Amazing rooms with clean, comfortable beds, each with their own full bath. A few yards from the river or a block from downtown, it just doesn't get better than this. We loved the staff, and it's always comfortable just hanging out around the property. Definitely a family favorite of ours and we would recommend this for anyone looking to stay near Grayling.

Been coming here for 3 years now, and the new owners are absolutely fantastic. The rooms are very…read moreclean and comfortable. Owners are very hospitable and helpful and kind. My family and I have also gone kayaking a few times while there, and the kayaks are all in great shape, the routes are well marked (I know they dealt with a lot of fallen trees this year but it's all been cleaned up). But, the kayaking from this location is the best IMO. Every other guest I've met here is also super nice and affable, so they seem to attract great people to stay here. I look forward to coming back here annually for years to come. Thank you for making Grayling even more special.

There's a cute little logging museum along the way. I loved the beautiful juxtaposition of the fall leaves with the pines and hemlocks. The path is fully paved, and a nice walk for a quick stop along I75 between Ann Arbor and up north. I'd love to go back there.

Came here after I found my usual camping choice here, the Au Sable Loop, full. Not as convenient…read morefor fishing the Au Sable below the dam, which is my main draw here, but it served its purpose. Sites are very private, all surrounded by tall trees and very brushed in. Even at high noon I still had lots of shade. All looked more or less level, though the ground was a little hard and gravelly. Not many people there when I arrived on Thursday afternoon, but it was about half full by Saturday morning. Water from the pump was quite rusty (see photo) and I advise bringing drinking water. Highway M-33 isn't far away and there was a bit of noise from that for most of the day, as well as what sounded like a construction project underway in the neighborhood. But, you also hear loons calling on the pond at night, which is a compensation. There is a boat lauch to Mio Pond a short distance from the campsites. Wouldn't mind going back, just prefer being a little further out of town.

I love nature but I don't like roughing it ;) I loved the chalet it was the perfect place to be at one with nature and have all the comforts of home!!! It's very secluded which I loved you feel like you are a million miles away from the crazy city but yet you are just a few minutes away from the grocery store and town for anything you might need. We also found an amazing place between Sara's house and the cottage where we got fresh brown eggs and homemade jelly yum we will definitely go back there next time. The chalet is overlooking a beautiful lake and is surrounded by the most majestic view. It also has a nice place for a camp fire and also a BBQ grill so you can cook there plus a fully stocked kitchen with stove, microwave, plates, glasses, utensils, etc. and a dishwasher so no washing stuff by hand. It was nice to be able to not have to go out to eat we had everything we could have needed and more!! My parents stopped by to visit and my mom fell in love with the beautiful decorations throughout the chalet it had that personal touch to everything. They could not believe how amazing it was there we all agreed it wasn't just a cabin it was a home and a beautiful one! We have tried a bunch of other places nearby but they were so dirty and musty and that's being polite!! You won't find that at the Detweiler Chalets it's more like staying at a friends house or cabin it's beyond words!!! My husband and I can't wait to go back we were so sad to leave it really is a piece of heaven! I'm kinda high maintenance as my hubby would say I'm a five star hotel and room service kind of girl but I was so relaxed and content that I didn't have a care in the world while we were there!! Thank you again for everything!! Hope to see you again real soon!!! One more thing for those of you campers who still like to occasionally have there TV & Wifi like I do, you will be happy to know there is a huge flat screen Tv with dish network and wireless internet so if it's raining outside you can curl up inside and watch a movie by the fireplace ;)

Dan & Lindsey Schneider now run Hinchman Acres. The customer service they provided was top notch. They have gone way out of their way to make my family stay up here exceptional!

If you ever want to canoe/kayak one of the most beautiful rivers in the world- stay at Hinchman Acres in Mio Michigan!!
