We loved our stay at the Sunshine cabin! Very roomy and spacious, exceptionally clean, beautiful decor. Stocked with basically everything you need; we barely had to bring anything! The kids loved that there were games there as well, they've already asked to go back another time. :)

Great vacation: East Tawas is perfect for families who like to bike and swim in clean lake water. The property was everything we could hope for. We had 8 adults ages 88,87,66,60,26,25,23,and23 who all had space to rest and enjoy the comfortable home. AC was awesome and sunsets outstanding. The quiet setting was also a welcome feature to get the rest we all needed. Thank you Candice

Amazing place to stay
The house was exceptional. Great location, close to downtown and minutes away from everything we wanted to do. The house decor was super cute, every detail was thought of bu the owner. We took advantage of the front porch Aderondike chairs for morning coffee, back patio, fire pit and kayaks. Beautiful sunset over the lake. The master bedroom felt like a resort stay! All the beds that we used were extremely comfortable. My kids were right at home, they loved it and are asking when we can go back. Very clean, very cozy...throw blankets in every room within arms reach. AC units worked great! We had a phenomenal stay. Recommend!!

Tawas something good
I arrived, after driving 18 hours, from the South. I will never do that again! Matt had been checking up on me while I was headed to the house. He kept up the messages even after normal business hours. Every question I had was answered and every FAQ was covered. There was a welcome book that was a reminder of the things Matt had already noted. The rooms were all done, with what seemed like, the help of an interior designer. I loved the master bedroom uostsirs. It has the most comfortable bed I think I’ve ever been in. The bathroom has a pocket door, it’s little touches like that throughout the entire house.I was especially drawn to the dragonfly room The nice TV’s we’re just the right sizes for the rooms they were in. I also liked how the hot water didn’t go cold after a toilet flush, or laundry going while showering. If you are going to stay and explore East Tawas, I strongly recommend staying at Matt’s rental. I know it was worth every dollar and more.

Fabulous getaway
5 friends stayed here for 3 nights. We loved the cleanliness, the very well appointed kitchen, and the sunset on the lake. The "lake" is more of a wetlands but had the weather been better, we probably would have availed ourselves of the 2 kayaks. Communication with host was excellent. We would surely consider staying here again.

Not clean.
If you are planning on going to relax- you will have to wash the dishes and sweep the sandy floors first. Then shop for a dishpan and a
rubber tub mat. I slipped in the new tub and bruised my leg. 8/5-9

Lovely Red cabin
We had a great time in this cozy Red cabin. Location was close to town and Lake. Master bedroom was nice and spacious not a great dining area, we played games a lot, but worked. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Amazing Place to Stay
My family has been vacationing in Tawas/Oscoda for years and I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful property. The listing is completely accurate, the house is impeccably clean and so very well-appointed, the owner is thoughtful, responsive, and helpful, and we loved our stay. All of us had an incredible time. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, the bathrooms were well-stocked, the location was perfect, and we couldn't have asked for more. I highly recommend staying here!
