About this property

5 minutes from Downtown East Tawas, On The Rocks is a cottage on Lake Huron

On The Rocks is a relaxing cottage located on Lake Huron. Come enjoy the view of the water, the morning sunrise, and relax in the sunshine during the day or by the fire pit in the evening. Only 5 min north of downtown East Tawas. Quite, private setting. Enjoy the BBQ or head into town and let some else do the work for you. Just minutes away from the state park with a great beach and lighthouse.

Within a 5 minute drive to downtown and you will find amazing restaurants, great shopping, putt putt, ice cream, great beachs and parks. Don’t forget to visit the Tawas Point light house. Or head north 5-10 minutes into Oscoda.

Perfect place for a getaway

The cabin is so charming and clean! Loved the location as it was close to downtown area and beaches. If I had one thing to suggest, lamps would be nice in each bedroom and another one in the living area. Overall it was a perfect getaway and we’d love to come back next summer
