About this property

Feel of an "Up North" cottage with the convenience of in-town East Tawas

  • Within walking distance of downtown East Tawas, the state dock, and the beach, this cozy cottage, in a quiet downtown neighborhood, feels like you are staying in the woods "up north." Start your morning with a cup of coffee on the deck before heading out to explore the lighthouse at nearby Tawas State Park, or visit Lumberman's Monument on the Ausable River and drive River Road, stopping at the many overlooks.

    Every season holds opportunities for exploration: cross-country skiing or snow shoeing in the winter; birdwatching in the spring; beaches and boating in the summer; color tours in the fall. Come to East Tawas and see what you can find!

This was a great place to stay in downtown Tawas. Easy walking distance to town, but we were going to the state park everyday.

Fabulous stay!

Wonderful and cozy lodging! Our girl's trip was a blast in East Tawas and our lodging was perfect. Close to downtown, clean and cozy, pull-out couch was comfortable(I slept on it myself). Lots of hot water and water pressure was great. We will rent again for sure :)

Quiet and great location

The property is in a cute neighborhood walking distance to downtown East Tawas. But you would never know you are that close. It was very quiet and peaceful. The back covered porch was nice to sit and drink our morning coffee before hitting the beach. The host even provides beach towels which was an added plus. We enjoyed our stay

Quick getaway

The location and amenities were amazing. It was a quiet neighborhood. The house was comfortable and quaint. It was a little musty smelling though, which caused some issues with allergies, but overall good place to stay. Owners were amazing at communicating with me.

Perfect with a deep cleaning

We were 4 adults all in our 70 and 80’s. Love the location, like the layout, owner was very helpful and friendly. However was greatly disappointed in the sofa’s needed to be replaced, the throw rugs on the floor to cover the dirty carpet, the soft mattress in the bedroom to the right of the bathroom, the dirty back deck and furniture not able to use and messiness of the cupboards in kitchen.would not return unless these things are taken care of. Felt high priced for the dirtyness and uncomfortable furniture. Thanks, Karen Davis

This nice property is perfect for a visit to the beaches, restaurants, and other attractions of East Tawas. Super well equipped VRBO. Lots of paper supplies, spices, cooking supplies, cleaning products, even bathroom soap and shampoo. Our stay was 12 days, so the large washer and dryer were convenient. Our grandkids loved the large grassy fenced backyard. Beds are comfortable. Very clean property. Easy 10 minute walk to downtown or the pier or beach. We have family in East Tawas so we will return to this amazing cottage again and again. Host is very responsive. Check in was convenient. Window air conditioning units kept the place comfortable on a very warm day in northern Michigan. Thanks Kenneth for renting this fun and amazing home.
