This is our second time coming here with our family and dogs, and we absolutely love it. The cabins are nice and the direct access to the beach with miles of sandy shores can’t be beat. We will definitely be back

Great getaway

This spot is great for a long weekend getaway if you’re looking to enjoy a Michigan beach. It’s right on the water with great views and kayak access. Quiet area but still close enough for a short drive to little towns if you want to go out to eat or walk around. Hosts were very friendly!

Great Place to Stay

My husband and I stayed here before and came back because we enjoyed it so much. We love waking up in the morning and looking out at the water while having our coffee. It doesn’t get any better than this. Tim and Nancy are great.

Best Little Beach in Oscoda!

I love The Lazy Fish! The cabins are well set up and the view is perfect! There's a beach firepit for chilly nights, and plenty of beach chairs for enjoying the sun. Tim and Nancy are super easy to communicate with. This was my 2nd stay, and it will be my annual Oscoda destination.

Very beautiful will definitely book again

This place is right on the water. Being able to go right outside on the beach is such an amazing experience. The place itself was very cute and had everything we needed. I loved it and if you are looking for somewhere cozy with a nice view of the water this place is perfect. They also had a bonfire which we really enjoyed.

Was very hot our stay, but the breeze being right on the water made it perfect. Our lab had so much fun swimming. Beautiful sandy beach. Clean, cute and perfect for the 3 of us. We will be back.

Perfect Beachside Getaway for One (and a Pup!)

I enjoyed a peaceful weekend at The Lazy Fish, a quaint studio right on the water. The cabin was perfect for a solo traveler and my dog. The owner was welcoming and easily reachable, adding to the comfort of my stay. The private grill and shared firepit were great for enjoying the outdoors. There was plenty to explore in and around town. Ideal for anyone seeking a simple lakeside escape.

Amazing Experience

We had a great time and loved our little cabin. The view of the lake and sunrise was beautiful. They had everything you could possibly need and was a comfortable place to stay. The staff and owners are super kind and down to earth. It was a great pleasure doing business with them and we are already looking forward to our next visit!

Rest and relaxation

The owners are very friendly and our in the process of fixing up the cabins. The cabins are older, but nice. The View of the water is breath taking. You can't any closer to the water from your cabin. We had our dog Angel she loved it. We will be back

The beach was absolutely incredible & The location on the beach was fabulous. You walk out your door to the sand!!! you can walk for over a mile on the Lake Huron shoreline... The fact that I could bring my dog with me is why I chose this place.But I must include that The unit itself left a lot to be desired. It definitely needs a lot of love. It was clean, there were towels, There is new tile in the bathroom....There were dishes, a stove, a refrigerator but all very dated and old...If you're looking for a fabulous beach in a great location where you can bring your dogs and your kidsThis place is for you..If you want an updated place on the beach you will be a little disappointed The pictures online seem about ten years old...
