If you enjoy boating, fishing, birdwatching, biking, or spending the day at the beach, this is the right property for you.

--Rent a pontoon boat, kayaks, motorboats, or jet skis at Jerry's Marina (a short walk from the property).
--Walk a few blocks to the 183-acre Tawas Point State Park with its historic lighthouse (1876), bird preserve, playgrounds, nature trail, and beaches (including a dog-friendly beach).
--From the end of the park's nature and birding trail (dogs and bikes are not permitted here) you can relax on the beach to watch the sun rise over Lake Huron or set over Tawas Bay.

The house itself has been lovingly cared for with beautiful woodwork everywhere--from the floors to the ceilings--set off by abundant natural light. Features include a tree-shaded fire pit, three-season room, upstairs family suite, two televisions, and well-furnished kitchen. Note that the property has no A/C, though it does have more than two-dozen windows and a half-dozen ceiling fans. One dog per family is welcome, but owners are asked to notify us in advance.

Michigan Audubon reports that Tawas Point "is well known for high concentrations of migrating warblers during the month of May. Species highlights have included Kirtland’s Warbler, Cape May Warbler, Golden-winged Warbler, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, White-crowned Sparrow, numerous raptors, shorebirds, and more. In 2019, 178 species were spotted" during the area's annual birding festival (in May).

Tawas Point State Park is also the westernmost stop on the Saginaw Bay Birding Trail, which covers 142 miles. According to the Saginaw Bay birding and birding trail website, "[t]he Saginaw Bay watershed is the largest contiguous freshwater coastal wetland system in the United States. This is a critical migratory stopover for over 250 bird species of which over 200 species remain to establish nesting territories in this habitat rich and diverse region."
