About this property

Sage, Mermaid Coast Cottages on Lake Huron

NO ADDTIONAL FEES! No cleaning fees or pet fees.
Adorable old fashion log cabin with tons of charm 350 feet from Lake Huron. Property is on Lake Huron for beautiful views all guests can enjoy. The interior is vintage and cozy. Claw foot tub with updated shower stand added. One bedroom has bunk full beds and other had one full bed. Guests have access to Lake Huron and the deck and steps built at the waters edge. There is a picnic table at the water egde as well and a badminton net. Host lives on site and is available whenever home to assist guests with their needs. The property has two other cottages and owners home. There are a lotof trees and not many neighbors. It's quiet and peaceful. We have many many bird species and lots of black squirrels and chipmunks to watch. Lake Huron is a short walk down the driveway for beautiful views. We have a picnic table and hammock at the water front for all guests to enjoy. Bring your bike and take a ride down Baldwin Resort Rd to Tawas Beach where you can take the bike lane all the way to the Tawas Point State Park or into town This property sits on wooded sand dunes next to Lake Huron. It is rural and quiet. However, because it is next to the lake and in the woods we share our property with nature. We take every precaution to keep nature outside but this is a 1950's style cabin and sometimes nature comes in anyway. Wifi is functional but slow. Not recommended for streaming.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Cabin was cozy and rustic. Had everything that was needed for a nice escape from the city life. Lots of great things to do in the area and the heater was quite nice on chilly nights. Hope to make it back sometime soon!

Lovely weekend getaway!

I stayed in this place for a weekend with two of my friends. It's such a cozy little cabin & we enjoyed spending our evening there with nothing but the radio :) The next morning, we only had a short walk to the lake to view the cold November sunrise

Our time away

Cabin was nice clean and comfortable for us and our two dogs. The view from the private dock there is an amazing was amazing. Just one thing for those who have dogs who love the water like ours. There is no access to the water on the property, however, the state park is two miles away and there is an amazing dog beach there!

Lovely cabin with views of the lake!

The cabin was very cozy and had everything we needed. It's a smaller place but we planned on spending most of our time exploring and we had room in the cabin for myself, my husband and our 2 young sons and dog. It's beautiful to see Lake Huron and its a pretty quiet street if you want to go for a walk/bikeride. Close to the Point and also to downtown East Tawas. Very cute place and the owners were nice--also simple check-out which is a treat.

Nice getaway

Enjoyed our stay! Nice, clean semi secluded location only a few minutes from the state parks and beaches. Clean, simple, no frills cottage there was no ac unit but lots of fans! All of the electric outlets only had two prong plugins but luckily they supplied a three way converter for my moms cpap machine.

It is not waterfront. Fourth house from the lake.

The cabin was clean, but very dated. Owner was very responsive, which means a lot.

Quant cabin getaway

The cabin was perfect for what we needed. The double sized bunk beds were a nice bonus. The hosts were amazing and responded to our need’s immediately. It did not bother us but the WiFi was spotty. I’d just plan on not having any reception. Beautiful location and the private dock was nice. Did not bother us walking by the other cabins to get to the lake. I would definitely stay here again if in the area.

This little cottage is very rustic. Location is close to everything in Tawas. Had everything we needed only dowside was the stove had 2 burners we couldn't get to operate and the hot water wasn't constant and had a couple of cold showers. The views are just as posted it is the first cabin off the road so there is absolutely No breeze! It can get very warm. But we had a blast played board games at night and theres a little stereo in the corner we also brought CD's. Had a campfire saw about 12 deer which was pretty cool. We had a lot of much needed laughs!

An engaged couple and their dog!

A couple and their dog. My girlfriend & I got engaged on this trip! And it all went incredibly well because of our VRBO property rentals. This was our first extended vacation together with a dog and the property and surrounding areas & restaurants were all very dog friendly! If we ever came back to this area again I would consider rebooking this property because the stay was good. The property owners were very proactive and reached out ahead of time providing important information to us before we needed. That is especially great if you traveling in areas where the broadband isn’t great. We loved this property and appreciate it helping us make some wonderful memories for us!

Rustic cabin with great potential. Beds were comfy.... but the cabin was not CLEAN. Floors had not been swept or mopped in a very long time. Cob webs throughout the whole cabin. Upon arriving....the amount of spiderwebs, bugs etc outside near the front door made it appear it had been closed up for the entire season. Very disappointing. Went by previous reviews saying it was clean! I was glad we had not booked more than one night.

It was very cute and clean. The host was very responsive. I will say the cabin is not on the beach. But just a little walk to the dock. If you plan on swimming and enjoying beach i would go to shoreline, harbor park or the state park is amazing. We definitely enjoyed our time. And downtown is awesome. But I will say none of the restaurants we ate were good. We mostly cooked after the bad experience. But we are also from down state and the food downriver is way different. So if you plan on eating bbq is your best bit. But overall the cabin was amazing.

There is not a beach. It should be cleaned better and there was no microwave or laundry. It was a great place to sleep between activities, just not good for heating up any leftovers.

About the host

Host profile image

My husband and purchased this property in May 2021 so we could live on Lake Huron and enjoy it with guests staying in our three cottages onsite.

Why they chose this property

This property is wooded and spacious. Other cabins and cottages in the area for rent are stacked on top of each other but our property offers room to enjoy nature. We are on the rocks with stairs down to a cute little deck and spectacular views of Lake Huron sunrises.
