a dog, because there was tufts of dog fur everywhere. It was rustic, which we liked, but I think some upgrades should be done.
