Quintessential Vintage Cottage For All Seasons

Escape to our Lake Huron cottage, nestled on 100 ft of pristine private sugar sand beach. Indulge in the warm ambiance of the knotty pine as you cozy up by the wood burning fireplace with a glass of wine, or gather around the outdoor fireplace on a balmy night roasting marshmallows under the starlit sky.
With a bunkhouse providing additional sleeping space, this cottage is perfect for both romantic getaways and family vacations. And, don't forget to bring your furry friend along, as we are pet friendly for well behaved dogs.
Unwind in the private hot tub, where you can soak under the twinkling stars on clear nights. Wake up to breathtaking sunrises and embark on a tour of local lighthouses during warmer months. Families will love exploring the Maritime Museum in Alpena or taking a glass-bottom boat sightseeing/shipwreck tour on the "Lady Michigan" (weather permitting) and the weekly outdoor concerts held at the Harrisville Harbor and the Oscoda Park ampler theatre.
As the seasons change, immerse yourself in the beauty of fall colors and enjoy local and charter fishing excursions. Hike to the famous Lumberman's Monument on the AuSable River or hit the Corsair Ski Trails for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. For a thrilling experience, tube, canoe or kayak down the scenic Ausable River. Satisfy your taste buds at the nearby local restaurants and breweries, offering a variety of culinary delights. Whether you seek relaxation, outdoor adventures, or astrology experiences, our cottage has it all and is fully equipped for your comfort.

Relaxing and cozy cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming cottage on the beach. What a gem and prompt communication by host. Our Labrador retriever loved the beach for swimming and chasing butterflies and the eagle resting in a nearby tree was a bonus! We loved walking the beach at sunrise and sunset - spectacular pics. A very relaxed time and will surely return!

Outdoor paradise
Our plan was to spend as much time outdoors as possible, and we were not disappointed! We spent all our time on the deck, around the fire pit, and on the beach. Our dog loved playing ball in the water and taking long walks on the lakeshore. When it rained, we enjoyed the great view of the lake from the tv room. Love this part of Michigan!

Privacy & Paradise
My wife and I stayed in this cottage with our dog. We were in town to celebrate our 20th Anniversary. Tim is a 5+ star host. The cleanliness of the cabin and surrounding area are impeccable. We spent our evenings on the deck enjoying the sounds of the waves crashing on the shoreline. We went to Rosa's Lookout Inn to celebrate our anniversary and they went above and beyond as well. We visited Sturgeon Point Lighthouse and Tawas Point Lighthouse. Both of which are within 15-20 mins of the cottage. The cottage had everything we could ask for when cooking. The cottage is tucked into the pines. The bird feeder was fun to watch with all the different birds coming & going. If you're looking at this cottage to rent, there's no question, this is the place for you.

We loved the views, access to the sandy shores of Lake Huron, and the hot tub. Our golden especially loved the water. The pictures don’t do the cottage justice. It is beautiful and a very comfortable stay. Thanks for sharing this little slice of heaven!

A Must Stay!!!
This cottage on beautiful Lake Huron is absolutely amazing! It has everything you need to enjoy a fabulous time at the beach - which is conveniently located just outside your door. One of my absolute favorite times of this trip was sitting on the enormous deck with a cup of coffee, looking out at my favorite lake! The amenities in this cottage are spot on and we felt at home from the moment we walked in. And there is something for EVERYONE!!! Owners were great - attentive but giving total privacy. Definite 5 stars!!!

Michigan at its best!
This one bedroom cabin has all you need for a weekend or week long stay. The king bed is comfortable and spacious. There is also a pull out sofa in one of the living rooms that offers privacy for an additional couple and a bunk house. Firewood is provided and the beach area is pristine and quiet. We (40ish couple with dogs) thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already booked for next summer.

We keep returning to this cottage because it has everything we need to make our vacation great. It is close to town, golf courses and shopping. The house is always clean and well stocked with towels, blankets, and kitchen supplies. The beach is beautiful and private. We will keep coming back. If only it had another bedroom………..

Great rustic cabin on the beach
We all had a great stay. My dogs loved the lake and my son had a fun time flying his kite on the beach. Definitely would stay here again. It's very convenient to go into Oscoda for shopping.

Relaxing and very close to Lake Huron
The pictures are accurate. This property is very close to a sandy, clean beach and Lake Huron. There are houses on each side, but you cannot see the one because there are woods and the other you can see a bit, but everything is quiet and you feel like you have the beach and lake to yourself! Amazing. The cottage was clean and charming.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is quiet, the lake was beautiful, the furniture and the King bed were comfortable. The patio was so nice to sit and enjoy the lake. Hubby loved the hot tub although he struggled with the settings a bit. The amount of towels available was amazing. We hope to return!

Great second stay!
Very much enjoyed our second stay at Tim's place! Our second stay was different in that we actually left the house a couple times this visit! The house is so cozy in the winter that you really only want to leave to walk on the beach or grab a log for the fire. This time we enjoyed takeout from Red Fork (salad and a pizza-- quite good) and dinner at Huron Out Pub (Honky tonk night! Great meal and service in the bar.). Tim's place remains great and we'd love to visit again in the future.
