    Very close to downtown area and beach area accessible by walking, biking or driving. Many thoughtful amenities provided by hosts. The only thing I would change is the bedding was too firm for our taste as we prefer a more comfort level.

    Magical Christmas

    We stayed with our family consisting of 2 3 year olds and 2 infants. It was amazingly spacious, so clean, and they even set up a little tree to make it really feel like home. The accommodations were amazing and we will be looking to book this house again for any stay we have in Tawas. Can’t thank the owners enough for such an amazing stay.

    Awesome memories

    The property was very spacious and very clean! A lot of special touches were provided. Everyone had space to hang out but also rooms large enough to come together. close by the River Scenic Road, beautiful fall colors to see overlooking the Ausable River. Also, 2 blocks from train tracks that go thru town. Grandsons loved it! Close to beaches which would be great for a summer vacation. We will be back. Thank you for a great stay!

    Great house for mid to large sized group

    We stayed in mid-August. The house is located about 5 blocks from downtown East Tawas and the marina/beach—an easy walk. The house is very clean, and very well-appointed. Plenty of cookware, cutlery, etc. They supply some snacks, a loaf of bread, eggs, milk, and water bottles. Each bedroom has a tv and Roku. Two living spaces. The owners were very helpful and responsive. We accidentally left an item, which they notified us about and sent it by mail back to us. We are definitely going to be staying here again! Thank you!!

    What a great place to stay. 2 coworkers and I stayed there for business. What a great location. We felt safe and secure. This location had two tables for us to work and eat from. I had Great communication with Ida. quick to respond and so friendly. I have never been to a Verbo that had so many staples at the house for you including all the different appliances, Coffee, creamer, seasonings, snacks, trash bags, I could go on for 30 minutes about all the extras. What a great location and convenient to downtown. Walking distance to everything. (during our stay was cold outside so we did not walk but would have if it was warmer) We will be back to stay again. Thank you, Ida, for making our stay comfortable.

    We had an amazing weekend getaway at a house that allowed us to spend quality time together, playing games, visiting, relaxing, and enjoying each other's company. The location was ideal, as we could easily walk downtown to join in the festivities. The owners of the house were fantastic to work with, and we're already looking forward to booking our stay again next year.

    This home was so warm and welcoming and very, very clean and fresh. The additional amenities that were not listened were a welcome surprise. We planned to do some meal preparation and baking during our stay and the kitchen was very-well stocked with all of the basics. Ida, the host was very responsive during our stay whenever we had a question. One of our family members had already booked it for the holidays based on the pleasant stay we had. Highly recommend!
