We loved our third stay here!

It was another great stay at this house. It is perfectly spacious, modernly/cleanly decorated and is perfect for our annual family reunion.

This property is really nice - walkable to downtown East Tawas and the beach. The house was clean with all amenities with lots of comfortable living area to relax. The third bedroom is a converted attic and was very hot on our first day (to the point where we could not use it for sleeping). Also, the staircase is narrow and steep, so not a good fit for young children. The other two bedrooms, though, were comfortable, with one being large enough for a king bed and lots of space to spare.

Don't let the outside of this plain frame house mislead you. It's a house typical of the neighborhood but inside there are a lot of great upgrades and it's nicely appointed and very clean.We came to Tawas for a getaway in late March after cancelling a out of state trip. The living room, bedrooms and kitchen are extremely comfortable and there are new appliances and lighting. It's an easy two block walk from the downtown. The property is also pet-friendly and has a fenced-in yard. But pet owners - pick up after your dogs, will you? Otherwise the rest of us do it.Communication with the owner was very easy. I don't know what the summer is like or the beach access but for off-season it is a super quiet, peaceful getaway.

Our first trip in nearly 2 years and it was great. The home is in a quiet neighborhood and very close to the shops, restaurants, and the lake. Furniture and beds were comfortable and the yard was fenced in for our two dogs. We would gladly stay again in the future.

Quiet Weekend in East Tawas

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage. Located in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood and just two blocks from the main downtown area, this cottage had everything we needed for our stay. Hosts were quick to respond to messages prior to our arrival. No issues. Definitely would stay here again!

Spring Stay

Perfect combination of vintage and modern decor in this spacious, light bungalow in a quiet neighborhood close to the cute shopping district and lakeshore. We enjoyed easy access to the bike trail to the state park and Alabaster as well as the lightly travelled streets for exploring the town. We had everything we needed and more, including a bouquet of fresh flowers and a basket of yummy snacks.

Perfect house. Perfect location.

We enjoyed our stay and wished we could’ve stayed a week longer. Walk to everything. The house had plenty of amenities. Coffee on the porch was the best way to start the morning. The window ac had a little trouble keeping the whole house cool to our liking, but overall, we had an excellent stay. The host was very responsive and quick. Would definitely stay here again.
