About this property

Pontoon available on site to rent.

While we lovingly refer to our home up north as "The Cabin" it is far from just a cabin. Cottage on the outside, cabin on the inside, this home has it all! LAKE, ORV trails, a stunning home, and best of all you can bring your fur babies (dogs only - $50/dog). Ramp to front porch for more accessibility. Pontoon boat (10 person, 25 hp) available to rent ($400/week). This unique 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home is located on Little Island Lake and is less than 0.5 miles from the ORV trails (Sand Lake ORV Trailhead). When the lake level is normal, we have a large sandy swimming area. Additionally, our cabin is located approximately 10 minutes from Corsair Trails, for hiking and groomed cross-country skiing. Only 20 minutes from Red Hawk Golf club in East Tawas. Be sure to check out Lumberman's Monument and Largo Springs in Oscoda. Enjoy the peace and quiet of this lake front home as you sit on the deck and enjoy your morning coffee. Lake side deck also has a patio table and new Weber gas grill allowing you to enjoy nice summer evenings with family and friends. Little Island Lake is shallow with a sandy bottom bottom along the shore and island when water levels are normal. We have a large sandy beach and sand toys for kids. Rental includes kayak’s (2), paddle boards (2), and corn hole. Additionally, the house has air conditioning, a washer and dryer, dishwasher, kitchen aid stand mixer, pots, pans, plates, bowls, cups, silverware, blender, electric pancake griddle, electric skillet, measuring utensils and includes sheets and bath towels. We have a baby gate already up at the bottom of the stairs, a booster seat to strap onto a chair, a pack n’ play, and a step stool in the bathroom for kids. Max of 10 people (not including infants <1 year of age). There are plenty of sleeping options with 2 bedroom’s on the main level (2 with queen beds) and a large loft (2 queen bed’s, 4 twin bed’s, and a full size futon). There is also a queen size sleeper sofa in the living room. Our home is located approximately 15 minutes from Tawas/Lake Huron (beaches and parks) and is less than 3 hours from Detroit. Cable TV and WiFi included.

Wonderful weekend & stay
The VRBO was exactly like the pictures/ post. We were lucky enough to come up with a group of friends to spend memorial weekend together on the lake and riding the ORV trails on our bikes. My boyfriend and I even got engaged this weekend which made the weekend and stay even more special. Super thankful for the awesome host and property, will be back!!!

Dog friendly lake house
I don't even know where to begin! We've been looking for a Northern MI lakefront property that would allow us to bring our two dogs. This was it! The host, Courtney, was absolutely amazing! She answered all my (many!) questions immediately and the check in process was seamless! Even though it rained for half of our stay, we still had an amazing time! The dogs loved the lake and played in it every day! This house had everything you could ever need! Just bring your clothes and food and you're all set. The grill worked great, firepit was awesome and we were able to even kayak. We are definitely going back! We found our spot - no need to look anywhere else!!!! Thank you, Courtney, for your hospitality and opening up your beautiful lake home to us and our fur babies!!!!

I can’t say enough about Courtney’s beautiful lake house. It is stocked with essentials, roomy enough for our family of 6 adults and one child, has 2 bathrooms, beds are all comfy, and the loft that sleeps 8 overlooking the lake is fabulous. This is our 5th fall staying at the house and will continue to return every fall.

Perfect R&R Place!
Courtney & her crew thought of everything to deliver a perfect place for some R&R! All the essentials are provided & the lake home and grounds have everything you need to enjoy time away! Being able to rent the pontoon from them rather than finding one from a marina was a huge bonus! The lake is small, but so peaceful! More a fun “catch & release” fishing spot than swimming, but we enjoyed both while we were there. Wonderful for kayaking… especially to the little island. Our kids loved that! The house gave plenty of space for everyone, while still feeling nice & cozy! (And so organized which adds to the peacefulness!) We’re so thankful to have had the opportunity to spend some overdue time away here!

70th Birthday Getaway
House was lovely! Just as in the description of the place. Had everything we needed while we were there. Weather was not good, which is always unpredictable, but we made the best of it by playing games and spending family time together. The only bad thing i can say is that the grill was filthy when we got there. We tried to clean it but it was so dirty we gave up and never did use it. It was too cold to eat outside anyway, so it didn't really ruin anything for us. The owner was very quick to respond whenever i had a question. The pontoon boat ran well and gave us some fun fishing time out on the lake. The area is very nice for a relaxing getaway! Overall, very nice!

The house was super clean and very well equip for outdoor activities, paddle boarding, kayaking, corn hole and a vey nice grill. The boat was perfect for a leisurely ride around the lake and to dock at the island. Good time for all.

Family vacation
Our 5th year to gather together as a family at a lake, best lake and cottage ever! The kids loved being able to jump in the water and play in the sand. We rented the pontoon and though the lake is small we still had fun driving around and fished- catch and release. The upstairs loft was amazing and offers so much sleeping room. The air conditioning and the ceiling fans really kept it cool. Deck is huge and we sat out there most of the time- shade in the late afternoon. Amenities were everything we needed and washer dryer were brand new. Kitchen well stocked and large table was perfect for playing cards. Tawas was a short drive away and on the rainy days we bowled and did axe throwing. The adventurous ones rented jet skis and spent time on Lake Huron, also has a wonderful beach park there and mini golf. Only 1.5 hrs to Frankenmuth water park, another rainy day place we went. Short drive to National Park and the drive along Lake Huron is always beautiful. We will always treasure the memories we made this year!
