Cottage vacation rentals in Tawas City

I booked this beautiful home after my first reservation and host cancelled on me due to the storms. Well, I can say… we are so happy with our stay. It was exactly as described and even better than expected. April really is a one of a kind host, so good that I had to take notes for my own Air bnb adventure. She thought of everything! I’ve never had a better stocked kitchen. We always cook and make a big meal and we sure did not want for anything. We were even greeted with a local baked good and extra sheets and blankets for the dogs. These hosts were the best I’ve had in Michigan, if not the whole country. I’m thankful for people who truly consider someone’s stay and thinks of it all. Thank you again to the hosts. The Cabin was spotless and one of my favorite features was the deer lights.

Beautiful cottage to stay at! My 4 teenage boys, my Dad, and myself all enjoyed it very much! The boys really liked the Recreation room and even the activities in there to bring outside and play, such as basketball and badminton. Robert and Jill were quick to respond and very friendly. The cottage was clean and had some cute little touches to welcome us. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it!

I wish I could put into words how amazing this stay was! There were so many activities to do here, it was insane! I wish we had more time to enjoy them. It was very peaceful, kayaking down the river was a beautiful experience (definitely recommend water shoes, rocky bottom). They are also very accommodating for pets or for babies, have extra things just in case you forget something. 100000/10 would recommend to anyone!

Our family had the most wonderful time. This place exceeded expectations. As other reviewers have mentioned this place is very well stocked. We rode bikes to the ice cream shop, swam at the nearby beach (most days we had it to ourselves), grilled, had a campfire, enjoyed the lovely view from the porch and drove into town to go out to eat. The hosts were very welcoming and even provided a cute little frog table and chair for our little one. We would love to book again some time. Sadly, it does not come with the cute pictured pug. :)

We loved our stay at this cottage. Even though we had rainy weather were still able to enjoy our trip, we felt cozy and right at home. Host is very helpful and responsive.

Very lovely cabin!

Great stay for the weekend! Clean and cosy! Quick walk to the beach and within a short drive to other beaches and hiking. Our pup loved the gated backyard to play in as well! Hosts were quick to respond when we had questions. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Cutie Pie Cottage! The place was charming, clean, and had everything we needed to be comfortable. The cozy atmosphere made it feel like a home away from home, and the attention to detail in the decor was just perfect. A special shoutout to Marci, who was incredibly helpful and quick to respond whenever we needed anything. Her hospitality truly made our experience even better. If you’re looking for a relaxing and adorable place to stay, this is it!

The house was very nice. It was spacious and clean. It was close to restaurants and other stores. We had a nice, relaxing time.

The Little Oak Cottage was a perfect getaway for my wife and I (and our dog). The cabin was small but was perfect for our needs. This cabin is just a short walk to a small beach and a short drive to all kinds of restaurants but situated in the small town of Au Gres so it was really quiet and peaceful.

Needed a little getaway for my birthday and found Virginia’s place. It’s totally adorable and I love the bunkhouse for extra privacy! Beautiful place at a great price with a responsive and attentive host! Would definitely recommend especially in the summer.

Area was beautiful and close to town. Host was accommodating and kind. Offered early and late check in due to ice storm which left my family without power. The home was large and comfortable. I would absolutely use them again!

Nice and clean place to stay. Pellet stove is awesome! Keeps the place very cozy.

Kellie’s an amazing host made our check in easy and she was very accommodating even with us booking just hours before our last minute trip to go trail riding between us forgetting to pack coffee which she had covered with her nice selection of Keurig coffee cups and a fully stocked kitchen for any cooking needs, the beds are very comfy this cozy cabin makes you feel right at home

Christie's place was so cozy and peaceful. It was a beautiful location and everything you needed was available. We rented a boat and kept it right at the dock. The home was very clean, cute and comfortable for our family of four. We would definitely book again in the future!

We were visiting friends on Sand Lake and this place was perfect. We loved the big private yard with horseshoes and a fire pit. The cabin was quaint and very clean. We loved everything about our stay!

Had a great time with the kids at Edwards place. Definitely off the beaten path, 20 min drive to property driving on gravel and then dirt/sand after the gate, was a little tight between the vegetation on the path with my truck but no damage done(couple minor scratches). You'll get used to the solar power and learn to conserve, make sure to charge during the day. Amazingly beautiful property, crazy quite. We didn't see much wildlife during our stay, mostly a wide variety of birds. we rented the small boat and made it to the sandbar on Hubbard lake, if your not too familiar with boats I would rent a boat in the surrounding lakes before trying to make it by river to Hubbard lake. River is GREAT for kayak, canoe or paddle board plus you won't scare off the wildlife with the sound of the engine. Overall, we had a great time in this secluded setting and spending quality time with the kids without wifi/internet.

I was in town for a Class Reunion. I wanted to be close to the venue and downtown. Crow's Nest was the perfect spot to be. Close to the Lake and the stores. I would stay there again. Very quiet area and the house was perfect.

Second years staying at Betty’s place for our annual Duck camp. Great location and a nice place. We will be back again next year!

Great little spot with perfect back deck looking out onto the lake. Had all the amenities and games/kayaks you could want. Would definitely book again!

We had a great stay at this property. The house has been completely updated inside and out so everything is new and very clean. Nice sandy beach and this section of the lake is also all sand with shallow entry which is great for swimming with kids. You can walk for miles on the sandy beach if you wanted. We rented a slip at the Harrisville Marina for our boat and would anchor in front of the house during the day and do side trips like tubing or swimming over the sunken ships. About a 6 min boat ride to the house and less than 10 min by car which was great. Light house is a short walk away and good place to look for Petoskey stones. Host was very friendly and accommodating. She left a gift basket with treats for the kids and adults as well as some fresh veggies from her garden. Neighbors were also friendly that we met and it's a nice quiet street.
