The property was exceptional. Small touches that gave it a 5 star feeling. Many extra amenities that I don't usually see at places I have stayed. Lots of towels, even had robes. A good view of Lake Huron with an easy walk to beach. Bed was very comfy. Decorated very nice with small touches of color. The sleeping arrangements would work well for a family or a fun girl week.

The house was immaculate and exactly as pictured. Cozy and not too far from the Lake. You can get a view through the trees and hear the waves. Access to the Lake is not far. Check-in and Check-out instructions were very clear and easy to follow. A few of our favorite things were the towels and linens - they were luxurious. Silly thing to point out, but we've had some bad experiences and really only expect average for these little touches! King bed was super comfortable as well as the furniture. We felt spoiled. The hosts were very quick to respond when we had questions.

Lake Huron Cottage

My husband and I had a wonderful time staying in this cottage. It was very clean and comfortable. It is located about 10 minutes from downtown Tawas and even though it is not on the water with a short walk there is access to a sandy beach. Also, our host was great, they went out of their way to make our time enjoyable. We will definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Nazih and Laurene Hazime

Host profile image
We both were born and raised in Southeast Michigan, and had a connection to beautiful and pristine Northeast Michigan. We spent many vacations with family and friends on or around the shores of Lake Huron. When we married, we bought a vacation home in East Tawas. We found the the shores of Lake Huron provided a peaceful and fulfilling environment at the same time all the qualities and serenity of small town Lake life. After living out of state for several years, once we both retired, our vacation home became our permanent home. We enjoy the tranquil, peaceful and worry-free life on beautiful Lake Huron, where the calmest of days provide peacefulness to the soul, and the blistering days and ferociousness of the water awakens our senses and stimulates our adventure to another beautiful day on Lake Huron.

Why they chose this property

We wish to share with others the tranquil quality of life on Lake Huron that we enjoy. We purchased this Cottage Loft home so others may experience the pristine peacefulness and every changing Lake Huron. And we hope it will draw people back to the Lake over and over again, to fulfill their soul and provide a new adventure every time.

What makes this property unique

The uniqueness of the Cottage Loft, from it’s new and beautifully accomplished interior walls, floors, and unique fine finishes, to the exterior quality construction and appointments. From the porch swing to the lighted pathway from the driveway, it is beautiful workmanship. It was newly upgraded and remodeled in 2018 with the finest of finishings from the fully equipped kitchen to the shower with a cascading waterfall tile wall, and the beautiful wood flooring of the Loft. We were drawn to the quaintness of the interior, but also to the views of Lake Huron 150 feet away from the Loft balcony and sitting areas, where others may come and enjoy rest and relaxation, and be able to rejuvenate their souls.
