About this property

Lake Huron Beach House - Spectacular Sunsets

_____________________________________________________________________________

Renovations complete and cottage now reopened for booking in late April 2023

Location, Location, Location - this traditional cottage is well known for its absolutely wonderful location on one of the most beautiful spots on Lake Huron, and the spectacular sunsets. The Cottage Ambience is phenomenal. The view from this property was even highlighted in the Globe and Mail a few years ago.

Located on prestigious Lake Huron, our waterfront vacation house features lots of sandy beach and swimming in beautiful clear water. Some areas may have a few small and big rocks/pebbles and the area of the sandy beach depends on on what the weather brings in or takes out, but these only add to the beauty of the beach or just increases the swimming areas/water sports area. As at April 2023 we have an amazing , close to 70 ft sandy beach once again.

Sun worshipper or shade lover you will find them here.

Relax on the outdoor beach and cottage decks, 2 patios or 2 balconies while watching the sun set over the lake. Enjoy each other's company or dance, BBQ or make smores, play and sing around the firepit. Open and spacious back and front yard, great for playing games.

This beach house is fully air conditioned during the hot summer and heated during the winter.

With 4 bedrooms and a much, much needed 3rd bathroom, you can enjoy the kind of magnificent space and layout that makes for a fabulous vacation that offers a semblance of privacy to each person or family. The bedrooms have been comfortably designed to be away from the main activity areas. It's easy for anyone in the group to get away to relax or read when they want to, turn in before the rest of the group in the evening or to sleep late in the morning.

Beds are as follows:

Master Bedroom - 2 Queen size beds and 1 double Futon, ensuite bathroom, gas fireplace, balcony and beautiful view of lake.
Bedroom 2 - double bed
Bedroom 3 - double bed
Bedroom 4 - double bed
2 additional bathrooms located near Bedroom 2, 3 and 4

Our kitchen is fully loaded with all appliances and service for 8-10. he dining area is surrounded by a superb view of Lake Huron. This is the perfect spot to entertain, and features an expandable table. Enjoy the beauty of this magnificent part of the world, while having a meal.

Our family room has a beautiful view of the lake. There is a TV, a small library and also a few board games, some left over by previous renters.

Our games area, a converted garage, features a convertible pool table, table tennis and air hockey tables..

The front of the property is enclosed by a treed fence and offers a wonderful secure playing area for children. One can also play badminton or volleyball. This area has a small patio and offers an alternative on really windy days when not possible to be on the lakeside area..

The beach is accessible via private 65 wooden steps and rails at the end of our property . There is a landing approx every 14-15 steps and makes the beach easily accessible throughout the year. There is an alternative Private Lane Resident only access to the beach less than 100ft away.

We are conveniently located in the St Joseph's community, a few minutes drive between Grand Bend and Bayfield.

Sun, rain or snow, there is always something to do. Enjoy the little towns, golfing, restaurants, antique shops, drag racing, nightlife, marinas and lots more fun at these popular summer vacation destinations or just stay at our beach house and enjoy the privacy.

For health reasons, we have maintained chemical free lawns and gardens. We have let the trees, wildflowers and plants grow to preserve the cottage ambience, but still perform a regular indoor and outdoor weekly maintenance to keep a little control. Our indoor and outdoor furniture is practical and user friendly. We are very proud to maintain most of our annual renters who love the traditional cottage feel at a wonderful location. That is a true luxury in this day and age.

WATER LEVEL UPDATE

Water levels and sandy beach area are dependant on weather conditions, and can range from 10 ft to 100 ft . As at April 2023, sandy beach area is closer to the 75ft mark. Higher water levels mean its great for swimming and water sports. Sometimes large and small rocks may be exposed depending on weather and water levels. It is very difficult to know what to expect each season, but the ever-changing landscape is absolutely beautiful and there is always something to do, no matter what nature brings in.

Breathtaking views
Great overall stay accompanied by great weather which helped the experience. Views and are actually better than shown on site photos. House is large and accommodating....but family room. In the basement is less than ideal. Biggest downfall would definitely be the house setup. However, if you focus on the outdoors you'll forget the cottage shortcomings

Awesome Family Thanksgiving
This was our annual family Thanksgiving getaway. The cottage could not be more perfect. Very clean, had all amenities would possibly need. The layout gives room for everyone to be spread out too many different areas. The yard is amazing with the most beautiful view from inside and out of Lake Huron and sunsets. Yard in front and back are very big and perfect with kids, set up games, or just relax in many parts of the yard. Perfect spot for a nice fire. The garage is like a games room. With rain, we had Ping Pong tournaments! Would highly recommend this cottage, perfect location in all of area. Communication with host perfect. We will be back! Thank You! Melnik Family

Great stay
This is our second time at this cottage and absolutely love this place . The sunsets are outstanding and the cottage is perfect for families with children . The beach area isn’t the greatest for children and very rocky . You will definitely need water shoes.

Family vacation
We had a great week. Lots of space for two families and my mom with lots of things for everyone to do - basketball net, movies, games for the older ones and lots of open space for my 3 year old. The view is incredible and the deck is a perfect size for our group.

We are the owners and take great pride in our vacation home. We have had over 15 years of family reunions in this area .. . priceless wonderful memories which we build on each year.

Why they chose this property

This is our dream house and we fell in love with it on first sight. Just a very simple, traditional cottage, nothing too fancy. Phenomenal ambience. A beautiful sandy beach and lots of activities/attractions easily accessible if you need them. As we relax by the lake, we find ourselves transported to a world far away from the stress of everyday life, especially when we experience nature and the spectacular Lake Huron sunsets. The amazing view from our property was even highlighted in the Ontario West Coast feature in the Globe and Mail some years ago.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the peace and quiet from hectic normal work life. We take long walks on the beach early morning and/or evening and the lake-breeze is exhilarating. Fantastic bonding time with family and friends around the beach, BBQ, firepit, playing games outside, and sometimes, we just laze around and enjoy the lake and quiet time. It is just amazing to take this time to enjoy nature at its best. There are lots of birds and small wildlife always scuttering around and so wonderful to watch their antics as they play and live their lives. We have also watched storms crossing the lake from the safety of the house. Every day, the Lake looks different depending on the weather, and most noticeable differences during winter days.
