Lake/beach front property with kayaks, pedal boat, & row boat, near Tawas Bay

THIS PROPERTY HAS TWO CABINS, IF YOU HAVE A LARGE GROUP CONSIDER RENTING BOTH. THE VRBO ID FOR THE OTHER CABIN (WHITE) IS 3588763.

Air conditioning was added summer 2023.

Also note, dock will be in water from Memorial Day thru Labor Day. Kayaks, pedal boat, row boat are available early April - late October.

This cozy cabin has been completely updated. New appliances, dishes, cookware & furniture, smart TV with WiFi, bathroom, beds and bedding.

Located on all sports Sand Lake, with a private sandy beach, includes 4 kayaks, pedal boat, dock, fire pit, large deck with outdoor furniture and more. Dock available Memorial Day (maybe earlier) thru Labor Day (maybe later). Large lakefront area with shallow water going out a long way into the lake,

There are two cabins that share the beach, water toys, dock.... Each cabin has separate deck and fire pit.

Parking is very limited, especially in the winter. In the summer we can squeeze 4-5 cars in BOTH cabins. If you only rent one cabin then at most 2 vehicles. In the winter, may only have room for three vehicles (including trailers) for BOTH properties. It really depends on how much snow there is and how well the surrounding areas are plowed. There are empty lots nearby, park at your own risk.

Cabins are right next to boat launch, which you cannot park on. Very easy to launch boats or get to lake for snowmobiles...

All bedding is provided. Only hand and kitchen towels are provided, please bring your own bath and beach towels. Bath soap, shampoos not provided. Dish soap is provided.

Trailheads are located very close for snowmobiles and ORV's.

In the winter, perfect for snowmobiling, ice fishing, bike races on the lake.

15 minute drive to Tawas Bay, Hale, Whittemore and a little further to Oscoda, Omer, Standish (casino) and West Branch (outlet mall).

To do in the area: plenty of lakes for all water activities, trails for hiking, golf, state and national parks, river tubing/canoeing….

Charcoal grill and propane grill is provided, please bring your own charcoal or propane (small 1 pound tanks),

SMALL SLICE OF HEAVEN
Absolutely loved this place!! The only downfall was that we were unaware they put ac in the week before we came, so the fans in our car took a lot of room. Water was clean, neighbors were friendly. They had books and board games too. They had more to offer than expected. I ever back.

Quaint lakeside cabin
Cute cabin right on the lake. Peaceful first thing in the morning and late evening/night. The lake was busy so there was a lot of aquatic vehicle noise; if you’re looking for a quiet lake it might be best to go during the week. The cabin sleeps 10 (if you use the pullout couch in the living room). If you’re going to use the pullout I’d recommend having children sleep on it or someone who likes a firm “mattress”. I’m walking distance to a restaurant and a party store (also sells ice cream by the scoop). I would recommend this property

Perfect Weekend Getaway
The cottage was as described, clean and easy to access. We enjoyed having the beach right in the backyard along with some of the extras like the cornhole boards and paddle boat. Definitely would recommend!

Great getaway
The weekend was great. The boat ramp was a sourace of entertaiment as everyone was taking out there rafts. Very quiet and great weather. The lock on door was frustrating but got over it. Understand the ease of it. The guys loved the kayaks and used them everyday.

Great Getaway
Super nice home steps away from the beautiful Sand Lake. My family of four had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed local golf courses, tubing down the Au Sable, 20 minute day trips to Tawas and of course the Tawas Point Lighthouse. The short walk to the party store and local Bar/Restaurant was a great plus (with fantastic food). Spent many lovely nights on the spacious deck with all amenities for outdoor fun provided by Michelle and Mike; they have thought of it all!

Nice Stay
This is a nice quiet cabin on the lake that is relaxing. The lake is quiet not a lot going. There is a restraint and a store just down the road. A nice short drive to Tawas City. They have a nice pet friendly beach on the bay side of Lake Huron.

Weekend Getaway
Great little cabin on what it looks like all sand bottom lake (“Sand Lake”). We had a wonderful family time filled with kayaking, fishing, bonfires and beautiful sunsets🌅. The lake is shallow for quite some distance perfect for families with kids. 4 kayaks and a canoe to use and share with cabin next door. The other cabin is quite close but that didn’t impact our stay. Cabin had all necessities, bring your own towels and hygiene products. We had a great relaxing weekend!🎉

Fantastic girls weekend
Had a fantastic time staying at the cabin. The cabin was clean and tidy and we had everything we needed. Only a short walk to the local bar and party store. Use of kayaks, paddle boat and row boat made for lots of fun on the water. Nice deck with plenty of comfortable outdoor seating would highly recommend and look forward to a return visit.
