✅ This property has special local compliance requirements, which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $40 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.

To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.

If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!

About the host

Hosted by Matthew and Mary Santala

Host profile image
We’re Matt & Mary, hosts of Redwood Retreat and founders of The Waypoint Collection. We’re based in Michigan and have always loved the peaceful beauty of the north—especially in winter, when the world slows down and the lakes and forests feel almost magical.

Some of our favorite memories come from spending time up north with family—watching our nieces play in the snow, sharing meals together, and enjoying those quiet winter mornings that feel like a reset. Creating spaces where other families can make memories just like that is why we love hosting.

We enjoy traveling, exploring new places, and finding little ways to make people feel welcomed and cared for. Our goal is to offer comfort, thoughtful details, and a sense of calm—so your stay feels effortless, cozy, and meaningful.

We’re grateful to share Redwood Retreat with you and hope it brings warmth and joy to your getaway.

—Matt & Mary

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it captures everything we love about being up north—peace, natural beauty, and a true sense of escape. Nestled along a quiet inland lake, the area feels especially magical in winter: snow-covered pines, still mornings, and the kind of calm you don’t get in busy vacation towns.

What we enjoy most is the balance. It’s peaceful and private, yet close to everything that makes Oscoda special—Lake Huron’s winter shoreline, the River Road Scenic Byway, sledding hills, scenic trails, and small-town shops and cafés. The neighbors are friendly, the nights are quiet, and the views are unforgettable in every season.

It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the simple beauty of Michigan’s winter.

What makes this property unique

Redwood Retreat stands out for its blend of comfort, thoughtful details, and the peaceful beauty of a true up-north winter. The home sits directly on a quiet inland lake, giving guests stunning snowy lake views, soft winter sunrises, and a serene backdrop you rarely find so close to town.

Inside, the spacious layout, fully stocked kitchen, and three-season sunroom create a cozy, welcoming space for families and friends to gather. Guests love our game room, kid-friendly touches, and the way the house is designed for both connection and relaxation.

What really makes it unique is the feeling—calm, private, and comforting. It’s a place where you can slow down, enjoy winter’s quiet charm, and make memories together in a home that feels thoughtfully prepared for every season.
