Northern Exposure Oscoda Cottage

Beautiful new rental, sleeping 8, located just steps from Lake Huron.

This adorable year 'round cottage features classic tongue and groove cedar interior and is located a quick 2 minute walk to 3-Mile Beach. It is a beautiful sandy beach on Lake Huron, with a sandy bottom and crystal clear water. Known as the "Sunrise Coast", it offers spectacular sunrises and a quaint town with all major amenities. Located just minutes from the beautiful AuSable River, It's a fishermans dream! You can try your luck at Salmon, Steelhead, Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Walleye and Perch to name a few. Bring your own boat or take advantage of the many Fishing Charters available in the area.
There are numerous hiking and biking trails in the area as well as canoe and kayak rentals for the outdoor enthusiasts.
The cottage offers 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms with beds for 10 and 2 family rooms for gathering.
The cottage is inviting, cozy and comfortable. We welcome you to kick back on the wrap-around porch or enjoy the evening around the built-in fire pit. There is a galley kitchen with an antique bakers table that seats 6. There are 2 family area's to enjoy and a beautiful stone fireplace in the living room. (Please note that it is turned off during the summers). There are 2 downstairs bedrooms, one with a half bath. There is a full size bath with a tub/shower upstairs. There is another large bedroom upstairs that features 3 full-size beds. We provide all towels, linens and bedding, pots, pans, dishes, silverware - everything you might need to prepare your meals onsite. The cottage is well insulated and has a new furnace for chilly nights and central AC for warm nights. All bedding, mattresses, and sofas are brand new. We have made it easy to enjoy with everything you will need to make some great family memories. We also have 2 kayaks for your use as well as a great cart to transport kids and beach chairs to the beach
**We have opted to offer Damage Insurance at the cost of $55 for your stay in lieu of a refundable security deposit. It will be listed under fees as "Damage Insurance". This does not apply to AIRBNB bookings.

*WILDLIFE DISCLAIMER*

Coming to beautiful Northern Michigan includes the possibility of wildlife encounters. We have midges, spiders, mosquitos, occasionally black flies and an assortment of other insects. We spray regularly to keep them at a manageble level but we also don't want to damage the fragile ecosystem here. Note that where there is water, there will be spiders. They are very industrious and can build back a knocked down web within a day!
They are also great for controlling mosquitos and wasps, which we appreciate.

We treasure the wildness of the North and perhaps that is what attracts you.

Consider yourself lucky if you catch a glimpse of any of our other wild neighbors - black bear, wolves, deer, elk, coyote, fox, bobcats, porcupine, skunks, raccoons, eagles, hawks, squirrels, chipmunks and mice as well as a massive variety of birds.

We ask you to consider this before booking one of our cottages or cabins.

The presence of wildlife is part of the experience here and does not warrant a refund.

Great for a family

The location of this cabin was perfectly located to everything we wanted to do while we were on vacation, our only regret is we didn't stay longer! The cabin was great for our family of five; if I had to change anything we had wished there was a yard to kick a soccer ball around in or play some catch, but otherwise it was great and we would stay here again :)

Beautiful cabin!

This is one of the nicest rentals I’ve stayed at especially in the Oscoda area. We come up to visit family every year and are always looking for a place to stay. The location was great, super close to town and very close to the lake. The house was very clean, well taken care of and the kitchen had everything you would need to cook meals. We would definitely come back again!

Great stay up north

We came from Georgia to enjoy a break from the heat, some golf and family time. The home was great for our needs. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked and time at the fire pit was relaxing. The short walk to Lake Huron was easily navigated. Lake activities, golf and kayaking on the AuSable river were all close by. We would highly recommend a stay at this home.

Great location! Cozy cabin feel!

Loved the location, short drive to town and a few minutes walk from a peaceful beach. We had some rainy days so we spent time in the home playing games and watching a movie in the upstairs loft. We loved having a fire pit to make smores. The home was very well equipped and organized...especially the kitchen-which is so helpful when traveling as a family. My one recommendation would be a few more plastic cups...I get nervous with my kids using glass at rental homes. Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Country Charmer

Fabulous interior (oak), very nicely decorated, and all the amenities of home you may need. Comfortable and inviting. Nice wrap-around deck. Good location (just north of Oscoda), roadside park across the street.

weekend in Oscoda

Theproperty itself was nice and the location was great. the oudoor space was great for adults and children. The firepit was a big hit each nite. The cooking space was extremely limited, little to no counter space.

Beautiful property that suited 6 adults very nicely. The home is well appointed and so comfortable. Lk Huron is a short walk away and a definite "must visit". We would be happy to return!
