"Escape to Timeless Charm: Your Year-Round Vintage Getaway Awaits!"

Escape to our Lake Huron cottage, nestled on 100 ft of pristine private sugar sand beach with ripple sandy bottom. 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. If you're a "birder", you're in luck, as Tawas Point (15 miles south), is world famous for bird watching! Tawas Point has areas for parking, restrooms, and observation points to enhance your experience.
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 AuSable River or hit the Corsair Ski 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.

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!!

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!

This was our second year staying at this quaint cabin on a very private stretch of Lake Huron sugar sand beach. The cabin is very close to local attractions such as Iargo Springs and the Ausable River in addition to very good restaurants. Being pet friendly is a big draw as we love taking our dogs with us when we travel. The on site hot tub is also a great way to end the evenings in the woods.

Beautiful up north beach getaway

This was the 5th summer we have stayed at this property so obviously we absolutely love it! The beach is stunning, location is great, everything you could possibly need or want. Tim is great if you need anything. We hope to be able to stay here for many more summers.

My husband, myself, and our two dogs really enjoyed our getaway at Tim and Sandy’s cottage. We truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. The cottage was cozy, comfortable and stocked with everything we could need. The best part was the access to the beach- we took beach walks every morning and played with our dogs on the beach every day.We always had an abundance of firewood for our nightly campfires as well.We came home so refreshed and relaxed- we can’t wait to return!

Amazing little gem on Lake Huron

We LOVED our stay at the cottage. It is cozy, well stocked and in a great location. The shores of Lake Huron are just steps out the door.The furniture is comfortable and it is a very easy living space.We loved sitting on the deck, the bird feeders were stocked and the birds were everywhere.We enjoyed walking the beach and jet skiing on Cedar Lake, which has public access 2 minutes away. It was wonderfully relaxing and rejuvenating. We could not have asked for a better location and look forward to returning for another stay.

Peaceful retreat

We absolutely loved our stay in this cozy retreat. The property is beautiful and very quiet despite being on a busy road. The beach access was amazing, our two dogs absolutely loved running down the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed watching all the birds, squirrels, chipmunks play in the yard around the bird feeders. That was my favorite part! House was very cozy and had everything we needed for a long weekend. We enjoyed cooking, reading, and relaxing. Good location close to Oscada (we did a day trip to lumberman’s monument), Tawas and Sturgeon Lighthouse. Overall, perfect beach getaway!

Greenbush Hideaway

Beautiful cabin built in 1940 perfectly set back from the shore on Lake Huron. We met with the proprietor, Tim Reed, and met his son-in-law. The cabin was lovingly cared for and all was comfy cozy! We prepared and ate our meals in the kitchen/dining area, spending Easter Sunday there! Watched the beautiful sunrise and colored eggs! We hope to return when flowers and trees are in bloom! Thanks to the Reeds!

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

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.
