Handicap Friendly: Let us explain what we mean by handicap friendly…there is a zero-1 step entry into this home, and it is one level (a ranch-style home). The bathrooms and hallways are not up to official handicap standards and do not come equipped with special apparatus to help those in need.

Hot tub: A 6-person hot tub was added this spring!

Internet:  Yes...StarLink added in 2023!

Linens: Yes, we provide your sheets and linens. Just like a hotel, the beds will be made for you upon arrival. If you are fussy about the thread count of your sheets, just let me know, and I’ll make sure we leave a bed open for your sheets. We have just the basic sheets, pillows, pillow cases and bath towels.

Outdoor Shower: To wash off a fun day in the sand there is an outdoor shower for you to rinse off. 

Parking: PLEASE BE CAREFUL when it comes to turning around. It is easy to get your car/truck/trailer stuck in the sand.  Tows are not easy in the U.P. Up to 5 cars can park comfortably or a 2 truck/trailer combo. EV car Charger on site

Pets: Dogs are welcome (up to 3)! Freshwater Vacation Rentals currently charges $75/per pet for your entire stay. Yes, we do accept dogs, yet we do ask that you please clean up after them both inside and outside the cabin. Plus, if you allow them on the furniture, we do ask that you please bring your own linens/blankets for them to sleep on.  Just let us know which bed you will be using with them, and we’ll make sure it is ready for your sheets when you arrive. Plus, if the pet hair starts to build, we do ask that you please run the vacuum. Generally, dogs love the water and places to explore. Pet food does tend to attract mice, so vigilance is needed.

Privacy: It is a very private space.


Seniors:Come one, come all! This space is great for those over 60. Sometimes when renting a home, you are never too sure about the terrain: is the home on top of a hill, is parking on a steep slope, are there 100 steps to the beach or the unit, etc. This home gets the FVR approval for the young at heart!


Snowmobiles:  a person (resident and nonresident) that operates a snowmobile in Michigan is required to purchase a snowmobile trail permit. The trail permit enables snowmobilers to ride state-designated trails and thousands more miles of public roads and on public lands (where authorized). It is valid for one year, which begins Oct. 1 and ends Sept. 30 of the following year. State-designated trails are open Dec. 1-March 31 and grooming occurs when there is enough snow on the ground. Click here to purchase your snowmobile trail permit.

Reviews

We had a great stay, our second in two years. We love the feeling of being out in nature and the sense of privacy. This year our “neighbors” were two bald eagles we saw on the beach every morning while watching the sun rise over Lake Michigan. Some practical things to consider: the nearest grocery store is Jack’s in Manistique. Best to stop there before you arrive, it’s more than a short drive. And, take them seriously when they tell you to arrive during daylight! I wouldn’t want my first drive down the single-track access lane to be in the dark! If I were planning to stay there in the winter, I would check with the management company first to make sure my vehicle was up to it. When we arrived we found the EV charger not working, but we contacted the management company and they worked hard to make it right in less than 24 hours, even though it was a weekend.

Better than advertised! I was looking to escape the hustle & bustle of Chicago with my dogs and this place delivered. We enjoyed the cabin-like feel of the house, strolls along the beach, kayaking, and relaxing on the deck/screened in patio. The screened in patio was my favorite spot to enjoy coffee and sunrises. We also explored the surrounding area - hiking in state and national parks. The property and the UP of Michigan is a great getaway!

The location is amazing!!!! I will definitely stay again, but for longer. The lake is just perfect. I could sit in the screened porch forever. Beautiful lake breeze without any of the bugs. Thank you for a great stay.

We booked this property for our annual family vacation and this one will be hard to beat! The location is top notch and photos don’t even do it justice! Large, beautiful, private beach was perfect for the young kids and dogs we had traveling with us. It is off the beaten path but the host provided great directions so none of us had issues finding it. The home is a cozy beach cabin vibe with a very large screened in porch. We were unable to figure out the settings on the hot tub but the host was quick to respond and we got the issue resolved! 10/10 recommend!

We have not taken a family vacation since 2018 and wanted to make sure our family vacation this year was truly something special. This vacation rental did not let us down! The house was great and we all loved the beach and swimming in Lake Michigan. The Buckler Family highly recommends this place as it has all you need to create great family memories.

