A pleasant wilderness retreat awaits you and yours at this comfortable lake access Mio home! Under the sun, get your boat or jet skis on the water via the public boat launch. Kayaks are also available during your stay if you'd prefer to take a more peaceful glide. When you want to explore the area's park and trail systems, don your hiking shoes and indulge in possible rare bird-watching opportunities. There is no lack of fishing or hunting opportunities in the area as well. Right at your stay, you'll have access to a horseshoe pit and a gas grill, the perfect combination for afternoon hangouts with your loved ones.

When a break from the sun is warranted, head inside the centrally air-conditioned interior. With its open-concept layout and charming rustic mementos, you'll have no trouble getting comfortable quickly. The living room boasts an oversized sofa and a large smart TV - perfect for movie nights. The adjacent well-equipped kitchen features a full suite of stainless steel appliances and all of the cookware you'll need. When it's time to eat, there is both a breakfast bar and a wooden dining table.

As evening nears, throw your adventure garb in the private washer/dryer for a refresh and tuck under the bedroom's soft linens.

My O Mio!

A great place for adults, families & hunters! Close to trails for ORV/SxS and looks great for deer hunting - check out the buck pole next to the house! Good for walking around the lake - quiet and not much traffic. Yard is big enough for kids to run around and spend time on the play equipment. Easy access and plenty of room for trailers.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very disappointed. No paper towels. Flies. Live and dead all over. The kitchen counter, fridge and microwave were dirty. Property was not safe. Rotted out entry and no step or back porch without warning. The front porch had broken wood. I know it was pet friendly, but definitely had a wet dog odor. We left it much cleaner than how we found it. Would never recommend or stay here again.
