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.

Great cottage with beautiful views!
Our family enjoyed our stay at the cottage, very fortunate to have been able to book this place during such a busy summer. The cottage had a beautiful back and front yard for games and relaxing along with nice direct access to beach. No issues just 1 minor thing was the place had some spots that weren’t cleaned very well by the maintenance crew when we arrived but besides that overall great experience.

Wonderful place
We had a wonderful time at this house. The house looks better than the photos show and plenty of space for my family. The view is gorgeous and the activities are amazing. If you have toddlers you need to keep 100% eye on them as the backyard ends on a cliff towards the lake, and the house is full of stairs. The original photos of sandy beach is not accurate as the water level is high so no sand activities for the kids. There is a about 10 ft of gravel/sand area on a 7ft man-made cliff which is not very friendly for sand games for children. The fire pit is a great fun time. Lorraine and Keith were pleasant and easy to work with. Overall very recommended but be careful for toddlers.

This place is for sure a piece of heaven!!
Property is very well taken care of and beautiful surroundings. We have been going to this location for the last 6 - 7 years and never had an issue with anything. I would highly recommend it for a girls getaway or certainly a large family vacation residence. The owners are very accessible and super nice.

Beautiful sunsets and Lake Huron views
We had a great stay, lots of room for everyone with a very well stocked kitchen. We also visited a couple of great beaches while we were there.

Absolutely fabulous and worth every penny
Our group of 6-8 have gone to this cottage in the summer for the last 5 years and it is absolutely worth every penny we spent. We sometimes even go for weekends with our friends as is such an enjoyable and relaxing location and lots to do at the cottage or surrounding places for all ages. The owners are always friendly and always open to our suggestions and have actually implemented some of them. I even took a small group of friends out there in Nov 2016 and apparently 2 of them have now booked a week in the summer with their grandkids. I have already booked our week for 2018 as this cottage books fast. The views and sunsets are beautiful and we enjoy the walks on the beach, weather permitting. The 4 children in our group have a wonderful time swimming, boating, playing in sand or playing with all the toys available and just enjoying simple family time. We do take water shoes as sometimes different areas are rocky, but have noticed the beach changes every year and it is absolutely fascinating. The area is quite private and neighbours are very friendly and helpful. The house has everything we need. We are a family of cooks who love to experiment or just BBQ. I especially love just sitting around the firepit or anywhere on the property to just chat with each other or even read in private. The boys sometimes go fishing. This one week is one of the best summer weeks we have had and completely relaxing. Definitely a lot cheaper/less hectic than flying away to get some beachtime in another country. The rental for this beachfront property is definitely reasonable compared to others we have been to, and we are seasoned travellers. I can see why the owners have to pay property taxes nearly twice as much as non beachfront properties, but in my opinion, it is worth the cost and definitely a highly recommended rental and in high demand.

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.
