Charming Pet-Friendly Cottage on Lake Huron

Welcome to a cozy cottage just right for a Lake Huron getaway. This airy and bright cottage is the third house from the lake and just a short walk to a secluded neighborhood beach.

We welcome pets!! You may bring one dog under 90 pounds or two dogs under 30 pounds each.

There is a $25 per day fee per dog. PLEASE BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR DOG(S)/CAT(S) AS TRAVELER(S) WHEN MAKING YOUR RESERVATION SO THAT VRBO ADDS THE PET FEE TO YOUR QUOTE AUTOMATICALLY.

The neighbors on both sides of the cottage are dog owners, as are most of the neighbors. You'll probably see your host and her dog, Jack, often out on a walk.

The cottage has one bedroom, one bathroom, a sitting room, and a kitchen. The bedroom has a memory-foam queen mattress, a ceiling fan, a large closet, and windows with blackout curtains. In the sitting room there's a cot-sized (28 x 76 inches inches) daybed, also with a memory foam mattress.

The cottage has strong enough Wifi to work and a Roku to stream entertainment or gaming from your accounts on a small TV.

The kitchen has a ceiling fan, along with a refrigerator-freezer, a two-burner ceramic cooktop, and a microwave, toaster oven, electric kettle, blender, and coffeemaker.

The full bathroom has a shower and a bathtub. An on-demand water heater means you will have plenty of hot water.

There are an outdoor table and chairs in the back yard, under a shady maple tree, along with a Weber charcoal-burning combination grill/prep table on wheels. Make some s'mores as you enjoy a fire in the nearby fire pit. We'll supply a bundle of wood for one campfire.

The cottage is not wheelchair accessible. There are three steps, with a handrail on one side of each, up to the deck, a small step into the cottage, one step up from the entry hall to the kitchen, and also one step up from the entry hall to the bedroom. The stairway down to the beach has handrails and requires careful footwork.

The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, with well-maintained, short, one-lane dead-end unpaved roads that invite safe walking. Your host lives a few houses away, on the same road as the cottage.

No parties or large gatherings are allowed on the cottage property, except for family get-togethers over holiday weekends, and even they are rare in the neighborhood. Quiet hours at the cottage are from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
