About this property
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.

Excellent little cabin!! Super clean and lovely, hosts are awesome! Will be coming back for many trips and stays here! Great location for fishing and hiking, my dog was in heaven. Thank you!!!!
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.
Great time because everything was perfect for us. Cozy cabin that you just disconnect with the wood stove...Or plug in and watch a movie...We'll be back!
Great communication from start to finish. We did a river trip and visited family near by.
This is”Glamping” well done. Very clean cabin, 5 star for sure on cleanliness.
Rental rate is well priced. Peaceful and everything you need for Glamping! Pack your food and beverages, grab some wood and you are all set!!
my family loved it and my grandmother said the bed was so comfy and my mom and aunt said they whish they we not so busy so they could sat out side more and we will daffily stay again if ever needed
It worked for what I needed at the time but it’s not secluded, it’s in the middle of what looks like a residential area. The cabin was nice for just myself and quiet.
Very happy with our stay.. place was clean and had everything we needed including a coffee pot.. tyvm. Bed was comfortable and the shower was hot with good pressure. Nice quiet neighborhood and tho the cabin was in a residential area it was very wooded and secluded. Cabin can be a little tricky to get to.. make sure you follow her instructions and not the gps. The real Gem of this place was the outdoor screen room.. good size.. has a small hibachi propane grill and a picnic table. (also a bigger grill outside) Spent some time each night out there enjoying the night sounds bug free.. Our stay was very nice and peaceful.. would def recommend and will be coming back. Also.. saw indigo buntings, eagles, a barred owl and many other birds. We saw a bear on one of the fire roads and many deer.. love this area.
My husband and I were there for a quick stay, quicker than we had planned on because my husband came down with a bad cold. We had a tiny bit of trouble finding the place - mostly because we could not see any street signs or the road as it was covered with falling leaves!! Beautiful area and we had detailed directions from the host.
Because my husband was ill I opted to sleep on the futon/couch. I'm sad to say it just was not comfortable. The bed must have been as my husband slept well.
We did not cook in the cabin and the freezer needed a good defrost. If we had stayed longer we would have enjoyed a meal or two outside in the screened in patio, it was very inviting! We also did not take advantage of the areas the host had suggested. We stumbled onto one bakery on our way into the cabin, it was very good!!
We had just come from a wedding in Chicago and had spent three nights in a luxury hotel - we were a bit spoiled!
Super cute! Loved the tiny cabin feel, the leaves and property were so cute. Had to sweep all of the left over dog hair up from previous guests, but we love dogs, so it wasn’t a bother. Can’t wait to stay agin :)
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!
