Christmas getaway, a break from the youngsters.
We came north for Christmas because my daughter and her whole family live here. When you consider 5 grandchildren ranging in ages from 14 to 27 and 1 wife, 1 fiancée and 1 significant other plus my daughter and son-in-law. That’s a lot in one house! The Tuesday before we were to come up Friday for Christmas I decided to fall sideways down the basement stairs and break my left hip. I had surgery late Wednesday afternoon. Friday I got out of the hospital and Sunday we went to Staci’s had a nice relaxing dinner time. Went back to the cabin and slept well before breakfast and a present frenzy! It was a great place, near my daughter but not close for our privacy.

Delightful
We really enjoyed our stay. It was comfortable and clean. Probably one of the cleanest we’ve ever stayed at, and we’ve stayed at many. The kitchen was outfitted sufficiently although a few more and definitely better pans would have been nice. I might suggest that you get a small folding step stool for the kitchen to lessen the possibility of injury from standing on a chair to reach the top shelf of the cabinet. I would also suggest that the wicker loveseat upstairs faces the window, instead of its back to the window. The view is to die for and it’s a wonderful place to enjoy morning coffee. We loved all the windows and light. And the sunrises, oh my the sun rises! We would definitely recommend this stay to others.

Perfect Beach Getaway from City Life!
This property has 4 properties, and each one has its own character and charm. We stayed at the Captain’s Watch and it’s character was it’s bedroom! You could see the Beach and the Night-sky, and the Sunrise/Sunset right from your bed! The Weather was beautiful and unseasonably warm, the beach was gorgeous and private enough for all to enjoy. We looked forward to the view on the rainy days as well- even saw a rainbow 🌈over Port Huron on our last day! We will definitely be back next year!

Great place for two
We went a couple weeks after the busy season. So while it was cooler, it was also very quiet. We were in one of the back houses (of 4) and still had a lovely view of the lake from the kitchen and the upper floor bedroom. Perfect for two people. We loved the upstairs bedroom which offered a beautiful view of the sunrise. It would be pretty tight for four adults, but was just fine for the two of us. There is a fire pit on the beach for each rental, as well as a grill on each small patio. There were also plenty of nice beach chairs at this time of year. The beach is beautiful. It’s very near the road so expect some road noise as the day begins. It’s situated in a good location, very close to Oscoda and Harrisville. Many close options for firewood, restaurants, supermarket, gas station, nature areas, etc. I would only add that if the telescope actually works there should be some instructions on how to use it. Otherwise the room would benefit from the added space if the telescope was removed. And remove all old instructions from the wall next to the entry door.

Oscoda on the beach
My wife and I decided at the last minute to spend our 56th Anniversary near a beach so I found this location and was able to easily book a 2 night stay. I think the cleaning people are a bit over paid because the corners were a bit dirty but overall a pleasant stay. The upstairs bedroom is pretty nice with a full view of the beach. The view downstairs is minimal but we would still recommend this property and will probably do a return visit in the future.

Mom’s time out with kids
This was the perfect location for a mom and two kids to spend the weekend. Right on the beach and within driving distance to attractions and east tawas. It helped that the neighbors were quiet at the other cabins on the property. A few things to know: you have to hook up the propane to use the grill yourself, bring beach towels with you, there is not a clothing line to dry swim wear on. Other than that we had a great time!

Not happy
Arrived to property 1hr before check in time. Signed in for 1 hr hour early check in. We were denied because they said cleaning person was inside. There was no one inside. Dogs needed to be approved and no large dogs. There was a 120lbs Doberman staying on property and owners not cleaning up after it. Really? Grounds were not taken care. Inside unit not taken care of either. Glad we only had a 2night stay.

Nice Location
Nice location on the beach with a great view of the lake. Property immediately behind this unit was not rented at the time so it did not feel crowded. The unit was very clean and had great amenities. I struggled a little with the door not completely understanding how it worked at first - written instructions inside the unit would have been helpful. I also wasn’t sure if the lakeshore was open to everyone or just in front of the property. Property managers were very responsive and helpful.

Lake front vacation
I enjoyed our stay. It is a tiny bungalow connected to a larger home and you share the beach and bonfire. We were excited to use the telescope, but couldn't get it working. Didn't have issues with the bed, but the futon was horrible. Cooked meals on the BBQ that is behind the other property and no view of lake. Overall happy with the trip

Be careful of deceptive listing
While we were only a few steps from the beach on Lake Huron, our host advertised our rental as 'directly on the lake', and there was another cottage between ours & the beach/lake. So if we wanted a view of the water, we had to walk to the beach, instead of having a patio that faced the water. Misleading! Also, the futon in the living room was so old & lumpy that you could feel the coils when you tried to sit on it. For a rate of 2K a week, my wife & I were disappointed. Positives were the bedroom was large with cable TV & a comfortable bed, lots of kitchen utensils, large bathroom, & chaise loungers on a spacious beach.

The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Kitchen had all cookware and dishes, bathroom had plenty of towels, there were beach towels. The grill worked great, we had plenty of options for lounging outdoors. All-in-all it was a great time. We would definitely go back. The futon is uncomfortable but the bed in the main bedroom was comfortable.
