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 Ausabe River or hit the Corsair 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.
Book your stay now to create unforgettable memories in this idyllic year round retreat.
Your hosts,
Sandy and Tim Reed

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.

A beautiful property!
I love this place. I've stayed here twice and would return in a heartbeat. The cottage is a lovely quaint building that has beach access from the house. Great views of Lake Huron. It is well-supplied with all one needs, just bring your own food, etc. Tim, the owner of the property responds promptly to any questions. I had questions about using the fireplace and he arrived within minutes to show me how it worked. The beach is about 50 ft from the huge deck. Just take a sandy path down to the water. The beach is clean and easy to walk on. For summer weather there are various float toys provided. I highly recommend this property.

Fantastic Cottage and Beach
Everything about our stay was so nice. Excellent communication, sandy beach as far as the eye can see, and a homey little cottage. It was a bonus having firewood and firestarter provided. The hot tub was wonderful after a day of beachcombing. It is a little tall; I'm 5 feet even and had my husband "spot" me getting in and out, but with the stool it wasn't too bad. (Getting in is easier than getting back out.) Highly recommend this rental.
