"Escape to Timeless Charm: Your Year-Round Vintage Getaway Awaits!"

Escape to our Lake Huron cottage, nestled on 100 ft of pristine private sugar sand beach with ripple sandy bottom. Indulge in the warm ambiance of the knotty pine as you cozy up by the wood burning fireplace with a glass of wine, or gather around the outdoor fireplace on a balmy night roasting marshmallows under the starlit sky.
With a bunkhouse providing additional sleeping space, this cottage is perfect for both romantic getaways and family vacations. And, don't forget to bring your furry friend along, as we are pet friendly for well behaved dogs.
Unwind in the private hot tub, where you can soak under the twinkling stars on clear nights. Wake up to breathtaking sunrises and embark on a tour of local lighthouses during warmer months. Families will love exploring the Maritime Museum in Alpena or taking a glass-bottom boat sightseeing/shipwreck tour on the "Lady Michigan" (weather permitting) and the weekly outdoor concerts held at the Harrisville Harbor and the Oscoda Park ampler theatre. If you're a "birder", you're in luck, as Tawas Point (15 miles south), is world famous for bird watching! Tawas Point has areas for parking, restrooms, and observation points to enhance your experience.
As the seasons change, immerse yourself in the beauty of fall colors and enjoy local and charter fishing excursions. Hike to the famous Lumberman's Monument on the AuSable River or hit the Corsair Ski Trails for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. For a thrilling experience, tube, canoe or kayak down the scenic Ausable River. Satisfy your taste buds at the nearby local restaurants and breweries, offering a variety of culinary delights. Whether you seek relaxation, outdoor adventures, or astrology experiences, our cottage has it all and is fully equipped for your comfort.

Greenbush Hideaway

Beautiful cabin built in 1940 perfectly set back from the shore on Lake Huron. We met with the proprietor, Tim Reed, and met his son-in-law. The cabin was lovingly cared for and all was comfy cozy! We prepared and ate our meals in the kitchen/dining area, spending Easter Sunday there! Watched the beautiful sunrise and colored eggs! We hope to return when flowers and trees are in bloom! Thanks to the Reeds!

Pristine location for relaxation

This was a lovely stay by my partner and two dogs. We celebrated the new year with lots of naps, reading and relaxation as well as walks on the beach. Great place for a couple to get away and have a great view and beautiful sunrises but still have a town nearby. Responsive owners and tidy home

cozy lakeshore getaway

Beautiful site nestled on the shore of Lake Huron. Private but easily accessible. The cottage is cozy, with lovely knotty pine panneling. It has great natural light with large windows and a skylight over the dining table. It is well cared for and clean, with a fully equiped kitchen. The oweners live nearby and were responsive and informative.

Relaxing and cozy cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming cottage on the beach. What a gem and prompt communication by host. Our Labrador retriever loved the beach for swimming and chasing butterflies and the eagle resting in a nearby tree was a bonus! We loved walking the beach at sunrise and sunset - spectacular pics. A very relaxed time and will surely return!

Outdoor paradise

Our plan was to spend as much time outdoors as possible, and we were not disappointed! We spent all our time on the deck, around the fire pit, and on the beach. Our dog loved playing ball in the water and taking long walks on the lakeshore. When it rained, we enjoyed the great view of the lake from the tv room. Love this part of Michigan!

Privacy & Paradise

My wife and I stayed in this cottage with our dog. We were in town to celebrate our 20th Anniversary. Tim is a 5+ star host. The cleanliness of the cabin and surrounding area are impeccable. We spent our evenings on the deck enjoying the sounds of the waves crashing on the shoreline. We went to Rosa's Lookout Inn to celebrate our anniversary and they went above and beyond as well. We visited Sturgeon Point Lighthouse and Tawas Point Lighthouse. Both of which are within 15-20 mins of the cottage. The cottage had everything we could ask for when cooking. The cottage is tucked into the pines. The bird feeder was fun to watch with all the different birds coming & going. If you're looking at this cottage to rent, there's no question, this is the place for you.

A Must Stay!!!

This cottage on beautiful Lake Huron is absolutely amazing! It has everything you need to enjoy a fabulous time at the beach - which is conveniently located just outside your door. One of my absolute favorite times of this trip was sitting on the enormous deck with a cup of coffee, looking out at my favorite lake! The amenities in this cottage are spot on and we felt at home from the moment we walked in. And there is something for EVERYONE!!! Owners were great - attentive but giving total privacy. Definite 5 stars!!!

Michigan at its best!

This one bedroom cabin has all you need for a weekend or week long stay. The king bed is comfortable and spacious. There is also a pull out sofa in one of the living rooms that offers privacy for an additional couple and a bunk house. Firewood is provided and the beach area is pristine and quiet. We (40ish couple with dogs) thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already booked for next summer.

Relaxing and very close to Lake Huron

The pictures are accurate. This property is very close to a sandy, clean beach and Lake Huron. There are houses on each side, but you cannot see the one because there are woods and the other you can see a bit, but everything is quiet and you feel like you have the beach and lake to yourself! Amazing. The cottage was clean and charming.
