No place more beautiful than Lake Huron
This cottage was prefect for us . Two minute walk to the beach . Super quiet neighborhood . Unfortunately we had to go inside one night due to the overwhelming odor coming from the town lagoon . Otherwise a wonderful place to stay . Don`t let the size of the cottage in photos fool you . It is very clean and roomy inside . Thank you Ken

Beautiful Lake Huron
The property was great. Property was clean, utensils not so much. The listing says 100 steps to the beach, it’s over triple that. Beach was beautiful though, once you climb down to it. Bed was very comfortable, cool at night, excellent for sleeping. We would go back again!
