Beautiful up north beach getaway

This was the 5th summer we have stayed at this property so obviously we absolutely love it! The beach is stunning, location is great, everything you could possibly need or want. Tim is great if you need anything. We hope to be able to stay here for many more summers.

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.

My husband, myself, and our two dogs really enjoyed our getaway at Tim and Sandy’s cottage. We truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. The cottage was cozy, comfortable and stocked with everything we could need. The best part was the access to the beach- we took beach walks every morning and played with our dogs on the beach every day.We always had an abundance of firewood for our nightly campfires as well.We came home so refreshed and relaxed- we can’t wait to return!

Amazing little gem on Lake Huron

We LOVED our stay at the cottage. It is cozy, well stocked and in a great location. The shores of Lake Huron are just steps out the door.The furniture is comfortable and it is a very easy living space.We loved sitting on the deck, the bird feeders were stocked and the birds were everywhere.We enjoyed walking the beach and jet skiing on Cedar Lake, which has public access 2 minutes away. It was wonderfully relaxing and rejuvenating. We could not have asked for a better location and look forward to returning for another stay.

Peaceful retreat

We absolutely loved our stay in this cozy retreat. The property is beautiful and very quiet despite being on a busy road. The beach access was amazing, our two dogs absolutely loved running down the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed watching all the birds, squirrels, chipmunks play in the yard around the bird feeders. That was my favorite part! House was very cozy and had everything we needed for a long weekend. We enjoyed cooking, reading, and relaxing. Good location close to Oscada (we did a day trip to lumberman’s monument), Tawas and Sturgeon Lighthouse. Overall, perfect beach getaway!

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!
