About this property

Lake Huron Hideaway - Unwind, Relax, and Connect

Make memories in our cozy and peaceful home nestled in tall pines, just outside of Rogers City, Michigan. Our house was built in the 1950's, and we renovated it with stylish mid-century modern touches. The updated kitchen has a gas range and oven and stainless steel cookware, great for cooking and eating in. The house is stocked with high quality linens, bedding, and towels, and we strive to make sure you have the essential ingredients for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. There is a downstairs bedroom and upstairs sleeping loft, and lovely spaces to congregate inside and out. The house can comfortably accommodate a maximum of six guests.

The Hideaway is located a half-block away from the sandy beaches of Lake Huron and directly across from Hoeft State Park. Indoors we have a game room - with ping pong and foosball - and outdoors you will find a custom-built fire pit, grill, hammock, and outside dining area.

In summer, hit the beach and swim, paddle, or sail on Lake Huron. Set out for a walk, bike, or run on miles of public trails, beaches, and paved paths just outside the door. Explore nearby shipwrecks and lighthouses. In the fall, revel in the gorgeous changing leaves, and visit the nearby nationally acclaimed apple orchard and cidery. Come winter, access miles of cross country ski trails just across the street, or head to the other trails in the area, including Black Mountain. In spring, look for morels and enjoy crisp nights and warming days.

We love traveling with our dogs, and we welcome your dogs, too! The backyard is enclosed with a fence, so if your dog is not a digger (meaning under the fence) or a jumper (meaning over the fence), he or she can also enjoy off-leash outdoor vacation time in the backyard. We have dog food and water bowls for your use, along with eco-friendly pick-up bags.

Due to the location of the home, there is no cable television (although we do have two TVs with DVD players and a nice collection of movies), cell service is limited, and we do not have internet or wi-fi. Many of our guests welcome the peace and tranquility that comes with not having cable or internet and the opportunity to unwind, relax, and connect with one another. We have a land line phone for your use.

Happy Travels!!

Great property!

Very well kept up cottage. Great location, not far from town and of course the lake. The kitchen had everything we needed. The fenced yard is great for pets. Next time I think we'll bring the dog. The owner leaves a welcome basket for people and the dogs. We listened to the records, we havent done that in a long time!

Sunrise side 8/24-31

Our family vacations have always been on the west side, we decided to change it up this year. It helped to stay at such a nice property, with everything well thought out and provided. A nice selection of movies, vinyl, books and games. We brought a few of our own favorites too. A short stroll to the beach, nestled between private properties, we were able to view some stunning sunrises and the blue supermoon rising as well! Plenty of other public beach areas close by, and just a short drive to Rogers City, or up to Cheboygan, where we spent our one rainy day at the movies and did the shipwreck tour on a better day. Our week went by too quick, but we hope to be back next year!

Exceeded our expectations!

We are so impressed with what Monica and Steve have done with this property! The decor is a combination of Pottery Barn and 1950's charm, just perfect for this house and the area. We loved the renewal of the old fireplace! The house was extremely clean, furnishings comfortable and stocked with everything you would need. We have a summer only vacation property nearby and needed a place to stay, but if you know anything about Rogers City, great places to stay are hard to come by. Not anymore! We come up once a winter to check on it and were so happy to find such a nice play nearby. We will be back!

Perfect Vacation Location!

My husband and our son and daughter-in-law celebrated our July birthdays at this very clean, comfortable, spacious, and perfectly located home in a peaceful neighborhood adjacent to P.H. Hoeft State Park. We loved being just steps from the beautiful sandy beach, walking the nature trails at the State park, and hopping on the Huron Sunrise Bike path just down the road. Only 2 miles north to 40 Mile Point Lighthouse Point / Park and about 6 miles south to Rogers City along the gorgeous shore and though many parks. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking meals.The single bathroom was spacious with plenty of counter space/ drawers for the four of us. Plenty of towels and linens, including beach towels. We enjoyed playing Ping Pong and dining Al Fresco in the private, shady backyard and relaxing around the fire pit at night. Taking the early morning "chill" off with the fireplace was cozy! This place is a Hidden Gem. We definitely plan to return!

Huron Hideaway is charming and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with cutlery, utensils, dishes and pots and pans. However, with the exception of salt, pepper and coffee, there were no staples such as oil, vinegar, sugar, spices and condiments. I would have brought supplies had I known. Please include this information in your check in information. Thanks.

About the host

Hosted by Monica

Host profile image
We, Steve and Monica, are both originally from Rogers City. We attended school together and were high school sweethearts. Over the course of the next 20+ years, we lived in cities all over the country, including New York and Chicago, and (at long last) married in 2014. We now reside in Northern Michigan with our three beloved rescue dogs and cherish our role as hosts for visitors from around the world. We hope you enjoy the Hideaway as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

The Hideaway property has been in Monica's family for decades. We renovated the house and added modern touches, while still maintaining the home's mid-century charm. We look forward to sharing the Hideaway and the unparalleled natural beauty of the area with our guests.
