Lake Life Cottages

Stay where you can park the car and enjoy vacation mode.

Walk to downtown East Tawas for shopping, coffee, dining, and ice cream — or rent bikes from Charley Horse Bike Shop and take the scenic ride to Tawas Point.

That’s the Lake Life Cottages experience 🤍

Unpopular opinion: Tawas Bay has the BEST family swimming water in Michigan — and the west side fans aren't going to like this. 🌊

I'll wait.

While everyone fights crowds for cold Lake Michigan at Holland and Grand Haven, Tawas Bay is over here being:
🌊 Sheltered — it's a protected arm of Lake Huron, not the open water
☀️ Warm by mid-June — the open Sunrise Coast doesn't warm up until July
🏖️ Shallow — you can walk out a long way with little kids and never panic
🪁 Wind-perfect for kiteboarding and sailing when the breeze picks up
👨‍👩‍👧 Family-easy — the kind of water where toddlers can splash without parents in cardiac arrest

And there are no crowds. None. There's a 16-mile shoreline trail that runs south to Au Gres. There are downtown shops and ice cream within walking distance of the beach.

If you're a parent with young kids and you've been driving 4+ hours to Lake Michigan beaches that are too cold to actually swim in until August — Tawas is your move.

Convince me Lake Michigan is better for little kids. I'll wait 👇

We’re heading into a busy summer season and are looking for two interns to join our team.

Spend your summer on the shores of Lake Huron—where others vacation—while gaining hands-on experience in a fast-paced, high-end hospitality environment. With 17 booked wedding weekends, our season is dynamic, energetic, and full of opportunity to learn.
