You will enjoy fantastic views of Lake Huron, Bois Blanc Island and freighters passing by from the cozy living, dining, and kitchen area of this newly remodeled cottage; it has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, high speed internet and air conditioning if needed. There are a few books to enjoy in the living room, the second floor has many games and puzzles to have fun with as well as a table for those who need space to do some work while away from home. The beautiful sandy/rocky beach is just steps away from the cottage where you can sunbathe, swim (water shoes are nice to have when swimming here), take peaceful strolls or go rock hunting. During the peak of summer there are amazing sunrises over the lake in the morning and sunsets in the evening with Mackinac Bridge in the background!!! Located in Cordwood Point Association, you are only 15 minutes from the town of Cheboygan and less than a half hour from Mackinaw City, there are many things to do in the area. Go hiking on trails at Cheboygan State park just down the road, bring a picnic and play in the Lower Peninsula’s largest waterfall, Ocqueoc Falls, head to Quarry View in Rogers City to see the world’s largest limestone quarry, in St. Ignace you can climb the stairs to the top of Castle Rock then take your picture with Paul Bunyan and Babe his blue ox or visit the many Lighthouses in the area. Go toward Mackinaw City and catch the Jack Pine Lumberjack Shows, spend some time at Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park, take a trip in the evening to the Headlands International Dark Sky Park. Spend the day shopping in downtown Cheboygan, Mackinaw City or St. Ignace while also checking out some of the many excellent restaurants. Bring your kayaks and paddle boards to explore the coastline, bring bikes to travel the Lake Huron shoreline on the Huron Sunrise Trail, an 11 mile bike path from 40 Mile Point Lighthouse to South Shore Park in Rogers City with many stops in between, the roads in the association are also great for bike riding or taking walks. Check out the four parks in the association also. Spring, Summer or Fall, it’s always beautiful!!!

What an amazing place! We absolutely loved the easy access to a gorgeous beach. Each night we sat around the fire pit and watched the sunset while listening to the waves. Thanks for allowing us to stay in this beautiful place.

Our stay was fantastic. We saw the many sites in the area but were always eager to come back to the house. Next to Lake Huron, we enjoyed watching the waves, the various birds, the freighters navigating the lake (especially at night with their lights on), the bright stars sitting on the beach in the evening and last but not least...the wonderful sunsets. The home was immaculate providing all our needs. No doubt we will be back!

FVR RESPONSE:

Fantastic home with great views
Wow! What a fantastically comfortable and clean home! We booked this for a little family get away with our Michigan family. The home was clean, well stocked, and nicely remodeled. The VIEWS are outstanding and the beach refreshing with its beautiful sunsets. Not to mention the lovely fire pit perfect for catching up with each other at the end of the day. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again if I’m the area.

Perfect in every way!
We held “Grammy Camp” over a 3 night stay in this super well equipped, lovely, cozy cottage. Grandma and 2 twelve year old boys and one 20 year old girl had the best time swimming, having campfires, stargazing (meteors were sited!), and on the on and off rainy day, the kids put the well stocked game room to good use! We toured several historic spots, and we went to Ocqueoc Falls which the kids loved. I can’t say enough about how thoughtful the layout is and how well equipped this cottage is!

This was my favorite place to stay on lake Huron. The lake is right on the backyard and is an easy walk. It is very serene and peaceful. The cabin was one of the nicest I have stayed in. It has everything you need for an extremely comfortable stay. I was going to explore but instead just stayed on the backyard and the beach! I will definitely be coming back to this place! I can't recommend this place enough.

FVR RESPONSE:

Beautiful lake front home!
We had a fantastic family vacation! The house is very clean and was enough space for our family of 5. While the weather the week we stayed was on the cooler side, our kids still enjoyed playing on the beach and in the water. Gorgeous sunsets every night often from the fire pit! Quiet, relaxing - highly recommend!

SarAndy, we love hearing that you had a fantastic family vacation! We appreciate your recommendation, and what excellent guests you were. We hope to work with you again. - Claire, FVR

Awesome vacation home!
The property was very clean and in great condition. Pretty sure it’s very new. The view was absolutely amazing. Loved the patio and fire pit located right out the back door with a beautiful view of Lake Huron! We plan to make this a yearly getaway! Only downside was a million mayflies but not the fault of the property, just May in northern Michigan. Loved it!!

FVR RESPONSE:

We're so glad you enjoyed the stunning view, patio, and fire pit right by Lake Huron , William. . We’re thrilled to hear you plan to make it a yearly tradition! Yes, those Mayflies are a part of northern Michigan in spring, but we're glad they didn’t detract from your stay. You were wonderful guests, and we can’t wait to welcome you back next year! -Van FVR
