About this house rental
Up a private drive and nestled behind a tiny forest sits the Big Blue House on Lake Huron; the perfect place for large groups or families to have a relaxing and fun retreat. There’s plenty of space for all in our open-concept house which features 6 bedrooms that can sleep a total of 14 people (15 if you include the crib that’s in one of the rooms). With a full kitchen, spacious great room and first floor laundry, this is your home away from home.
Take in the majesty of Lake Huron from the covered patio, covered porch, fire pit, 120 feet of sugar sand private beach front, or simply from the comfort of inside the house. Watch breath-taking sunrises and sunsets during the day and count the stars as the moonlight dances on the lake on the brightest of nights. If the conditions are right, you might also be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the northern lights.
Fun and activities are in full supply at the Big Blue House on Lake Huron. In the warmer months, you can cool off in the sandy-bottomed lake that is also great for boating. There’s also beach volleyball, kayaking and paddle-boarding. Sand toys are provided for the kids and the kids at heart. When you’re ready for a change of pace or are staying in the cooler months, take a nice long walk along the beach for some light rock and glass collecting while watching for freighters off in the distance. Get your heart pumping while shooting hoops on the basketball net or use the driveway for bike riding or 4-square. Then step onto the lush grass for bocce ball, croquet, frisbee or one of the many other games that are provided.
Stay cozy indoors with a wood-burning fire while playing one of the many board games available or watch a movie on one of the smart TVs. Then head downstairs to the game room for ping-pong, cards or mini roulette.
Want to get in a little shopping or grab a bite? Both downtown Tawas and downtown Oscoda are just a 10-15 minute car ride away. How about some sight-seeing? Tawas Point State Park where you can bird watch, walk or bike the trails, or visit the magnificent Tawas Point Lighthouse is also just 10-15 minutes away.
Please come and see for yourself what makes the Big Blue House on Lake Huron so special, we’re excited to have you!

Had an amazing girls weekend at the property. Everything needed for a 10/10 experience was there. We grilled, enjoyed the bonfire, and relaxed on the beach. Very nice house with plenty of seating and space for a large group. Highly recommend this property.

Excellent place for big family or business retreat
Perfect on the beach large house with all the amenities. Beds are comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked.
One suggestion is bring extra surge protectors the outlets are very old and don’t hold the plug.

Wonderful Stay!
My family gathered here to celebrate Christmas. The property was beautiful and so accommodating! We were all comfortable in our rooms and enjoyed every minute. The property was close to town yet we felt secluded. We will definitely stay here again!

Lake Huron Vacation
We had a wonderful time at this vacation rental. There were plenty of kayaks, a paddle board, sand toys, bicycles and indoor toys for our grandchildren. The house is very spacious and accommodating. The only issue we had was that we had to wash up the sheets for the bunk beds and one of the beds in the basement because they were not clean. We also had to sweep the floor and wash down a few areas because they were dirty. We brought our own coffee maker because mine is a 12 cup but I was glad I did, because the coffee maker was dirty. I think perhaps the cleaning crew may have taken the day off. With that being said, I would for sure go back because the property is amazing and so many fun things available for our use. The sunrises are gorgeous also!

Beautiful location
Loved the large house; allowed each couple to have their own room and reasonable number of people sharing bathrooms. The living room and dining table were perfect for our group of 9 people; made our social gathering better by being able to fit everyone in a single area. And of course being right on the lake made for a great experience. Additional drink fridge outside also a plus!
Note: while most things were included in the house (towels, stocked kitchen, etc.) there were a few things not included: napkins, paper products, dish soap, dishwasher soap and laundry soap. Seemed odd to exclude cleaning basics.
Overall a nice vacation spot.

This property was perfect for our group!We had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for privacy and quiet time but spent most of our time in the kitchen and large living room when not outside or in the water. Enjoyed looking at the beautiful Lake with all the windows facing the lake. We all agreed would love to come back and make more wonderful memories. Nate and Emily got right back to us with any questions. They are excellent!

Excellent rental property! Plenty of space for our group of 11. Loved the large kitchen as we do most of our own cooking. Beautiful beach with lots of extras provided by the owners; toys, kayaks, pattle board, etc. Nate was easy to work with and answered all my questions quickly. We experienced an issue with biting flies for two of our days. Of course this is not a reflection of the property or the owner. We enjoyed a wonderful vacation here and would definitely return!

Awesome Family Vacation
Sitting on the back porch with coffee watching the sunrise was beautiful, quiet time with my wife priceless! There is enough lawn for games and the beach was Awesome also paved driveway with good sized area to play basketball or small children to ride bikes around. The property was off the road and it was quiet and private my family had a great time we stayed 2 weeks and could have stayed longer.

The house was perfect for our group! We had 4 adults and 7 kids ranging from 2-14. There was plenty of space for everyone and lots to keep everyone entertained. The kayaks were a big hit and the high light of the weekend. Already talking about coming back!

Great location
Easy to get to restaurants, stores and attractions. Beautiful views on the water. Some modernizing has occurred. More comfort needs (bedroom curtains in master and lighting) is required. Maintenance and basic cleaning need more attention.

Fun-Food-Family!!
Beautiful house and location, great view of Lake Huron, beach and lake just steps away. Trees galore and distance from the highway eliminated traffic noise and gave us a sense of seclusion. Rooms were large and comfortable. Convenient to shopping locations. We had a great time and left with many memories. Would highly recommend this property.

BEST vrbo in Oscoda!
The beach, the lawn, the volleyball court and fire pit make this property our favorite home away from home for our Camp Mom's Retreat each year.
