Lovely weekend getaway!

I stayed in this place for a weekend with two of my friends. It's such a cozy little cabin & we enjoyed spending our evening there with nothing but the radio :) The next morning, we only had a short walk to the lake to view the cold November sunrise

Our time away

Cabin was nice clean and comfortable for us and our two dogs. The view from the private dock there is an amazing was amazing. Just one thing for those who have dogs who love the water like ours. There is no access to the water on the property, however, the state park is two miles away and there is an amazing dog beach there!

Lovely cabin with views of the lake!

The cabin was very cozy and had everything we needed. It's a smaller place but we planned on spending most of our time exploring and we had room in the cabin for myself, my husband and our 2 young sons and dog. It's beautiful to see Lake Huron and its a pretty quiet street if you want to go for a walk/bikeride. Close to the Point and also to downtown East Tawas. Very cute place and the owners were nice--also simple check-out which is a treat.

Nice getaway

Enjoyed our stay! Nice, clean semi secluded location only a few minutes from the state parks and beaches. Clean, simple, no frills cottage there was no ac unit but lots of fans! All of the electric outlets only had two prong plugins but luckily they supplied a three way converter for my moms cpap machine.

It is not waterfront. Fourth house from the lake.

The cabin was clean, but very dated. Owner was very responsive, which means a lot.

Quant cabin getaway

The cabin was perfect for what we needed. The double sized bunk beds were a nice bonus. The hosts were amazing and responded to our need’s immediately. It did not bother us but the WiFi was spotty. I’d just plan on not having any reception. Beautiful location and the private dock was nice. Did not bother us walking by the other cabins to get to the lake. I would definitely stay here again if in the area.

An engaged couple and their dog!

A couple and their dog. My girlfriend & I got engaged on this trip! And it all went incredibly well because of our VRBO property rentals. This was our first extended vacation together with a dog and the property and surrounding areas & restaurants were all very dog friendly! If we ever came back to this area again I would consider rebooking this property because the stay was good. The property owners were very proactive and reached out ahead of time providing important information to us before we needed. That is especially great if you traveling in areas where the broadband isn’t great. We loved this property and appreciate it helping us make some wonderful memories for us!

Nice rustic get away with bare minimum needs

The host was very nice to answer my hundred questions, lol. Cabin felt like a cabin. Had most essentials needed. The picture of the cabin shows a couch in the living room, would definitely recommend putting some type of chair whether recliner or couch. It only had 4 wooden rockers, they were comfy, but not for extended time. And directions how to turn up/down furnace. No tv, or microwave. But it was nice:) It was a bit awkward walking to the dock only because you pass the other cabins and the host house and other cabins. But in all, this was a nice, clean getaway! Host were very friendly and quick to help. Planning to come back and rent the bigger cabin on the lake!!:).

Good weekend getaway

This was very cute but was very outdated. The furnace really needs to be replaced, it was a cold couple nights. There is no TV and wifi barely worked. Since this was a getaway with my bf I was actually pretty happy with that! The one thing I cannot get past is that they had no couch, only 4 rocking chairs! No place to cuddle! We did end up having a great time and the view from their dock during sunrise was amazing.

OK but not what I was looking for

The cabin was as described although more rustic than vintage. I was looking for something on the water and I couldn't even see the lake from the cabin, so I cut my stay short.

beautiful and safe cabin for pups

our great pyrenees is a crazy girl and loved to get into things. this is our first vacation with her and we were apprehensive about having to dog proof the cabin, but it was great and we didn’t have to worry at all about her getting into stuff. all of the cabinets had a latch to keep them closed as well as the kitchen cabinets being so high up. it was a BEAUTIFUL cabin and i’d 100% stay again.

A Weekend In Tawas

Jenn made our stay truly great. My wife and I loved our weekend in Tawas and the Sage Cottage was in a great location and was just what we needed for our weekend away. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone wanting to get away.
