Great location

Great property and close to Tawas for shopping and Lake Huron. Beautiful sunsets. Loved having a washer and dryer. We were a little disappointed that the Sand Lake access wasn’t closer but it all worked out. We drove to Lake Huron and swam in the Great Lake.

Comfortable, clean cottage

3 sisters and our mom, all of us senior ladies, spent 4 days at this cottage. Having 3 bedrooms, with one bedroom having bunk beds, allowed the 4 of us to each have our own sleep place. The place was very clean and the furnishings adequate and comfortable. The kitchen had adequate dishes, pots and pans, etc. There is a large room type air conditioner in the living room but it was sufficient to cool the whole cottage if we left the bedroom doors open. The cottage is actually bigger than it seemed from the pictures. Bedrooms were adequate size. The kitchen is ok in size with a table that could seat six. The living room is very nice size. There is a stacked washer and dryer just inside one of the bedrooms. There is 1 bathroom with a small shower. This may be a problem for families with small children or for families/groups larger than ours. The check in process was simple except that the door was very difficult to unlock and the key that usually comes out of the box, never did. We also had a problem with closing the bathroom and bedroom doors and having the latch mechanism jamb so the door wouldn't open. There is a small view of the lake from the cottage. But we never figured out if there was an access to the lake for us. However, my main complaint regarding this cottage is the added rental fees. The cottage rental was roughly $510. for the 4 nights we were there, but the cleaning fee, damage fee, and management fee brought the total to over $800.00. Yes, we paid a damage fee of $70+ prior to renting the property. We rented it anyway because 4 of us were sharing the cost and it met our desires for location and sleeping area. All in all we were quite happy with the rental and enjoyed our stay.
