To start Erin is great! She replies quickly to my messages.My stay is 3 months long and the area is about a mile walk to the state park.The shower is very spacious and the king bed is very comfortable.While there is no laundry on site. It has not been a problem going to the laundry mat in town.The couch in the sitting area is cozy and comfortable to sit or lay on.I do bring alot of my own kitchen accessories but what is here is perfect for a short stay. While it may not be a problem for most I have had a hard time regulating the temperature of the space. I could turn the unit off and it still seems to heat up in there but I do like it pretty chilly.Overall my stay so far has been absolutely wonderful. Erin even let me set up a portable fence for my small dog! Will absolutely stay again!

Beautiful and quiet space. Near enough downtown yet far enough from the noise. Clean and comfy. Was a very tranquil spot. Great for solo or couples traveling. Was happy they were dog friendly. I didn’t stay overnight due to security issue with the exterior lock and key but the host was amenable to fixing the lock issue that same day and compensated me with a refund which was appreciated.

Great home within walking distance to the park.

The home was clean, exactly as described, and had way more room than we needed. The place is directly across from the marina and within a very short walking distance to the beaches and park. The dedicated dog park was a big hit for the canine family members. We will definitely plan to be back!

Great rental, great location.

The house was clean, neat with plenty of room for four kids and our dog. It’s an unique layout/floor plan with lots of extra space. We enjoyed the house and property but really loved the location as it’s just outside Tawas Point State Park, within walking distance. We’ll be back.

Celebrated our 50th

We had a great time staying here while we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with our family. The new AC units were much appreciated. This was our second time here and would recommend it to anyone. Our grandkids loved biking to the beach, shopping at Ben Franklin, and seeing the Barbie movie at the Tawas theater.

Most comfortable bed ever

We thought we had the most comfortable bed at home but we found this property has the GOAT of beds. I need one now. Erin is super nice and helpful, she brought us a freshly washed blanket and a home made bath soap that smelled divine! Soft towels that actually wrap around the body, clean and comfortable linens.Beach towels that were better than the one we have.The apartment was so clean and I know clean. We plan to stay here on a regular basis when in Tawas for our sailboat.

Wonderful

We had a great time in this super cool house. Clean and we had everything we needed. Big beach towels and a beach umbrella that came in so handy! Right by the State park where we hiked, saw the lighthouse and went to the beautiful beach. We were able to watch apps on the t.v. which my 9 year old loved.

The property was very close to Tawas State Park. The studio has beautiful custom cabinets throughout the interior. It had high end soaps and shampoo products. It could have had hand soap at sink side. Anythings we needed the host provided or found for us. I would love a broom to sweep floors since stayed a couple days, and wisk broom a wee bit small to use on entire floor . Outide could us a good leaf blower to clean twigs. Thanks for the stay Erin.

Great location but some issues

The location is great, walking distance to Tawas Point State Park and beaches. The home has lots of room and is up to date with appliances, flooring and bathrooms, etc. The only issue that my wife had was that there the ants which were apparently attracted to crumbs in the pantry.

Unexpected

House was clean, but unusual. Lots of different levels with lots of steps. Bathroom's were well stocked and very nice. Lake Huron was right across the street , but view was block by large marina with huge buildings and boats sitting everywhere. Walking distance from Tawas State Psrk the beach. Which was nice.

The WOODWORK!

This home is absolutely beautiful. My husband spent hours opening cabinets & admiring the amazing woodwork (no exaggeration)!! Although advertised as a small home because it’s only 2 bedrooms- it is very spacious. We were in the area for a wedding & quick weekend getaway- but could’ve easily had our entire family there for a week and been very comfortable. Erin was very responsive to questions. Location is AMAZING! Overall, this was one of the must beautiful and unique properties we’ve ever stayed at.

Great place to relax with family

The location is great. It is a quick walk/bike ride down to the lighthouse/beach. Right across from Marina. 5 - 10 min from stores but it feels very secluded. Home is beautiful and super clean. There are bugs as to be expected but not too many. There is a small back yard with a fire pit. There is a ton of cabinet space. There is a kitchen and a kitchenette (in the master bedroom). The TV in master is neat as it rotates to be seen anywhere in the room. There is a 2nd bedroom and an office type area that can work as back up sleeping for kids. There are a lot of nooks and crannies here which we loved. Kids loved exploring it. The home felt like home right away. We already plan to rebook when we go back!
