About this property

Private Lake Huron Beachfront Home on 7 Acres!

This spacious home on 7 acres with 300 feet of private beachfront and sweeping views of Lake Huron is a quiet getaway situated between the villages of Port Sanilac and Harbor Beach. It is the perfect destination for your family getaway (and social isolation, if needed!)! 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, sleeps up to 14 (17-18 if small kids), with game room, and beautiful lake views!

Our 3-story home is located in Forestville, Michigan -- 18 miles north of Port Sanilac and 12 miles south of Harbor Beach. The home is situated at the end of a long private driveway atop a bluff with sweeping views of Lake Huron. The park-like setting includes a sand beach, several lawns and picnic areas, a game room with billiards and card tables, basketball hoop, campfire pits, grills for BBQs, and enough lawn games (and property!) to keep you busy.

The kitchen is spacious and built to accommodate a crowd, with double ovens, an extra sink, plates and cutlery for many, and appliances and cooking utensils. There are 5 bedrooms total (4 upstairs and 1 on the main level), and a full bath on each level of the home. There are 2 queen beds, 6 full size beds, two bunk beds, a pack n' play, and a pullout sofa. Clean bed linens are provided. Ceiling fans throughout the home keep the home airy and cool on warm days. Wireless internet and satellite TV are available for those who want to stay "plugged in".

The beautiful beach front provides access to a shallow bay for water play, kayaking, and fishing. The bay is not deep enough for motorized boats. Jet skis can be used, but you must be very careful of boulders in the bay. We recommend bringing your water shoes to navigate the typical Lake Huron rocky bottom. For deeper swimming or boating purposes, the nearby Forestville beach (1 mile away), Harbor Beach (12 miles north), and Port Sanilac marina are great destinations.

When you are fully relaxed and ready to explore, outings to Port Sanilac, Harbor Beach, Lexington and Port Austin are always fun to take advantage of the sandy beaches, playgrounds, museums, quaint shopping, ice cream and restaurants. Harbor Beach boasts a beautiful harbor, pier and marina where you can rent boats.

This area is great for golf (there is a driving range across the street from the home), hunting, fishing, hiking, sailing, water sports, and in the winter, snowmobiling on the extensive trail system.

The house rents from Monday (check in at 12 noon) to Sunday (check out at 12 noon) from June through early September. In the Spring, Fall, and Winter, we accommodate weekend and week long rentals. Please inquire with the owners for more information. See the "Rates" tab for weekly and weekend rental prices throughout the seasons. There is a $200 cleaning fee for all rentals. Pets will be considered ($50 per pet fee). There is an additional $25 fee/person/night for groups over 14 people.

** We do not host weddings or other large events.**

We hope every member of your family or group will feel at home here! Send us a message with any questions and we'll promptly respond. We look forward to hosting you and ensuring your stay on 'the thumb' of Michigan is a relaxing and memorable one!

Better than Advertised
We celebrated my parents 50th wedding anniversary by bringing all the kids and grandkids to the house. We had a wonderful time! 18 people in all, there was plenty of room to sleep and relax. The beach view was AMAZING! The house actually seemed larger than the pics! The house was clean, well kept, and well stocked. This beautiful location did not disappoint!

Five stars!
Amazing views, huge yard! My family and I had a wonderful long weekend on Lake Huron! We’re already talking about coming back next year. The house was well-stocked for cooking and dining and there were plenty of areas to sit outside, a grill, and also a couple firepit areas. The kayaks were as described and we had a lovely time paddling around the lake. We loved being able to walk down to the beach and to have so much space for kids to run around. It also provided an excellent background for family photos, which we had taken by a nearby photographer. Also, after we left, the owners were so kind and helpful to quickly return some items that we’d accidentally left behind, for which we were so so appreciative!

Excellent Family Trip
We had a great time at this place! Excellent way to get the family together- plenty of space to spread out and explore. Lots of activities between the lawn games and the beach and the lower level rec area. It was so nice to take the kids down to the beach and then be able to do meals as a family with plenty of space to cook & eat together. We had 8 adults and 2 kids in our group. Also plenty of space to go read under a tree or sit and chat with people in the multiple seating areas outdoors. Also, the bathrooms/showers were in great shape and had excellent pressure :)

Views and Privacy!
The views from this home being on top of the bluff were nothing short of amazing. The house is completely secluded from the neighbors on both sides. The house was very clean although could use a little TLC but nothing that made the stay uncomfortable and could be just my opinion. The showers in the basement and on the main level are TINY but the one upstairs is decent size. The only thing I wish this home had was a king size bed, other than that it was great. 2 full size refrigerators, 2 washers and 2 dryers for large groups and the AC was cold and let the house very comfortable. Betsy and Jim were very quick to respond to emails as well with any questions, they also provide their cell numbers if you need an answer immediately. We would rent again for sure.

Great Lake house on Lake Huron that housed our family for a annual reunion. The kids loved the lake and beach. The beds were very comfortable too :). The owners are thoughtful in the set up of the house for renters. We had everything we needed! Thank you for sharing your home!

Great space!
Had our annual family game weekend with our adult children and grandkids … plenty of space for all to enjoy without feeling cramped. It’s hard to find a home that accommodates a large group. Pictures and description were accurate. Home was more spacious than we thought it would be. Would definitely stay here again!!

Sprawling Waterfront Retreat
We stayed with a group of friends for a weekend enjoying the local golf courses. The house was spacious and clean, just like the pictures. The owners were terrific in communication before and after our trip. There's plenty of space on the property to spread out and enjoy the water, beach, and grass areas. We did BBQs and lawn games during the day and then bonfires at the beach at night. We will definitely be back!

Great beach location, Spacious Home
We had three families staying here, 6 adults, 5 children. Overall we had a wonderful time! Pros: The layout is great, allowed children to be upstairs sleeping while adults relaxed in the evening. The beach was beautiful, private and spacious. The homeowners were very communicative and accommodating of anything we needed. The house was fully equipped with anything your average home would have and you would need. Cons: The home could use some updating and repairs (handles falling off of cabinets, sinking ceiling tiles, rickety steps down to the beach). The bathrooms were large and spacious but the showers themselves were very small (think trailer). The homeowners warned us that there would be a lot of bugs (cobwebs) and possibly bees, but nonetheless we were still pretty putoff by both.

Golf Getaway
Had 12 guys in the house for our annual Spring Tournament. 2 Thumb gems, Verona Hills and Ubly Heights, are close by. The big beautiful house sits on a huge parcel with enormous front yard, great backyard area with 4 square picnic tables then a bluff down to a huge beach. Plenty of split seasoned birch firewood for our nightly bonfire. Kayaked after golf, the water was cold in mid May but bracing on the 80 degree days. House provides beautiful views of Lake Huron from most rooms. Played euchre and played pool on classic bar table in the basement. Huge refrigerator and another in the garage we never even needed. We will return next year. Owner very helpful with no hassles.
