About this property
Lakehouse on Lake Huron, Mermaid Coast Cottages
NO ADDTIONAL FEES! No cleaning fees or pet fees. Adorable space, old fashioned cottage right on Lake Huron. Large unclosed porch with bar. Fireplace and wood burning stove for heat. This cottage has the best views of the property and by far the best place to watch the sunrise. This is a very old log cabin with original everything. It is around 100 years old and has tons of charm. The bedroom is an addition behind the chimney so you get to wake up to old beautiful brick work to your right and the gorgeous sunrise to your right through original single glass windows. The enclosed porch is the best place for drinking your morning coffee and watching Lake Huron in all it's beauty. There are two dining tables for all your meals and a cute little dry bar to enjoy your evening brews. The kitchen has a stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot and toaater for all your cooking needs. The other addition off the back of the cabin has an updated bathroom with a small but brand new shower. We supply electric heaters for those cold nights but there is also a wood burning stove and electric fan to keep you warm if you prefer the old ways. We also supply box fans for those warm days to help pull that cool lake air in. There is a private deck with a charcoal grill, fire pit and patio furniture. This property has only the owners home and two other cottages so your time here will be quiet and peaceful. You largely get Lake Huron to yourself. Host lives on site and is available whenever home to assist guests with their needs. The property has two other cottages and owners home. There are a lotof trees and not many neighbors. It's quiet and peaceful. We have many many bird species and lots of black squirrels and chipmunks to watch. Lake Huron is right outside the cabin for beautiful views. There is a deck and table with grill and fire pit for Lakehouse guests. There is also hammock and picnic table at the water for all guests to enjoy. Bring your bike and take a ride down Baldwin Resort Rd to Tawas Beach where you can take the bike lane all the way to the Tawas Point State Park or into town. This property sits on wooded sand dunes next to Lake Huron. It is rural and quiet. However, because it is next to the lake and in the woods we share our property with nature. We take every precaution to keep nature outside but this is a 1950's log cabin and sometimes nature comes in anyway. Wifi is functional but slow. Not recommended for streaming. We have a two night minimum requirement.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Outstanding view of the lake. Very charming house with a lot of nice amenities. Great location. Perfect for travel with our small dog. Close to restaurants and shopping. Host contacted us several times to see if we needed anything. Great getaway for a couple. Would definitely stay there again.
We had a great experience. The house was beautiful along with the outside directly on the lake. The hosts were great about helping with anything that we may have needed. Would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful time. This is a really special property, with an amazing view of Lake Huron, and the hosts are so friendly and accommodating. One of the few places we actually plan to return to, because we enjoyed it so much!
This lakeside cabin is wonderful. So quiet, quaint and perfect in many ways. If you are looking for a relaxing time away, this is the place. Not to mention the beautiful views of Lake Huron while sitting in the enclosed porch watching the sunrise. 🌅
The views and scenery were amazing. We absolutely enjoyed our time there. It was very relaxing and a great weekend getaway to recharge. The place has been well kept and the host always had quick responses. We would definitely recommend this lake house as well as stay there again.
Cozy, private and beautiful!

A lil rustic but cute!
Beautiful views and close to town! Sun porch is very nice but can get real warm. A little tough without the air conditioning but there are fans to help with that and the breeze from the lake. The bed is nice and comfy.
My cousin and I came up for a get away. The cabin was perfect. Miss Huron was fierce and her waves were so soothing. We had a toasty fire all weekend and when we got low on wood, Q was right there restocking us. House was immaculate. We’d stay again for sure! Great location.
We wanted a week of relaxation and that is exactly what we got. Awesome view of Lake Huron. We had coffee on the deck every morning. The listing was very accurate. Hosts had great communication. We will definitely be back.

Thank you Ryan, we look forward to your next stay.
What a cool house! Would love to stay here again for now I'm just happy to know it exists. Sounds and feels like the waves are crashing underneath the house. Very dog friendly, great hosts! Can't say enough, thank you again !
If you want to get away to relax with an amazing view, couldn't recommend this place enough. We spent a lot of time outside enjoying the sounds of the waves, but if we weren't doing that, then we resorted to the spacious patio overlooking the lake.
Q and Jenn were very nice and communication was always swift leading up to our visit. We appreciate you welcoming us to your lakehouse and look forward to coming back!
