Awesome memories
The property was very spacious and very clean! A lot of special touches were provided. Everyone had space to hang out but also rooms large enough to come together. close by the River Scenic Road, beautiful fall colors to see overlooking the Ausable River. Also, 2 blocks from train tracks that go thru town. Grandsons loved it! Close to beaches which would be great for a summer vacation. We will be back. Thank you for a great stay!

Best ever
Rented many homes and this was the best one we ever stayed at. The house was very clean, had everything you can possibly want. There was even a few groceries and water in the refrigerator for us. The host was very pleasant and checked up on us to make sure everything was okay. Just walking distance to town . We will definitely be coming back for next year.

Great house for mid to large sized group
We stayed in mid-August. The house is located about 5 blocks from downtown East Tawas and the marina/beach—an easy walk. The house is very clean, and very well-appointed. Plenty of cookware, cutlery, etc. They supply some snacks, a loaf of bread, eggs, milk, and water bottles. Each bedroom has a tv and Roku. Two living spaces. The owners were very helpful and responsive. We accidentally left an item, which they notified us about and sent it by mail back to us. We are definitely going to be staying here again! Thank you!!

weekend getaway
We had an amazing weekend getaway at a house that allowed us to spend quality time together, playing games, visiting, relaxing, and enjoying each other's company. The location was ideal, as we could easily walk downtown to join in the festivities. The owners of the house were fantastic to work with, and we're already looking forward to booking our stay again next year.

Magical Christmas
We stayed with our family consisting of 2 3 year olds and 2 infants. It was amazingly spacious, so clean, and they even set up a little tree to make it really feel like home. The accommodations were amazing and we will be looking to book this house again for any stay we have in Tawas. Can’t thank the owners enough for such an amazing stay.

What a lovely place to stay...
This home was so warm and welcoming and very, very clean and fresh. The additional amenities that were not listened were a welcome surprise. We planned to do some meal preparation and baking during our stay and the kitchen was very-well stocked with all of the basics. Ida, the host was very responsive during our stay whenever we had a question. One of our family members had already booked it for the holidays based on the pleasant stay we had. Highly recommend!

Blues By the Bay Weekend
We were a party of five with several friends that came to East Tawas for the annual blues festival. The house was exactly what we needed!! It was roomy, very clean and comfortable! The garage worked out great as an outdoor gathering spot for all our friends to relax after a day of blues! The location was great too! We walked to the festival every day! It was a great place in every aspect! We’ll be back next year!

Great weekend getaway!
This home was perfect for our long weekend trip! Close in proximity to a majority of what Tawas has to offer. It was fully stocked with all of the essentials you can imagine! From snacks to toothbrushes, they were prepared if needed. I have stayed in many VRBO premier properties and felt this was one of the most clean and welcoming as soon as we walked in the door. My only recommendation of change would be a more comfortable mattress in the master bedroom, but that could just be a personal preference. We hope to return to this wonderful home next time we come the area!

This property was in a great location. Close to shopping and close to the local beaches. The extra amenities added to the house (snacks, shampoos/conditioners, items you may have forgotten) was just perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.

Very close to downtown area and beach area accessible by walking, biking or driving. Many thoughtful amenities provided by hosts. The only thing I would change is the bedding was too firm for our taste as we prefer a more comfort level.

Absolutely Fantastic
Stayed for a work trip for the week and I can’t say enough. Beautiful property, plentiful stock of cooking utensils and more than enough games and television entertainment access. It was a pleasure to stay even though most time was spent at work but when in the home it felt like home. Highly recommend for a stay in Tawas for any occasion.

Wonderful Property!
This property has absolutely everything you need for a wonderful stay in the Tawas Bay Area! This lovely home away from home is FULL of amenities to relax and enjoy your family complete with a stocked kitchen, comfortable spaces for everyone to hang out, and comfortable bedrooms to retire to when you’ve maybe had TOO much family time and just need a little down time. It is super close to downtown, yet it in a quiet neighborhood. Our property manager let us enjoy the space without being at all intrusive but was super easy to get in contact with if we had questions. I HIGHLY recommend this property!
