Photos and Description of the Tawas vacation cabin rental
Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4-6)

Recently restored and impeccably maintained, this cabin has lots of up north charm. The original knotty pine interior decor adds to its cozy charm. It is our desire to provide you with the perfect vacation cabin - we promise you will not find a cleaner cabin.

Located on a quiet residential street, this cabin is ideal for families with children or for couples looking for a quiet retreat. Douglas Drive provides a great location to vacation without the hustle and bustle of traffic.

Many renters take advantage of the beach fire pit. Nothing beats the sound of the lake in the evening with a sky full of stars as you roast marshmallows on your own private beach.

With everything the cabin and the Tawas area have to offer, this cabin will be sure to delight.

About Mandy

We are an outgoing couple who enjoys our weekends on the beach. With another cabin next door for our personal use, we have enjoyed our first few years of renting and getting to meet new friends through VRBO. We look forward to another successful year and meeting many new friends along the way.

Mandy purchased this cabin in 2007
Why Mandy chose Tawas

Nestled on a quiet side street, this cabin allows for a very relaxing atmosphere without the commotion of city traffic and noises. And with the bike path out our front door we can hop on our bikes and get out. We can head into town or ride out to the country... the choice is ours. That is of course if you can tear yourself away from the lounge chair and the beach!

Tawas has a lot to offer for entertainment and activities all summer long. The Chamber of Commerce has an activity scheduled each weekend in the summer ranging from kite festivals, 4th of July fireworks, and parades to Farmer's Markets every Saturday morning. This cabin really does have the best of everything!

What makes this cabin unique

New in 2013 : Based on many comments, we are adding WiFi and cable TV.

Nearest Airport : MBS (Midland, Bay City, Saginaw) at 78 Miles
Nearest Beach : Directly in front of cabin

Tawas Point is one of the most renowned areas for kite boarding in the U.S. Even if you don't board, it is impressive to see. While there take a few minutes to check out the historic light house. And if you're into birding, this area has some of the best trails for watching and seeing birds.

For those who like to hike, canoe, kayak and fish be sure to check out Lumberman's Monument, Iargo Springs and the dams along the Au Sable River.

Monument Road is also a great road for those who ride bikes - be ready for a long ride if you leave from the cabin because it is almost 20 miles there - or drive out there and leave from Lumberman's. Either way you'll be riding through national forest on less-traveled roads with great scenery. Motorcyclists will enjoy the ride out there and to surrounding areas such as Sand Lake and Round Lake. There are also plenty of nearby ORV trails for the off road enthusiasts.

For those fishermen, Au Gres is the location to charter from for walleye. Oscoda also has Lakers. But don't forget the fishing on Tawas Lake or pier fishing in Tawas at the mouth of the river or on the state dock.

The down town area has great shops to get those needed souvenirs from vacation. Ben Franklin is sure to capture the attention of many youngsters and adults as well. There is also a chocolate shop, coffee shops, ice creameries, gourmet food shop and on Saturday mornings there is the farmer's market. There are also several local grocery stores, including Neiman's and a Super Wal-Mart.

For the golfers, the Red Hawk Golf Course is a short drive and an attraction for many. Other local courses include Huron Breeze and Tawas Golf Course.

The Tawas Chamber of commerce is excellent at scheduling events each weekend of the summer so be sure to check out what's happening on the weekend you plan to be in town.

I would highly recommend this listing to my friends and family. The description was over and above as it appears in the photos and amenities. Very clean and excellent condition. The owners were very helpful and prompt with information and made sure that we were provided with everything that we needed. Beautiful beachfront location for anyone looking for a great getaway. Shopping and dining in Tawas is only a couple miles away.

Great stay ... a peaceful vacation!

5 of 5
Submitted: June 29, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
This was our first stay at the cabin and it was a great experience! The cabin itself is very clean and well maintained. Small, but just right for 2 couples or a small family. We spent most of our time on the newly added patio and at the beach bonfire pit (beautiful at night!), but with Tawas just minutes away, grocery shopping was convenient and we appreciated the stocked kitchen and use of the gas grill. It’s in a great neighborhood and at the end of a quiet street. Nice for walking and/or relaxing on the beach. Genuine, friendly neighbors. The owners are quick to answer questions and very helpful. If you’re leery of renting sight unseen, don’t be. This place is great. Highly recommended. We’ll definitely rent again!

Slice of Heaven

We couldn't have asked for a better family vacation! We relaxed by the water as our 3 kids enjoyed swimming, playing in the sand, and skipping rocks. The house was very childproof and was amazingly clean! Mandy and Randy were wonderful, and so were the neighbors! We can't wait until next year! Our kids ask us almost everyday when we are going back.

What a great weekend! Comfy cozy and relaxing! Randy & Mandy have done an awesome job on this quaint cottage. It was like home without the chores. View is great, wish a freighter came in to dock:) Awesome hosts, so helpful and gracious. Hop and a skip to town which is so cute and quaint on it's own. Light house view on the point is great and whatever you do, don't miss the chance to canoe/kayak on the Au Sable in Oscoda.
Wish they weren't booked all summer or we would be back up there in a heart beat!! Thanks guys!

Spectacular Lake Huron View (Especially Sunrises)

5 of 5
Submitted: August 18, 2010 Stayed: August 2010
Amen to all of the compliments already paid to this truly cozy, well appointed cabin and it's owners Mandy and Randy. I'll focus on a few additional points for the benefit of readers.

(1) Daybreak and sunrise over Lake Huron is postcard worthy. At this moment I'm viewing the awesome orange glow illuminating the Eastern horizon. A few seagulls are calmly beckoning as they glide across the lakeshore where gentle waves rhythmically pat the beach. I'm not a morning person, but this scene is too good to miss.

(2) The beach is perfect for lounging, tanning, castle-building, reading, daydreaming, sudokuing, crossword puzzling, or just closing your eyes and deep breathing.

(3) If you enjoy dining on superb lake perch, you should visit Barnacle Bill's on Newman Street in East Tawas. I normally enjoy my fish with tartar sauce and/or ketchup. But the only thing I used to enhance these sweet delicate little filets was lemon juice squeezed from the wedges that accompanied the meal. (The Oberon draft was another delightful part of the meal.)

(4) Ben Franklin's in East Tawas (across and just down the street from Barnacle Bill's) is an extraordinary experience. How those people pack so much interesting even fascinating vacation merchandise into that store is a mystery to me. Among treasures we bought were Mille Bornes, watercolor paints, a solar powered glowing butterfly for the garden at home, and a 750 piece Harley Davidson jigsaw puzzle (we're donating to the games provided in the cabin). WARNING: The puzzle is a challenge if you start from scratch. We've left several chunks still connected to give others a headstart if any would like to take advantage.

(5) Last item: REDBOX at Walmart's North entrance is great for current and some classic DVDs. Mandy and Randy have provided a few for viewing too. Or bring your faces from home to enjoy relaxing together on the comfy couch.
