This cabin was perfect for a great rustic and cozy vacation. The hosts were very nice. If you book in the winter, be aware that it is winter-proofed in a way that we were unable to see outside. Not a big deal since it still let light in, but a little odd. We loved our stay! Would for sure recommend.

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.

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!

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.
