Oscoda area - relax and enjoy family time on a Lake Huron sugar sand beach

Lift your head off your pillow in the master bedroom to watch the sun rise over Lake Huron, then snooze a bit more or head down to the beach for an early morning beach walk or kayak on a flat surfaced Lake Huron. Kids can either sleep close in bunk beds in the master bedroom or in twin beds in a separate bedroom (4 twin beds in all). A back room has another full size bed for a happy couple such that the cottage can handle 4 adults and at least as many kids. A full kitchen and laundry area complement the home. As the day advances and the breeze picks up, sail in a sunfish or windsurf from the beach or head a few miles south to Oscoda for a float trip in canoes, kayaks, or tubes along the AuSable River. Or take a bike ride around Cedar Lake or just lie on the beach and enjoy the sun. As the day comes to an end, mix up some margaritas and grill up a feast (or order pizza) and watch the amazing sunset colors develop over Lake Huron. As the sun sets, start a fire on the upper beach, make s'mores, sing some songs, or tell ghost stories while watching shooting stars and satellites overhead.

Also a great escape in the winter to a cozy cottage with a fireplace, a table for jigsaw puzzling, or a nice couch for reading (or snoozing) - both with great views of Lake Huron! Adventure outside for walks along the frozen beach with ice flows extending varying distances into the lake. Nearby you can also find several groomed X-country ski trails. Return to the cottage to warm up by a fire with hot chocolate or some soup and then enjoy games with the family or movies on the big screen with a LCD projector.

Although we encourage you to turn off your connections to the outside world - there is high speed wifi internet service at the cottage. Cell phone service varies with carrier (all can be found a few miles away in Oscoda) - you've come to the cottage to relax and reconnect with family and loved ones - not be connected to the world!

Incredible beach location directly on Lake Huron
The location of this cabin is perfection, close to town and amenities yet very private lot and directly on the water. The sugar sand beach is not rocky at all and truly lovely. I wish the cabin had been cleaner and the 2nd bathroom operational but overall we enjoyed our stay.

What a Fabulous Place!
We rented this cottage for a week in August of 2013. The cottage is right on the beach which made for convenient access back and forth especially since we had our new baby with us. The cottage is only 2.5 hours away from Mackinaw City and it was a perfect day trip to the island for our family. The cottage was clean and spacious. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing week at the beach!

Beautiful Location!
The location of this property is perfect. The beach is private and beautiful, the outside of the cottage is well taken care of and a lovely place to sit and soak in summer. The cottage itself is a little tired and could use some TLC. That being said, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen had plenty of everything you might need. The “ultra water filter” in the kitchen is a real plus. Communication with the owner is excellent.

Fun and relaxing
We had several family members come and go throughout our stay and found everything we could want to keep ourselves entertained and comfortable. We had 7-11 people, ages 3-83. The pictures don't really do the property justice. We would come back gladly and hope to someday.

Beautiful water and sandy beach
Loved the water and how sandy it was! The only problems was that 1 of the bathrooms was pretty much unusable and all the dressers were full so there was no place to put our clothes and things. But the outside was just wonderful! Plus, loved the kayaks and sailboat. Would definitely consider staying here again if the bathroom was fixed!

Amazing beach
Perfect getaway from the city life. We stayed here with our dog and loved it! The beach is amazing!!! Hal was very kind to us and answered our calls when we had any questions. The garage was stacked with kayakes and beach loungers. We turned the heater on at night and it worked really quick. Make sure to wake up right before the sunrise for the most magical sky in Michigan! We hope to visit again. Thanks again Hal!!!

Nice location... house needs help
First impression upon opening door was strong mold smell and possibly cat dander caused allergy problems. Beautiful views with lots of water toys the owner was generous to share. Internet download speed was 3mb - too slow for streaming. Only one bathroom was functional, but that was stated prior. Animals running inside the walls all night long. Owner confirmed awareness and suggested mice or ground squirrels. Would not have booked had I known of mold and mice. Would not recommend.
