Lovely Chalet Home on Quiet Bay with Sandy Beach


Enjoy Our Charming Sandy Shores Beach House . . . A Perfect Relaxing Spot for Couples, Family and Friends

If you’ve been looking for a beautifully furnished cottage in a small tranquil neighborhood with your own private beach on Lake Huron, then Sandy Shores Beach House is perfect for you. Located just a mile from Cheboygan, you’ll be enjoying the amazing beauty of everyday life on Duncan Bay. From breathtaking sunsets, to passing ships, to Trumpeter Swans, eagles, cranes, and the nearby nesting osprey, you’ll be mesmerized by all that surrounds you.

This listing is a chalet style cottage, over 1,800 square feet with four spacious bedrooms and two full baths. The main level has a king bedroom and a queen bedroom with a shared full bath. Upstairs is a queen bedroom with a panoramic view of the lake, complete with its own private balcony. The second upstairs bedroom is furnished with a full-sized captain’s bed and a twin bed, perfect for kids. There is a full bathroom between the bedrooms. All bedrooms have plenty of closet space plus dressers and drawers. Bed linens, blankets and bath towels are provided.

On the main level you will find a fully furnished galley-style kitchen (including refrigerator, stove with full-sized oven, microwave, dishwasher, counter-top appliances and all the utensils, pots, pans and dishware you will need). Other areas on the main level include a kitchen counter and stools, an adjoining dining area with oak table that can seat up to eight (including a 24” leaf if needed), a high top “pub” table area that seats four (perfect for sunset drinks and games), a cozy family room area with reclining sofa and chair, a new 50” TV with streaming services, secure high speed internet connection, a laundry area with new washer and dryer, and two large sliding glass doors that open to a large back deck and lawn that overlook the beach and out to the bay. Beautiful views of the bay can be seen from all the common areas on the main level.

We also provide contact-less check-in, ample on-site parking, an outdoor grill, two kayaks, beach chairs, patio furniture, fire pit, games, and some basic laundry, kitchen and bathroom supplies. The City of Cheboygan is just a few minutes away with plenty of options for grocery stores, restaurants, shops, marinas/boat launches, movie theater, brewhouse, etc. to meet your needs and stocking supplies. Our professional housekeeper follows strict cleaning and laundering procedures prior to every check-in.

When it comes to things to do and places to go that are located nearby, where do we start? There are so many fun and enjoyable options which is why so many people choose the “Tip of the Mitt” as their favorite place to vacation and recreate. It truly is the outdoorsman’s paradise. There are miles of hiking and biking trails as well as many nearby lakes and rivers for boating and fishing adventures. Cheboygan is blessed to be on the northern end of an extensive inland waterway that flows for forty miles through three rivers and three large lakes. There are marinas located all along the waterway offering pontoon boat and jet ski rentals. Cheboygan Golf and Country Club, a five mile drive, is a beautiful public 18-hole course. There are many other fine golfing venues in the area. Mackinaw City is an easy 30 minute drive where you can catch a ferry to the famous Mackinac Island, or tour the historic Fort Michilimackinac or browse through the many unique shops that line the streets. Take the breathtaking drive across the Mackinac Bridge and visit the quaint city of St. Ignace and other sites in the Upper Peninsula. The Headlands International Dark Park is a favorite destination for star gazers. Or simply kick back and relax on your own private sandy swimming beach on the bay. The list goes on and on so check out our “Welcome Book” and collection of pamphlets we maintain at the house for more complete information about all the local attractions nearby.

Your hosts, Jean and Patrick Linton, have made many improvements since acquiring this special property and furnishing it with new beds, furniture, appliances and other features. We’ve put all our TLC into this immaculately cared for home hoping that our guests will have many memorable moments and unforgettable experiences exceeding their expectations. Welcome and enjoy!

Work and relaxing

Very nice place. This was a remote working getaway with co-workers. We had a great time. Patrick checked on us to ensure we had everything we needed. The house is well appointed and clean. The beach, even though it was low, was nice and we were able to walk it. Thank you so much!

Perfect location. Just minutes away from so many fun things to do. Beautiful bay with sandy beach, calm warm waters. Hiking trails/state park at end if the street. Two included kyacks were a huge hit with our group. Every detail thought of by the owner to make the home truly feel like home. Cannot wait to go back.

