About this property

Within walking distance of downtown East Tawas, the state dock, and the beach, this cozy cottage, in a quiet downtown neighborhood, feels like you are staying in the woods "up north." Start your morning with a cup of coffee on the deck before heading out to explore the lighthouse at nearby Tawas State Park, or visit Lumberman's Monument on the Ausable River and drive River Road, stopping at the many overlooks.

Every season holds opportunities for exploration: cross-country skiing or snow shoeing in the winter; birdwatching in the spring; beaches and boating in the summer; color tours in the fall. Come to East Tawas and see what you can find!

Family Weekend Trip

This was a great place to stay in downtown Tawas. Easy walking distance to town, but we were going to the state park everyday.

Quick getaway

The location and amenities were amazing. It was a quiet neighborhood. The house was comfortable and quaint. It was a little musty smelling though, which caused some issues with allergies, but overall good place to stay. Owners were amazing at communicating with me.

Perfect with a deep cleaning

We were 4 adults all in our 70 and 80’s. Love the location, like the layout, owner was very helpful and friendly. However was greatly disappointed in the sofa’s needed to be replaced, the throw rugs on the floor to cover the dirty carpet, the soft mattress in the bedroom to the right of the bathroom, the dirty back deck and furniture not able to use and messiness of the cupboards in kitchen.would not return unless these things are taken care of. Felt high priced for the dirtyness and uncomfortable furniture. Thanks, Karen Davis
