About this property

Cottage Cove · Lake Huron Beach Cottage No. 11

Kick back and relax on Lake Huron! Tucked away at the end of a no-outlet street on the water, enjoy a surprisingly private retreat with friends and family in Oscoda. Soak up the sun on the beach, gather around a fire on the sand, or start a game on the lawn. It's a comfortable walk to restaurants, downtown shops and the public beach park. Exploring outside the area, you're only a short drive from Tawas and adventure in the Huron National Forest. For an informed booking, click 'Show more' below and refer to our "What to Expect" section.

++OVERVIEW++

Cottage No. 11 is the perfect vacation rental for a small family or group of friends. Inside, you'll find an open-concept living room/kitchen, two bedrooms and a full bath.

Located at the end of a no-outlet street, Cottage Cove is tucked away from traffic and noise. Enjoy the private beach or walk along Lake Huron shore to the Oscoda boardwalk and public park with plenty of activities for the kids: a splash pad, playground, skate park, and even more sugar-sand beach.

Stay connected with reliable, high speed internet throughout the entire property. When the weather's not cooperating, chill out inside with a movie on the smart HDTV or games at the table.

ACCOMMODATIONS

The home is equipped and intended to sleep four people comfortably. Your rental includes bedding, towels, toilet paper, soap (dish and hand), basic kitchen cookware, a microwave, toaster, coffee maker, refrigerator and range.

OUTDOOR SPACE

Cottage No. 11 is a part of Cottage Cove by Hunger & Ransom Vacation Lodging; 1 of 12 total rentals on the property. Each cottage shares a large lawn with picnic tables, charcoal grills and yard games. You'll have full access to 200ft of sandy Lake Huron beach frontage with your stay.

Comfortably wade 100+ feet into waist-height water; the lake is incredibly clean without rocks and vegetation.

LOCATION

The rental cottage is located on a short, no-outlet street on Lake Huron and is a part of Cottage Cove by Hunger & Ransom. As close as we are the water, it’s less than a mile walk to the downtown area where you can grab dinner, get drinks, cool off with some ice cream and even watch a movie at the local theater.

River Road—a national scenic bypass—runs into downtown Oscoda and has numerous activities along it’s 19 mile length: including, the AuSable River Queen Boat Cruise (gorgeous during Autumn leaves season), canoeing/tubing launches and Lumberman’s Monument Park.

Tawas is a short 20 minute drive from the resort and boasts additional restaurants, activities, and shopping. Like Oscoda, you'll have your pick of weekend events every week during the summer.

With the Huron National Forest on Oscoda’s border, there are hundreds of outdoor activities within close range. Whether you’ve been coming to the area for a lifetime or this is your first trip, there’s always something new and exciting to do.

RULES

We want you to have an awesome experience at the house and hope you enjoy your whole vacation. Our biggest philosophy is leave it as you found. I.e., clean up after yourself and treat the property as if it were your own. We think this is a place you’ll want to stay again after you experience it the first time.

++WHAT TO EXPECT++

Each of our vacation rental properties possesses distinctive traits, and we consider it essential for you to be aware of these prior to your visit. Our goal is to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for every guest, and understanding these differences from your home can contribute to that. To assist in making your booking decision more informed, we present some key points for your consideration.

++SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS++

SHARED SPACES: This cottage is part of a shared property. Consequently, the outdoor space and beach are shared with other guests. We anticipate everyone to respect others' enjoyment. Rest assured, the interior of your cottage remains completely private and personal throughout your stay.

DOG-FRIENDLY: Cottage Cove welcomes dogs. Even if you're not traveling with a pet, expect to see dogs in shared areas. Bear this in mind when booking, especially if you have allergies or plan to bring your dog. Dogs must be on 6ft leashes whenever outside the rental (including the beach), and owners must clean up after their pets immediately.

CLEANLINESS: We prioritize offering a clean environment for your vacation. Every linen, appliance, surface, and fixture is thoroughly cleaned between stays. However, there are some points to note.

• We are pet-friendly, so a few stray hairs may evade our cleaning. We apologize for any inconvenience and assure you that all bedding is freshly cleaned.

