This place is so fun and cute and the host really has thought of everything. We didn't have to bring a lot, most things were supplied and more. Host is very communicative and the house has been updated beautifully and is very clean. We had great weather and a very pleasant stay. We even walked into town and back from the property.

This cottage was perfect for our stay in Tawas! Everything was as advertised. We were close to town and the State Park. We went to the beach a couple of days. We went to Lumberman's Monument and a few of the restaurants. We participated in Tawas Summerfest with our Camaro and even took a couple of the Aliens to the car cruise. Lots of spectators enjoyed our Alien passengers!Melissa has thought of everything to make sure you have an enjoyable stay!

Cute place perfect location

We needed a place for an overnight only stay. It was a great option to find this super cute house that didn’t require a 2-day minimum stay. It’s very close to downtown yet very quiet. We didn’t have an opportunity to use anything the host provided but it is nicely presented. Would recommend this cute place for 1-2 people.

Great location! Cute little place in a quiet neighborhood. Close to water and downtown. Near restaurants and shopping. Had a small issue, but owner was very responsive and willing to help. Lots of coffee and creamer supplied (no tea). A little bummed that we didn't find any firewood, the smores packs were all gone, and the popcorn seasonings were all hardened and unusable, but overall a good stay. We would probably stay again
