Nice Area
My grand daughter and I enjoyed our stay at the cottage. There were nice extras like fresh coffee and chocolates. The beds were super comfy. It was nice having extra apps on the TV to watch. The only downside was a mouse was running around. I know it's a wooded area and these things happen.

Nice place, pet friendly, nice yard to tie out dogs that like to be outside. The cottage is well stocked. The front room is my favorite room, I loved watching the birds at the feeders outside the windows! Monique got back to us in a timely manner when we needed her.

Cute and cozy home in the forest. Well stocked and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed walking to the beach and swimming everyday. We also savored the peace of sitting around a fire outside. Would definitely go back!

Comfortable, clean stay in Au Gres, close to beach and outdoor activities. Cabin is on a large, quiet lot, and walking distance to the beach. Host provided everything needed to enjoy the property (beach wagon, beach toys, rafts, air pumps, beach towels, cooler, yard games, hammocks, firewood). Family enjoyed relaxing in woods, taking bike rides down Michigan Ave in the morning, and visiting the beach in the afternoon. Au Gres is 5 minutes down the road with multiple restaurants, grocery store and a splash pad.

Adorable and cozy home away from home!
Monique’s cozy cabin was the perfect getaway! She was very attentive to any and all possible questions we had, but also provided a wealth of I do for us so we knew what to pack! Additionally, there were so many games and activities to unwind with after a day of exploring the beach and local area. If you’re considering staying here, book it now!

Camping feels near Lake Huron - just show up!
The property is as described! Our family of 4 appreciated the clean and bright house, comfy beds & couches, and thoughtful amenities. Inside we found good books and games, space to hang/store clothes in both bedrooms, 2 box fans, and 2 a/c units. For the outside we found 3 hammocks, 4 camp chairs, an outdoor patio set, 2 rocking chairs, a large table to set up outside, an outdoor propane grill and a charcoal grill with accessories, a fire pit with wood and 3 marshmallow sticks. The house is a short walk/bike ride to the beach. They have 3 bikes and a wagon to borrow as well as floaties, towels, an air pump, a small backpack cooler, and sunscreen. There are plenty of towels and blankets and pillows - save space, leave yours at home. There are also plenty of condiments, spices, silverware, cooking utensils, and dishes... even baggies, tin foil, plastic wrap. Also a microwave, hot water heater for tea-drinkers and a coffee pot, of course, with Caribou coffee and plenty of tea to choose from. The TV is 'smart' so bring your log-ins. Au Gres has an IGA for any food you need and Tawas has a Walmart. Honestly, you could show up with clothes, a little food, and a toothbrush and you'd be all set for some fun at the beach and relaxation at the house.

Such a great property to stay. The cabin was clean, and the owner made the stay personable with children books, a wagon full of beach stuff, and cozy blankets. The beds are extremely comfortable. There is a nice enclosed sitting area with lots of seating. The cabin had air conditioning if you wanted it. Overall, we would definitely stay again!

Perfect Family Getaway
The cabin was the cleanest rental we’ve ever had the pleasure of staying at! I loved that we didn’t have to bring paper products, kitchenware and utensils, towels, and bedding! Not sure where I would have fit all that stuff in my vehicle which our toddler and dog in the back. We had a great time in the area and saw a ton of wild birds and deer! We went to the beach a few times, drove up to the state park for the dog beach, and even visited the local splash pad multiple times. It was just the long weekend away we needed!

Amazing (again)!
We had a fabulous time on our vacation! Monique has so much to offer at the cottage! Lots of fun within a short driving distance: beaches, ice cream, shopping, trails, etc. The association beach has 2 great options as well! You can for sure walk to the “small beach” with kids, ours rode their scooters (from home) and we pulled the provided wagon. Since we have kids and (ALL the) beach stuff we ended up driving to the “big beach” when we went. Beaches were private and AMAZING! We were able to have a picnic table to ourselves every time we went to the association beach. The beds were great for us and we enjoyed the different living spaces while we were “home” at the cottage. Kitchen items were sufficient for our “keep it simple” vacation dinner motto. We hope to return! Thanks Monique!

Lovely Cottage
The cabin is very nice and comfortable. Monique was very helpful. We especially enjoyed the dog friendly beach that is at the State Park. I mistook the pictures to mean that the beach was closer to the cabin...my mistake. The creek is very small, more like a stream and one can not get down to it. We enjoyed all the amenities of the cabin. Enjoyed our stay!
