This place was great. I go to east tawas every year specifically for the dog beach. It was wonderful. The cottage was so close to the park and beaches. This is my first time getting a rental cottage instead of camping and my experience was fantastic from check in to check out. The communication was thorough and not too much and the host pretty much made sure to provide enough information about the property and surrounding area that I wasn’t left wondering about anything. And they go the length of providing window and portable ac units for comfort which I find is rare with vacation rentals that don’t have central air. 10/10 for my family of 5 and 2 dogs. We loved it.

Thanks for taking time to leave a review! I'm thrilled it was a good experience. We LOVE the dog beach too for our fur kiddos (and honestly, when the kids were younger the shallows were perfect for them too). We hope to host you again. -Kati

We had a great stay at the cottage! Couple pros:- state park is right there, and it is really nice. Dog beach and regular beaches there are great we went several days- the area is really nice with some good restaurants and we enjoyed staying outside- kayaks were great, we took them out- you can walk them to end of street to put in at the lake - beds were comfy, you can tell beds and pillows aren’t cheap crap, so sleep was decent. Cons:- I found the WiFi a bit weak, if you weren’t right next to it- I expected the lack of central a/c to be an issue in the summer, but it was mostly fine, the wall units mostly kept the place cool. The only exception is the sun room (gets a lot of sun) will get pretty warm during a hot day

Thank you so much for taking time to leave a review; we are glad you had a good visit. Wifi is fixed: our provider has been doing some work this year and it has resulted in variable Wifi (my family - we are wifi hogs so we pay for better service anyway) - a new router has been installed. The sunroom is a def not the cool spot on a hot day. :-) Thanks for taking care of our place and leaving a review! Happy to have you back.

Great East Tawas cottage

We had a nice time at the bungalow. Good shower and comfy beds. Very close to the state park. It's in a neighborhood and you can walk to the water (view, not swim). Would stay again.

Beautifully Decorated Beach Cabin

Our family stayed during the spring and it was a really cute little place. It had all the amenities we needed and was within walking distance to Tawas State Park. We also enjoyed the fire pit and smart tvs. Would definitely stay again!

This quaint cottage is in the perfect location. We were so close to the beach, state park, and marina where we rented a boat. They had everything and the washer/dryer was perfect after a day of hiking/boating!

great base from which to enjoy the Tawas area

We've been to Tawas before, staying downtown the last time. We preferred to stay at this property, which was within easy walking distance of the state park and a short drive away from the center of town. Our daughter and dog both seemed to enjoy the place and we all had a relaxing time in our new "home base" in Tawas.

Great place!

Nice little house! Weather was not great while I was there but saw there was kayaks, a bicycle, and a nice wagon to take your stuff to the beach, which was right down the road! Real close to lighthouse and state park with beautiful beach there too! Host was very attentive and friendly! I’d definitely stay again!
