Perfect for an up north get away

This property was in a great location. Close to shopping and close to the local beaches. The extra amenities added to the house (snacks, shampoos/conditioners, items you may have forgotten) was just perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.

weekend getaway

We had an amazing weekend getaway at a house that allowed us to spend quality time together, playing games, visiting, relaxing, and enjoying each other's company. The location was ideal, as we could easily walk downtown to join in the festivities. The owners of the house were fantastic to work with, and we're already looking forward to booking our stay again next year.

Magical Christmas

We stayed with our family consisting of 2 3 year olds and 2 infants. It was amazingly spacious, so clean, and they even set up a little tree to make it really feel like home. The accommodations were amazing and we will be looking to book this house again for any stay we have in Tawas. Can’t thank the owners enough for such an amazing stay.

Best ever

Rented many homes and this was the best one we ever stayed at. The house was very clean, had everything you can possibly want. There was even a few groceries and water in the refrigerator for us. The host was very pleasant and checked up on us to make sure everything was okay. Just walking distance to town . We will definitely be coming back for next year.

Awesome memories

The property was very spacious and very clean! A lot of special touches were provided. Everyone had space to hang out but also rooms large enough to come together. close by the River Scenic Road, beautiful fall colors to see overlooking the Ausable River. Also, 2 blocks from train tracks that go thru town. Grandsons loved it! Close to beaches which would be great for a summer vacation. We will be back. Thank you for a great stay!

What a great place to stay. 2 coworkers and I stayed there for business. What a great location. We felt safe and secure. This location had two tables for us to work and eat from. I had Great communication with Ida. quick to respond and so friendly. I have never been to a Verbo that had so many staples at the house for you including all the different appliances, Coffee, creamer, seasonings, snacks, trash bags, I could go on for 30 minutes about all the extras. What a great location and convenient to downtown. Walking distance to everything. (during our stay was cold outside so we did not walk but would have if it was warmer) We will be back to stay again. Thank you, Ida, for making our stay comfortable.

What a lovely place to stay...

This home was so warm and welcoming and very, very clean and fresh. The additional amenities that were not listened were a welcome surprise. We planned to do some meal preparation and baking during our stay and the kitchen was very-well stocked with all of the basics. Ida, the host was very responsive during our stay whenever we had a question. One of our family members had already booked it for the holidays based on the pleasant stay we had. Highly recommend!

Blues By the Bay Weekend

We were a party of five with several friends that came to East Tawas for the annual blues festival. The house was exactly what we needed!! It was roomy, very clean and comfortable! The garage worked out great as an outdoor gathering spot for all our friends to relax after a day of blues! The location was great too! We walked to the festival every day! It was a great place in every aspect! We’ll be back next year!

Great weekend getaway!

This home was perfect for our long weekend trip! Close in proximity to a majority of what Tawas has to offer. It was fully stocked with all of the essentials you can imagine! From snacks to toothbrushes, they were prepared if needed. I have stayed in many VRBO premier properties and felt this was one of the most clean and welcoming as soon as we walked in the door. My only recommendation of change would be a more comfortable mattress in the master bedroom, but that could just be a personal preference. We hope to return to this wonderful home next time we come the area!

Great house for mid to large sized group

We stayed in mid-August. The house is located about 5 blocks from downtown East Tawas and the marina/beach—an easy walk. The house is very clean, and very well-appointed. Plenty of cookware, cutlery, etc. They supply some snacks, a loaf of bread, eggs, milk, and water bottles. Each bedroom has a tv and Roku. Two living spaces. The owners were very helpful and responsive. We accidentally left an item, which they notified us about and sent it by mail back to us. We are definitely going to be staying here again! Thank you!!
