This property worked out great for our family of 2 adult couples and a 20-something male along with 1 dog. The view out of the front of the home is not appealing, however you can see that in the photos provided, so that is your choice to make. It was not an issue to us because we wanted the close proximity to the state park. We enjoyed the human beach and the dog beach every day and we all rode bikes, drove and walked back & forth from the house to the park. BigBoy is right at the corner (yum) as well as a steakhouse that looked very nice inside that we did not try. We also went to town and enjoyed the brewery, the shops and fish at Augies. We drove up north to another state park with some good rock hunting (no rocks in Tawas) north of Oscode in Harrisville for the afternoon and tried a brewery up that way, food was great there too. The home's backyard is nice, as is the fire-pit and table & chairs and grill out back. The kitchen is great. The house could use a new coffee pot! BYO. The air conditioning units were amazing! We had to use fans we brought to push the cool air towards the other bedrooms upstairs. Everything was immaculately clean, towels and sheets were great. The only thing for me was that I am highly allergic to feathers and the sofa in the living room is full of them. We just covered the sofa with sheets and blankets. This is no downfall of the the owner or the rental agency. It's my fault. Would rent again if sofa was replaced otherwise great rental for $$!