• Our spacious, circular driveway is a great playground for kids and provides a smooth walking surface. However, it can lead to oil being tracked into the cottage from the asphalt, especially when guests walk barefoot from the beach. Despite our diligent cleaning efforts, the asphalt can sometimes leave oil marks on the cottage floors and bathtubs.

• With the beach comes sand, which we endeavor to remove completely. However, if we miss a few grains, rest assured they've been mopped, sprayed, or wiped clean.

• Some appliances might not appear spotless due to exterior rust or old paint jobs. We replace appliances as time and resources permit, and ensure they are cleaned between stays.

• Please note, these points are not meant to excuse substandard cleaning. If you ever feel our cleaning is insufficient, let us know immediately, and we'll rectify the situation.

COASTAL LIVING CHALLENGES: Our vacation rental homes are located on Lake Huron's shore, close to the Huron National Forest. Given our location and the age of our properties, please be aware of the following.

• Ants and other insects may find their way into the cottage, despite regular pest control efforts. You can help by maintaining food cleanliness and immediate cleanup.

• Rarely, mice may get past our precautions, especially during cooler weather. It's unlikely but worth considering when deciding to book.

• The location's humidity and higher water table might introduce unfamiliar smells. We assure you, however, that these scents don't indicate mold, and your health is our priority. Every rental is regularly inspected.

ACCESSIBILITY: Our cottages are not handicap-accessible. Most doorways are narrow, and some spaces may present obstacles for those with mobility issues. Please review all photos to assess suitability before booking.

PROVIDED ITEMS: To simplify your packing, we supply essentials for your trip, but with certain limitations to stay competitive.

• Sanitary Items: Expect roughly 1 roll of paper towel, 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom, and 2 trash bags.

• Linens/Bedding: We provide each guest with 1 towel and 1 washcloth, based on the cottage's occupancy limit. Each bed is fitted with a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, pillows with cases, and a light quilt. In the bathrooms, you'll find 1 floor towel and 1 hand towel. The kitchen is equipped with 1 dishcloth and 1 dish towel. Please note that we do not offer towel exchange services, nor do we provide extra linens beyond what is mentioned here.

• Kitchenware: We provide dinnerware to accommodate the maximum number of guests, plus basic cookware. e.g. at least 1 saucepan, 1 frypan and simple cooking utensils.

++CHECK-IN & ARRIVAL: REQUIRED STEPS++

It's important to us that you have an enjoyable getaway! We own 15+ properties and want your arrival to be as simple as possible. In order to ensure everyone has the most up to date info, we provide all access details through our company, Hunger & Ransom.

You'll be presented with a copy of this agreement before booking so you can review ahead of time.

We do our best to accurately reflect our properties and included amenities through photos and text. We also regularly make improvements to our properties. While we strive to update our listing quickly after changes are made, property photos and descriptions provided through our listing may not be current, nor do we guarantee that our descriptions and photos are error-free.

Should any core details detrimentally change after booking and before arrival, you will be notified and granted exception to the current cancellation policy.

Much smaller than pictures make it seem
During check-in, the code for the door could have been texted to me ,but instead it was made somewhat difficult for someone not not very savvy with the new technology. The owner expects people to use the same four towels, for however long the stay. They are also not willing to work with you on a little longer to check-out. The ceiling fans have a lot of dust on them and so does the paneling on the walls. The kitchen is much smaller than it looks in the pictures. Also one of the small frying pans was burnt and greasy. All of the barbecues were absolutely filthy, despite the rules saying that they must be cleaned. We had to go to the store and buy an aluminum pan to cook with. No way were we going to clean up after other people. The one bedroom that had carpet the carpet was wet. Many people didn't clean up after their pets. Saw one man cover his dogs poop on the beach with his foot using the sand on the beach close to his cabin. Won't stay at this resort again The best part of this property was the view.

1st family vacation
We had a great time with our 1 and 2 year old for our first vacation. The kids had so much fun experiencing the sand for the first time. Lake Huron has very soft pretty sand and clear water. The cottage was perfect

Our vacation
The grounds are beautiful. The inside cottage is not kept up. We had many carpenter ants in the house. Everywhere. There is no usable cookware. Most should be thrown away. We had to use plastic silverware because lack of silverware. Only left 1 and half toliet paper and one garbage bag. Would not stay here again.
