Cottage vacation rentals in Oscoda County

I booked this beautiful home after my first reservation and host cancelled on me due to the storms. Well, I can say… we are so happy with our stay. It was exactly as described and even better than expected. April really is a one of a kind host, so good that I had to take notes for my own Air bnb adventure. She thought of everything! I’ve never had a better stocked kitchen. We always cook and make a big meal and we sure did not want for anything. We were even greeted with a local baked good and extra sheets and blankets for the dogs. These hosts were the best I’ve had in Michigan, if not the whole country. I’m thankful for people who truly consider someone’s stay and thinks of it all. Thank you again to the hosts. The Cabin was spotless and one of my favorite features was the deer lights.

I wish I could put into words how amazing this stay was! There were so many activities to do here, it was insane! I wish we had more time to enjoy them. It was very peaceful, kayaking down the river was a beautiful experience (definitely recommend water shoes, rocky bottom). They are also very accommodating for pets or for babies, have extra things just in case you forget something. 100000/10 would recommend to anyone!

Great spot, close to many trails, private, house was clean. Comfortable beds and living space. Thanks!

I was so grateful that she was willing to ship back an item I left behind. Great setting for a getaway and great host!

We had a great time at Stacey’s place. Her home was very relaxing, a quick walk to the lake and dog-friendly—which is huge. Everyone in the area was friendly and respectful. We enjoyed spending time at the maplehurst dock, in the backyard at the bonfire pit under the tall trees and bistro lights, and relaxing inside playing games and watching shows. From s’mores ingredients and condiments to paper products and bath essentials, the house had all the extras that lots of other rentals ask you to bring. If you’re going to be staying during a hot week (above 80), we recommend bringing an extra fan for the main space. Otherwise, the windows kept the place cool and comfortable. We’d definitely stay here again.

Absolutely a beautiful place to stay, would recommend to anyone!! Very responsive to any questions, beds were good, very clean home! Would love to see it in the summer, stayed in November.. ORV trails not too far, restaurants kinda close.. No complaints!

let me just start by saying. Linda was amazing. Made us feel right at home. very understanding, and makes you feel like you aren't just someone staying at her property. She makes you feel like your family coming to her home. I will be staying again when we come up it might be a regular thing for me and my family.

Had a great time with the kids at Edwards place. Definitely off the beaten path, 20 min drive to property driving on gravel and then dirt/sand after the gate, was a little tight between the vegetation on the path with my truck but no damage done(couple minor scratches). You'll get used to the solar power and learn to conserve, make sure to charge during the day. Amazingly beautiful property, crazy quite. We didn't see much wildlife during our stay, mostly a wide variety of birds. we rented the small boat and made it to the sandbar on Hubbard lake, if your not too familiar with boats I would rent a boat in the surrounding lakes before trying to make it by river to Hubbard lake. River is GREAT for kayak, canoe or paddle board plus you won't scare off the wildlife with the sound of the engine. Overall, we had a great time in this secluded setting and spending quality time with the kids without wifi/internet.

My 3 sons and I had a great time at Steve’s cabin. We had docking for our 2 boats and my dog could access the water easily. The fire pit and wood supply was a huge hit. The lake was as peaceful and beautiful as I remember it from the 70’s. The cabin had a lot more personality than any new-build could ever have. The location was very private and quiet. The fact that most of the cabins are vacation homes makes Sage Lake all that more desirable.

It felt like the foundation was failing… floor was uneven.. bedroom door shut on it’s own…going in the bathroom felt like you were walking downhill…Drywall was put up without taping the seams or plastering over the nails…poor remodel work.

Really great home and really great host. Thank you so much, Tim.

Loved the cabin!!! Super cute and homey, loved how pet friendly it was. The hosts were super responsive and went above and beyond for welcoming. Will definitely book again as we come up often!

If you're looking for an authentic Hubbard Lake experience, this place is the real deal. No fancy furnishings, just a rustic cabin with a cozy fireplace and a screen porch with a sweet view of the lake. Who could ask for anything more?

Nice and clean place to stay. Pellet stove is awesome! Keeps the place very cozy.

Christie's place was so cozy and peaceful. It was a beautiful location and everything you needed was available. We rented a boat and kept it right at the dock. The home was very clean, cute and comfortable for our family of four. We would definitely book again in the future!

We were visiting friends on Sand Lake and this place was perfect. We loved the big private yard with horseshoes and a fire pit. The cabin was quaint and very clean. We loved everything about our stay!

Melissa did a nice job and everything was as presented. She provides good communication and instructions were right on. We were golfing at Forest Dunes so the location was perfect. Local restaurants and pizzeria nearby as well as a nice grill for steaks. The place suited our needs perfectly.

My Mother was getting married in Hale and we desperately needed to find somewhere to stay and.. WOW! We were SO excited when we found this place! It was so beautiful and quiet and it had just the relaxation we needed for the weekend of a wedding! All hosts were SUPER responsive and answered every question I had (even the silly ones) and my favorite part.. the pillows were so comfortable. I struggled with constant pain due to a private diagnosis and I felt so comfortable here. I would absolutely book again if I ever found myself out here. The price was absolutely perfect for what it was! It was even cuter than in the photos as well!! My husband and brother loved the pool tables and the rest of my family absolutely loved the water accommodations. Book here!!! You won’t regret it!!!

Very cute place on the lake. Nice big yard with firepit. The lake was warm enough to swim in. I'd definitely recommend Daphne's place for your vacation up north.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming cabin that exceeded all of our expectations!Cozy ambiance, impeccably clean, and well-equipped with all the amenities we could need, making it feel like a home away from home. The host truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The serene surroundings added to the charm, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and rejuvenation. I can't recommend this cabin enough and will definitely be returning for another stay. If you're looking for a cozy retreat with outstanding hospitality, this is the place to be!

Great home to host our work girls trip. We had a relaxing weekend with the wood fireplace and watched movies. Boyne is about an hour away so it was a beautiful scenic drive. Beds are super comfortable with lots of space. Kitchen well equipped with everything needed.

Our first time to Houghton Lake and Heidi's home was perfect for our stay. My husband and I and our two pups really found all the comforts of home and in such a gorgeous setting! The bed was comfortable with plenty of linens. The kitchen well stocked with all you need to cook a meal. The games and cd collection ... so fun! The property and lake view, incredible! Sitting by the fire, listening to the waves and watching the sunset every night was the best. The area was great. We ate at Randy's a few times and grabbed some seafood while listening to the band at the Shrimp Shack. We rented a pontoon from Brian's Lakeside Marina, took the dogs swimming at both South and North Higgins Lake State Park and took the hour drive to Traverse City. So much fun packed into a long weekend with the perfect home to come back to! Heidi was so accomodating, responsive and just a pleasure to chat with. I highly recommend her gorgeous home!
