9. Little Brook Point, Tiny
Located on a buff, this property has been rendering visitors speechless for the past 70 years. Upgrades over the years have added modern amenities while the property still retains the traditional design elements. The house includes Wi-Fi access with coverage all the way on the beach, so you can post pictures no matter where you are on the property. Spread across 1.5 ac (0.61 ha), there is plenty of space from which to enjoy the absolutely breathtaking views.
The property is surrounded by towering trees all around while the deck leads down to the sandy shores of Lake Huron. Not just during the summer but this is a popular choice during the winter months as well, with ski resorts an hour from the cottage.

10. Beautiful beachfront property surrounded by a forest, Tiny (from USD 2773)
If you are looking for a secluded property to spend the summer with your family, this is an excellent choice. Surrounded by towering trees, the cottage is easily shielded from the neighbors. The highlight of this beachfront house is the wraparound porch, where guests dine and lounge all day. A pathway from the property leads out directly to the beach. And if you ever get tired of being by yourself, the town of Wasaga Beach is less than a 30-min drive away.
The host requires a rental agreement to be signed prior to arrival, and guests are responsible for any damage caused to the property.
