About this property

Lakehouse on Lake Huron, Mermaid Coast Cottages

This beautiful log cabin is decorated in original up north vibes. It sits feet from Lake Huron for a peaceful and private view. Wake up to the sunrise from your bedroom window and enjoy the wonderful views of the lake from a rocking chair in the sunroom facing the water. When the sun sets enjoy the beautiful Milky Way in all its glory from the deck.

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.

Relaxing and Perfect

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 morning view is absolutely beautiful and evening stars is best. Jennifer was great with communication too. Our dog got mad cuz we decided it was time for him to go in and he got mad and locked us out lol. Knocked on door of Jennifer house and she was so wonderful at 930pm to give us extra key to put our dog in time out mode. The location is 5 minutes from state park to take dog to beach. Definitely great place

Cousin/Sister get away

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.

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 !

Beautiful View!

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!
