This place has everything you could need! The outdoor space is absolutely amazing, views for miles, peaceful sounds of the waves! Inside was very comfortable, great spot to relax and play games! The location was also great, very short drive into town or into Oscoda. Communication with the owners was very prompt. Highly recommend this place!

Just what we needed
We wanted a short get away just to relax and get away from everyday life. This Vrbo hit the spot. The best part of the whole weekend was listening to the waves hit the rocks right outside of the door. Wonderful weekend. Great hosts.

Late summer getaway
I brought my son and daughter (10 & 15) up to visit family in the area and have one more fun trip before school starts. The cottage was perfect! The kids would have liked to have been able to swim but there are beaches nearby and they had fun playing corn hole on the sand. We enjoyed the deck and all the fresh air. It was so nice to sleep with the windows open and hear the waves at night. The cottage was very clean and well-appointed. Kim was very responsive and booking through check-in was super easy. I definitely would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area!

My grandsons and I stayed two nights and had a wonderful time. We came for a family reunion held at Tawas Point State Park…..just a 10 mi minute drive away. We are not campers, but wanted to be nearby. This was a wonderful stay…..clean, amenities galore. Thank you.

Amazing gem in East Tawas!
This cottage is conveniently located away from the busyness of the town but only 5 minutes away. We enjoyed the sounds of the waves on Lake Huron whether inside or outside of the cottage. Beautiful sunrises! The owners have literally thought of everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The little details they have thought of are perfect! Thank you for allowing us to have a wonderful 10th anniversary getaway!

A little slice of heaven
I’ve stayed in a lot of vacation homes, this one was by far the most well appointed. Every little thing you could need is thought of and it’s so comfortable; the couch, the bed, the chairs outside. The view is stunning! You could easily never leave the property and be perfectly happy. If you should need to leave for anything, there are restaurants, groceries, public beaches, state park, all within 5 miles. I would highly recommend staying here and hope to return.

Perfect place to relax
We had a lovely time at this little house on the rocks. It had everything we needed and more. You can tell the hosts put thought in to the guest experience. Two thumbs up!! My only advice is bring a sleep mask if you like a dark bedroom. The blinds are great to let a breeze in and the sun.

Beautiful view right on the water We could hear the waves at night with the windows open. The owners thought of everything needed to make guests feel at home. Great use of space, and a very well executed update of an older lake cottage. Hosts were super easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!

Beyond Expectation
I really loved this cottage and East Tawas! The cottage was super cute and provided us with everything that we could just enjoy ourselves. Privacy, lake view and the location were definitely the highlights for me. We went to Tawas Point State Park, only a few minutes away to play at the beach. I thought this was a really nice park! I went on this getaway with my daughters and grandsons. My 3-year-old grandson said he didn't want to go home! I agreed with him.

The cabin was clean and comfortable. Like a home away from home. They really did think of everything to keep there. Cornhole on the beach was fun. The fire pit right in the sand. Great location right off the main road. And not a far drive from tawas or oscoda. I will be back.
