À propos de cet hĂ©bergement

A Spacious Lakefront Home Designed for Real Gatherings and Time Together

This home was created for people who want to spend time together without feeling crowded.

The layout is intentionally generous, balancing shared spaces with quiet places to step away. Guests often comment on how quickly the house settles into “home”—how easy it is to relax, cook real meals, and simply be present once everyone arrives.

Mornings are calm. Evenings unfold naturally. The house supports connection without effort and rest without retreating.

The Home
This is a spacious, thoughtfully designed lakefront home that works exceptionally well for families, multi-generational groups, and friends traveling together. The layout allows everyone to spread out comfortably while still gathering easily.

Guests consistently mention how welcoming the home feels—comfortable rather than delicate, lived-in rather than sterile.

“It has a comfortable feeling like you are truly welcome there—not uptight or sterile.”

The living areas are designed for real use: conversation, games, shared time, and unhurried evenings.

Kitchen & Shared Meals
The kitchen is fully stocked and designed for actual cooking, not just light prep. Seating, flow, and workspace support shared meals and lingering conversations.

This is something guests call out repeatedly:
“The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed.”
“We cooked every night and didn’t feel limited at all.”

Many guests note that once they arrive, they don’t feel the need to leave.

Sleeping & Comfort
Beds are frequently praised for comfort, and bedrooms offer privacy and quiet after full days together. The home sleeps large groups without feeling like everyone is stacked on top of each other.

“Plenty of room. We never felt crowded, even with a large group.”

Bathrooms are clean, well-maintained, and stocked for convenience.

Outdoor Space
The outdoor areas extend the livability of the home. The yard, patio, dock, and fire pit provide space to gather or step away depending on the moment.

Spring brings peaceful mornings and returning wildlife. Summer brings long evenings and time spent outside together. The lakefront setting is calm and private, making it easy to relax without outside distractions.

For Families & Groups
Families appreciate the space, layout, and kid-friendly design. Adults appreciate the quiet, comfort, and ability to relax without managing the house. It works equally well for celebrations, reunions, and simply staying put together.

“Perfect for our family gathering.”
“We made so many memories here.”

What Guests Say Most Often
“The photos don’t do this house justice.”
“It exceeded our expectations.”
“Everything was thought of.”
“We didn’t want to leave.”

Guests also consistently mention responsive, attentive hosting and clear communication before and during their stay.

This is a home for guests who value comfort, space, and meaningful time together more than flash. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll feel at ease here.

Other things to note:
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!

Family time

We were visiting family from out of town and we had a wonderful time. We loved the house, we were able to relax and enjoy the views of the lake while accommodating our large family. Matt and Marry were excellent hosts, we would love to stay in their home again. The house was perfect for my family, I already tried to book it again for August but it’s already booked up. Great stay!

Great Family Vacation Spot!

We booked this property to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday as a family and it was a perfect spot for us. My dad loves to fish and the outdoors so he was so pleased. The home was clean and well stocked and just lile the photos.

Our small wedding experience

The house is beautiful and well maintained. It has a great view out onto the lake with a large sun room. New Year's was a bit chilly but we did take several walks on the beach. I'm sure that would be a fantastic beach to enjoy in the summer. Hope to visit again with friends and family, when it's warm.

Easter weekend getaway

Cannot say enough about this property and the owners. Seamless from start to finish communication was great the booking process was very simple the house was gorgeous inside and out tons of space super comfortable beds we really love the giant refrigerator and freezer. The only negative part was that there wasn't a whole lot to do in the area. Not many great restaurants around. a few Pub and Bar type things but we had to go to Tawas to get a decent steak. Which isn't horrible it's only about a 20 minute drive or so other than that? It was perfect LOL

Best lake house

Highly recommend this property! The pictures don't even do it justice. The place was so clean and spacious, comfortable and beautiful! There was enough space for the large family and amenities galore. We made use of the fully stocked kitchen, grill, firepit, kayaks, life jackets and the boat! They had everything you could need with extra lawn chairs, lawn games, beach towels, etc. Responsive and helpful hosts. We all loved our stay and would stay again!

