Great stay

Whole process was very easy all the way around. Great hosts!! The only disappointment was the lack of kitchen supplies, ie, a blender, salad spinner, more large plates and veggie bowls. A tea kettle and tea pot, would have been nice. Otherwise , all great!

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!

Lovely Lake View Cottage

This cottage was perfect for me. It was very nicely furnished and decorated just like the photos show. The beds were comfy, the view was very pretty from the upstairs balcony and it was such a short drive to the marina and our boats, to the State Park and also to downtown. The kitchen was well equipped and the upstairs 1/2 bath was very convenient. All in all very cozy, comfy and beautiful. I will be coming back soon!

beautiful cottage in lovely location

This loft cottage was exactly as described on the website, the loft bedroom (with its own half bath) easily accessible with a regular staircase, convenient even for older guests. Good lighting. Great star gazing from deck off the loft, with east view toward Lake Huron. Beach access is around the corner and down a few short blocks, convenient for walking. All in all, a very relaxing place, beautifully designed. Owners are gracious and quick to respond to messages.

Quick visit

Home was impeccable and hosts were extremely helpful. Unfortunately, the weather was freezing and it was difficult to stay warm. We tried to walk to end of street to get a glimpse of Lake Huron but a neighbor rudely informed us it was private property. There wasn’t another sole around -all we wanted was a Quick Look as it was too cold for anything else. Perhaps in the warmer weather it’s easier to get beach access and the welcome book did give directions to beach but at that point we were put off and too cold to venture out. The pictures of place were very accurate and I’m so happy to have stayed in such a beautiful home but the surrounding area was not what we expected. However, if I ever needed a place to stay in this area I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place.

Very clean and comfortable beds! Upon arriving there were no lights on. We had a delay at the rental car place at Detroit metro. We didn't get to rental until 10pm. Just a suggestion, maybe leave a light on at the house. It was hard to find in the dark. It is a Keurig coffee machine. We enjoyed our stay overall!

This was a beautiful home in a wonderful location. Getting in was easy, the hosts left a lot of information including restaurant menus, ideas of things to do and simple checkout instructions. They left us a complimentary bottle of wine, water and a sweet gesture for anniversary. It was very clean, bright and well cared for.

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!

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Nazih and Laurene Hazime

Host profile image
We both were born and raised in Southeast Michigan, and had a connection to beautiful and pristine Northeast Michigan. We spent many vacations with family and friends on or around the shores of Lake Huron. When we married, we bought a vacation home in East Tawas. We found the the shores of Lake Huron provided a peaceful and fulfilling environment at the same time all the qualities and serenity of small town Lake life. After living out of state for several years, once we both retired, our vacation home became our permanent home. We enjoy the tranquil, peaceful and worry-free life on beautiful Lake Huron, where the calmest of days provide peacefulness to the soul, and the blistering days and ferociousness of the water awakens our senses and stimulates our adventure to another beautiful day on Lake Huron.

Why they chose this property

We wish to share with others the tranquil quality of life on Lake Huron that we enjoy. We purchased this Cottage Loft home so others may experience the pristine peacefulness and every changing Lake Huron. And we hope it will draw people back to the Lake over and over again, to fulfill their soul and provide a new adventure every time.

What makes this property unique

The uniqueness of the Cottage Loft, from it’s new and beautifully accomplished interior walls, floors, and unique fine finishes, to the exterior quality construction and appointments. From the porch swing to the lighted pathway from the driveway, it is beautiful workmanship. It was newly upgraded and remodeled in 2018 with the finest of finishings from the fully equipped kitchen to the shower with a cascading waterfall tile wall, and the beautiful wood flooring of the Loft. We were drawn to the quaintness of the interior, but also to the views of Lake Huron 150 feet away from the Loft balcony and sitting areas, where others may come and enjoy rest and relaxation, and be able to rejuvenate their souls.
