Classic and Affordable Lake Home, Canoe, Deck, Quiet Neighborhood

Woodsy, private and pet-friendly spacious modern home in a great location across a quiet neighborhood street from Tawas Lake. Free Wi-Fi. Easy shoreline access across a quiet street. Take the canoes to the lake. Campfire area, grill and outside deck with table and chairs. Only one mile from the Lake Huron beachfront park and the quaint shops of East Tawas, the nicest tourist destination on the Sunrise Coast. Great walking or biking through the Tawas lake neighborhoods. There is a frisbee golf course past the boat access site which also provides another way to walk to town. I've known many of the neighbors all my life, they are friendly and welcoming to my guests.

City of East Tawas Short-Term Rental Registration #STR-002. Strictly limited to 6 guests and no more than two vehicles parked in front of garage.

The house is on three lots with huge oak and pine trees and nice views of Tawas Lake and the surrounding woods (look for the deer!). New large porch windows look over the lake across the street. Easy access to the shoreline, the canoes can be hauled up on shore at the access during your stay.

Tawas Lake is a large shallow lake with the most extensive wild rice beds in Michigan. Great waterfowl viewing and hunting. The fishing is very good for bluegills, bass, and northern pike right in front of the house. A majority of the shoreline is undeveloped and sunsets over the lake are spectacular.

The main street of East Tawas ends at the waterfront park and is lined with antique stores, casual or fine dining establishments, a classic movie theater, and a variety of other shops. The East Tawas/Tawas City area spanning Tawas Bay is the perfect size - small enough to be uncrowded but large enough to have lots of activities, large grocery stores, and a variety of shops and dining. Nearby Tawas Point State Park juts into Lake Huron with another super beach, historic lighthouse, and an extensive hiking area at the end of the point. Tawas Point is a nationally known bird watching area year-round, with even more to see during spring and fall migrations. The Huron National Forest, the famous Ausable River, Tuttle wildlife refuge, Lumberman’s Monument, and many lakes are all within a short drive from the house. Take a scenic 12 mile drive along Lake Huron to the small tourist town of Oscoda at the mouth of the Ausable River but stay in East Tawas where there’s a lot more to do.

Every season offers new activities. Spring has a burst of wildflowers and waterfowl (and low rates). A northwoods summer is usually warm without being too hot, I only rent weekly during the peak summer season (unless I’m open at the last minute). Fall colors are outstanding throughout the area. Fall also brings hunting season. There is ample public land for deer hunting nearby and Tawas Lake hosts incredible waterfowl flights. Spend a great Christmas - New Years holiday week in the North.

We had a wonderful weekend at your cottage. Everything was very clean and roomy. In fact, we spent most of our time in the room at the back just relaxing and talking. C.G.

Thank you for the opportunity to rent your place in East Tawas. My son became an avid fisherman, with your home conveniently located, he went fishing daily on Tawas Lake, off the pier in town and on the AuSable River. We saw our first Bald Eagle with my husband's telescope across Tawas Lake, along with many Sandhill Cranes flying in every evening, very exciting! The sunsets where beautiful on Tawas Lake. There were Osprey nesting at Tuttle Marsh, not to mention all the birds at Tawas State Park. Thank you also for allowing us to spend an extra day. We may be repeat customers as we love the location and the amenities in your home. M.D.

Hi, we just got back and wanted to let you know that we really liked it and will take it again next year, same weekend. L.F.

I have discussed 're-kindling' our old tradition of the family going to Tawas Lake in the spring to catch bluegills. The boys and I did well, about 400 or so in the week we were there. They had an awesome time. I would like to, if possible, reserve the cottage for next spring. J.R.

I look forward to renting again. We have so enjoyed it there the last two years. S.R.

The house was great, we enjoyed our stay. I'll keep your place in mind for another trip. S.L.

We had a great time. Not knowing exactly what to expect we were very pleased to find a spacious, clean, comfortable and well-stocked home. The proximity of your place is so convenient yet off the beaten path. C.W.

We had a great time. It was quite relaxing and accommodating with all the creature comforts. East Tawas is a nice little town and we loved the state park and beach. T.E.

Well, we are home from a wonderful week at your cottage/cabin. I expected good, we got FABULOUS - and I want to thank you! The house is adorable - not so important to a man, most likely, but to a woman who must avoid daylight and so spends her days inside, it was very important. It is surprising how a small cottage can feel so big also!! But even better than cute and spacious, the house was spotless!! I used to own a cleaning service and I was totally impressed with how clean the house is! It was such a joy! E.T.
