Relax on the Sandy Shore of Lake Huron

Welcome to The Sweetwater Sea B&B - your modern beachfront boutique inn

The sunrise coast is calling!  Perched over its own sandy Lake Huron beach, our bed and breakfast offers a unique opportunity to taste the Great Lake life at its best: scan the horizon from north to south - nothing but water and sky as far as the eye can see.  Indoors, enjoy our huge windows that fill the house with natural light.  Cozy nooks for reading, common areas for conversation, and luxurious bedrooms lulled by the sound of waves rolling in.  Adjacent patios and porches offer the sun and a fresh breeze.  The walkable shore for miles in either direction offers beach combing and rock collecting, sunning on our sandy beach, or a refreshing swim in the big waves.  Hop in the car and find yourself minutes away from Oscoda, the Au Sable River, the Huron National Foret and many other natural surroundings. These exciting activities, breathtaking scenery, and many local treasures are part of your Northern Michigan adventure.

What's in a Name?

In 1615, French explorer Samuel de Champlain became the first European to describe his encounter with a Great Lake.  When he came to the shore of Lake Huron, he was astounded by what he found.  A vast body of water extending as far as the eye can see, with rolling waves and a strong sea breeze.  It was an sea, but surprisingly, it was not salty.  Using the European term for fresh water, he called it “la mer douce” - The Sweetwater Sea.

At the Sweetwater Sea Bed and Breakfast, we pride ourselves on offering you the opportunity to wake up each morning to our awesome view of Lake Huron and share the amazement felt by de Champlain.  Between our patio and Sauble Beach, Ontario, directly East, stands just over 100 miles of sweet water.
