Great place!

We absolutely loved our time here. The place is clean and in a great location to explore the Tawas and Oscoda area. Our family loved fishing and the sunset view is amazing! We highly recommend a stay here!

Perfect location for a quick relaxing getaway

When looking for an October getaway for my husband and I, the criteria was pretty simple: quiet location, nice view with either sunrises or sunsets, a fire pit and a clean comfortable place to relax. This beautiful property on Indian lake far surpassed our expectations. Eric and Suzanne created a beautiful place with all the comforts of home.

Thoroughly enjoyed the location and the house

The idea of the trip was to get away and get reconnected. My son and daughter-in-law needed time away. We needed time together, and we succeeded in accomplishing both. Thank you so much.

Great Host

The house had all the necessities you could imagine and then some. Even the remotes were color coded to each room color.The property is set with a gorgeous view of the lake and the geese families. Our host was very kind and kept in touch with us throughout the week by VRBO mail.I can't say enough about this very comfortable property.

Indian Lake Getaway

This place was very nice and clean and had everything that we needed. The beach was nice and sandy, which made it very easy to launch the paddleboat we had access to. The owner was very easy to communicate with. This lake was great for fishing and had beautiful sunsets every night! There were a few stores close by, which was very convenient. We had a wonderful time and it was very relaxing. We would definitely consider coming back!

House was large and beautiful. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything you would need, including some spices. Bathroom was beautiful, newly remodeled, and included a washer and dryer. Large beds in two rooms and the other one set up very well for several kids. Adults and kids had a lot of fun catching fish off the back dock. Lake was very quiet. All of us (all ages) enjoyed our stay and Tawas was just a quick drive away.

Relaxing time

We had a very enjoyable relaxing 6 night stay from 6/21 thru 6/27. The cottage was very cozy & comfortable. The weather for the most part was beautiful with temps ranging from upper 70s to upper 80s the first 5 days. Cooler & cloudy Monday & Tues. The cottage was very clean comfortable & well maintained. The kitchen was very well stocked. The family had a great time with fishing, kayaking, & the paddle boat, & relaxing on the deck. Would definitely recommend.

Vacation with family

Overall, the property looked as pictured, updated kitchen, well stocked with various cookware and dishes along with updated bathroom. Our host was quick to respond to our needs and help with any problems we encountered. The kids loved using the kayaks and my husband and son enjoyed fishing on the lake. The sunsets were gorgeous and the sunroom was a perfect play area for our 2yr. old and 4yr. old grandchildren. We enjoyed our stay.

I can truly say I am confused by the four out of the five specifically because this Guest gave five on every measure that VRBO offers. A complaint I received was a bedroom door squeaked, two ants were spotted in the sunroom and we didn’t provide a pizza pan. We do our best to accommodate Guest, we have a fully stocked kitchen, which I feel is better equipped than most. I have addressed the minor complaints other than providing a pizza pan.

Clean, quiet, with everything a family needs

Upon opening the front door the first thing you notice is the cleanliness and order of the house. Second thing is a wonderful view of the lake. Third thing noticed is how well “stocked” the kitchen, bedrooms, and bathroom come. The kayaks, paddle boards, and paddle boat were perfect. The family enjoyed the lake activities and even caught several small mouth bass….all catch and release. The visits by the Loons and Heron were fantastic. For a family looking for a clean, comfy, and relaxing vacation, this place is ideal. The owners are nice and very responsive with communications.

5 stars

From the moment we walked into to these incredibly clean property we could see why it was rated so well. The cottage was clean, spacious and the views are like no other. They had everything we needed and i do mean everything. The owner was kind enough to be there at check in and help my husband with his fishing boat. We enjoyed the lake everyday and hung out at the sand bar. The sunsets are incredible. We believe this is the best property on the lake. My daughter (4 yrs old) enjoyed the sandy beach. I can say we will definitely be back. Thank you for everything!
