About this property
Walk to Tawas Bay Beach! Peaceful Modern Retreat
Summer by the lake awaits!
Super cozy, modern ranch home located just two blocks from beautiful Tawas Bay and only a 5-minute walk (or 1-minute drive) to charming downtown East Tawas, where you'll find local restaurants, shops, a movie theater, coffee spots, and summer events along the waterfront.
This peaceful retreat is designed for rest, connection, and creativity. Whether you're here for a family vacation, a couple's getaway, girls’ weekend, or simply looking for a quiet place to recharge near the water.
Spend your summer days enjoying everything Northern Michigan has to offer. Walk to the beach, go for morning swims, bike along the lakeshore, or explore the scenic shoreline at Tawas Point State Park and Lighthouse.
If you love nature and/or hiking beautifully wooded trails, take a short drive to the Lumberman's Monument and Iargo Springs, which both overlook the beautiful Ausable River. You may even be inclined to pack a picnic for the beautiful sunsets on the sand dunes of the Ausable River.
For the more adventurous, book a half/full day canoe or tubing trip to experience the full beauty of the famous Ausable! ....Plan to pack a cooler & snacks!
Corsair and Silver Valley Trail System is 15 minutes away, offering many miles of hiking and viewing different wildlife. (Hiking trail maps at the house)
After a full day outdoors, come home to unwind in the private backyard. Fire up the propane grill for dinner, relax beneath the patio lights with a good book or glass of wine, and gather around the fire pit to roast s’mores and share stories under the stars.
