SMALL SLICE OF HEAVEN
Absolutely loved this place!! The only downfall was that we were unaware they put ac in the week before we came, so the fans in our car took a lot of room. Water was clean, neighbors were friendly. They had books and board games too. They had more to offer than expected. I ever back.

Quaint lakeside cabin
Cute cabin right on the lake. Peaceful first thing in the morning and late evening/night. The lake was busy so there was a lot of aquatic vehicle noise; if you’re looking for a quiet lake it might be best to go during the week. The cabin sleeps 10 (if you use the pullout couch in the living room). If you’re going to use the pullout I’d recommend having children sleep on it or someone who likes a firm “mattress”. I’m walking distance to a restaurant and a party store (also sells ice cream by the scoop). I would recommend this property

Perfect Weekend Getaway
The cottage was as described, clean and easy to access. We enjoyed having the beach right in the backyard along with some of the extras like the cornhole boards and paddle boat. Definitely would recommend!

Great getaway
The weekend was great. The boat ramp was a sourace of entertaiment as everyone was taking out there rafts. Very quiet and great weather. The lock on door was frustrating but got over it. Understand the ease of it. The guys loved the kayaks and used them everyday.

Great Getaway
Super nice home steps away from the beautiful Sand Lake. My family of four had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed local golf courses, tubing down the Au Sable, 20 minute day trips to Tawas and of course the Tawas Point Lighthouse. The short walk to the party store and local Bar/Restaurant was a great plus (with fantastic food). Spent many lovely nights on the spacious deck with all amenities for outdoor fun provided by Michelle and Mike; they have thought of it all!

Nice Stay
This is a nice quiet cabin on the lake that is relaxing. The lake is quiet not a lot going. There is a restraint and a store just down the road. A nice short drive to Tawas City. They have a nice pet friendly beach on the bay side of Lake Huron.

Weekend Getaway
Great little cabin on what it looks like all sand bottom lake (“Sand Lake”). We had a wonderful family time filled with kayaking, fishing, bonfires and beautiful sunsets🌅. The lake is shallow for quite some distance perfect for families with kids. 4 kayaks and a canoe to use and share with cabin next door. The other cabin is quite close but that didn’t impact our stay. Cabin had all necessities, bring your own towels and hygiene products. We had a great relaxing weekend!🎉

Fantastic girls weekend
Had a fantastic time staying at the cabin. The cabin was clean and tidy and we had everything we needed. Only a short walk to the local bar and party store. Use of kayaks, paddle boat and row boat made for lots of fun on the water. Nice deck with plenty of comfortable outdoor seating would highly recommend and look forward to a return visit.
