East Tawas Rustic Retreat

Had a great girls weekend celebrating Tina's 50th birthday. Comfortable sitting area. Nice outside patio area with fire pit to enjoy the beautiful evening. Would definitely stay here again.

The cottage’s tired exterior is so misleading, because there are trendy updates inside, as well as a large living space. The whole interior has a great vibe with industrial accents and warm vintage decor. Super fun! Our family was in East Tawas for a family reunion, staying in various accommodations. This cottage offered a welcoming and large space to have our family of 12 over for breakfast on their way out of town. Everyone kept commenting on the charm.

The Kitchen and living room are open concept, with bar and 4 bar stools as well as dinning room table. TV trays are also available.

The bedrooms have been remodeled and cozy.

If stairs are a problem for you then the master bedroom will be an issue. There are stairs stepping down into the very large master and there are no hand rails. Although stairs are part of the remodel they are a bit awkward.

We were fine.

The master is located away from the other bedrooms and offers great privacy, it’s own wood burning stove, two large club chairs, comfy bed, ceiling fan as well as window air conditioner unit.

The large fenced in patio has streets on 3 sides. It is a very quiet neighborhood so I felt like this space was private. Free firewood for fire pit.

The Bathroom was a bit larger than photo showed, with trendy updates. Authentic claw tub is legit with permanent stains. It could offer a challenge to those with mobility issues.

We had no problem.

Michelle was friendly and attentive to our questions.

If your looking for a rustic cottage, this is it!

We would definitely stay here again.

This is a great cabin- authentic rustic experience and all modern conveniences. The listing doesn’t mention air conditioning but there are window units that keep the cabin plenty cool if needed. The location is great for biking and orv-ing. The town has some touristy stuff to offer (shopping, music, food) but not a hide variety. The beach is pretty good (although someone said much of it was flooded or washed away this year). I personally think this place is a great fit for older adults or families with older kids - not much “fun” kid stuff around (bowling and mini-golf is just about it). But if you are into outdoors, waking, biking, kayaking/boating, snorkeling, etc - this is a great spot and I recommend the cabin.

Great cabin! Loved every second of our stay
