Beautiful, clean, and conveniently located!!! We truly enjoyed this cottage right off Lake Huron. It was extremely clean, bed was very comfortable and it had everything we would need, a home away from home. Check in was super easy and the check out instructions were clear, quick and easy! We highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking for a quiet and beautiful get away!

Beautiful Loft Cottage with Lake Huron Views

We had a very comfortable and relaxing stay at this beautiful loft cottage just steps away from Lake Huron. Great Kitchen, bath and large loft with balcony view of Lake Huron. The owners are friendly and very helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was immaculate and exactly as pictured. Cozy and not too far from the Lake. You can get a view through the trees and hear the waves. Access to the Lake is not far. Check-in and Check-out instructions were very clear and easy to follow. A few of our favorite things were the towels and linens - they were luxurious. Silly thing to point out, but we've had some bad experiences and really only expect average for these little touches! King bed was super comfortable as well as the furniture. We felt spoiled. The hosts were very quick to respond when we had questions.

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.

Perfect!

Just a relaxing weekend away. Explored the area without crowds. Nice to come "home" to a place to call our own, if even just for a few days. We could relax, read, watch TV or whatever. Highly recommend this host and cottage.

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.

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!

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.

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!

By far the best place we have ever rented. The home was found to be in pristine condition. The hosts communicated with clear information before our rental dates. We were pleasantly surprised to find a box of chocolates & a bottle of wine with a welcome note waiting for us on the kitchen island. The hosts really thought of everything we might need. They even had filtered water on hand, along with coffee for the Keurig. Matching Bathrobes were hanging in the bedroom. We didn't use them, but what a great guest perk! The balcony deck off the bedroom is very nice for quiet reflection and a cup of coffee. The weather wasn't great for our stay, so we didn't get to take advantage of the Lake access. If we come this way again, we will surely stay here.

This lovely cabin is situated in a wooded area within a very very quiet neighborhood, with only a short walk to the private access beach. The interior is beautiful, with hand painted wall art in most of the rooms. Good quality home furnishings, an open kitchen area with everything we needed to make it our “home away from home” for our stay. Loved the open bedroom/loft area with its many windows and the deck facing the lake. Appreciated having a half bath on the loft level as well. All of our pre booking and pre arrival communication with the hosts was received and answered in a timely manner. I highly recommend this cabin if you are looking for a beautiful and restful stay in the East Tawas area.
