It is with bittersweetness that we say goodbye to Anchorage Cottages this morning. We lived on Mother Huron's shore for nearly 7 years, with 10 retreats, 6 Summer seasons, 794 reviews on Airbnb and thousands of social media posts. These numbers don't come close to describing the myriad of memories we have from living on this land. We were unaware of how this place would challenge us and shape our next steps. So much joy and peace were found looking into her waters. Healing has been accelerated with her sand between our toes. To those who loved her, she is still there. We have passed her care to two other Michiganders who love the North and its cozy charm. We love you Huron and you are forever within us now.
❤️Elena

Goodbye Anchorage

The porch holds the echo of a thousand summer nights,
Of distant stars and fading lights.
The screen door has a certain creak, a rhythm all its own,
A wooden map of every year that we have called this home.

We’re packing up, leaving all the laughter that we’ve gathered through the years.
It’s in the floorboards’ silver grain, the dust motes in the hall,
The pencil marks of a growing kid upon the pantry wall.

The lake remains a mirror, blue and deep and ever-still,
Ignoring that our names won’t be the ones upon the bill.
It doesn’t know the papers signed, or that the locks are new;
It only knows the morning mist and evening’s golden hue.

So may the ones who follow us find magic in the breeze,
And plant their own new memories beneath these trees.
We take the spirit with us, though we leave the view behind—
For a house is made of timber, but a home is made of mind.
❤️Jackie

Lake Huron water levels rose 5.5 feet between 2013 and 2020, setting record highs in the last 100 years. And now, between 2020 and 2025, water levels have dropped over 4.5 feet. We are sitting at less than 1.5 feet from all time record lows. The fluctuations are quite amazing!