Slight critique

Your home is beautiful, and we loved the view! The availability of charging outlets, snacks, and large sized rooms were an added touch. We all noticed that there were no tissues in the house. And the tub and shower both could use either grab bars or Textured floors to reduce the possibility of falls.

Family Wedding Gathering

This property and its owners really delivered a quality experience for me and my family during our stay in Oscoda for a wedding near Alpena. From a much appreciated gift basket to a well organized welcome booklet, nothing seemed to be overlooked. One of our family members is wheelchair bound, Matt and Mary were able to confirm room layouts and accommodations prior to our stay. Once at the property, we were really impressed by the room sizes and how well the large gathering spaces allowed for great family time. By far our favorite moments were spent around the campfire in the evenings. My wife commented that this was one of her favorite rentals, and I would agree.

Fantastic Getaway for Family

We were impressed from the minute we pulled into the driveway. House and grounds were perfect. Our group ranged in age from 1-69yrs old. The owners have covered every want need to make your stay fun and enjoyable. From kayaks to board games - they even had a fishing pole which delighted our 12 yr old grandson. Did he catch a fish you ask? He sure did! Right off the end of the dock. Evening fire to finish off the day was the perfect way to unwind before bed. Will definitely book again!

3 Generation Family Gathering

We stayed at Redwood Retreat for a long weekend (TH - M) in the middle of May. Unfortunately it was cooler than we had hoped for, but that didn't prevent us from taking advantage of the good fishing right off the dock, and roasting marshmallows each night in the lakeside firepit. The yard was huge - it provided plenty of space for playing yard games and privacy from neighbors. The house was more than adequate for our family of 3 couples, and 2 kids - 1 1/2 and 3 1/2 years old. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and food storage. The house was very close to town - easy to run into the store or visit the bowling alley on a rainy day, but gave the feeling of being away from it all when we were there. Our hosts, Matthew and Mary responded quickly and helpfully when we reached out with questions a couple of times. We would definitely return during warmer months to take advantage of the kayaks and row boat on the beautiful lake.

Perfect getaway!

My family and I have stayed in dozens of different rentals all over the country and this house thought of all of the little things, that made this beautiful home perfect for us! Small little thoughtful things, like having hooks in the showers to hang your washrags or razors, to having zip lock bags available for use, to having a snack welcoming basket! The place was very clean, spacious for the 11 of us that stayed there and the view and amenities outside did not disappoint either! There were kayaks to use, that our kids loved and a rowboat to use as well. The owners were awesome to work with and very accommodating and quick to answer any questions we had! The kitchen was so easy to cook in and having the washer and dryer was an added bonus! I would HIGHLY recommend this beautiful home!

Family Fun Vacation

My wife and I, along with our three daughters, their spouses and our grandchildren have been using VRBO for our annual family vacations. We have been in Charlevoix, Traverse City, South Haven, Lewiston, Saugatuck and Louisville, Kentucky to name a few our destinations. This year we decided to try the sun rise side of Michigan and are glad we did. The property we chose is the Redwood Retreat on Lake Van Etten in Oscoda, MI. The property was immaculate with all the amenities a family would need. The lake was used for swimming, fishing and using the supplied kayaks. There was plenty of room for 7 adults and four grandkids. We are a family who loves to cook and everything we needed to prepare our meals was there. The individual temperature controls in each bedroom was a bonus. We had movie night and game night in the sunroom, and spent a third night enjoying a bonfire by the Lake. This place is perfect for family fun. There is plenty to do in Oscoda area, including nearby golf. We played Serradella at Lakewood Shores, just minutes from the Retreat.Out of all the places we stayed at, this one is the only one that gets 5 stars. We are planning to return next year. We would like to thank our hosts, Mary and Matt for all the information they supplied about the home and area! Thank you!M. L. Witkowski

À propos de l’hîte

HÎte : Matthew and Mary Santala

Image de profil de l’hîte
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

Voici pourquoi l’hĂŽte a choisi cet hĂ©bergement

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 cafĂ©s. 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.

Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement 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.
