Secluded/Quiet Renovated Lakefront Cottage For Families/No Large Groups,Sleep 10

For families looking for a little quiet and seclusion nestled in the woods and right on beautiful Lake Huron then this is the place for you. I'm sorry, this is not a place appropriate for large groups. Welcome to Cedar Tree Beach House. Almost everything in & out is either brand new or newly renovated. Providing a warm and inviting 1700 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms(w/ceiling fans) + loft area with queen air mattress (can sleep 2 adults but there is low headroom and limited space), 3 full bathrooms, living room(w/ceiling fan), dining room(w/ceiling fan), kitchen and sunroom(w/ceiling fan). And that is just the inside… The front offers plenty of parking and a beautifully landscaped and accessible front entry. Walking out the backdoor, you step onto a large 16’x24’ deck with propane grill, patio furniture comforts with umbrella. Walking down the deck steps you then step onto over 360 sq. ft. of paver patio space. Depending on your mood there is open paver space for sun and shaded space provided by a well-appointed pergola. Want a little more shade or seclusion, than camp out in the cabana. Day or night, the propane fire pit is at the ready for a story, a marshmallow or a great backdrop to the sound of the waves rolling around the 88’ of beachfront. (recommend water shoes because of fist size rocks and bigger in the water with scattered sand bars) Once finished on the water, then use the outdoor shower providing both hot and cold water. With plenty of outdoor lighting, the deck, paver patio and cabana are ready for night use.

Amenities are also at your fingertips. City water is first on the list. The outdoor space has plenty of outlets to plug-in any-and-all technology and the cottage is Wi-fi/Internet ready (it's satellite internet and the speeds can be slow and are inconsistent for streaming and/or any Zoom style activities). Knowing kids and parents don’t always agree on TV/Movie/Cable selections we have provided two 55” Smart TV’s and soundbars with PlayStation 3 consoles and wireless controllers. Both TV's also have Dish Hopper 3 Cable with America's Top 200 Cable package that includes FOX Sports for Detroit Tiger Baseball & The Tennis Channel. So, you pick… Dish Hopper 3 Cable, DVD or Blu-Ray movies, games or access to the internet. Kids and parents can have their own entertainment worlds. TV’s are also compatible to “Mirror” to anything off your phone, tablet or computer. A Bluetooth portable speaker is available for all you favorite music. There is also an internet radio available for thousands of radio/music stations from around the world.

Want to limit the kid’s technology use… then let them have their own “fort” space up in the loft.

Along with a fully furnished kitchen, you have a brand new washer, dryer, refrigerator/freezer with automatic ice maker. A second refrigerator with freezer and microwave are available in the cabana. There is a realistic propane fire log kit to make things cozy. Easy ON/OFF & nothing else is needed. The fireplace is located right in the dining room/kitchen area where everyone hangs out & can enjoy. All showers have grab bars for your in/out convenience. There is a portable generator that can power most of the house electrical needs. Newer furnace and air conditioner. Mother nature can literally reshape the beach in a moments notice. The lake level is currently low, the beach/sand has expanded and we currently have less of a grass area around the paver patio (a little different than the pictures).

Please remember that our beach house is for family & friend use. We respect our neighbors and their privacy. If you are looking for a "party place" for a large group to be loud, this is not a compatible place for you.

There is a 34 second video showing the beach side view and yard layout. When looking at the photos, click on the "VIDEO" icon (camera symbol) to view video.

The beach is calling… I must go… Cheers!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a microwave. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a coffee/tea maker and a washing machine.
This smoke-free cottage offers a stereo, books, and games. Amenities include a music library.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Clean home

The house was very clean, and the living room had lots of natural light with a beautiful view of the lake. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. The outdoor area is lovely, with a grill, a table, and a fire pit. There’s also a cabana with lounge chairs you can use at the beach.The water was warm and perfect for swimming. There are some rocks in the water, so I recommend bringing water shoes. However, if you go out a bit farther, you'll find sandy areas. The water is shallow, which makes it great for kids—my 2-year-old loved playing in the sand!

Great place to stay

Easy check in. Home owner was easy to contact. Kods loved the beach. We would rate a 10/10 if it would have had a sand beach. With some cheap water shoes it was very enjoyable

Room to relax

We enjoyed our stay at the Cedar Tree Beach House. It was one of the few places that we've been to that could fit the number of people it said it would. There were six of us and we all could sit comfortably at the dining room table and in the living room. The labels on things were helpful and appreciated. We hope to be back someday.

Quiet family vacation

Checking in was a breeze. Chris checked in shortly after we arrived, which was very nice. House, location etc was perfect. The outside has changed some from the Pictures, as the sand from the beach is blown pretty much up to the patio out back. Over all , very happy with our stay, would stay again.

Wow

You walk in through the front door and say wow at the view of the lake but then you look around at the house and you know its going to be a good vacation. Water pressure and water heat was good for showers. Towels, bedding, and kitchen supplies were all clean and ready to go. Looks like guests have to make their own beds but that's fine to ensure no spiders or anything are an unintended guest (the property managers did do a great job keeping things bug and spider free as much as possible) There were tons of social areas at the home to do whatever you'd like. Big central dining island with plugs. Two "living rooms" each with seating. The loft is awesome for kids or a teenager to make it their own little cool hideaway. The outside had a propane fire pit, sandy lot to play games like volleyball, there was a front yard strip to play lawn games and of course the lake. The cabana shed had everything you needed to stay outdoors for the day too like water and land sport stuff, nice chairs, a fridge to keep the party going I would definitely recommend this place. The property managers clearly take care of it and want your vacation to be awesome.

Great location and cottage for a fun and relaxing family vacation. Grandparents, adult kids and grandkids had a great time. Cottage was clean with nice amenities indoor and outdoor. Nice deck and firepit. The sand area near the cottage was perfect for volleyball/badminton. The long sandy beach area is great for kids to play. Great communications by the host. Overall, we highly recommend this cottage and would come back!

This property is top notch. The location is perfect and secluded. The home is spacious and well-laid out, perfect for our two families. The outdoor area and the beach were outstanding, great for both adults and kids. We only wished there were less rocks in the water to walk out further, but we managed to make it happen. Communication with Chris was excellent. We’d love to stay again sometime.
