#4 | Cozy Classic on the Beach

Welcome to Barefoot Beach Resort, a laid-back spot on the best beach of Lake Huron. Cabin 4 is one of our coziest cottages—modest, simple, and just a short stroll from the sand. It’s got exactly what you need to enjoy the beach and the basics.

It’s a 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin with new mattresses and that classic up north feel—wood-paneled walls, a charcoal grill out front, and space to unwind after a day on the beach. It’s the smallest of the bunch but it’s cozy, clean, and comfortable. We’re giving it a facelift next winter—every cabin gets its turn.

★THE SPACE★

☀ Two bedrooms with queen beds + a big, comfy couch (sleeps 5)
☀ One bathroom—small and simple
☀ Full kitchen with the basics + a 4-person dining table
☀ Living room with Roku TV (if you feel like turning it on)
☀ Charcoal grill, picnic table, patio chairs, and some beach toys
☀ Shared fire pits literally on the beach
☀ High-speed Wi-Fi (good enough for Zoom, if you must)
☀ Easy self-check-in, no keys or hassle
☀ Starter Kit: Coffee, paper towels, soap, trash bags, toilet paper, etc. (restock as needed)

☆☆ You’re basically on the beach ☆☆
Cabin 4 is right on the water—you can walk out the door and be on the sand in seconds. The
large sliding glass door offer great lake views and easy access to the beach just steps away.

☆☆ Honest and unfussy ☆☆
This one’s not updated like some of the others, but it’s clean, functional, and a great value if you
just need a place to sleep and store your cooler.

☆☆ Grilling, s’mores, and bonfires on the beach ☆☆
Bring the marshmallows. The shared fire pits are right on the lake, and there’s nothing better than
ending your day watching the fire crackle and waves roll in.

☆☆ Great for families, couples, or fishing trips ☆☆
Whether you're trying to get the kids sandy and tired, spend a weekend unplugged with your
partner, or sneak in one last cast before sunset, this place works.

★PET-FRIENDLY HOME★

We are a dog (only) friendly home, but maintain a few rules and regulations regarding this. All dogs must be controlled either through a physical leash or with verbal commands so that the dog returns to the owner when necessary. Dogs and owners should both respect the boundaries of the properties and the neighbors use and enjoyment of their own. Guests should ensure that there is no pet waste left in the yards, and all waste is bagged up and removed. Do not leave any animals in the home unattended or uncrated under any circumstance. The home is limited to two dogs, and there may be a fee for these dogs. Guests should thoroughly clean up any shedding or excess fur which may be left in the home so that our cleaning team has a normal turnover without excess or unscheduled work. While we do make every effort to ensure a perfectly clean home, small amounts of fur may be present in the air, settle on the floors or surfaces or may not have been reachable under furniture... an expected, but unfortunate byproduct of being pet friendly.

★NO SMOKING INSIDE★

All of our homes are exclusively no-smoking, of any kind, inside the home. Cigarettes and marijuana are incredibly potent smells for non-users and can have a negative impact on future guests. Evidence of a guest smoking in the house, including the attestment of our cleaning team, will result in a cleaning fee of up to $500.00 to change furnace filters, ozone remediate the air, clean duct work, and clean hard and soft surfaces.

★DISCLOSURES★

Our homes feature many amenities which might be seasonally available or would be considered outdoor recreational items. We make every effort to ensure that these items are available for use and in good condition, but mother nature and our previous guests also play a roll in our ability to do so. Items like outdoor furniture, grills, kayaks, canoes, yard games, fire pits and patios are cared for by our team but are stored outside in the elements. There may be leaves, dirt or debris on these outdoor items, and some may have limited use depending on the season and weather patterns. Other items may have experienced use or abuse by previous guests and were not reported as damaged or broken to us, limiting our ability to repair or replace them. As with all short term rentals, our homes can experience wear and tear at an accelerated rate due to heavy use from our guests. We strive to keep our homes fresh and schedule repairs and maintenance as quickly as we can. You may experience new items at our homes that replaced items from our photos which may have been worn or damaged.

Exterior maintenance services, including but not limited to lawn care, landscaping, pest control, snow removal, and trash services are essential to maintaining the quality and function of the home and surrounding land. Many of these services are scheduled on a weekly or monthly basis and may require the service p
