Great place!

Nice little house! Weather was not great while I was there but saw there was kayaks, a bicycle, and a nice wagon to take your stuff to the beach, which was right down the road! Real close to lighthouse and state park with beautiful beach there too! Host was very attentive and friendly! I’d definitely stay again!

perfect little getaway!

My 4 teens, a dog and I had a great time at the barefoot bungalow! The space was fantastic and well stocked, the location was perfectly convenient, and beautiful! And if it can keep 4 teens and a dog entertained and happy for 3 days than you know it's got it all!! And we didn't even use the kayaks this time so I know we'll be back!

Birding paradise and family fun!

The property was clean and cozy. It has all the amenities needed and then some. It’s a nice walk to the state park. We had about 30 species of birds just in the yard, including a bald eagle. Awesome for us birders. We look forward to returning in the future!

Fabulous Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The space was perfect for our family of six and our dog. We walked the trail to the pet beach every morning, biked, kayaked, and swam. We had three days around 90 degrees when we were there and the house was plenty cool. (And I am a wimp when it comes to hot weather). Everyone in the area was very friendly as well. Don't hesitate on this property - it is wonderful!

Bareboat review

Cottage is exceptionally well-equipped, especially for families. Three kayaks, a wagon for beach excursions, life jackets for all ages, grill, cooking utensils, spices, etc. made for an easy trip with our daughter and her family. Beds were very comfortable! On small wrinkle was the upstairs was a little warm. However, upstairs A/C and fans were a great help. Being near Tawas State Park was wonderful! Beach and bike path therein were great!

Tawas Bay

We had a wonderful stay at Kate’s bungalow in Tawas City. It fit our family of four (plus dog) perfectly. The kitchen was stocked with all the appliances and cookware we needed. We enjoyed games, movies and the outdoor fire pit. The convenient location made walks along the bay frequent and easy. The drive into town is short so we enjoyed local restaurants, our favorite was Tawas Bay Pizza Company - great food and friendly servers. We’ll be back, hopefully for a longer stay! -Kirsten

Loved it!

We had an absolutely lovely week at BareBoat Bungalow! Perfect location near Tawas State Park for beaches and exploring. Only 25 minutes to Lumberman’s Monument and Largo Springs hiking. Beautiful sunrise and sunset views on the point. We loved playing games in the four seasons room and relaxing with a book. Plenty of room for our family and we couldn’t have asked for better communication from the host. We used the kayaks and beach chairs and wagons - so convenient and fun! We visited the farmers market and shopped downtown as well! Went bowling and found a couple of great places to eat and also cooked at home. Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing week, we hope to visit again.

Peninsula Paradise

This cottage is in the perfect spot for water fun on Tawas Bay or Lake Huron. The location is very walkable or bicycling to Lighthouse point or elsewhere. The misty weather prevented us from having a campfire, but we still made the most of our time hiking all around. Don’t forget to wear good shoes walking to the point, and especially bug spray. The cottage kitchen has everything you need. We only used the first floor bedroom and the bed was comfortable. We had a delicious dinner at the Boathouse Brewery and Boozery located right across from Lake Huron. Service was perfect along with the view. Go early!

Week getaway

The home was in an adorable and safe neighborhood close to the lake. You can view the lake if you take a walk in the neighborhood . The state park is within walking distance, but if you drive, there is a fee if you don’t have a yearly pass. There is not much shade at the state park beach, so we drove into town to go to the dog friendly, shaded beaches. The home is a bit outdated, but had very comfortable mattresses/beds. We enjoyed the board games and books provided. The grass was a bit overgrown. The house was clean except for the windows and windowsills. The upstairs was a little warm. Overall, we had a fun time. The house had many amenities.
