Lake Huron Cottage

My husband and I had a wonderful time staying in this cottage. It was very clean and comfortable. It is located about 10 minutes from downtown Tawas and even though it is not on the water with a short walk there is access to a sandy beach. Also, our host was great, they went out of their way to make our time enjoyable. We will definitely stay there again.

Dream home near the lake

This home is decorated beautifully and stocked with everything you could possibly need. With a short walk to the beach, the hosts gave us everything from chairs to a cooler/picnic gear. The communication with the hosts was supreme. Perfect place for those looking for an extended stay. I am already looking forward to coming back!

Quaint cottage

Completely impressed with cottage. Cleanliness is extremely important to us and this was just what I hoped for. It was well furnished in all areas of the cottage. Loved the deck to watch the morning sunshine and the evening end. Close proximity to town and the state park which had nice beach area. A pleasure to stay here.

Return Visit

My family returned this summer and it felt like coming home. This is a clean beautiful cottage in a quiet neighborhood to rest and relax. It is not far to the beach for some fun there. The town of East Tawas is a few miles away. There is always something to do if you want. If you like this area you will not regret staying here.

Beautiful cabin and awesome location

My husband and I stayed for the week with our adult daughters visiting for the weekend. This was a very clean cabin with a nice layout. The location is close to things to do but also very quiet. We felt like we were all on our own. The owners are nice and reach out occasionally to check on how things are going. We would definitely stay here again. It felt like home!

Well maintained, adorable, clean, cozy cottage

My spouse and I enjoyed this peaceful cozy cottage, the greeting of a bottle of wine and some locally made chocolate were a nice touch. The chocolate was so good we visited the store and purchased more. The home was very clean, very much updated and functioned well. Had all the items we needed, LOVE that coffee maker! The guest book with suggestions, menus, and maps helped us a great deal for both local food establishments and sites to visit was incredibly helpful. The Tawas city beaches and town were very clean. The owners were readily available but were not needed.Thank you for a wonderful stay! We would definitely stay here again!
