We had a very relaxing visit. The house is well laid out, clean and cute. The deck and steps are very well maintained. The steps are nice and wide with good rails. We never got around to using the hot tub but it looked very clean. The view is gorgeous and so enjoyed setting on the deck. Exploring the town of Mio was fun and had everything we needed. Mio Pizza makes a very good pizza. We also found the county park to be interesting. We saw eagles, rabbits, various birds,and chipmunks which, of course, the dogs liked to watch. Thanks so much for a nice vacation.

Right on the water for fishing and boating. Kayaks, small fishing boat and paddle boat provided. Great fishing. Close to downtown Mio to go shopping and out to eat. Close to the river to go rafting.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication
The host communication was good. The views were amazing. The top floor is great the deck levels are great. The younger adults we had with us loved the hot tub & they enjoyed it every night we were there. I myself was not happy with all the large spiders hanging above the area (my head) so I was not in it long. The neighborhood was quiet & very relaxing. However, the rest is not as advertised. We were unable to access the water for swimming or using the boats. There is no ladder into the river off the dock & the small low elevated area next to the dock is not usable to get in & out of the water. The water itself was not cleared out for swimming (literal trash in the bottom of the water & natural plant life). The dock was good for FISHING & SUNBATHING ONLY! I grew up at a lake & was use to at the beginning of every summer cleaning out the weeds & trash in order to swim for the summer but this was next level. The basement floor we had the younger adults sleep there & they were not very happy with how cold it was, the spiders were more than they cared for & it was VERY loud (they complained that even though we were tiptoeing in the mornings as not to wake them they could hear every footstep as if we were in their room). The washer & dryer doesn't work & according to their guest book it hasn't for months (we had a new born with us & that was one of the selling points for us to stay there). We found dirty laundry under the furniture that was NOT ours. Over5hr trip & not impressed.

Really amazing location on what is effectively a lake because of the dam a couple miles down river. We arrived on a Monday and didn't see another person on the water the whole day, though Tuesday and Wednesday saw a little boat traffic. The paddle boat was defunct as far as we could tell, but there were two kayaks, which we prefer. The hot tub is nice, with a string of lights to plug in in the evening and a great view of the lake. We enjoyed Mio and made use of the Hinchman Acres boat rental to take an 11 mile trip (the shortest they offer!) down the Au Sable, but we enjoyed our time paddling around the "pond" just as much.
