Pleasantly surprised

The statement “ideal getaway for nature lovers!” Is spot on! We went up there to get away from downstate light pollution to get a better view of Perseid meteor showers and didn’t really research the property much besides location. It was a very beautiful and private and very well kept property with a lot of wildlife that we hope to visit again soon when we can plan on spending more time there. Thanks again Sam!

Sanctuary Road

We visit the Tawas area often and this time we found this awesome little treasure somewhat off the beaten path from downtown East Tawas. We chose the smaller of the three units available and it was spacious, comfortable, modern and was very clean; it was perfect for us. The property was beautiful with plenty of wildlife to enjoy and my wife and I loved walking around and taking it all in. The lodge is not too far from downtown East Tawas, which has a good selection of restaurants, shopping, and wonderful views of Lake Huron. Other points of interest are Lumberman's Monument and Iargo Springs both of which run along the Au Sable River providing a beautiful scenic backdrop for some great photo opportunities. Tuttle Marsh, which is near by, is a must for any nature lover, bring your camera and binoculars! Our host Sam was very welcoming and responsive and we enjoyed getting to know him, make sure to ask about the history of the property. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay, we felt at home here and look forward to visiting again very soon!

Peaceful, quiet, and abundant wildlife

This place is perfect for a little getaway. Sam is a wonderful host, and we enjoyed the clean and inviting accommodations. We saw many deer, trumpeter swans, raccoons, sandhill cranes, etc. We kayaked in Oscoda and spent two peaceful evenings here. We will return.

Peaceful

Very clean, great communication, and peaceful area. This was the perfect stay for our golf weekend! It was relaxing to walk the property and listen to nature first thing in the morning, and late at night. It was a great break from checking phones and watching tv since it’s tucked back in the woods! Owners are very nice and accommodating!
