"The cottage exceeded our expectations. Everything you need is there. The cottage is completely updated and decorated exactly as I would decorate a beach cottage. We really enjoyed our stay; lots of beach time with our grandchildren and bike rides. We will probably book an annual stay here." - Kathleen W "Comfortable, well located cottage. Great bird watching!" -Christine T. About The Cottage: A charming bungalow a stone's throw from Tawas Point State Park, the bike path, and 3 miles to town amenities - take the bike path! This 3 bed/1 bath 1200 sqft bungalow offers space and comfort for your getaway! A short walk to Tawas Point State Park and hiking, bird-watching and breathtaking vistas of both Tawas Bay and Lake Huron. A deeded Lake Huron access point at the end of the street (3 houses down) - just enough to toss in a kayak or check out the wave action. Bareboat Bungalow is set up for families - and works well for couples as well. 1 bedroom downstairs (queen) and two bedrooms upstairs (king, 2 twins). The home maintains some rustic charm while also offering comforts like wireless internet, smart tv's (bring your Netflix info or use the free viewing apps) and newer furniture and appliances. We DO have some renovation plans, primarily the kitchen but its fully functional (bring your own dishwasher - the human variety!) Walk the park, enjoy the beaches moments away, ride your bikes into town. Enjoy crisp fall days with the gas fireplace to keep you warm, or sit in the front room with the wall heater keeping you warm. Small camper or camper van? Please inquire - we do have a 30 AMP plug available. Only with express approval may bookers bring a camper or camper van. Note: This home does not have central heating or cooling, however you will find we have made it quite comfortable with supplemental space heaters and window/portable AC, depending on the season. New in 2025: Window a/c units added for warm weather season in both upstairs bedrooms! WHAT TO DO? Aside from hiking, swimming, and biking practically outside the front door/in the state park, head to Corsair for renowned groomed cross country skiing, snowshoe through the state park, or just meander the charming neighborhood. Check out Lumbermans Monument or Iargo Springs. Wander through the quaint town of East Tawas and don't leave without walking out the state dock. An outdoor firepit and deck offers a great spot for evenings at home. Our street is right off the bike path that takes you into town (3 miles) and beyond. This home is for an adventurous couple or family looking to take advantage of the area. BRINGING KIDS? We own this home because we had youngish kids at the time and wanted a great location to get us walking, hiking and biking! It worked! Even now as teens they enjoy our getaways. The living room and front room both have TV's and room to spread out without needing to fight over the remote. The shark-themed bedroom inspires imaginations and we've left some books and Legos (note, we do NOT sanitize those after every visit, but we do so regularly.) REMOTE WORK? Bring your laptop(s) and use the provided wifi (400 mpbs good for large file downloads and multiple devices streaming HD) and extend your weekend into the week! A desk in the upstairs bedroom can offer privacy for a conference call. The front room and living room both offer table space. PETS? Well-mannered dogs considered, must be leashed outside or have excellent recall. Not all of our neighbors enjoy dogs, and there is a lot of wildlife and other dogs in the area. OTHER: Active security cameras in use in garage/home exterior. Contactless check-in and out. We won't bother you unless you need us! If you need something, or the property isn't up to par please let us know as soon as reasonable. It's just us, this isn't a property management company or a hotel - we are working and raising our family so we are unlikely to respond in the middle of the night, but we do want the opportunity to make your stay great! DISCLAIMERS: This house in a location where you may experience wildlife. Being surrounded by water means a lot of bugs, such as fish flies, which hatch out in mass when the weather conditions are just so. We have had times where our house was coated with them! Mosquitos can make the evening a bit less delightful for sitting on the porch. There are also frogs, snakes, birds, foxes, deer, raccoons, possum - all have been seen in our yard. Some regularly. Things you can do - don't have the porch lights on and open doors (I've made this mistake and had a fish fly hatch in the house!), bring repellants of choice for mosquitos and have a sense of adventure. If you bring a pet, don't just let them out the door. Leash your dog or ensure they are well trained to not leave the yard (and know you may find wildlife in the yard) SUMMER RESERVATIONS: We will open our summer calendar mid- to late January, once we confirm our summer plans. We require a 5-night minimum between Memorial Day and Labor Day - we will reduce this requirement to 3 nights for any remaining summer dates in mid- to late April. Returning guests can always message me for preferred dates, we'll do our best to accommodate. DAMAGE INSURANCE: We require the purchase of damage protection insurance, which covers up to $3000 of damage over your stay. This is independent of (and costs less than) VRBO's coverage and you will see this line item assessed as a Property Fee. You will be responsible for any damages in excess of the coverage allowance. OTHER FEES: Taxes are assessed as Michigan's Use Tax (6%), cleaning fee and pet fee if applicable. We hope you enjoy your stay! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the marina - On a lake ### Things to do - Boat - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,200 square feet ## Similar properties ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/54000000/53920000/53916500/53916421/96b9e0c4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### (Depine) Cozy 3 Bedroom Cottage LAKEFRONT/BEACHFRONT - PETS OK East Tawas - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 9.0 Wonderful 24 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=53916421&PinnedHotelID=53916421&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/65000000/64930000/64924700/64924603/7ca602dd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakefront Retreat: Escape to a SANDY Pet Friendly private Lake Huron Beach!

Three kayaks, a wagon for beach excursions, life jackets for all ages, grill, cooking utensils, spices, etc. made for an easy trip with our daughter and her family. Beds were very comfortable! On small wrinkle was the upstairs was a little warm. However, upstairs A/C and fans were a great help. Being near Tawas State Park was wonderful! Beach and bike path therein were great! ##### LAURA H. Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jill Marie I. Sep 12, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Tawas We enjoyed our time together. Cottage was just the right size for our needs. Walking distance to the state park. Place could use some updating. While it was only 75 out side, the cottage got quite hot. ##### Jill Marie I. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachael P. Aug 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved it! We had an absolutely lovely week at BareBoat Bungalow! Perfect location near Tawas State Park for beaches and exploring. Only 25 minutes to Lumberman’s Monument and Largo Springs hiking. Beautiful sunrise and sunset views on the point. We loved playing games in the four seasons room and relaxing with a book. Plenty of room for our family and we couldn’t have asked for better communication from the host. We used the kayaks and beach chairs and wagons - so convenient and fun! We visited the farmers market and shopped downtown as well! Went bowling and found a couple of great places to eat and also cooked at home. Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing week, we hope to visit again. ##### Rachael P.
