    We had a great family vacation at “on the rocks”. Location was great, just north of town with a beautiful lake view. Very clean and lots of little extras - snacks, s'more's, popsicles that the kids loved, coffee and creamer, beach toys and towels, etc. The hosts thought of everything you could need for a home away from home! Thanks for a great stay, we look forward to visiting again!

Beautiful, newly renovated, clean, quiet, special details, beds are comfortable and love the sheets! Town is close by and lots of places to take picnics. The owners put love into this cottage.

    This cottage is the definition of cozy & comfortable! It was like a “warm hug” after spending the day exploring East Tawas. The cottage itself gives off the “upnorth Michigan” vibes with its decor and wood plank walls. It is fully stocked with everything to make you feel at home - fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds and furniture and many other personal touches. The lake views are amazing whether enjoying the wonderful deck, cozying up in the enclosed porch or toasting your marshmallows by the fire! Perfect stay for a relaxing & rejuvenating get away!!!!

    We really loved our stay there! Had to leave this morning and didn't want to go. They thought of everything! I even brought stuff for s'mores and it was already there. Cutely decorated and comfortable furniture and all. Spent most of our time there on the deck when we weren't in town and just loved staring at the water or watching the sunrise. Thank you again for an amazing stay. Can't wait to visit again.

    Me and my now husband stayed at this beautiful lake house over Labor Day weekend. It was such a lovely house on the inside but the back of the house is the star of the show. The lake view is amazing. We had a couple of bonfires with the provided wood and fire starters. They had cornhole which was very much used, and lots of other things provided in the house. Everyone that came to visit was amazed by the view and I will be keeping this cabin favorited as I will be staying here again!

    As others have described, this cottage has a beautiful view right in the backyard of lake Huron. It's a short drive to East Tawas for beaches, shopping and dining. The cottage is beautifully furnished with added little extras for your comfort. We were able to sleep with the winows open so we could enjoy the lake breeze.

    On The Rocks is the perfect house to stay at when visiting Tawas. Convenient location to East Tawas and the state park, you really do not need to travel far to experience what the area offers. The house is perfect for a family, extremely comfortable and clean, and the host have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable, including s’mores supplies, beach towels, and sand toys. Definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to visit the area.

    We loved the quiet setting. The house was pristine clean and had everything we needed. Comfy beds. We had friends visit and they complimented the nicer furniture. Plenty of towels, chairs and other amenities. My only comment was I wish there was a place to get to the water. The break wall was too much to climb over. The beaches in town which were really close were beautiful though so we just headed there for our beach fix. Overall excellent stay!!

    Five of us ladies stayed at On the Rocks. We had a ball. It's a beautiful view of the lake and the camp fire was the best. We do a girl family vacation once a year all over Michigan. This is the cleanest, most well stocked place we have stayed at. Fire wood was so appreciated, coffee and creamer were great too. So many little things you take for granted at home were there. You could walk in there with noting but a brush, cloths, tooth paste and tooth brush and have every thing you need.We didn't cook at all since it was our vacation, but if we wanted too, the kitchen was well stocked from pots and pans to spices. We don't do the same place twice, but we are starting to re-think that. I can not come up with once single negative about On the Rocks.
