The cottage is exactly as described. The setup with the bathroom between the two bedrooms is great, and we appreciated the restaurant recommendations. Excellent location for birding in the State Park, and seeing a little group of red-breasted mergansers floating on the lake—while taking the dog around the property for a last little walk before we left—was a bonus.

We enjoyed ourselves very much. Property was very clean; very quiet, close by to town and the beaches in the area. The hosts were wonderful people and great to deal with.

Thank you so much for letting us stay at the Mermaid Cottages. The location was perfect, so close to everything. We loved waking up and sitting by the lake in the morning. We will definitely recommend to friends and come for another stay

Great Weekend Hideaway on Lake Huron

I had a great time at Tawas Bay, awesome to get away from the Southern summer heat and humidity. Got lost momentarily at first, but once you find the mermaid tail sign by the mailboxes, you’ll know where you are. The cabin is the second on the left. While it’s not right on the lake, you can see it through the trees. The host has a deck on her home on the property where you’re welcome to get a great view of the sunrise over the lake. The cabin itself matches what’s shown in the pictures. Plenty of books to read! Plenty of thrillers and romance novels on the bookshelves, if you’re into that. My attention span with reading is low, so I spent my down time reading all the kids books! The bed in the master bedroom is comfy, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well the electric stove cooks the food! You’re only a couple miles down the road from Tawas Point State Park for the beaches. There’s also a lighthouse there, but apparently it’s closed in 2023 due to restorations. A 20 minute drive north is Huron National Forest; lots of trails to choose from for hiking and or bike riding. I highly recommend visiting the Lumbermen’s Monument. The view from the sand dunes overlooking the AuSable River is mind blowing!! Overall a nice chill place to get away from the stresses of urban life!

The cottage was nicely furnished and comfortable. Being so close to Lake Huron was marvelous! The presence of Loons one morning and deer near the road nearly every day was certainly a plus. The coffee was marvelous. The beds were comfortable. The hosts were genial.Thank you!1

This cabin was perfect for a great rustic and cozy vacation. The hosts were very nice. If you book in the winter, be aware that it is winter-proofed in a way that we were unable to see outside. Not a big deal since it still let light in, but a little odd. We loved our stay! Would for sure recommend.
