Walk to Tawas Bay Beach! Peaceful Modern Retreat
Summer by the lake awaits!
Super cozy, modern ranch home located just two blocks from beautiful Tawas Bay and only a 5-minute walk (or 1-minute drive) to charming downtown East Tawas, where you'll find local restaurants, shops, a movie theater, coffee spots, and summer events along the waterfront.
This peaceful retreat is designed for rest, connection, and creativity. Whether you're here for a family vacation, a couple's getaway, girls’ weekend, or simply looking for a quiet place to recharge near the water.
Spend your summer days enjoying everything Northern Michigan has to offer. Walk to the beach, go for morning swims, bike along the lakeshore, or explore the scenic shoreline at Tawas Point State Park and Lighthouse.
If you love nature and/or hiking beautifully wooded trails, take a short drive to the Lumberman's Monument and Iargo Springs, which both overlook the beautiful Ausable River. You may even be inclined to pack a picnic for the beautiful sunsets on the sand dunes of the Ausable River.
For the more adventurous, book a half/full day canoe or tubing trip to experience the full beauty of the famous Ausable! ....Plan to pack a cooler & snacks!
Corsair and Silver Valley Trail System is 15 minutes away, offering many miles of hiking and viewing different wildlife. (Hiking trail maps at the house)
After a full day outdoors, come home to unwind in the private backyard. Fire up the propane grill for dinner, relax beneath the patio lights with a good book or glass of wine, and gather around the fire pit to roast s’mores and share stories under the stars.
Primary Bedroom
• Comfortable Serta pillow-top queen mattress
• Room-darkening blinds for restful sleep
• Roku TV
• Radiant heated tile floors
Second Bedroom
• Full-size luxury memory foam mattress
• Room-darkening blinds
• 32" smart TV
Third Bedroom
• Two plush twin beds
• Roku TV and built-in nightlight
• Toys and games available for kids and families
The space is perfect for slow mornings with coffee, creative work, family game nights, or relaxing after a day exploring the lake and surrounding nature.
Whether you're planning beach days, boating, biking, or simply enjoying peaceful summer evenings by the fire, this home offers the perfect Northern Michigan escape close to everything East Tawas has to offer.

Cozy Place for a Getaway
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this home. All newly renovated with two bathrooms. Enjoyed taking walks in the neighborhood and around town. Would not hesitate to rebook here. Had a few light bulbs out and couldn't find any replacements. Coffee pot did not work but Keurig pod side was fine. Floor is cold at night. A few extra area rugs in master would be nice with an extra thicker comforter. Love the Himalayan salt lamp in master bedroom for a nice, relaxed vibe. Nice back yard area. Slight trip hazard from kitchen to hallway. We were very pleased with rental.

Girl’s weekend
A nice updated home 8 blocks to shopping and restaurants. Close distance to a beautiful park and Lake Huron. We loved the secluded back yard where we sat outside and enjoyed catching up. The home is well stocked with anything you need. The bonus was each of us had our own bed. The main bathroom has a deep tub that is challenging to get into without any grab bars, but it was a good shower. The smaller bathroom has a walk-in shower with a rain shower head that was awesome. We would stay there again.
