Island Beach Cottage includes boat

On the shores of Lake Huron, lays a charmingly quaint cottage nestled in the trees on Chicken Island.

From the boat launch in Port Franks, you’ll load your goodies into our boat that’ll be fueled up, equipped with lifejackets and ready to go. Within a minute or two, you’ll be across the river and pull up to the private floating dock at Chicken Island Beach Cottage. We promise it won’t be long before your cares drift away and you disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the everyday.

Q: Is the cottage beachfront? Can you see the lake from there?
A: While it is surrounded by beaches, the cottage itself is tucked away in the trees. The beach is a short 50 feet away from the door of the cottage. Through the trees you can catch a glimpse of the boats going down the river and from the front patio you’ll enjoy a gorgeous view of the lake glistening.
We are the second cottage in from the tip of the island.

Q: Is there a washer/dryer or dishwasher.
A: No. This is also why you must bring your own bedding and towels. Please pack lightly.

A: No. With the size of the boat and motor, a license is not required. Some boating experience always helps but not necessary. If your nervous to use the motor, use the oars. It’ll only take you an extra minute to cross the narrow river.
