This was our second year staying at this quaint cabin on a very private stretch of Lake Huron sugar sand beach. The cabin is very close to local attractions such as Iargo Springs and the Ausable River in addition to very good restaurants. Being pet friendly is a big draw as we love taking our dogs with us when we travel. The on site hot tub is also a great way to end the evenings in the woods.

My husband, myself, and our two dogs really enjoyed our getaway at Tim and Sandy’s cottage. We truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. The cottage was cozy, comfortable and stocked with everything we could need. The best part was the access to the beach- we took beach walks every morning and played with our dogs on the beach every day.We always had an abundance of firewood for our nightly campfires as well.We came home so refreshed and relaxed- we can’t wait to return!

Amazing little gem on Lake Huron

We LOVED our stay at the cottage. It is cozy, well stocked and in a great location. The shores of Lake Huron are just steps out the door.The furniture is comfortable and it is a very easy living space.We loved sitting on the deck, the bird feeders were stocked and the birds were everywhere.We enjoyed walking the beach and jet skiing on Cedar Lake, which has public access 2 minutes away. It was wonderfully relaxing and rejuvenating. We could not have asked for a better location and look forward to returning for another stay.

Peaceful retreat

We absolutely loved our stay in this cozy retreat. The property is beautiful and very quiet despite being on a busy road. The beach access was amazing, our two dogs absolutely loved running down the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed watching all the birds, squirrels, chipmunks play in the yard around the bird feeders. That was my favorite part! House was very cozy and had everything we needed for a long weekend. We enjoyed cooking, reading, and relaxing. Good location close to Oscada (we did a day trip to lumberman’s monument), Tawas and Sturgeon Lighthouse. Overall, perfect beach getaway!

Greenbush Hideaway

Beautiful cabin built in 1940 perfectly set back from the shore on Lake Huron. We met with the proprietor, Tim Reed, and met his son-in-law. The cabin was lovingly cared for and all was comfy cozy! We prepared and ate our meals in the kitchen/dining area, spending Easter Sunday there! Watched the beautiful sunrise and colored eggs! We hope to return when flowers and trees are in bloom! Thanks to the Reeds!
