The cabin is located in East Tawas Bay on a grassy/sandy beach next to a marina. Sunrise and sunset are beautiful. Checking in/accessing the cabin was somewhat challenging. We arrived after sunset; there is virtually no lighting; and there are no marked parking spots. Also, the code to the front door keypad was incorrect, so we had to call the office number to be let in. The cabin is very spacious, including a large kitchen. The cabin is clean and has many beds. However, the single bathroom is extremely small and cramped. The fireplace doors are damaged and require repair or replacement. The foundation has settled, and there is significant wood rot, resulting in some windows and the back door not closing properly. Nevertheless, the location was good; we were comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay.

Overall enjoyed our stay here. The cabins are right on the shared beach, and the cabins were older, but clean. We will stay again someday; it was a nice getaway!

Beach life

The beach, the view! Our family had a great time! The place is bigger then appears in photos. Beach is right there! Water is is clear and shallow, 6 yr old grandbaby loved it! Cabins are far apart, firepits for each. Table and chairs on the deck, your own picnic table. The room in the back of the house with all the windows, best spot in the house! The sun sets right in front of you, its amazing. Door to the deck is right there, morning coffee with that view! Our dog Lola gave it a paw up, she even met friends! Pack for sand, pack clothes that dry fast, shoes that slip on and off and enjoy

We had a nice stay. We enjoyed the view of the bay and quietness. We had a nice bonfire one night and a fire in the cabin the next. 10 am checkout time seemed early compared to all the places we have stayed. Owner was quick to respond to questions and was very helpful.

Perfect!

We stayrd in Aspen cottage with 4 adults and 3 young children. The cottage was super clean, basically anything that you needed was provided regarding dishes, pots and pans, utensils, and linens. The beach was private and water perfect for the Littles since it was shallow. I would suggest maybe a detachable shower head to help shower the kids since there wasn't a bathtub, but no biggie. We will deffinen6ly be visiting again!

Great property

No complaints about this place. I would just mention that if you are looking for privacy, it's best to go off season. There are five cabins on the property which is maybe an acre or two, with no trees or bushes to break up the views into the next house. But the beach is beautiful, as is the view, and having the state park less than a mile away is great.

Great property and fantastic location! It was very easy to find and close to shopping even though you felt you were in the middle of nowhere. Would definitely stay there again, especially in warmer weather. Another bonus, there was a state park within walking distance of the cabin.
