Life's a Hoot A-Frame Cabin - Au Gres

Welcome to Life's a Hoot, a fun and cozy lakefront cabin with private access from your door to the gentle waves of Saginaw Bay. With self check-in and comfortable accommodations, it’s easy to start your getaway the moment you arrive.

This cabin blends playful charm with the quiet beauty of a natural setting. Expect free-roaming wildlife, colorful skies at sunrise and sunset, and plenty of outdoor fun—from watersports and fishing to hunting in season and relaxing bonfires under the stars.

Step outside and let Michigan’s Up North air and the view of Lake Huron clear your mind. As evening falls, gather around the firepit, listen to wood popping in the flames, share stories, and look up at a sky full of stars reflecting on the bay. Inside, you’ll find a welcoming living space and snug bedrooms designed for rest and relaxation.

The fully equipped kitchen and dining area make mealtimes easy, whether you’re whipping up breakfast before a day on the water or grilling dinner out on the deck. Enjoy coffee as the sun rises, watch and listen for birds and other wildlife, and savor the peaceful surroundings that make Life's a Hoot special.

Each season brings something new—summer evenings spent paddling on the bay spotting fish and turtles, fall colors framing the water, winter walks across the frozen lake under the moon, and spring mornings with fresh air and birdsong. Your hosts fell in love with these simple, awe-inspiring moments and are happy to share them with you.

Located on the shores of Lake Huron in a calm rural neighborhood, Life's a Hoot is just minutes from town but free of busy traffic and noise. Arenac County Beach and its 900-foot sandy stretch are less than a mile away. Free on-site parking is included, and you’re about 12 miles from Standish and 21 miles from East Tawas.
