About this property

Oscoda area - relax and enjoy family time on a Lake Huron sugar sand beach

Lift your head off your pillow in the master bedroom to watch the sun rise over Lake Huron, then snooze a bit more or head down to the beach for an early morning beach walk or kayak on a flat surfaced Lake Huron. Kids can either sleep close in bunk beds in the master bedroom or in twin beds in a separate bedroom (4 twin beds in all). A back room has another full size bed for a happy couple such that the cottage can handle 4 adults and at least as many kids. A full kitchen and laundry area complement the home. As the day advances and the breeze picks up, sail in a sunfish or windsurf from the beach or head a few miles south to Oscoda for a float trip in canoes, kayaks, or tubes along the AuSable River. Or take a bike ride around Cedar Lake or just lie on the beach and enjoy the sun. As the day comes to an end, mix up some margaritas and grill up a feast (or order pizza) and watch the amazing sunset colors develop over Lake Huron. As the sun sets, start a fire on the upper beach, make s'mores, sing some songs, or tell ghost stories while watching shooting stars and satellites overhead.

Also a great escape in the winter to a cozy cottage with a fireplace, a table for jigsaw puzzling, or a nice couch for reading (or snoozing) - both with great views of Lake Huron! Adventure outside for walks along the frozen beach with ice flows extending varying distances into the lake. Nearby you can also find several groomed X-country ski trails. Return to the cottage to warm up by a fire with hot chocolate or some soup and then enjoy games with the family or movies on the big screen with a LCD projector.

Although we encourage you to turn off your connections to the outside world - there is high speed wifi internet service at the cottage. Cell phone service varies with carrier (all can be found a few miles away in Oscoda) - you've come to the cottage to relax and reconnect with family and loved ones - not be connected to the world!

Incredible beach location directly on Lake Huron
The location of this cabin is perfection, close to town and amenities yet very private lot and directly on the water. The sugar sand beach is not rocky at all and truly lovely. I wish the cabin had been cleaner and the 2nd bathroom operational but overall we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Location!
The location of this property is perfect. The beach is private and beautiful, the outside of the cottage is well taken care of and a lovely place to sit and soak in summer. The cottage itself is a little tired and could use some TLC. That being said, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen had plenty of everything you might need. The “ultra water filter” in the kitchen is a real plus. Communication with the owner is excellent.

Home away from home
A fully stocked rental where you feel more like a guest that just a seasonal renter. Lots of room to spread out, beautiful property, amazing beach. Hope to stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Hal Schott

Host profile image
My wife and I are veterinarians that work at Michigan State University and have busy careers and lives trying to keep up with our jobs and our two children. Our kids were 10 and 7 when we bought the cottage and despite soccer, cross-country, and other school events, we are always game for a drive 'up north' for a night, weekend, or hopefully a longer respite.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this area of Lake Huron when we visited friends in the area. We purchased the cottage with the goal of 'slowing down' intermittently and having quality family time. Days on the lake, whether summer or winter, start with a family breakfast followed by a beach walk with our dogs. The days continue largely unplanned but typically end with a family dinner and campfire or movies on the big screen. Whether we are there for a day, a weekend, or a couple of weeks, we have never once been ready to leave when we had to return to reality. We are convinced that this has been the single most important investment in quality family life and we hope that you may also experience the relaxation and reconnection that we experience every time we visit the lake!

What makes this property unique

Relax, revive, and reconnect with loved ones and family. There is no daily schedule to keep and plenty of opportunity to slow down and enjoy the passing of time (the meaning of life according to James Taylor).
