About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lake Huron Waterfront Cape Cod, Sunrises, Freighters & Small-Town Charm

Wake up to breathtaking Lake Huron sunrises and watch freighters glide across the horizon. Our home is a charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath Cape Cod just north of Harbor Beach and has been completely renovated to blend classic cottage charm with clean, comfortable modern amenities, including air conditioning, a lovely covered wraparound porch, a fully equipped kitchen, a Weber Kettle charcoal grill, and a fire pit.

Step outside and enjoy your secluded sandy beach area, complete with a fire ring for relaxing evenings by the lake. It’s the perfect place for morning coffee, evening fires, and serene views of Lake Huron, local wildlife, and the Harbor Beach Lighthouse.

Explore Harbor Beach:

Harbor Beach Marina, located within one of the world’s largest man-made harbors, offers public boat launches and slips. The Harbor View Trail, a non-motorized pedestrian and bike path, connects the marina area with parks, the beach, and downtown—and convenient trail access is located at the end of our street.
Spend the day at Judge James H. Lincoln Memorial Park, where you can enjoy pier fishing, sandy beach swimming, kayak launch, a playground for the kiddos, and seasonal community events and concerts.


See provided link below for more info on local events:

Explore the Grice House Museum, stroll through the quaint lakeside town of Harbor Beach, or take a guided tour of 1885 Harbor Beach Lighthouse (only available during the summer season).

Ready for a day trip exploring nearby towns? Follow the Lake Huron shoreline to Port Hope, Grindstone City, Caseville, and Port Austin, or book a fishing charter and experience the beauty of Lake Huron from the water. Bad Ax (located approx. 19 miles away) offers a larger array of shopping and dining options.
Your Stay

Guests have private use of the home and outdoor grounds, including the sandy waterfront area and fire ring. Settle in, slow down, and enjoy the best of Michigan’s Thumb—fresh lake air, incredible sunrises, freighters on the horizon, and laid-back lake-town living.

Important Waterfront Notice:

The property sits directly on Lake Huron and includes a sandy shoreline area; however, due to current lake levels and natural shoreline vegetation, access to the water directly from the property is currently restricted for swimming, wading, and launching watercraft. Shoreline conditions are natural and may change throughout the season.

Guests can still enjoy the secluded sandy beach area, fire pit, beautiful lake views, wildlife, and spectacular Lake Huron sunrises!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a kitchen island.

Beautiful & Quiet Lakefront Home

The home was beautiful, and located within walking distance to downtown Harbor Beach. We especially loved walking along the path to watch the freighters go by. I would definitely stay again next time I'm in the area!
