Beautiful, clean, and conveniently located!!! We truly enjoyed this cottage right off Lake Huron. It was extremely clean, bed was very comfortable and it had everything we would need, a home away from home. Check in was super easy and the check out instructions were clear, quick and easy! We highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking for a quiet and beautiful get away!

The house was immaculate and exactly as pictured. Cozy and not too far from the Lake. You can get a view through the trees and hear the waves. Access to the Lake is not far. Check-in and Check-out instructions were very clear and easy to follow. A few of our favorite things were the towels and linens - they were luxurious. Silly thing to point out, but we've had some bad experiences and really only expect average for these little touches! King bed was super comfortable as well as the furniture. We felt spoiled. The hosts were very quick to respond when we had questions.

Lovely place to stay

My husband and I really needed a relaxing place to stay. This cottage was perfect. I’m very fussy about our accommodations ( I have been known to check in and check out after walking into other places) . This cabin is elegant. The owners are wonderful.

Lake Huron Cottage

My husband and I had a wonderful time staying in this cottage. It was very clean and comfortable. It is located about 10 minutes from downtown Tawas and even though it is not on the water with a short walk there is access to a sandy beach. Also, our host was great, they went out of their way to make our time enjoyable. We will definitely stay there again.

This was a beautiful home in a wonderful location. Getting in was easy, the hosts left a lot of information including restaurant menus, ideas of things to do and simple checkout instructions. They left us a complimentary bottle of wine, water and a sweet gesture for anniversary. It was very clean, bright and well cared for.
