Come step back in time. Settle into the peace you'll feel camping under the majestic trees that have a tale to tell, up on top of a secluded hill with an expansive view of Lake Huron, or choose an open green field on the edge of a country road where you can drive or walk a few miles and discover old Sturgeon Point Lighthouse, and Bailey Schoolhouse. Fish, canoe or take a swim. Bike through the winding roads with the songs of birds nearby and an occasional family of deer. Or gather moss and birchbark to create something special. Pick some heritage apples in our orchard. Wander through 10 wondrous acres of forest trails behind the stone house. or walk the sandy shores of Lake Huron one .minute away and pick up colorful rocks and plentiful driftwood. If you sense the wonder of this place, you may also be one of the few to witness a little known Native American mound still standing only 30 minutes away near Mikado to the west. And if you want to adventure further, you can find the Maritime Museum with free admission and glass bottom boat with tales of ships sunken in the Great Lakes nearby or visit the Besser Museum both a 35 minute drive to the north.

The shed in the backyard does have a lock on it, and the key is hanging on the coat hook for use. There are 1,000s of acres of state land directly across the street, great for hunting & exploring. The ORV trailhead is at the end of the street with some of the best trails for ATV's, dirt bikes, UTV's and snowmobiles. You can ride directly from the Kozy Kabin to the trails. There should be plenty of room to park your truck/trailer and additional cars in the driveway as well. Please do not ride in the yard, keep it on the trails.

Blue Heron Homestead

2 sites · Lodging1 acre · Au Gres, MI
Spend an enchanting evening on the shores of the Saginaw Bay. We are located in the North Bay- the northern end of the Saginaw Bay in a secluded coastal marsh. Enjoy some of the best views of stars in the Lower Peninsula, or roast marshmallows around a bonfire while the sound of frogs singing lulls you to sleep. Wake up to the sounds of blue herons and snowy egrets coasting over the bay as the sun rises in the morning and enjoy the biodiversity of plants and birds that call this part of Lake Huron home. Watch eagles and kingfishers fish as you kayak the marsh or just lounge in hammocks and enjoy the tranquility of this region. Activities: Kayaking- bring your own kayak or use one of ours. The bay is very shallow here and an ideal spot for a leisurely paddle. Take a tour by kayak of the maze of marsh, or kayak out to the tip of Point Au Gres. Fishing-Perch, Walleye , catfish, bluegill, sunfish, pike and bass are common in the North Bay. Need fishing gear or a license? Stop to Norm's Sporting Goods at the traffic light in Au Gres for a local experience. Birdwatching- This spot is truly a birdwatcher's paradise. In the summer we see abundant herons, egrets, kingfishers, swans, grebes, and a myriad of ducks on a daily basis. During migration seasons the bird action is endless. Swimming- although the marshy coastline here is not ideal for swimming you can easily kayak out to a sandbar or jump in, or just down the road is a public county park with a sandy beach. Visit the Northeast Region! Au Gres has few amenities or restaurants, but 20 minutes north Tawas has ample public beaches, dozens of bars and restaurants, a Walmart and other provisions you may want. The Huron National forest outiside of Tawas also has many great hiking trails, ORV trails and more.

Overview

About

Come get some sweet lovin’ from mother nature and by sweet lovin’ we mean the sexiest damn lakefront views right from your tent. They say looks aren’t everything, but seeing Lake Huron aglow in the sparkling sun the moment you wake up sure does soften any reservations you may have had about sleepin’ outside. It may just be possible that coming here, you will find the best beach you’ve ever been to, right smack dab in the middle of the country. Beach it up 'til you're dizzy and wind it down on a chill 2 mile trail to check out the grounds and admire some midwest pines. Must've been a good date with nature, she’s inviting you to spend the night. Camp out or do some cabining, either way nature will make you comfortable!
