Exploring the Beauty Around Sunny Side Cottages
Picture this: You wake up to the gentle sound of waves lapping the shore, step out onto the porch with your coffee in hand, and—bam!—a bald eagle soars overhead like it owns the place. Welcome to nature at its finest, folks. At Sunny Side Cottages, the great outdoors isn’t just a backdrop—it’s part of the experience. Whether you're an avid nature enthusiast or just someone who enjoys a good squirrel-watching session, there's something for everyone in this little slice of paradise on Lake Huron.
Feathered Celebrities: Birdwatching Like a Pro
If you’ve ever wanted to impress your friends with phrases like, “Did you see that majestic blue heron?” or “Wow, what a stunning pileated woodpecker,” this is the place to do it. Our feathery neighbors include:
Bald Eagles
– Because nothing says ‘nature’s royalty’ quite like these magnificent birds.
Great Blue Herons
– The leggy supermodels of the bird world, often spotted wading near the shoreline.
Loons
– Their eerie yet beautiful calls are the soundtrack of the north.
Hummingbirds
– Tiny, zippy, and absolutely adorable as they dart between wildflowers.
Furry and Fabulous: Critters You Might Meet
Nature around Sunny Side Cottages is basically a real-life Disney movie. Expect to see:
White-tailed deer
gracefully prancing through the woods, like they’re on a fashion runway.
Raccoons
(aka the masked bandits) who might try to steal your s’mores if you’re not careful.
Red foxes
sneaking around at dawn and dusk, looking effortlessly chic.
The Flora That Frames the Fun
Beyond the wildlife, the plant life here is equally impressive. The forests are home to towering pines, vibrant wildflowers, and even some tasty berry bushes if you know where to look (pro tip: leave the foraging to the pros unless you really know your berries). Come in the fall, and you’ll be treated to a fiery display of reds, oranges, and golds as the leaves put on their annual show.
Get Out and Explore
Whether you’re hiking the nearby trails, kayaking along the shore, or simply kicking back in an Adirondack chair soaking up the view, there’s no wrong way to enjoy the natural beauty surrounding Sunny Side Cottages.
So pack your binoculars, grab your camera, and get ready to meet some of the local wildlife. Just don’t be surprised if a chipmunk photobombs your selfies—after all, they live here too!
