We rented the Loon Lodge over the Labor Day weekend to celebrate my husband's first days of retirement. Loon Lodge is an adorable 658 sqft cottage but the open layout doesn't feel small at all, and the best part is that it's pet friendly! It is tastefully decorated with the bedroom and bathroom seems to have been recently updated. The screened in porch gave us spectacular sunset views each evening. The location is awesome, we spent time in Tawas City, East Tawas and Oscoda. The area is very pet friendly, we were able to take our pup just about everywhere...there's even a dog beach at Tawas Pointe State Park. The only minor point is that the bed is only a double and was a bit hard to sleep in, probably because we're used to a king. Honestly it didn't impact the enjoyment of our stay. Loon Lodge is an adorable and affordable cottage on a beautiful lake in a wonderful area of Michigan. I would not hesitate to stay here again on our next trip to this area.
Cottage was pleasant and clean. Kitchen was sparce along with basic tools and paper supplies were lightly stocked. Thank goodness we brought some basics with for cooking and back up household supplies! The bedroom was small and not well ventilated making it stuffy with summer heat and the A/C unit didn't vent near the room. The main closet was also locked down making it inconvenient to hang any clothes. The yard and beach front were comfortable and quiet. The beach area was not ideal for swimming but Lake Huron with excellent sandy beach parks was only few miles away.
The place was super cute. Very nice lakeview and patio. I did have to buy paper products such as toilet paper, as there was only a partial roll in the whole house. I was also very disappointed that we were unable to use the lake.Because at the time we were staying it was being chemically treated. That was not disclosed to me when I rented the property. We were looking forward to floating on our tubes. I wasnt to happy about that. Otherwise, I would go back!
