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.

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!

Wonderful beach access right off your own deck.

We had a wonderful, relaxing time. It's the first time we were able to travel with our 2 cats and they loved sitting in the windows watching the waves. The hosts were 100% accessible and responsive, and we would definitely recommend this place and stay again ourselves.

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!

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.

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.

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

Awesome beach!

Very cute and clean rental. The beach area is wonderful and clean as well. Our entire stay was great. We stayed in rental #5 and were very pleased with everything. Dogs are welcomed there so that was a nice bonus for us to be able to swim with our pup. We will be back for another stay in the future. The only suggestion I have is to bring a camp or beach chair just incase the chairs for everyone to share are being used.
