About Dr. Murlene mcKinnon

I run a training business for the criminal justice field - police, judges, dispatch, and federal agents. Served in Peace Corps in Africa. Have traveled extensively.

Dr. Murlene mcKinnon purchased this cottage in 2008
Why Dr. Murlene mcKinnon chose Tawas

I bought The Cottage because it is next to my home on Lake Huron and therefore easy to manage and deal with the needs of my clients. I also enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories!

What makes this cottage unique

Staying at The Cottage in the Fall is a real treat. Enjoy a later night beach fire and watch the moon rise over the lake. Sleep on a pillow top mattress and have the soothing waves of Lake Huron lull you to sleep. Sip a steaming cup of coffee or tea and watch the sun rise. This is a place to be really lazy - or indulge in as many activities as one pleases -- biking, hiking, kayaking, canoeing, reading, sunbathing, wine drinking, etc.

Off to Michigan for a week of family time. This cottage had so much to offer; peace, solitude, great grassy yard, white sandy beach, shallow swimming area for floating and playing. It was a pleasure having the owner right next door. She is very helpful and knowledgable of the local area. We will definitely be back in the future. I already miss my coffee on the porch every morning when the lake is quiet and the sun is rising. This is a perfect place for a family with small children as well as teenagers. It is a little slice of heaven!

Great Cottage, Great Beach!

Our family of four (including a teenager and a pre-teen) spent a week at “The Cottage” and enjoyed every minute of it. There was plenty of room for all of us and it was clean and comfortable. The view of Tawas Bay was wonderful, the beach was clean and the lake was refreshing. We spent the mornings sight-seeing the surrounding area and the afternoons on the beach at the cottage. It is located on a quiet drive which is great for biking or walking/running. It is also very close to the bike path that leads through Tawas City and East Tawas to the state park. There are many things to do in the area no matter what you’re interested in. There are also plenty of nearby restaurants even though the cottage has everything you need to prepare your own meals. The owner, Mac, was very accommodating and a pleasure to talk to. She made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay very enjoyable. Hope to make it back!

This is our second trip at this cottage. It's clean and comfortable for 4 people. You are on the water for a beautiful view, a swim or a bonfire. The walking trail is safe and fun. Heading into town to see boats or shopping is always a fun thing to do. Sitting on the porch rain or shine is a relaxing environment. Mac takes good care of us when we are there for our stay and the cottage has everything you need.
Thanks Mac

What a great time and place!

Clean, comfortable and cozy. My three young boys and I had such a great time. We hardly ventured out, no need to. If you are looking for a private sandy beach and clear water (sand castles, swimming, etc.) by day and a beach fire (hotdogs and s'mores) by night, then look no further, "The Cottage" is for you.

Nothing less than perfect!

My husband and I spent our 27th wedding anniversary at the cottage, and it truly surpassed our expectations. Mac's attention to even the small details had us in awe during the entire visit. We have stayed at large waterfront resorts and small beach side facilities as well, and this was our best experience yet. If you love to go to sleep and wake up to the sound of the surf just at the edge of your lawn, you will love this cottage as much as we did. The sunrises with hot cocoa in hand are spectacular, rivaled only by watching the moon over Lake Huron while sharing a glass of wine fireside on the cottage's beach. We left with the cottage in our hearts and a promise to return.
