About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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!

During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Dewey Durant Park. A kitchen and a patio are available in the vacation home.

Air-conditioned home with kitchen, patio, and sofa bed
Just a 3-minute walk from Dewey Durant Park and 11 minutes by foot from Lake Huron

Quiet and great location

The property is in a cute neighborhood walking distance to downtown East Tawas. But you would never know you are that close. It was very quiet and peaceful. The back covered porch was nice to sit and drink our morning coffee before hitting the beach. The host even provides beach towels which was an added plus. We enjoyed our stay

The Garbage can was full when we arrived. There was an objectionable fragrance device plugged into the wall. I wasn’t sure if the sheets were clean.

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

Fabulous stay!

Wonderful and cozy lodging! Our girl's trip was a blast in East Tawas and our lodging was perfect. Close to downtown, clean and cozy, pull-out couch was comfortable(I slept on it myself). Lots of hot water and water pressure was great. We will rent again for sure :)

Exactly as posted. A feel of up north in tawas

Stay was great. My only suggestion is your check in says recycling bin available and we only seen big trash bin outside so we took the recycling with us when we left. Unless you meant the little recycling bins in the house but we didn’t want to leave it in the house when we left

A cute little cottage

This is a charming little house. The owners have put a lot of home decor into it. And it definitely has a retro feel to it. I liked it. Could have been cleaner and maintained more. Like the cupboards could use a fresh coat of paint, the deck power washed around the edges. A new back door off the kitchen/deck(paint cracked?) A newer bed spread in one of the 2 bedrooms would go a long way. But it was a fine little vacation place. In beautiful Tawas. And the owners were very nice and let us in earlier in the day than expected!
