Great second stay!

Very much enjoyed our second stay at Tim's place! Our second stay was different in that we actually left the house a couple times this visit! The house is so cozy in the winter that you really only want to leave to walk on the beach or grab a log for the fire. This time we enjoyed takeout from Red Fork (salad and a pizza-- quite good) and dinner at Huron Out Pub (Honky tonk night! Great meal and service in the bar.). Tim's place remains great and we'd love to visit again in the future.

Peace at the lake

This is our sixth year staying in this beautiful home. You can feel the love and care that Tim and Sandy lavish on this bit of heaven. This home has everything you need for a peaceful vacation. Including foxes, bald eagles and chipmunks for company. God willing, we will be back next year.

Beautiful Setting on the Sunrise Side

I highly recommend this property. The house was fully stocked with anything you'd need, inside and out. The deck overlooking the lake was delightful. The beach was amazing - sugar sand as far as you could see. My dog enjoyed our long walks along the water. We did not make use of the hot tub or the firepit, but they're there! One warning - there were considerable fireworks surrounding the property up to and including the 4th of July, so it's something to consider if you have people or animals who are sensitive to them.

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.

Such a charming lake house! My husband & I went for a quick getaway and this was one of the best VRBO's we've stayed in. The location was perfect..not far from town, right on beautiful Lake Huron, and yet it felt like you were miles away from it all! It was heaven!!! The property is nicely surrounded by trees on each side so there were no neighbors in site. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. We loved the charm of all the original woodwork of this home. The beach area was perfect and we enjoyed 80 degree weather one day of our stay in October... We only wish we could've stayed longer !! Also, hosts were excellent and I highly recommend. Our pet, Archie, loved the beach and chasing the squirrels & birds in the yard!!

This was our second year staying at this quaint cabin on a very private stretch of Lake Huron sugar sand beach. The cabin is very close to local attractions such as Iargo Springs and the Ausable River in addition to very good restaurants. Being pet friendly is a big draw as we love taking our dogs with us when we travel. The on site hot tub is also a great way to end the evenings in the woods.

About the host

Hosted by Tim and Sandy Reed

Host profile image
Sandy grew up in nearby Harrisville. Tim grew up in Howell and spent lots of time at his grandparent's Lake Huron home. We both love the area and that big lake! This is the best beach around, NO STONES! So.....here we are! Our favorite time of day at the cottage is the morning....Sipping coffee on the deck with feeling of sunshine and the natural wood deck beneath your feet is the best!

Why they chose this property

With 100" of private beach, to the south, a privacy fence offers a sense of seclusion, ensuring that your escape feels even more intimate. This feature invites you to relax freely in your outdoor space without concern for prying eyes. To the north, a lush area of trees provides a natural buffer between you and your neighbors, enhancing the feeling of being enveloped by nature. The cottage sits comfortably pushed back from the main road of US 23, allowing for peaceful solitude while still being conveniently accessible.

What makes this property unique

We love spending time on the beach swimming, walking and sun bathing. In the evenings we love to build a fire and star gaze. If you live in metropolitan area you will be amazed at the star shine. Keep watch for the northern lights too. Weather your sipping coffee on the porch as the sun rises over the lake, enjoying a bonfire in the evening, or simply soaking in the beauty of your surroundings, this vintage cottage offers a perfect year-round-retreat-an ideal blend of comfort,nature, and privacy.
