INTERACTION WITH GUESTS:

We have a local property manager that lives in the area and is available to address any issues and answer any questions. The property owners themselves are open to chatting if desired, but are also fine with leaving guests alone.


NEIGHBORHOOD:

The home is in a high-end residential district along Lake Huron. Most of the homes in the neighborhood are vacation homes for professional families.

The apartment is only 6.4 miles from wonderful downtown East Tawas! Downtown East Tawas has a great collection of shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, a marina, and a movie theater. During the summer they close down the main street and have live music on Tuesday nights, which is a lot of fun! We would particularly recommend visiting The Village Chocolatier for chocolates and having breakfast at The Lazy Toaster.

The entire area is famous for fishing, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, hiking, and nature viewing and there are a number of different places in the area for these activities. There are also several places in the area that rent out boats, kayaks, and paddleboards for fun on the water if you don't have your own watercraft.


GUEST ACCESS:

Guests have complete access to the studio apartment and to the entire outdoor grounds of the property. The private home below the studio apartment is off limits to guests though.


SPACE:

The interior of the apartment is comfortable, modern, and updated and features a spectacular view of Lake Huron from the main room! The apartment has a queen-size bed, a sofa bed, and small dining table with chairs, and a modern kitchen. The kitchen has a good supply of cooking and dining utensils, but there is no dishwasher. Note that there is also a propane gas grill and outdoor dining furniture on the private deck on Lake Huron. The apartment has a full bathroom with a walk-in shower.

The apartment features Wi-Fi, streaming television, central air conditioning, and forced air natural gas heating. It does not have a washer and dryer.


TRANSIT:

It is highly recommended that guests have their own means of transportation. There is parking space for 1 or 2 vehicles in the private driveway at the property.


PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

1) PRIVACY: The property owners are a retired couple and they live year-round in the house below the apartment. The apartment itself is completely private though. The owners are very friendly and very open to chatting if guests wish to do so, but are also fine with leaving guests alone if they wish to be left alone.

3) PETS: All pets are strictly prohibited.

4) HEATING AND COOLING: The apartment has central air conditioning as well as a forced air gas furnace for heating.
