A sweet "Up North" cabin on Tawas Point. Nice woodsy feel and of course the lake and sunrise are wonderful! Very clean and organized.

The cabin is a perfect for a getaway. Close to multiple beaches. You can go by the shore, sit at the table and enjoy the lake. The double bed was comfortable. There is no tv but who needs one when you have so much to do. It is great that the cabin is dog friendly. Wonderful host and easy to communicate.

A really nice little cottage to rent for a getaway/retreat type of vacation. It’s like a four minute drive to Tawas point State Park, which is an incredible park with the most amazing dog friendly beach that my dog loved more than life itself. One thing to know in case this is important to you, which it was not a big deal for me, is that the cottage next-door is very close.

Overnight

While dated, the cabin was just as pictured and was very clean. The amenities were limited. Not even an ice tray available. The setting was not what we had hoped. We had a dirt pad next to the cabin and there was no privacy between cabins. We had to walk through the owners yard to get to the lake and then we ended up in someone else’s backyard. The lake was essentially inaccessible due to the rocks and the dock had a small metal bench.

Paradise!

Everything was wonderful. Just one pretty minor complaint: the CD player was weird to operate and only one speaker worked. We had a great time. We visited Tuttle Marsh and the River Road on the Au Sable River on our way out, and climbed the lighthouse and hiked all around the edge of the peninsula. The fall colors were at peak for a good portion of our trip up. Thanks very much for making our 40th anniversary a great experience.

Thank you so much for letting us stay at the Mermaid Cottages. The location was perfect, so close to everything. We loved waking up and sitting by the lake in the morning. We will definitely recommend to friends and come for another stay

Great Weekend Hideaway on Lake Huron

I had a great time at Tawas Bay, awesome to get away from the Southern summer heat and humidity. Got lost momentarily at first, but once you find the mermaid tail sign by the mailboxes, you’ll know where you are. The cabin is the second on the left. While it’s not right on the lake, you can see it through the trees. The host has a deck on her home on the property where you’re welcome to get a great view of the sunrise over the lake. The cabin itself matches what’s shown in the pictures. Plenty of books to read! Plenty of thrillers and romance novels on the bookshelves, if you’re into that. My attention span with reading is low, so I spent my down time reading all the kids books! The bed in the master bedroom is comfy, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well the electric stove cooks the food! You’re only a couple miles down the road from Tawas Point State Park for the beaches. There’s also a lighthouse there, but apparently it’s closed in 2023 due to restorations. A 20 minute drive north is Huron National Forest; lots of trails to choose from for hiking and or bike riding. I highly recommend visiting the Lumbermen’s Monument. The view from the sand dunes overlooking the AuSable River is mind blowing!! Overall a nice chill place to get away from the stresses of urban life!

Cute Cabin, nice location to Tawas State Park

Cute, rustic cabin. Love the open floor plan and the old windows, doors, beams. Has more amneties than listed. The property is on Lake Huron but the cabin sits down the driveway a ways. Really quiet area. GREAT hosts. Internet service was weak. If you want to really unplug and get off all screens for a bit- this is the place for you!
