Already looking to book for next year

This is one of the best properties we’ve ever stayed at! It was great for our large group and had everything we needed. We could walk out of the front door and go fishing and swimming whenever the kiddos wanted. Overall just a really great place!

October in Tawas

House was nice. Good bathrooms. We wish the king sized bed was in one of the first floor bedrooms. We loved being that close to the park! The dog friendly beach was a bonus.

Yard, "beach" not good! House was very nice. Location was near State Park and nice streets to walk to was good. Near downtown Tawas a plus.

Beautiful sunsets

Lovely cabin that roomily fit all eight adults. We used the small dining table for a jigsaw puzzle area and all ate at the larger dining room table. Location is walkable to the state park and lighthouse. We rented kayaks from the marine shop next door. Comfortable beds and clean bathrooms. Kitchen has dishes and most basics but could use a baking sheet or two. We brought our own crockpot. We had a great stay.

Nice Stay

We had a wonderful visit to East Tawas. The physical location of this house is great - walkable to Tawas Point Park and a quick drive into town. The VRBO property's yard was unkept; the shrubs were overcrowding the front porch and the grass that you had to walk thru to get to the lakeside entrance was quite tall. As stated in the listing, this propery is nextdoor to a marina, but it appears to share the property with the marina - there was a lot of marina equipment in piles on both sides of the property. Once you get past all that tho, the view of the bay is quite beautiful and we did get a huge flock of geese each night that came to visit the yard, which was incredible to watch. Inside the house is clean, and cared for. The bedrooms were large and the beds were comfortable. There were plenty of towels provided, and the kitchen supplies were adequate. There were no food staples - salt, pepper, cooking oil, etc at the property, and the outdoor grill grates were pretty rusty looking, so plan accordingly if you will be cooking. Overall a nice stay.

Nice House Inside, Tons of Room

The inside of the house was nice with plenty of room for me and my three adult children to spread out and we enjoyed our stay.....inside! However the outside of the house was less than desirable. The shrubs were overgrown over the side porch and on the lake side obscuring the view of the lake from the deck. We were very conscientious about picking up after our dog, however, the backyard was covered with goose droppings. Although we had hoped to enjoy time at the beach, unfortunately (or fortunately) the weather didn't cooperate. We were forewarned about the marina equipment occupying part of the sandy path to the beach but we were surprised to see big tractors on the beach and directly in front of the house working on the rickety dock. I chose this house for the "serene lakefront" location but it felt a bit like we in a construction site. Needless to say we spend most of our time in the house or in town, but overall we enjoyed our time inside the very comfortable house. I'm sure when the marina construction is done and the yard is given some TLC it will be beautiful!

A lakeside getaway

We stayed at The Whitehouse and had a wonderful time. It was still early in the season so we didn't have to contend with traffic or lots of tourists. We had the marina to ourselves and enjoyed every moment.

Nice stay near Tawas point state park

Great sized house for our group of 6 and suited our needs of being close to tawas state park for the birding very well! I gave 4 stars on check in and communication because we had a hard time getting into the house and I couldn’t get ahold of anyone for some time but once we got in, was all smooth sailing!

Charming interior

This house is exactly what we needed for a nice winter weekend getaway. Thinking about renting this house during the summer. There is a lot more square footage in this house than I expected. Very spacious. Seems like it would be a great house to use with a boat during the summer time.

This is a very old house that has been very nicely renovated on the inside with very excellent fixtures and decor. The inside is quite large and would be perfect for a large group. All bathrooms are on the main floor; no bathroom on the second level. The cleanliness was outstanding. The exterior of the house looks ramshackle. We weren’t sure it was the correct house. No address numbers or name posted and so so diskempt. The house is badly in need of renovation on the outside, including badly overgrown shrubbery, rotting steps and deck, and mostly sand for a yard, not the grass shown in the photos. The house is not “serene” as described. It is encircled by Jerry’s Marina and sits right on the edge of the marina parking lot. Each morning trucks pulled in and parked right next to the bedroom windows. So loud. Our view from the other side of the house out the dining room windows was old docks stacked high into the air and covered at least a block of the lot. The view from the front of the house was toward Lake Huron but you couldn’t really see it. There is a small body of water directly in front of the house where the marina parks their pontoon and other boat rentals as well as wave runners which are pulled up onto the lot. The shrubbery also blocks a lot of the view. The marina, however, is convenient for ice, snacks, firewood and ice cream as their store is only a few feet away. There is no laundry in the house although posted. Good location so close to state park and town.

Everything you need for a fantastic vacation

This property met all of our needs for our family vacation! The property was well maintained and clean. Everything we needed to prepare meals was available. There was adequate lawn space for games and the beach area was really nice. The location is ideal, close to downtown but also great for walks to the lighthouse!! We will definitely be back!!

Girls weekend in East Tawas

We love the spaciousness of the house. There is plenty of room for those that want to watch movies, playing games, puzzles, and a big dining room table. The weather was too cold to be outside but there’s a deck and two picnic tables, that we hope to take advantage of next year. We will go a little bit later in the year. The only downside is the marina is on both sides of the house. But it is not overly loud while we were there. It’s very convenient for those who would like to rent a pontoon or JetSki’s.

Family Get Away

The GPS took us to the wrong address but we were able to find it with the map. Everything worked out as the instruction outlined. The 4 BR 3 Ba home was perfect for our group. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. The Smart TV allowed us to sign in and stream our choice of movies. Lots of table space to gather for meals and a wonderful view of the bay from the back room. Our Family Thanksgiving get away workeded out great.

Relaxing Getaway

I rented this house with my husband, sister, and parents for a long weekend getaway. It was a perfect house to rent for us and we were all pleased with the accommodations. The house was clean and organized. The Kitchen was well stocked for our cooking needs, there was plenty of space to eat and relax both in and outside. The bedrooms were set up nice and had lots of room. The beds were comfortable and a great touch is a fuzzy/comfort blanket at the bottom of each bed. It is in an unusual location being on the marina property, but we had plenty of privacy. We will be back.
