About this property

SandyCabins Duplex Beach House - Lake Side Cabin

This knotty pine duplex cabin is situated above a private barking sand beach on the beautiful Lake Huron. With a fire pit, a butterfly garden, and lots of sand, this charming cabin is the perfect place for a large family holiday or a group trip to the beach.
Our cabin sits right on the water with direct access to our private beach which you’ll share with the guests in the Garden Side Cabin. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of sand for everyone!
A charcoal grill awaits your brats or steaks or whatever was on sale at Walt’s Meat Market across the street.
This can be a quiet romantic getaway for long walks on the beach, or an exciting family splash fest with fire roasted hot dogs and scorched marshmallows. We ask our guests to leave the cabin as they found it.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great location, beautiful beach! We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay. I would have liked some of the weed brush to be trimmed to have a open view of the water as the pictures on-line show, and the inside wood beams dusted, but other than that it was great.

Paul was great to deal with and answered all of my questions before we got there. The place was very clean and had all the comforts of home. We enjoyed the view, the fire pit every night and all the walks on the beach with our fur babies. We were also blessed with wonderful weather. Thanks Paul!
