A cozy lakefront cottage at Sunnyside — private beach, fire pit, and shuffleboard on site.
Wake up to Lake Huron right outside your window. Cottage 1 sits steps from a private beach, with a shared fire pit, shuffleboard, and picnic grills just outside the door — evenings here mean sand between your toes and sparks drifting up into a dark sky over the water. Inside: two bedrooms, one bath, a full kitchen, and a cozy living area with TV and Wi-Fi. Cottage 1 is one of three matching lakefront cottages at Sunnyside Cottages in Greenbush, Michigan.
You'll get full check-in details before you arrive, and we're just a message or call away if anything comes up during your stay — whether that's a restaurant recommendation or the best time to catch the sunrise. You're not routed through a call center; you're talking to the people actually managing the property.

Shared areas include: - Lake Huron Beach Access – Direct access to the beach just steps from the cottages, great for swimming, beach days, and watching the sunrise. - Fire Pit & Picnic Area – A shared gathering spot with picnic tables and grills for evenings outdoors. - Lawn Games – Shuffleboard, beach volleyball, and a putting green scattered around the property. - Loungers & Swings – Additional beach seating, available seasonally (not set up October through March). - WiFi – Available throughout each cottage.

Outdoor Amenities: - Grill and picnic area - Shared fire pit - Beach volleyball, shuffleboard, and a putting green - Lakefront access to Lake Huron

The area is best explored by car — most beaches, restaurants, and attractions are a short drive away. - Parking is available on-site for guests. - Harrisville and Oscoda are both within 15–25 minutes. - Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are limited this far up the coast, so we recommend having a vehicle for your stay. - Alpena, with the nearest regional airport, is about an hour north.
Once you're here, plenty of guests are happy just settling in at the cottage and walking down to the beach.
Pets are welcome with prior approval — $25/night per dog. Dogs should be potty-trained and under 50 lbs; if yours is bigger, reach out and we'll see what we can do. Please clean up after your pet and keep them leashed in shared spaces.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
The location of this cottage was perfect for a beach vacation. Right on the sand and water Beautiful view. However there was no screen on the front door except a torn up cloth thing that did not work so unable to leave the door open to enjoy the beautiful view. Very inconvenient going in and out allowing swarms of flies to enter Bedroom doors did not close. One bedroom had no mirror while the other one had two. Toilet seat in very bad condition. I would return if the cottage was fixed up. I also rented cottage 2 next door for family. It was in better condition.
The property location was perfect. With the beach just outside our door and a wonderful view, it was what I needed to unwind. Two things stand out as being negative. First, the water inside was hard to get used to. It had an awful taste and bad smell. Had to brush my teeth using bottle water. Second was the lighting in the entire cabin. Every light seemed to be about 40 watts. It was almost impossible to read after the sun went down. The positive things were definitely the cost, the location, and very nice new windows. They were very easy to raise and lower. The beds were very comfortable and the living room was comfortable too. The kitchen was stocked with a variety of cookware and dishes. Suggestions to improve:Make sure the kitchen has a potholder. After heating something in the oven, I couldn’t find one and had to get a towel out of the bathroom to remove the hot pan. Get rid of tacky decor—like dirty, moldy looking wax fruit on kitchen table. No decor is better than decor that is uncared for. It was fun to sit around a campfire with neighbors. A very friendly group.
