About this property

Cottage 2: A cozy lakefront cottage at Sunnyside — steps from the fire pit and shared beach.

Cottage 2 is one of three matching lakefront cottages at Sunnyside Cottages in Greenbush, Michigan. Two bedrooms, one bath, a full kitchen, and a living area with TV and wifi. Every stay includes access to Sunnyside's shared grounds: a private beach, fire pit, shuffleboard, and picnic tables with grills. Simple, comfortable, and right on Lake Huron's Sunrise Coast.

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.

Sunnyside Cottages sits on Lake Huron in Greenbush, Michigan, right along US-23 between Harrisville and Oscoda.

Nearby highlights include:
- Lake Huron Beach Access – On-site
- Harrisville & Sturgeon Point Lighthouse – about 8 miles, 16 minutes
- Oscoda – about 13 miles, 22 minutes
- Au Sable River & Lumberman's Monument – near Oscoda, a scenic drive up River Road
- East Tawas – about 28 miles, 43 minutes
- Alpena – about 40 miles, 1 hour

The area is known for boating, fishing, hiking, and some of the quietest, most uncrowded stretches of Lake Huron's shoreline.

Guests will have access to their private 2-bedroom cottage, along with several shared amenities throughout 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.

Each cottage is fully private, but the outdoor spaces are shared and designed to give the whole property a relaxed, lakeside-retreat feel.

Property Details:
- 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom — sleeps up to 4
- Bedroom 1: Queen bed
- Bedroom 2: Queen bed
- Living room with TV and wifi

Outdoor Amenities:

- Beach volleyball, shuffleboard, and a putting green

Beach Amenities (not available October–March):

- Swings

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.

Traveling with a bigger group? Sunnyside has nine cottages total, so if availability allows, we can often book you more than one — just message us and we'll sort it out.

House Rules: No parties or large gatherings. No drugs or illegal substances. Violating these rules may result in fees or immediate eviction without a refund — we appreciate your help keeping things peaceful for everyone on the property.

Sound: This cottage has an open-ceiling layout between rooms, so sound carries easily. Great for families or close friends staying together — just know bedrooms won't be fully private acoustically.

Water: We're on well water — safe to drink, though some guests notice a metallic taste. Distilled water is available at nearby stores.

What to bring: toiletries, beach towels (we provide bath towels), charcoal if you're grilling, cooking basics like oil and salt, groceries, and a lighter or fire starters if you'll use the fire pit.

What we provide: coffee, dishwasher pods, trash bags, paper towels, two starter rolls of toilet paper, and firewood for the fire pit.
The apartment is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. The apartment also includes a coffee maker.

We'd Come Back

All was good... But...The shower handle MUST be fixed! It verges on "dangerous". The code to get in should be sent the morning of Check In. No one should have to track you down for this.(Morning of "Check Out" notes were sent the night Before! lol) Notes on "where" the provided firewood is would be nice. (Our cabin neighbors in #1 fond it). Also a note on instructions for the Wifi/TV should be provided as standard. These are "Tips" for you to do with as you see fit. My sister & I both loved the place & had a great time! Your biggest issue that can't be fixed is your "Mrs. Cravitz/aka; "Karen" who lives next door to your property. LOL. With the right attitude, she is "entertainingly noisy".
