About this property

Sand Lake Cottage - near Tawas

State land within walking distance (right off of the paved bike path outside your door). ORV Trails are 1 ½ miles away and can be driven right from the driveway.

This gorgeous cabin is located on an all sports lake and was recently renovated to an open floor plan. The bathroom has a full tub/shower with an endless hot water system. Equipped with dish network, DVD/CD & portable radio & patio fire pit to use. There is a full size charcoal grill on the uncovered brick patio along with a couple of chairs & a picnic table.

The yard is large enough to play games and also has a large fire pit. All of the essentials you might need (including movie rentals, ice cream stand, pizza, hot food, fire wood, etc.) is located across the street.

There is a bike/rollerblade/walking path right outside the front door which will take you around all 7 lakes in the area. A playground is located around the corner and a public beach/picnic area on Sand Lake is about 1/4 mile, restaurants, gas station & additional stores (all along the bike path).

We are located 15 minutes from East Tawas where there is plenty of shopping, piers for fishing, beaches on Lake Huron, putt putt golf, etc. We are also 30 minutes either way from Omer & Oscoda where there are canoe rentals. Hale is 15 minutes away also.

Please note that there are 2 cabins located on the same property which share the private sandy beach, yard and large fire-pit.

Just what we needed
Cute, comfy and clean. Great location with a store, bar and microbrewery all in walking distance. Folks at store across the street have a little of everything and are super friendly. Wasn't the best weather but there was plenty to do in the area. Nice rides and walks. Thanks Sue!

Place is very clean, fully equipped kitchen, full bathroom, access to small lake. It is small though. Only 1 bedroom with queen bed. For a family of 4 with teenagers and a large dog it was way too small. The 3 stars are for sleeping arrangements. My kids had to use an old couch and even older futon that was very uncomfortable. AC is in the main room right over the futon so we could not use it at night as it would blow air right on your head. I believe if owners invested in a bunk bed it would increase the comfort of stay. I believe it is a great getaway for 2. Area is nice and quiet, only 10 miles from East Tawas which I fell in love with. There are OTR trails near by the town hall which we were able to walk every day (lots of sand) - loved that. Convenience store across the street. Lots to do in the area for those who like nature.

Family Vacation
The location is fantastic. Only 15 minutes from Tawas City. The lake stays shallow enough for quite a ways out, making it great for my kids. There is a great big swing that my kids loved. Plenty of yard to run around in for kids and animals. The home is cozy and the owner is kind. I'd stay here again.

Great stay on the lake
We stayed here last summer and it was the perfect little getaway at the lake. Great location and the host was wonderful and very friendly. Check in was easy. Everything you need in the cabin for cooking, etc. and the party store across the street made it even more convenient. Can’t wait to go back, in the works of booking our next stay for this year. Thank you Sue!

About the host

Hosted by Susan

Host profile image
My husband's family built a cottage (with Sand Lake access) down the street in 1978. When his parents decided to sell the property we decided to purchase our property on Sand Lake. It is only 3 hours from where we live so we travel there often to 'get out of the city.'

Why they chose this property

The cottage is only 10 miles from East Tawas and Lake Huron. There is a bike/rollerblade/walking path right outside the front door which will take you around all 7 lakes in the area. There is also a playground right around the corner and plenty of other children to play with in the area. We are located about 15 minutes from East Tawas where there is plenty of shopping, a long pier for fishing, beaches on Lake Huron, etc. We are also about 30 minutes either way from Omer & Oscoda where there are canoe rentals.

What makes this property unique

Beautifully renovated, open concept cottage on beautiful private sandy beach/lakefront on (all sports) Sand Lake. Our cottage has a fully equipped kitchen and dining area that is open to the living room. Enjoy the relaxation on the patio or enjoy the private beach. The water is so clear and sandy with a slow gradual slope and you can even see the snails making trails in the water! There is also a dock for swimming when weather permits. There is also a shared fire pit on the beach. Take a short walk to Huron National Forest State Park, playground and local stores for ice cream, pizza, movie rentals and other necessities.
