The water and beaches of Tawas Bay are perfect for all kinds of recreation. The bay is perfect for sailing, paddling, fishing, power boating, wave runners, and is recognized as a premier kiteboarding destination. A gradual dropoff from the beach to the bay makes it a fantastic family beach with lots of room for kids of all ages to play, picnic, and relax.

"Fishing at Sunset - Tawas Lake"
📸 Penny Wojahn

The Tawas area has fishing galore, regardless of the season or how much gear you have. Fishing in Tawas Bay includes walleye, northern pike, yellow perch, brown trout, and smallmouth bass. During the spring and fall, whitefish, steelhead, brown trout, lake trout and walleye move along the shoreline of the bay. Fish from riverbanks, the shore, the dock, your own boat, a charter, or the ice in winter. Don't forget to try your luck on the AuSable River, Tawas Lake, Van Etten and Cedar Lakes in Oscoda, along with a host of smaller inland lakes.

Growing up in East Tawas, a small beach town community on the shores of Lake Huron, was a true privilege. When I saw an article posted by Awesome Mitten it reminded me of the memories and experiences I gained from living by the water that will stay with me forever. Here are the top 5 things that made my childhood special:

1. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore of Lake Huron, filling my heart with a sense of peace and wonder. Looking out over the horizon and seeing nothing but blue.

2. The small town community spirit and the bonds I formed with my neighbors and friend. We gathered at the beach, the pier, the park, and spent hours getting sunburned before finally retreating to Marion's or G's.

3. The endless summer days spent playing on the sandy beaches and swimming in the clear waters of Lake Huron. And at times the bone chilling cold water, the kind that takes your breath away as you dive in.

4. The beauty of the sunsets over Lake Huron and the way they painted the sky every evening. Watching fireworks on the beach, over the water.

5. The feeling of belonging to a tight-knit community and being a part of something bigger than myself. The way the whole community gathers for the festivals and parades. Homecoming, 4th of July, and Perchville just to name few.

Do you have any special memories of growing up in East Tawas or the shores of Lake Huron? Share them with us in the comments below!

From stunning sunrises to epic rock hunting and more, I am here to tell you five reasons Lake Huron is arguably the best Great Lake.

We are officially open for bookings! Starting January 23rd come stay with us during your up north travels to Tawas Bay!

We’ve recently restored this lakeshore cabin and can’t wait to share the transformation and more about our renovation journey with you!

17/01/2023

The ceiling and wood panels are probably our favorite feature we added to the cabin. It was important to us to keep as much of the original building as we could, so all of the wood used was reclaimed from the floor joists and attic floor boards. We had to remove all the 100 year old square spike nails then ripped them with the table saw and planed them all to be equal thickness. Although one of the the most time consuming parts of the project, the results were definitely worth it! It came out more beautiful than we ever imagined. Can’t wait for you to see it for yourself!

Swipe to see some of the behind the scenes work and what an amazing transformation was made!

Welcome to La Vida Loon, our cozy cottage on Lake Tawas in East Tawas, Michigan!

This cottage has been a true labor of love over the last 5 months as our family decided to buy this 100 year old property and fully restore it to its former glory once known as Grove Cottages. Born and raised in Tawas, this town and this lake has a very special place in our hearts which was one of the main reasons we wanted to restore this property so that guests could enjoy all the lake has to offer. As first time hosts and being local to the area it means a lot to us to also preserve and protect the community’s culture and the surrounding natural environment.

Nestled on the edge of the lake, our charming cabin offers the perfect retreat for a relaxing getaway.

So whether you’re looking for a quiet weekend escape or a adventurous vacation with friends and family, La Vida Loon is perfect. We cant wait to host you!