Great Views of Duncan Bay

The views from the house of Duncan Bay were awesome. We stayed cozy warm inside the house and enjoyed the big windows to watch the few ships passing through the bay. The neighborhood was quiet. A surprise was the hidden entrance to Cheybogan State park at the end of the dead end street. The house was stocked with everything we needed. Plus. the homeowner even checked on us during the high winds and stormy night. The house is only 30 minutes to Mackinaw City and a quick ferry ride to Mackinaw Island. Its a short drive into downtown Cheybogan where we visited the farmers market in the city square.

Great place to stay with a great view

We loved staying at the Sandy Beach house. There was plenty of space to spread out and relax, a well-stocked kitchen to make our meals, and was cleaner than my own house! Patrick and Jean were very welcoming and were quick to answer any questions we had. When we arrived there were very strong winds off the lake, but the house was cozy and quiet. Patrick came the next day to clean up the beach, leaving it pristine (even though it was far too cold to be swimming anyways!). Thanks for the great stay!

Perfect Vacation!

This was the perfect place for our family vacation. The view of the bay was incredible! The house was very clean and seemed to have everything we needed for our stay! The bedrooms were very comfortable, and accommodating and fit our needs perfectly. The owners were very responsive to our questions! We have been staying in this area for the past 11 years and this was by far the best place we’ve stayed at!

Taste of Lake Living!

We got lucky in finding this gem a day or two after Jean and Patrick made the property available on VRBO. Jean and Patrick were great to work with and very responsive. They put a lot of thought into making the property and accommodations perfect. The property itself is ideal for families – a quiet street, a wonderful beach, 4 bedrooms, 2 tables for dining (or playing cards!), a spacious deck and yard, etc. My mom and I kayaked out to the rock wall (edge of the bay) and saw the bridge. There is a long beach hike that you can take in the nearby State Park. Of course, we also swam, had a bonfire, and played a lot of corn-hole. We highly recommend Jean and Patrick’s property and would certainly consider staying there again!

Wonderful location

My sister, our brother, his wife and their two teenage daughters and I stayed for a week. I had a great, relaxing time. The cabin looked exactly as pictured. The lake access was terrific. It is a shallow entry so it is only knee deep about 50 yards. The sunsets were so beautiful. The cabin was well stocked with kitchen tools. There were toys, games and some movies on dvd. Pat and Jean were responsive to all of our questions and wonderful to work with. I am a first time VRBO user and this was the best possible experience thanks to Pat & Jean. Cheryl

A lovely house with great views

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this property, and I highly recommend it. The home is updated and very nice, with many thoughtful touches and details. We absolutely had everything we needed, and more. The furniture is comfortable and the kitchen contains everything you need for preparing meals. The beach is beautiful, and the water is shallow for a ways out, so it is safe for kids. Even the neighbors were quite friendly! But perhaps the best thing about this home is the owners, Jean and Patrick. We can't say enough good things about them - their kindness, generosity, and prompt attention to even small details was amazing. We would rent this house from them again without a second thought (and we hope to!).

The Beach house was perfect! The layout was great, and it was very clean. The beach was amazing and the lake was all mostly sandy and shallow for a long way out. The owners were very nice and accommodating. Tons of great memories were made here. We will definitely be back

About the host

Hosted by Jean and Patrick Linton

Host profile image
We are a retired couple who reside in the same neighborhood on this lovely bay as the beach house. We are far enough away to always respect your privacy, but close enough to respond in a timely manner to any questions or needs you might have. Patrick's career was in hospital and health care administration. Jean's career was in residential mortgage lending and insurance. We enjoy Cheboygan and the surrounding area of Northern Michigan. We are an active couple enjoying golf, pickle ball, bowling, skiing, kayaking and singing in a local choral group.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy living year round on this beautiful and quiet bay ourselves. When we purchased the beach house just down the road, we knew it would be a perfect location as a vacation rental. It's well suited for families and friends in small, intimate groups to gather and enjoy their time together. Children especially will enjoy playing on the sandy beach. The neighborhood is quiet with friendly neighbors. And it's located only a mile outside of Cheboygan making it a rural, waterfront property with easy access to stores, services and recreational activities. All the venues and activities that make Northern Michigan such an attractive vacation destination are within short driving distance.
