We enjoyed our week at the Greenbush Cottage. It is a rustic cottage in the woods as described. It had everything we needed.
We had one thing to discuss w the owner/property manager during our stay, they were both VERY responsive which we appreciated. The cottage is spacious with loads of rustic charm. Some things could use an update, though it is a great value the way it is.
I can not say enough about the FANTASTIC beach and lake access, this part of the property is a 5 out of 5 stars for sure! We enjoyed nearly every glorious sunrise, walked the beach each morning, and played in the soft sand and crystal clear water all day. We felt the water was fairly warm (it’s Northern MI, so we knew it would be cold, though it was delightful!) We rarely saw other people, we truly felt like we had the beach to ourselves. SO RELAXING! We heard birds chirping every day and saw a fox one morning on the walk. The breeze from the lake was just amazing, Coming through the cottage kept everything so cool and nice, I loved just standing and watching the water and feeling that breeze, also so nice to hear the waves crashing in at night.
We rented a paddle board and kayak for 2 days from Tyler at North Country Canoe rental in Oscoda, we really enjoyed the water toys and Tyler was great to deal with. We took one day trip and visited Alpena, Ocqeoc Falls, Rogers City, Presque Isle along Heritage route 23. One day trip to Grayling and did an 8 mike kayak trip down the AuSable river- AWESOME!
We enjoyed meals, ice cream and sand volleyball in Oscoda and lunch in Tawas.
We played board games every evening, the time with our children was absolutely wonderful, and will always be remembered and cherished!
Thank you!
