Great location
Home was very nice. However, sheets were not on beds when we arrived and we had to strip beds, vacuum and clean the house before we left as per check out instructions. This should be done by home owners not guests. Otherwise, great place to stay.

Great time!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the Oak cabin. The Cabin layout was great and had everything we needed. It was quiet and we liked being separated from the other cabins. We didn’t use the beach across the street, we liked the state park beach just a quick ride down the street. We rented a pontoon boat from Jerry’s Marina next door and had a great time out on the bay. There were lots of shallow areas to anchor and hang out and swim. Overall a great location and great experience. We will definitely be back

Had a great weekend stay at the Cabin. The location was perfect being so close to the Tawas State Park, as well as a short drive to town if anything was forgotten. We will return.

Beautiful location, nice place
The Oaks is a fine, spacious "cabin" with a rustic look and surprisingly modern finishes. The decor is a bit on the spartan side but has a luxurious feel with hardwood flooring and lots of knotty pine paneling. Our host was very responsive and took care of our issues promptly. The layout is a nice mixture of group and private spaces. The unit is across the street from the main group of cabins on a large lot so there is lots of privacy.

Beyond unbelievable!!!!
We have been camping in East Tawas at the State Park for 27 years. This year we tried a different approach. This cabin in the woods is phenomenal! We loved the space, showers, large dining room table to play games and eat and the kitchen… wow! Best camping week ever! We will return again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Spectacular East Tawas Cabin
We had a wonderful time visiting with our Grandson in this beautiful cabin. Our Grandson stayed with us and loved the king size bed as well as the jacuzzi. My husband and I both slept as well as we do at home in the super comfortable beds. Just a few issues would not stop us from returning but that’s why the 4 rating instead of 5. Like the previous guests left every pot and pan plus the mixing pans greasy and food in or on them. We definitely left the kitchen cleaner then how we found it! We also had to buy some bake-ware to make homemade meals and desserts for our Coastie grandson. The place could use a couple large bowls that could be put in the microwave. We told Terri about a water issue in the downstairs shower. And the biggest thing for me was too many doors and windows with no window coverings in the dining and living room area which made me very uncomfortable at night!!! All in all with such minor issues we still had a wonderful trip and would definitely stay here again!!!

Beautiful and relaxing
This is a really nice cabin and all of the cabins look just as beautiful. Very relaxing with beautiful views of the water which is steps away. Loved the fire pit. I slept so well and peacefully. I am very pleased with the cleanliness of the cabin and Terri provided excellent customer service and is very responsive. I noticed bad reviews on google and the app from some time ago about a year but it seems to be under new management and they are doing an excellent job. Super pleased with my stay.
