Very clean and enough room for all

Two adults and two children. Plenty of room to spread out and with great yard in a great location. Beds were comfortable. Upstairs air conditioning was iffy though it is cooler at night that close to water anyways. Our kids didn’t mind. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect property

We loved staying at Ginnys place. The house was in a wonderful part of town within walking distance to so many stores and the lake! The house was super clean and decorated beautifully. There was even crayons, paper and children’s books in the upstairs bedroom that my son loved!

Fantastic location, beautiful decorated home

We loved the location, decor and yard of Tawas st. It didn't sleep 10 but we made it work with air matresses..I did email some questions but never heard back...not a big deal just would have been nice.... could use some larger bowls in kitchen..We really enjoyed our vacation! Would recommend the city and Tawas house to others.
