Mio Smith Lake Hotels

"If you do not understand “rustic” this is NOT the place for you. If you MUST have complete privacy (no doors on either bedroom) this is probably not the place for you. If you grew up camping in the 70’s and you miss it but your body has had enough of the cold hard ground - THIS is what you need! The doors and door handles take me back to visiting Great Grandma. The absolute charm of a northern cabin! Yet he has modernized the bathroom to the point of never wanting to leave. The hosts attention to small details- York peppermint patties on the bed stands, bag of treats on the top shelf with a box of toys on the floor for our dog, towels folded so you feel like you’re in a 5star hotel, 1/2 dozen farm fresh eggs and bottles of water in the fridge, the homemade brownies made up for the fact that the promised campfire was rained out. Jonathan should be very proud of all the updates he has made thus far!Icing on the cake- his knowledge of the area - where to fish, where to hike, good places to eat etc! We will be looking for this place when we’re in the area again!"

"We stayed here in the cabin for a week 8/10-8/17.We always look to book a summer vacation away north of where we live, typically in a campground, but wanted to try something different this time and we came across Mark and Dawn’s beautiful property. This gives you the exact vibes of what camping feels like with extra amenities—we were able to try new things—float down the Au-Sable, go to an Amish bakery, visit one of our favorites Higgins Lake, and many other things on our visit!If you’re looking for a nice and peaceful piece of tranquility of a vacation you will not be disappointed. We had everything we needed on our trip—Mark and Dawn were very responsive and even gave some suggestions on local things to check out which was super appreciated since we were out of towners.Thank you again!!

"We love this place it's quiet and out of the way. We used to bring our kids up there since they were babies and now my baby is 40 years old LOL. And as long as they will have us we will keep coming up there"