Amazing
We stayed at this property for 7+days. The property was well maintained, the house was adorable and homey. The view and beach were beautiful. It seemed like we were alone due to the amount of woods and beach front. Would highly recommend. About 20 min from town and a really nice grocery store.

It was exactly what we expected. Such a great spot. The house was clean and super cute. Beds were comfy and the beach was lovely. We adored the privacy of it all. Absolutely loved that they are dog friendly. We had a great time and would definitely come back. Just FYI for those with bee allergies. I have a son with a fatal bee allergy and there were so many bees; just make sure you don’t forget the epi pins!! Closest hospital is approximately 18 minutes by car.

We had such an awesome time here! The weather was beautiful and the house is a true beach house with fantastic views. One of coolest places we have ever stayed. The dog loved it just as much as we did. We took many walks along the beach. Really hope to come back someday.

The place is beautiful, arriving to the location can be challenging strongly advice following their extensive instructions very closely, the gps will not be helpful to find the exact property unless you have the longitude and latitude via a pin, which you can call and have them share it with you. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, if you are seeking serenity, and a timeless experience then this is the gem you been looking for. We look forward to returning next Fall.

Property is beautiful, peaceful, and private. Cabin is cozy and had everything you would need. Appreciated the Starlink wi-fi. Property is better than pics. We saw two bald eagles on the beach. Mostly spent our time relaxing, listening to the waves and walking the beach. Thank you for allowing dogs, they loved the beach! Town is close for groceries. The only thing I can say negative is the downstairs mattress is uncomfortably soft. Loved this property and plan on returning!!!!

Beautiful beach getaway!
Great communication. Everything as described in listing. The beach was beautiful. We enjoyed the sunrise in the morning and bonfires at night. Close to several golf courses, Kitchitikipi, waterfall hikes, and Fayette State park.

Great cabin on your own beach. Very private, yet not far from all the cool U.P. spots. Screen room is awesome.

End of the road, extremely peaceful and exactly what we needed to get away from everything for a few days. Beautiful view, very clean and they even provided firewood for a couple enjoyable evenings by the fire. We highly recommend Freshwater for great communication and follow-through. They were perfect hosts and provided a perfect place

Second year and it was great
We stayed here last summer and booked again for this summer. It was lovely- the cottage is quiet and easy to stay in. It was hotter than we expected and I picked up an extra box fan for the cottage- it was really nice to have that one running on the main floor on the very low wind days we had (like weirdly no wind days- after the first I ran into town and grabbed a fan for the first floor to move the air). The washer did have a leak in it- which we discovered late in the week and I sent in an email to the management company. I don't know if anything was done about it but I would hate for the bathroom to have any damage if the leak goes unattended. The cottage is too cute. I realized about 3 hours into our drive home that I forgot to remove our ice cream in the freezer- I am so sorry. I do recommend that others give this place a try- we have had two lovely weeks here (in 2022 and 2023)

Relaxing and secluded
We loved our stay at Shoreline Oasis. The beach was fantastic. The home had enough space for 4 adults and 2 dogs. The screen porch was a favorite. Communication with Freshwater Vacation Rentals was easy with prompt responses.

FVR RESPONSE: 

Thank you for sharing your review Karri! It's great to know that your group (dogs included) had a great stay, and found communication with our team to be a pain-free experience! Hopefully we can have you back for a future stay!

Awesome beachfront property. Great for relaxing in sun and sand. We needed a place we could bring the dog. Felt remote.

Thank you so much for allowing pets!
Thank you all so very much for allowing pets at this Wonderful beach retreat! It was the first time our ENTIRE family could vacation together :) It was the most perfect, relaxing vacation and we cannot wait to come back! The cottage is so cozy and the views are spectacular! As a teacher- I really could live here all summer! We thought maybe the previous guests were mistaken, but we saw the porcupine too! We stayed for 5 nights and even want to leave the property! Again, thank you so much for sharing this place!

Would recommend for those needing to away from everyday life
This house was just the perfect spot for our honeymoon! The view was absolutely breathtaking, my husband and I found ourselves looking out over the lake as the sun set each night! We ran into a few neighbors and they were so kind and friendly to us. The peace from outside life was a blessing. We will recommend this house to family and friends if they ever need to get away from everyday life! Thank you again for giving us this opportunity to experience such a fantastic vacation spot!

