- "The statement “ideal getaway for nature lovers!” Is spot on! We went up there to get away from downstate light pollution to get a better view of Perseid meteor showers and didn’t really research the property much besides location. It was a very beautiful and private and very well kept property with a lot of wildlife that we hope to visit again soon when we can plan on spending more time there. Thanks again Sam!" - "We visit the Tawas area often and this time we found this awesome little treasure somewhat off the beaten path from downtown East Tawas. We chose the smaller of the three units available and it was spacious, comfortable, modern and was very clean; it was perfect for us. The property was beautiful with plenty of wildlife to enjoy and my wife and I loved walking around and taking it all in. The lodge is not too far from downtown East Tawas, which has a good selection of restaurants, shopping, and wonderful views of Lake Huron. Other points of interest are Lumberman's Monument and Iargo Springs both of which run along the Au Sable River providing a beautiful scenic backdrop for some great photo opportunities.

Our host Sam was very welcoming and responsive and we enjoyed getting to know him, make sure to ask about the history of the property. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay, we felt at home here and look forward to visiting again very soon!"

The entire area is famous for fishing, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, hiking, and nature viewing and there are a number of different places in the area for these activities. There are also several places in the area that rent out boats, kayaks, and paddleboards for fun on the water if you don't have your own watercraft.

- "Very clean and easy to stay in East Tawas!!! Thank you" - "We had a good time during our stay here. There was a little noise from the road but the cabin is very close to US23 so that is to be expected. Cabin was laid out well, and the beds were comfy and clean. It is a rustic cabin with modern amenities and it fit the bill for our stay.Would definitely consider this location again for future trips up to the East Tawas/Oscoda area. " - "The price was attractive. The old place has character and some nice new upgrades. The place still needs other upgrades to get a better rating. The king bed was very comfortable, the full bed has an old thick plastic cover, put on obviously for young children. We stayed for sleeping purposes only. Little time spent at the cabin. The cabin is close to the highway, but no through traffic. Some perfume laced pillows needed to be removed with the sad couch. The picnic table has moss all over it and is rotted on the ends. The grill non-functional. Again, the cabin is obviously in the process of being improved. There is a new shower, sink, kitchen counter, refrigerator and some cabinets. Work in progress. Never met the manager, but responded as needed."

This charming cottage is located on a quiet street where you can enjoy the lake view from the swing. Enjoy the yard, grill and fire pit while making yourself at home. This cottage was updated in 2024 with new flooring throughout, kitchen cabinets and countertops, vanity and outdoor furniture.

- "Nice cottage with a view of Lake Huron. Close to everything you want to do and dog friendly which is a great plus!" - "Such a cute cabin. The mattress was super comfortable. The couches were very cozy. The kitchen was fully equipped. Everything was fantastic." - "We stayed here for 2 nights. It was well balanced between rustic and modern. The beds were comfortable and we appreciated the fans. I didn't cook, but it looked stocked. A fun special touch was coffee from a local business in town. I was pleasantly surprised by a tea kettle with an assortment of teas. The enclosed front porch was perfect for reading a book and the couches were cozy. I'd stay here again."

- "My mother (73) and my partner and I stayed here while visiting family in the area. I must say we have travelled quite a bit using house shares in our travels…. And this by far was the best we have ever stayed in. Not only were the accommodations excellent, the host was kind, informative and sharing of his unique space and surrounding land. It truly is a nature sanctuary and thru some emotionally high stress travel… this place was a welcomed refuge. As well it was very senior friendly which is a plus for us when traveling with our older parents. We all commented on how refreshed we felt after our stay. Although sad we had to leave, we are grateful we had the opportunity to experience a unique slice of Michigan and will look forward to returning when we come that direction again"
