Lake Huron Beach House - Spectacular Sunsets

Thanks for your review. We are glad you had a wonderful vacation and great weather with the spectacular sunsets.

Great Group and hope to see you all again.

Thank you for your review. There is an alternate way to the beach adjacent to our property with one flight of stairs. Toddlers/young children are most always tired out after a day to the beach and ask to be carried. Can be a burden for parents/grandparents especially on a hot summer day, whether or not there are stairs.

Glad you had fun. Weather seems to be very erratic and can never tell if it will rain or shine. Might even get snow in summer!!!

Thanks for your review and hopefully your girlfriend' recovers from her ankle injury. Unfortunately the property and beach is not accessible by wheelchair and is definitely difficult for someone on crutches. However, in our defence, this injury occurred before you arrived and was never mentioned to us until the review. The Stairs and 4 level split cottage are clearly mentioned in our description. There is a slope and 15 stair access point adjacent to our property for beach access as an alternative.

Boulders all over and depending on winter and storms can sometimes be covered in sand or exposes. If one goes further out, lake level water is only chest deep and there are very few boulders.

Thanks for the wonderful review. Yes water shoes are highly recommended as dependent on lake water levels and weather, rocks get exposed or covered up. This changes each year, each season.

This is one of the oldest cottages on the street and built a long time ago. Set up really works for 2 families who need their privacy. Basement is a walkout and amazing place for young teens to hang out together, with a walkout to the backyard/lakeside.

Thank you for your review. I agree that bathrooms are a little outdated, but very functional. No mildew on the grout and caulking as bathrooms always washed with bleach. The grout and caulking is just old and wearing out in a couple of spots. The plan to renovate all bathrooms will be late 2025.

NOT SURE WHO THIS IS AS DID NOT RENT ON SEPT 29TH, 2016 as kept the cottage for ourselves. . We have asked the VRBO administration to look into this and are still waiting for a reply. At least 70% OF OUR RENTERS ARE REPEAT RENTERS for over 4-5 yrs, some even 8 yrs. Some are seasoned renters and they definitely believe this cottage rental provides value for their money. We are now booking at least 1 year in advance. LOOK AT THE OTHER REVIEWS, MOST ARE 5 STAR RATINGS. They have also recommended us to family and friends, hence our high good occupancy rate. We have priced our rental based on other similar BEACH FRONT properties IN A FANTASTIC AND BEAUTIFUL LOCATION in the area, and the cost is comparable, if not lower for a group of 8-12 people/2-3 families.. Please look at our description on the main page and note that our rental cost is all inclusive with no hidden costs to us. Please note that in 2018 VRBO may charge a booking fee, but the renter is made aware of this before they book. Future renters, feel free to call or email us if you have any other questions and we will be happy to give you more details or talk to you.

Thank you for your wonderful review. We enjoyed having your group and glad you had fun. I always ask rental groups to bring water shoes and you never know what a storm will bring up from the bottom of the lake. Rocks sometimes revealed,. We once found a trampoline (gone now) further down from our beach.

Thank you for the 5 star review and we are glad you had a great time with your family. The house is a 4 split level with 3 sets of 6-8 steps between each level. Similar # of stairs to most 2 storey houses. The property continuously has upgrades done in the spring and fall each year. We do try to put photos/year taken of the beach area to give you the most current beach/water level look which changes almost daily dependant on the uncontrollable weather. It was all over the news in spring 2019 how the water levels were excessively high/flooding in our area and cottage country up north. . We did lose 6 ft depth of sand, hence exposing the retaining wall (not cliff) which more importantly protects the property/house from erosion effects. High water washed away the beach wooden steps and there was no easy access to our beach deck. In early July 2019, we built new railed 65 steps (5 landings) to the deck with removable dock steps to get to the water level.. Unfortunately we cannot control the high lake water levels, which just means less sandy beach. However, this is so much fun for young kids/adults and water sports, even fishing. May be a little more difficult with toddlers/seniors. However it is impossible to put 2020 beach photos for future 2020 beach renters who normally like to confirm their dates 6-12 months in advance. Sand/Waterlevels apparently follow a cyclical pattern so hopefully 2020 will have a better sandier bigger beach. We definitely agree that parents should always be 100% close to their toddlers on the slopes, and even on the flat surfaces near the roadside, beach and water. This is noted in the terms of agreement which you are asked to read and sign and return before the rental is accepted. We have not had issues when our children were toddlers and have had other reviews from guests with toddlers/ 3 year olds etc with no concerns re slopes/stairs so think one really has to make the decision to rent based on the personalities of the parent/child in their group. Once again, thank you for renting from us. Your group was very friendly and pleasant.

Thank You. A wonderful group of renters and communicated really well. We would love to rent to them again.

Kitchen and bathrooms fully renovated in Spring 2026.

Thank you for your review and we are glad you had a wonderful time. We hope to rent to you again. We will definitely look into and resolve the musty family room issue. ( has not been mentioned before as perhaps the windows/doors were kept open). Note that we have now in 2014 completely removed all the carpets in the cottage, hence no musty smell.

Thanks for your review. It was our pleasure hosting your group and hope to see you again.

A little surprised by this as renter texted that property was "amazing" and "everything was good" when they arrived. Further communication with the renter indicated that this was a minor issue which they noted quite a few hours after their large rental group had settled in and moved around, perhaps also causing some of it?. Communication could have been better from the renter as we would have discussed this with our professional maintenance crew who generally do a fantastic job as indicated in other reviews.

Great repeat renter and always a pleasure to rent to them. Yes, the beach was a bit unusual in 2021 but looks like it is recovering in 2022.

Thank you for the lovely review. We would love to rent to you again. Your family was amazing and very easygoing and flexible with all the erratic weather patterns. Glad you had a great time.

Thank You for your great review and we are very happy that you had a great vacation. It is always a pleasure to rent to a wonderful group who takes care of our property and gives us constructive feedback to make the cottage a beautiful experience for future renters. We look forward to seeing you again.

Thank you very much for the lovely review. I am so glad you and your family had a wonderful vacation. Wish we could control the weather for everyone. Looking forward to renting to you again next year.

Thank you for your wonderful review. I am glad everything worked out for your ladies group and look forward to renting to your family in the near future.
