Ideal getaway for nature lovers!

My husband and I spent the weekend here, and it was absolutely wonderful. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and such a refreshing escape from the city. We enjoyed watching the birds, but the highlight for me was seeing the baby deer roaming around. It was magical. At night, the stars were breathtaking, and the quiet made it even more special. Our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. Sam, the owner, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Truly a perfect stay. We can’t wait to come back.

The Sanctuary was great. It is the second time we stayed there and will be back. Good communication with the host. The place was clean and has everything we needed. It is so peaceful there, we did not want to leave. There were deer and turkey walking around the property.

We had an amazing time. Thank you so much for sharing the beauty.

This is an awesome property, very secluded but still close enough to tawas and oscoda that it’s not a big inconvenience. Friendly and helpful hosts, lodging is modern and homey on the inside. Lots of deer and wild turkey roaming around.

Astonishing beauty and tranquility with abundant wildlife! This place is a nature photographers dream! The perfect place to relax and recharge. The

Sam and Richard were wonderful hosts and the lodge was exactly what we were looking for. If you're reading this, don't wait, book now! You will not be disappointed. Secluded, quiet and beautiful...all while being somewhat close to town.

The statement “ideal getaway for nature lovers!” Is spot on! We went up there to get away from downstate light pollution to get a better view of Perseid meteor showers and didn’t really research the property much besides location. It was a very beautiful and private and very well kept property with a lot of wildlife that we hope to visit again soon when we can plan on spending more time there. Thanks again Sam!

Super nice, quite, secluded and eco-friendly.

We visit the Tawas area often and this time we found this awesome little treasure somewhat off the beaten path from downtown East Tawas. We chose the smaller of the three units available and it was spacious, comfortable, modern and was very clean; it was perfect for us. The property was beautiful with plenty of wildlife to enjoy and my wife and I loved walking around and taking it all in. The lodge is not too far from downtown East Tawas, which has a good selection of restaurants, shopping, and wonderful views of Lake Huron. Other points of interest are Lumberman's Monument and Iargo Springs both of which run along the Au Sable River providing a beautiful scenic backdrop for some great photo opportunities. Tuttle Marsh, which is near by, is a must for any nature lover, bring your camera and binoculars! Our host Sam was very welcoming and responsive and we enjoyed getting to know him, make sure to ask about the history of the property. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay, we felt at home here and look forward to visiting again very soon!

This place is perfect for a little getaway. Sam is a wonderful host, and we enjoyed the clean and inviting accommodations. We saw many deer, trumpeter swans, raccoons, sandhill cranes, etc. We kayaked in Oscoda and spent two peaceful evenings here. We will return.
