The Best Way to Stay in Tawas... Is to Stay on the Bay

Enjoy the crowds of Tawas by day, and the peace of a private lakefront cabin by night. Just a short scenic drive away.

Why Smart Travelers Choose Au Gres

Escape the tourist traps. Enjoy a private full home, not just a cramped motel room.

Most Tawas rentals are across the street from the water. Ours are on the water.

Drive 20 minutes, save significantly on nightly rates (and gain privacy).
