++OVERVIEW++
Located near the end of a dead-end street in-town, you're less than a few hundred feet from sandy Lake Huron. Enjoy the beach at our resort across the street or walk along the shore to the Oscoda boardwalk and public park with plenty of activities for the kids: a splash pad, playground, skate park, and maintained beach.
For time spent indoors, there's comfortable space for your entire family + friends with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Spread out when you want some privacy or gather in the spacious, open-concept living area. Stay connected with high speed cable internet and whole home WiFi. All three HDTVs are loaded with premium movie content and channels.
Enjoy your morning coffee gazing at Lake Huron from the front porch or relax on the shaded, back patio with a glass of wine in the evening. Walk across the street and relax on sandy Lake Huron with private access through our waterfront property.
BEDROOMS
There are 3 private bedrooms, each with comfortable memory foam mattresses. The front bedroom has a queen/twin bunk sleeping arrangement and cubbies for nighttime phone/tablet charging. The downstairs master has a raised queen bed, HDTV and armchair. There’s a king bed and HDTV in the upstairs bedroom.
BATHROOMS
The main bathroom is off of the living room and features a tub-shower. The second bathroom is off of the downstairs master bedroom and has a large 6’x3’ walk-in shower.
LIVING SPACES
The living room, kitchen and dining room are all open to each other and offer plenty of space for your entire group. Like the other televisions, the living room HDTV is Roku enabled/equipped. Across from the upstairs bedroom is a semi-private, secondary hangout space with a daybed (daybed linens not provided).
ACCOMMODATION
The home is equipped and intended to sleep 6 people comfortably. While there is technically space for 8-9, we know that not every travel party consists of couples—there’s no need to bring an air mattress—the day bed (day bed linens not provided) and twin bunk give you space to spread out. Our max guests, including children, is still limited to 6.
ANIMAL-FREE HOME
Allergic to animals? This home is always animal-free in order to provide guests with animal allergies a comfortable place to vacation.
OUTDOOR SPACE
Off the back of the home is a semi-private patio with dining for 6. Located close to the water, there’s almost always a nice breeze on the property and the large pine trees offer shade most of the day making outdoor relaxation comfortable. The outdoor space of this home is yours to enjoy and not shared with our resort.
Additionally, you have full access to our beach across the street at Cottage Cove.
RULES
We want you to have an awesome experience at the house and hope you enjoy your whole vacation. Our biggest philosophy is leave it as you found. I.e., clean up after yourself and treat the property as if it were your own. We think this is a place you’ll want to stay again after you experience it the first time.
++WHAT TO EXPECT++
Each of our vacation rental properties possesses distinctive traits, and we consider it essential for you to be aware of these prior to your visit. Our goal is to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for every guest, and understanding these differences from your home can contribute to that. To assist in making your booking decision more informed, we present some key points for your consideration.
++SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS++
SHARED SPACES: This cottage shares beach access with our next-door property, Cottage Cove. Consequently, the beach is shared with other guests and the possibility of dogs.
CLEANLINESS: We prioritize offering a clean environment for your vacation. Every linen, appliance, surface, and fixture is thoroughly cleaned between stays. However, there are some points to note.
• Our spacious, circular driveway at our next-door property, Cottage Cove, is a great playground for kids and provides a smooth walking surface. However, it can lead to oil being tracked into the cottage from the asphalt, especially when guests walk barefoot from the beach. Despite our diligent cleaning efforts, the asphalt can sometimes leave oil marks on the cottage floors and bathtubs.
• With the beach comes sand, which we endeavor to remove completely. However, if we miss a few grains, rest assured they've been mopped, sprayed, or wiped clean.
• Please note, these points are not meant to excuse substandard cleaning. If you ever feel our cleaning is insufficient, let us know immediately, and we'll rectify the situation.
COASTAL LIVING CHALLENGES: Our vacation rental homes are located on Lake Huron's shore, close to the Huron National Forest. Given our location and the age of our properties, please be aware of the following.
• Ants and other insects may find their way into the cottage, despite regular pest control efforts. You can help by maintaining food cleanliness and immediate cleanup.
• Rarely, mice may get past our precautions, especially during cooler weather. It's unlikely but worth considering when deciding to book.
ACCESSIBILITY: Our cottages are not handicap-accessible. Most doorways are narrow, and some spaces may present obstacles for those with mobility issues. Please review all photos to assess suitability before booking.
PROVIDED ITEMS: To simplify your packing, we supply essentials for your trip, but with certain limitations to stay competitive.
• Sanitary Items: Expect roughly 1 roll of paper towel, 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom, and 2 trash bags.
• Linens/Bedding: We provide each guest with 1 towel and 1 washcloth, based on the cottage's occupancy limit. Each bed is fitted with a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, pillows with cases, and a light quilt. In the bathrooms, you'll find 1 floor towel and 1 hand towel. The kitchen is equipped with 1 dishcloth and 1 dish towel. Please note that we do not offer towel exchange services, nor do we provide extra linens beyond what is mentioned here.
• Kitchenware: We provide dinnerware to accommodate the maximum number of guests, plus basic cookware. e.g. at least 1 saucepan, 1 frypan and simple cooking utensils.