This was our first vacation in about 13 years and it was wonderful. The way the beach changes everyday, the porcupine, the bald eagle, the breeze, and the accommodations were all delightful. I drew a picture of the property and will email it to you all. Thank you! ------------------------------------- It was great. We saw a bald eagle and a porcupine. We did the Pictured Rocks in Munising cruise and it was wonderful. We came all the way from Grand Rapids -Kingsley

We enjoyed every minute, and the dogs loved it just as much!
We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived! We enjoyed the beach house. Joe and I never wanted to leave because it was so peaceful here. If you are sitting outside or in the house, there was always a beautiful view. We will return next year! Our dogs loved it as much as we did. We enjoyed every minute. We LOVE this place. It's our paradise!

We loved every second of our stay
Our family is originally from downriver Detroit. I live in Wabash Indiana, my brother and his family live in Fort Drum NY, my sister and her family live in Melvindale MI. We came up here to spread our mother's ashes in the UP. Our stay was amazing. We loved every second of it. Our family will definitely be back next year.

Such a beautiful place! Very much what we needed to regroup and reconnect. We saw lots of wildlife right outside the window. A porcupine wandered by. We seen an eagle many times. Everyday a mama and daddy goose walked by with their 7 babies. We also enjoyed all the state parks. Fayette Historic State Park was a great place for kids and adults alike. Kitch-iti-kipi was pretty as well. A great time had by all! ------------------------------------------------------------- The home provided all the things we needed. It was comfy, we turned on 2 fans upstairs one night. The beach and chairs were relaxing. The bald ealge was sooooo cool!

We didn't think a place like this existed!
What a breathtaking view everywhere you look! Peaceful, revitalizing, comforting, fun family time. We enjoyed the kayaks and a few of our own inflatables we brought from home. Walks on the beach, reading, volleyball, football catch, frisbee, and listening to the waves were our other activities. There was no need to turn on the TV! I will admit there was a little phone time though :) Didn't think a place like this existed; reminds me how beautiful God's creation is. Hope this will be a new family tradition!

Totally worth it
Such an amazing secluded cottage yet still close enough to local attractions. We could not have asked for a better cottage for my family. Right on the water clean rustic secluded.

Shoreline Oasis
This was a great location on the beach. My only suggestion is to provide the directions with approximate miles.

FVR RESPONSE:

Hi Tami, thank you for letting us know that our directions may need to be updated. We love knowing that you enjoyed your time at the cottage, and getting to take in the feel of having your own beach on Lake Michigan! Hopefully we can have you back!

Beautiful and Peaceful Location
We enjoyed our stay at Shoreline Oasis. It was amazing to be able to walk out the front door and be on the beach of Lake Michigan. The location was beautiful, peaceful, and perfect. Enjoyed sitting on the many outdoor chairs and on the screened-in porch listening to the waves. Great amenities were an added bonus. Everyone used the kayaks, outdoor shower, and fire pit.


FVR RESPONSE:

Thank you Jennifer, for reviewing your stay at Shoreline. The home truly has a setting that is not quite like anything else when it comes to having a peaceful getaway. We are delighted to know everyone enjoyed their stay, and made good use of the provided amenities. We look forward to having the chance to host you again!

Darn near perfect
My wife, myself and our two very active dogs had a great time. The lake front cabin is comfortable, clean and welcoming. It’s location is ideal…one step off the deck lands you on the beach. Though the water was too cold for the two of us, our dogs couldn’t stay out of it. We loved our stay and plan on returning next year

Joe, don't you just love taking your pups on vacation with you and knowing that they had a  blast!  We're glad that you had a good time and that you plan on coming back in 2023.

Splendid Isolation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is beautiful. The seating, indoors and out, was fabulous. And we simply can't say enough good things about the Freswatef team. They are responsive and the epitome of professionalism. This was the seventh consecutive year we have worked through them to find a place to stay in the UP for vacation. Every time has been a wonderful experience. They are a top flight operation in every sense. We look forward to working with them again soon. I highly recommend them.


FVR RESPONSE
Paul & Terry, you made our day with your review and recommendation!  Thank you for your kind words for the staff at FVR.  Good guest relations is very important to us.  The fact that you have rented from us for seven consecutive years says it all!  We look forward to your next adventure with us.

Great Family Get-away Spot!
Looking for a place to get away from it all and spend time with family reconnecting? This is the place! Enjoyed the seclusion, being steps from the shoreline and all the amenities of home.
