My sister in law and myself got away for a few days. I lost my husband (her brother) a few months ago and wanted serenity and peace...and we got it. 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.

Perfect place for a getaway
The cabin is so charming and clean! Loved the location as it was close to downtown area and beaches. If I had one thing to suggest, lamps would be nice in each bedroom and another one in the living area. Overall it was a perfect getaway and we’d love to come back next summer

Cozy Comfort!!!
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!!!!

Beautiful ⛱️ beachy home
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.

AMAZING
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!

On The Rocks at Lake Huron
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.

Fantastic Stay on Lake Huron

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.

Perfect spot
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!!

Girl Family Vacation
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.

This place was unbelievable! It was as clean and neat as a 5 star hotel. The view of the lake through not one but 2 doorwalls was picture perfect. We spent many hours on the deck looking out at the lake. The owners thought of everything regarding amenities inside and outside. I would highly recommend this property, we will definitely be coming back!
