This is the perfect private getaway that has anything you may need. The beach is pristine, the coziness is spot on, and the Alcons Brew Haus (just up the road) made our experience one to remember. We will be back here, what a gem right on Lake Huron!

Outstanding location right on the beach. Clean, very few people, no public access, clean sand, clean water. It’s like a North Carolina beach without the salt and the traffic. We will definitely be back. And our dog loved the beach and the cabin. A Experience!

Pristine location for relaxation

This was a lovely stay by my partner and two dogs. We celebrated the new year with lots of naps, reading and relaxation as well as walks on the beach. Great place for a couple to get away and have a great view and beautiful sunrises but still have a town nearby. Responsive owners and tidy home

Such a charming lake house! My husband & I went for a quick getaway and this was one of the best VRBO's we've stayed in. The location was perfect..not far from town, right on beautiful Lake Huron, and yet it felt like you were miles away from it all! It was heaven!!! The property is nicely surrounded by trees on each side so there were no neighbors in site. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. We loved the charm of all the original woodwork of this home. The beach area was perfect and we enjoyed 80 degree weather one day of our stay in October... We only wish we could've stayed longer !! Also, hosts were excellent and I highly recommend. Our pet, Archie, loved the beach and chasing the squirrels & birds in the yard!!

cozy lakeshore getaway

Beautiful site nestled on the shore of Lake Huron. Private but easily accessible. The cottage is cozy, with lovely knotty pine panneling. It has great natural light with large windows and a skylight over the dining table. It is well cared for and clean, with a fully equiped kitchen. The oweners live nearby and were responsive and informative.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
